12:07 am

libarebel

12:07 am

torgone

d7/36

12:07 am

knutmeg

(part of me wonders which 8 words it is, there aren't a heck of a lot of z words out there comparitively)

12:08 am

ShadeEagle

yeah - I'm sure we'll figure it out pretty quickly.

12:09 am

ShadeEagle

wow, tons of plural / past tense / action verb potential

12:10 am

helenkeller

huh - i had that 'chat log loading' problem again - but fran, if you're around, thanks, used your suggestion & now it works

12:10 am

LeslieAnn

helen we had the same idea today

12:11 am

libarebel

nice icon, helenkeller

12:11 am

helenkeller

lol leslie - great minds . . .

12:11 am

ampersand

m7/44

12:12 am

helenkeller

but leslie - the twigmeister, with a braid !?!?!?!

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

i mean it's not like she pops into my head b/c i watch america's next top model all the time... *hangs head in shame*

12:12 am

Dr_God

Sorry about the "chat log is loading.." problem again.

12:12 am

ShadeEagle

a 7/ 60, while we're at it

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

i couldn't find a nice head shot like you have... i'll try again

12:12 am

mrpresident

Hello Everyone!!

How many Z's ??? no way!

12:12 am

libarebel

love barbie clone i

12:12 am

helenkeller

dr-g - it was suggested that i hit the 'hide/show chat' button & that seemed to work

12:13 am

ch1212

Thanks Dr_God. Hi Mr. P!

12:13 am

libarebel

barbie clone, you're beautiful!

12:13 am

mrpresident

hey ch1212!

12:14 am

saphyre

sams

12:14 am

helenkeller

leslie - ANTM is a great show!!! i love it!!! but this time i think they messed up big time, both the blond & the nutcase would have been better winners than miss thang

12:14 am

LeslieAnn

there, that's better

12:14 am

saphyre

oops

12:14 am

LuwandaHL

I got the a7/60

12:14 am

saphyre

good thing that isnt a word :)

12:14 am

LeslieAnn

helen!! i haven't watched the last one yet. but i knew what happened anyway. you didn't like danielle? she was my favorite.

12:15 am

helenkeller

ch1212 - nice icon (i considered that one)

12:15 am

ch1212

thanks, helenkeller -- I always thought Jackie was chic, in whatever decade she graced :)

12:15 am

knutmeg

anglo isn't a word?!

12:15 am

mrpresident

is it pink day?? your icons are lovely and pink!

12:15 am

libarebel

amazin is too a word

12:15 am

ch1212

knutmeg, I think it's usually capitolized, like Hispanic

12:16 am

LeslieAnn

it is 60s day, mr. p

12:16 am

libarebel

and so is anglo

12:16 am

mrpresident

I am on it!! need to find an Icon to suit...

12:16 am

torgone

Don't mention the war ...

12:16 am

knutmeg

right on, libarebel

12:16 am

helenkeller

really leslie ?- i liked the other 2 better, both personality-wise & model-wise - well, there you go . . ps. i like your new icon much better :)

12:17 am

dalmatian5

This grid is not as easy as I thought it should be!

12:17 am

libarebel

indeed, nutmeg

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

pshaw! danielle was the only one with a personality and a sense of humor. jade looked like a tranny, period. i wouldn't have minded if joanie won

12:18 am

libarebel

Lovely icon, ch1212...

12:18 am

ShadeEagle

I think I'm just gonna go to 600 points and then call it a night

12:19 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, i was considering a laugh-in icon, which would be appropriate since "goldie" is in the grid (won't take it, though)

12:20 am

helenkeller

leslie - i just loved it when nigel, the photographer judge said (early on) jade just needs to get laid - i thought that was sooooooo funny - with his proper brit accent & all

12:20 am

ch1212

thanks, libarebel -- I always admired Jackie

12:20 am

knutmeg

stid- now the other half of yoru name is in the puzzle! :-)

12:21 am

ShadeEagle

hey, 2 m 7/ 44

12:21 am

LeslieAnn

i thought it was obvious early on that either joanie or danielle would win when they took them to the dentist -- when have they fixed major flaws of any other contestants??

12:21 am

libarebel

What a class act JackieO was!

