12:18 am

72 Temple Owl

12:36 am

chj

hey..im in the grid

12:36 am

LeslieAnn

that's ok melon :)

12