12:23 am

helenkeller

they did something like that once before - oh yeah, for the tall, skinny (lol, yeah that narrows it down, lol) blonde hick chick who cheated on her boyfriend - 2 seasons ago - i think they did something for her eyes so she wouldn't need her glasses

12:23 am

helenkeller

or i may be confusing her with the one who was going blind- it all blends together, lol

12:23 am

ampersand

Shandi, I think her name was

12:23 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, i don't know if i watched that one, yeah, i just remember the one who was going blind

12:23 am

helenkeller

yessssss amp -that's the one!!!!!

12:24 am

libarebel

I think that was you helen? lol

12:25 am

libarebel

I think helenkeller went blind...

12:25 am

helenkeller

yes, lib, i am often mistaken for a supermodel, ah such is my life :)

12:25 am

LeslieAnn

teehee

12:25 am

helenkeller

gag

12:25 am

knutmeg

I'd like to know how one of the ma4/5s is not a proper noun. Its the name of a chocolate bar *and* a planet, and (i think) some greek person or other... name, name, name proper noun, yes?

12:26 am

libarebel

supermodels must gag to stay svelte?

12:26 am

LeslieAnn

doesn't it mean like to mark on something?

12:26 am

kristinc

knut...you can also m** something (ruin it)

12:26 am

helenkeller

LOL - did you see what i wrote for my icon today -lol - it's the theme

12:26 am

torgone

It's also present tense of "to deface"

12:27 am

libarebel

knutmeg-- the red planet

12:27 am

knutmeg

oh, that definition... (headdesk)

12:27 am

ch1212

Just read it, helenkeller --- wonderful! And sadly, true

12:27 am

fig

ma4/5 is also the third person present of "to damage"

12:27 am

LeslieAnn

meg don't fall asleep there! come back!

12:27 am

knutmeg

speaking of chocolate bars... *wanders off to get some food*

12:28 am

LeslieAnn

oh, i guess we don't have to worry about h er

12:28 am

helenkeller

yeah ch1212, very sad, was just talking with a friend whose daughter is bulimic - mega problems

12:29 am

helenkeller

ooooh, i have a grey box !!!

12:29 am

LeslieAnn

yeah, me too, it's the first s ;)

12:30 am

12:33 am

samurph26

12:33 am

LeslieAnn

oh yeah, sure, of course, i have about 75. or 38, whichever you prefer

12:33 am

helenkeller

LOL - you crack me up!!!

12:33 am

ch1212

oh, believe me, there's a lot of babblers on right now who have LOTS more than me or most of us. Sprite does these in minutes -- she's phenomenal.

12:33 am

libarebel

pls! type in one I don't have!:)

12:34 am

ch1212

there is a nice ma 7/44 that means when something gets smashed up, it gets ma 7/44

12:34 am

helenkeller

yeah - well - yeah, it's much harder to babble& chat at the same time. so there, i think that's pretty phenomenal too - LOL

12:35 am

ShadeEagle

12:35 am

libarebel

mrpresident

12:45 am

The Student

bgood2animals

Helenkeller, you know Helen Keller did once say "nature makes the differences and society calls them handicaps"

1:07 am

bgood2animals

Speaking of handicaps, it is tough to keep up with the rankings; should we all babblers get some "handicaps" with the rankings? :)

1:07 am

libarebel

crazie is not found...

1:07 am

libarebel

aargh, to bed

rycaut

1:11 am

knutmeg

1:11 am

helenkeller

bgood - that quote you said reminds me of one by nehru - he said, "life is like a game of cards. the hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will."

1:11 am

knutmeg

2:38 am

sprite

It's never too late for Tolkien, sherb. ;)

2:39 am

Miss ABS

LOL Well I'm not a marmite fan myself, I much prefer vegemite. No nasty aftertase with that.

Have a great day, FMitch.

2:41 am

sherb

2:44 am

libarebel

Is it a custom now todetermine gender based on the color of one's handbag? (hee hee)

2:45 am

Miss ABS

lol

2:46 am

sprite

You got me thinking on that one, libarebel! Isn't that discriminating? Shouldn't a man be allowed to wear a pink handbag? And, even more important, shouldn't we women be allowed to wear every color handbag we choose? Even blue? Or none at all?

2:46 am

Miss ABS

I'd lose a handbag if i carried one!

2:47 am

mab

i want green

2:47 am

libarebel

lololol, sprite, yes to all of the above

2:47 am

sherb

finally done the Z's... time I got dressed... later all :)

hi and bye mab :)

2:47 am

sprite

I do have a handbag. Somewhere. Believe it is hanging on the hatstand. Has been there the last year or so. However, it is NOT pink. ;)

2:47 am

trishtrash

mab... lol, you can get a green handbag by not filling the gender part of the profile.

2:48 am

Miss ABS

I've got five zs but have no idea on the other three. Probably words I've never heard of before.

2:48 am

trishtrash

gelid

2:48 am

Nah, that is not green. That is grey.

2:48 am

trishtrash

oh, bugger! SORRY!!!

2:48 am

sprite

And thanks :)

2:49 am

Miss ABS

Hey one of the words is an anagram of the word doing. The kids in my class love anagrams too and we had that one last week!

2:49 am

trishtrash

It looks green to me, Sprite... but I'm prepared to split the difference and call it...bah, you can't hybrid grey and green.

2:50 am

libarebel

I once used my handbag as a weapon (ok, shoulderbag) on he T in Boston

2:50 am

sprite

Hahahaha... ok, green it is then. A dark greyish green :)

2:51 am

libarebel

greyish green to black... not pink

2:51 am

trishtrash

*grin* greyish green it is. Not as fabulous as pink, but I'm not really a handbag kinda girl myself. I carry a black courier type bag if I can't fit everything I need in my pockets.

2:51 am

mab

it is sort of camouflage color. i thought you might be in the armed forces trish trash :D

2:52 am

Miss ABS

Nah Mab, I like the sound of Secret Agent TrishTrash better!

2:52 am

libarebel

great minds think alike... :)

Hi jean! Martini for you too?

2:54 am

Miss ABS

if anyone is wondering where it's after noon to have the proper time for a martini... it's 5:30PM here. Perfecting for alcohol-o'clock!

2:54 am

mab

there is a little game on gamesforthebrain.com which requires one to protect one's font from being italicized.

2:55 am

libarebel

shaken, not stirred for trish

2:55 am

jean1953

yes please shaken not stirred

2:55 am

LOLLLL, it is not even 10 am here. I'll save mine for later.

2:57 am

Miss ABS

Sprite what's the time difference between you and the UK? Is it past 8AM there yet?

2:57 am

sprite

I am never sure about the UK, whether they are with us on DST or not. It is almost 10 am here now.

2:58 am

trishtrash

almost 9am here

2:58 am

Miss ABS

ah okay, I'm just supposed to ring a mate of mine in Yorkshire after 8AM lol

2:58 am

sprite

You can go ahead then :)

2:58 am

ruthy

sorry everyone i should have asked for a clue for the 1st 5/14

2:59 am

Miss ABS

I might hop off here and do that really quick then trishtrash if it's that late in the day. Which part of the UK are you in?

2:59 am

mab

ruthy perhaps to gather together?

2:59 am

trishtrash

West Midlands, not (comparitively) that far ... but there's no significant time diff over the length of the UK ... 9am is pretty much 9am everywhere.

3:00 am

ruthy

1st am 5/14

3:00 am

Miss ABS

yeah, I was just curious. Anyway, I think I'll hop off and make that phone call. Will probably be back a bit later, but if not have a wonderful day/night/whenever you are! Cheers everyone! *clink*

3:00 am

Miss ABS

3:11 am

3:28 am

sprite

Latin plural, you are right.

3:29 am

Kateq

do you have the last am 5/12?

3:29 am

sprite

The alt. spelling of the foreign ruler one?

3:30 am

Kateq

I have the plural of the Eastern ruler

3:30 am

sprite

Wait, there is also the one that ends the same as not being able to sleep.

3:32 am

sprite

I found Z4/9 misspelled bad habits in biblical sense.

3:33 am

3:35 am

Kateq, do you have Am6/21 (Am + girl's name)? Leave out first letter of the name for the 5.

3:35 am

mab

italian friends is ok, but not 'amica' :C

3:36 am

sprite

mab: even weirder: female french friend is valid!

3:37 am

ExWren

253 is too, too much to handle. I don't think I will be joining you today. Have fun everyone, if you can call it fun!

3:37 am

sprite

I am having fun right now, ExWren :)

3:38 am

mab

yes, sprite, i noticed that too.

3:38 am

ExWren

fun is another word for obsession (?)

3:39 am

mab

by now, ExWren, i'm simply programmed to play the game - even if i know i'll hate myself later. I don't know how you do it sprite.

3:39 am

ExWren

love your icon mab

3:39 am

mab

thank you, and I, yours.

3:40 am

sprite

I don't play every day, but if I can, I play. And I love it :) No, I am not obsessed. Just getting a mild attack of paranoia if I do not play. That does NOT count.

3:40 am

mab

sounds very normal, sprite....

3:41 am

ExWren

I know what you mean sprite, I'm sitting here with fingers itching, and cannot bring myself to log out

3:41 am

mab

if only i could complete this at 10 times the rate you do sprite!

3:41 am

sprite

Down to 72 now, so the end is getting in sight. ExWren, I know! It is just such an A7/60 game you cannot resist.

3:42 am

mattygroves

I get frustrated when time, work and family prevent me from finishing. There's no chance I'll finish today's grid - but I'm not ratings obsessed, so it's not a biggie - just frutstrating!

3:44 am

Kateq

TY Sprite--but it is those two am's (5/12, 6/21) I'm missing
I'll come back to it later--I still have 100 other words to find LOL

3:44 am

chrissie2006

Ive got 74... I have all the A's

3:45 am

jean1953

got to go happy babbling everyone hopefully bbl to try for some more:)

3:45 am

mab

Well, ExWren, it's mostly small words today...

3:46 am

Haz1558

Good morning all.

3:47 am

mattygroves

Cripes - even the ac words are causing me problems.

3:47 am

mab

I have a whopping 130 words to go, but not using list yet. So much more fun without the list (for which I'm nevertheless grateful).

3:53 am

Onpaki

hi all! how big is the grid today?

3:58 am

mattygroves

Big - 253 words and 50 A words!

4:00 am

sprite

But there are two beautiful endings in this grid, good for lots and lots of common words.

4:09 am

sprite

Found the 2nd 8. Ca8/55.
Builds on Ca6/24, Ca + first part of the guy that always rings twice. The 6 has a plural as well. The 8 is past tense.

4:09 am

sprite

Did you all have problems with the site again or is it just me?

4:11 am

mattygroves

Dunno - had to fold laundry. Humph. Ac4/6 - surely there are only a few possibilites. Damned if I can find them. Columbo (which I am watching at the moment) would have better luck discovering the words.

4:11 am

Haz1558

mattygroves- think of either tennis or card games

4:12 am

mattygroves

Oh, duh. I was looking at the wrong C. I hadn't even noticed there were two.

4:13 am

mattygroves

aced

4:13 am

mattygroves

SORRY!!

4:13 am

sprite

That's it, matty ;)

4:16 am

sprite

Pfui, As done!

4:17 am

mab

nodded off briefly.. Thanks sprite for that unlikely 8! I sent message to the good doctor about problems with the site; he replied that he'd fixed it. So no, I've not had a problem yet today.

4:18 am

sprite

I got a different message now: "Word couldn't be added, try again after a few minutes" or something like that.

Oh, for anyone interested: that Ca-word is related to a medieval hood made of iron rings, designed to protect head and neck.

4:20 am

mab

oh, right, my mother used to wear one - bit old-fashioned now.

4:21 am

sprite

No way your mother is that old, lol.

4:21 am

mab

dear old mom and her chain mail wear.

4:21 am

sprite

There is another meaning, referring to a kind of hat church officials used to wear.

4:22 am

4:23 am

mattygroves

Hi maddison! How goes it today?

Not good. I have 7 words. but I like it.

4:27 am

sprite

maddison, you sound like an addict-to-be :)

4:28 am

sprite

I am getting strange images for the Mi6/30 - 7/44 compounds. What on earth can they be?

4:35 am

sprite

Looks like drG is right, we are all getting used to it very fast ;)

4:36 am

mab

I'm not usually.....I've been up all night..... Oh, darn, no excuse.

4:36 am

sprite

It's the site, not you, mab. I was joking.

4:37 am

mab

We'll never get used to it, I fear.

4:38 am

sprite

No, that's what I felt from the start. And new people will have to start all afresh with getting used to it. Which simply means the site isn't userfriendly.

4:41 am

sprite

Done!

4:41 am

mab

One does feel like such a dunce. As a matter of fact, I happen to be a dunce.

4:41 am

mab

Brava, spritely!!!!!!!!

4:41 am

sprite

No fireworks though, just like yesterday. I think I have been too much of a bother to be allowed fireworks anymore :)

4:42 am

mattygroves

Well done. I only have 200 to go... Still, there are some cute sparrows on my bird table.

4:42 am

mab

no fireworks!?

4:42 am

maddison

You are good sprite. I like you too.

4:42 am

sprite

Nope. Didn't get them yesterday either. Script doesn't work, I think.
:) It's all about fun, maddison. That's what I am addicted to here.

4:43 am

mab

Our sprite is amongst the very best and, I might add, the most beloved.

4:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Sprite - You checked out the Rankings page lately?

4:43 am

sprite

Nope, hardly ever do, lickety. Should I?

4:44 am

sprite

4:44 am

licketySplitAUS

Sprite - YOU are a legend of Babble!

4:46 am

sprite

Stop it, guys, you have me blushing allover. Babble isn't about rankings, but about fun, wordhunting, and my favorite part: team work! I am crazy about you guys.

4:46 am

mab

Zowie spritey, you've broken the record!

4:46 am

4:51 am

Kateq

Sprite, I have the am5/12--the last one--would you help with the am 6/21?

4:51 am

Raintree

ruthy's gooooood.

4:52 am

sprite

am + girl's name = Am6/21.

4:52 am

Kateq

ruthy and Sprite--Congrats!

4:52 am

mattygroves

Yep - I'm being grid blind today - not seeing letter that are on the grid!

4:52 am

Raintree

*the middle, of course. Dutch is getting in the way :)

4:57 am

Raintree

haha...

4:59 am

Kateq

I had that! It's the az 5/20! Perhaps I need more coffee...

5:02 am

sprite

Az5/20 is plural to the az4/9.

5:04 am

Kateq

TY!--Clearly, I do need more coffee--or something...

5:05 am

sprite

:)
There's isn't a single grid in history that I did NOT forget either a plural, a singular (worse) or a verb tense. Usually my last words are very humiliating to find ;)

5:06 am

Raintree

haha.hmm that makes me think.

5:06 am

sprite

I am off to shower, have a great day/night /whatever applies :)

5:06 am

Haz1558

As I look at this grid, I see a criminal lizard, except that neither word is there! And I dread to think what a criminal lizard would look like....

5:07 am

Raintree

5:07 am

Kateq

mattygroves

Ileana, we don't give words here, only hints (except sometimes by accident, by accidently typing words into this box). Scroll down and check out the log for more clues, and don't forget the links down the bottom (Friends of Babble)

5:10 am

mattygroves

Mab, what are you doing up now?! You're at LEAST five hours earlier than we are...

5:10 am

Raintree

bonkler

5:11 am

Haz1558

lleana - we don't give words away, just clues. To start you off an5/14 and an 6/27 (think of corners), an5/14 and an6/24 heavenly creature(s)

5:24 am

Raintree

5:24 am

Ileana

5:24 am

mattygroves

5:28 am

snowyowl

Ileana - has anyone directed you to Angelsongs page yet? If you go to the bottom of this page theres a site link that will take you there. You can find out all about the game and find a list that gives you the 1st 2 letters of all the words you need to find.

5:29 am

Raintree

look. giving you clues is already a favor. throwing a tantrum isn't particularly HAPPY to help you.

5:30 am

Raintree

angelsong's page is real good!

5:30 am

mab

ileana -- you can find words just by looking, I know you can. Just scan the grid for a bit, and if you get stuck, get the list of the first two letters of each word at babs anon or Angelsong's page (links below).

5:30 am

bonkler

also check out lickety's site, which i find very helpful when i go thick between the ears

5:30 am

Ileana

8:25 am

mattygroves

OK, the c's bite the dust - onward. Here's a question - do you guys play in order, or have a strategy, or just as you see words? I tend to start with whatever words I see, then work in order, but still adding other words as I see them...

8:26 am

GingerUK

hey Rolin, long time no see!

8:26 am

pabtrek

that's what i do, matty, along with keeping an eye out for clues in chat

hydra

I've just spotted mine lying on his back on the soaking wet grass, legs akimbo, because the fox has sprayed there and it's his favourite perfume!

9:50 am

cliffopa

9:51 am

cliffopa

i love cuddlers. brady is the 1st one i've had since my orange cat (sydney) passed away.

9:51 am

mizzbluekoolaid

he lays like a human head on the pillow lol

9:52 am

hydra

Aaaah! Felix, the one on my icon, was a feral, but is now as cuddly as anything. Except he won't let anyone pick him up. He has to approach you.

9:53 am

cliffopa

i wish mine would live longer. most of mine have come from homes where they were not taken care of. I usually don't get them until they are 10 or older and have multiple issues.

9:53 am

KittyVane

9:53 am

mizzbluekoolaid

mizzbluekoolaid

10:08 am

KittyVane

it's pretty impossible to take a photo of her when she's awake, unless I'm trying to take a picture of something else, and then she's all over the camera

10:10 am

cliffopa

if you refresh you can now see her

10:11 am

KittyVane

10:11 am

cliffopa

10:22 am

cliffopa

anyone have the de 7/36?

10:25 am

KittyVane

100 words found, too may left. I shall go have some cake and snuggle with the man now. Bye all!

10:26 am

hydra

I can't find any of the ce words. How dumb is that?

10:26 am

bendamalina

de 7/36 is to establish boundaries

10:26 am

bendamalina

de 7/36 is de

10:26 am

hetty

God morning all. Anyone have the second am5/14? I'm wondering whether I should have started on this monster--it'd hard work today

10:27 am

bendamalina

de 7/36 is de + the word for the farthest extent

10:27 am

hydra

It's the preceding word plus the 2nd vowel

10:27 am

hydra

(The am 5/14)

10:28 am

bendamalina

the second am 5/14 is a chemistry term. take the preceding am 4/6 and add a vowel at the end

10:30 am

bendamalina

I'm with you, hetty, not sure if i should have started this puzzle today. i've got 190 so far, and this is one bugger!

10:31 am

hydra

You're doing well, bendamalina. I've only got 121 and that's in two hours!

10:31 am

hetty

Thanks, bend, I have that one. It mustr be the other I*'m missing--I can never get them in the right order

10:31 am

bendamalina

I think i've probably been here for two hours, maybe

10:32 am

hydra

Then you're plain brilliant! Well done.

10:32 am

hetty

Thanks to you too ,hydra. If you have them all, please give me a clue to the other am5/14

10:33 am

hetty

I've been here two hours also, bend, and I have a measly 59 words. How do you do it?

10:33 am

bendamalina

the other am 5/14 is a plural of some latin...take the word for a friendly sort of chap (am**able) and remove the ending, then add a vowel

10:34 am

hydra

The other is ca plus plural mothers (British abbreviation)

10:34 am

bendamalina

i'm using lickety's list, hetty!

10:34 am

hetty

How do you do it, Hydra? our rates are so different

10:35 am

bendamalina

also...i monkeytype like you wouldn't believe

10:35 am

hydra

I don't think I've done well at all!

10:35 am

cliffopa

ty bend, hubby came in and distracted me for a bit.

10:35 am

hetty

bend, I thank you. Got it.

10:36 am

hydra

Mind you, I do work as a literary consultant and writer, but I still don't know a fraction of the Babble words.

10:36 am

bendamalina

yvw cliff and hetty

10:37 am

hetty

hydra, I've spent my life as a wordsmith. I swear some of the babble words appear nowhere but in enable.

10:37 am

bendamalina

holy crumbcakes! there are sooo many ma words today!

10:37 am

hydra

I agree. They are really obscure. I like your musical icon, hetty. Do you play an instrument?

10:38 am

hetty

even for a monkey typer, bend?

10:39 am

bendamalina

hah! yes, especially for a monkeytyper...i guess i'm a mathematical/alphabetical monkey typer...which works better when you know where at least some of the words belong

LeslieAnn

hi cathy

2:43 pm

hurshy

hmmm the other one is a pl with no singular, rhymes with a terrorist org that starts with h, boysaway.

2:43 pm

hurshy

and then double the last letter for the 6

2:43 pm

hurshy

woot, that's 16 to go!

2:44 pm

Boysaway

thanks hurshy, you've overtaken me, 17 to go

2:44 pm

LeslieAnn

with 93 left, i believe it's time to pull out the trusty list...

2:44 pm

hurshy

LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2:44 pm

Boysaway

all Ms and As!

2:44 pm

hurshy

oh mine are scattered about.

2:44 pm

cathy22w

i am stubborn with that list, too

2:45 pm

hurshy

work on the m's first boysaway ;)

2:46 pm

Boysaway

okay, first two mi words please - the 5 and 6?

2:46 pm

hurshy

i'll get right on it!

2:47 pm

LeslieAnn

lol, i don't have a lot of time to work on this today, maybe an hour or so more :)

2:47 pm

cathy22w

boysaway... don't tell me you are looking for MI5?

2:47 pm

bgood2animals

this is a real challenge - took me about 4 hours to track down 101 out of 253 - this can easily be a full-time job...typically how many hours should a "pro" finish a grid?

2:47 pm

cathy22w

or MI6, come to think of it?? lol

2:48 pm

chrissie2006

hey all, back for round two :)

2:48 pm

Boysaway

lol, mi5/14 and mi6/24 please

2:48 pm

cathy22w

bgood... depends how you define a 'pro'.. see... I consider myself a pro and I NEVER finish the grid!

2:48 pm

hurshy

bgood, it really depends on the grid. today's is really hard. there was 47 worder that took only 10 mins for me the other day.

2:49 pm

LeslieAnn

but hursh isn't even considered a pro babbler, i think she's at superstar babbler status

2:49 pm

bgood2animals

then I'd be worried what I should call myself - I consider myself a rookie and I NEVER finish typing each word...

2:49 pm

LeslieAnn

boys, the only mi 5/14 i have is the plural of a mi 4/6

2:50 pm

hurshy

leslieann, you shouldn't say things like that... you cover me with confusion

2:50 pm

Boysaway

got the mi5/14

2:50 pm

LeslieAnn

it usually takes me maybe two hours, and that's with the list

2:50 pm

amandacath

boys - like swamp gas, A thick vaporous atmosphere or emanation, leave off a letter

2:50 pm

bgood2animals

Hurshy - 47 in 10 minutes is outstanding - what is your salary? I'd have to hire you.

2:50 pm

hurshy

hire me for what? babble?

2:50 pm

bgood2animals

Naturally.

2:51 pm

cathy22w

ah yes.. the 47 worder... I did actually complete that... in 20 mins though, so nowhere near hurshy's time!

2:51 pm

hurshy

wow.... all this time i've been saying it would be great if people would pay us to babble... this is the first offer...

2:51 pm

Boysaway

thanks amandacath

2:51 pm

Erda

OK, I'll try: first name of former Mrs. Sinatra/Previn, plus abbreviation for sadomasochism -- then pluralize it

2:51 pm

bgood2animals

hahaha!

2:51 pm

LeslieAnn

oh man, i missed a 47-worder? i really should check in every day even if i don't think i'll do them

2:51 pm

hurshy

however, i cannot tell a lie, if you want to hire someone, you should hire sprite.

2:52 pm

hurshy

i've never seen that mi without an a at the end. weird.

2:52 pm

LeslieAnn

oh, thanks erda

2:52 pm

Erda

you have NOW, hurshy

2:52 pm

hurshy

ack! the dreaded 14!

2:52 pm

amandacath

2:53 pm

hurshy

well yes erda, i have. i got it from amanda's clue :)

2:53 pm

hurshy

at first amanda i was like, methane?

2:53 pm

cathy22w

ok.. any clues for the ca8? i think it's ca - I got the ci8

2:53 pm

LeslieAnn

it ends with an ma 6/24, cathy

2:53 pm

hurshy

it's past tense of a ca6, ca + post (as in letters)

2:54 pm

amandacath

2:54 pm

hurshy

3:04 pm

LeslieAnn

i'll take your word on that

3:04 pm

hurshy

many of our students have leipophonophobia

3:04 pm

LeslieAnn

right, fear of the haiwaiian language

3:05 pm

hurshy

no silly. :) "leipo" is greek for lack. they fear lacking a phone.

3:05 pm

hurshy

cause we take away their cell phones during study hall.

3:06 pm

inge

but what does the qu word mean? I see four and ten in the word....

3:06 pm

hurshy

they freak out over it so much i had to make up a word for it.

3:07 pm

LeslieAnn

i think it's fear of the number 14

3:07 pm

hurshy

well i made that up too because triskedekaphobia is fear of 13.

3:07 pm

Boysaway
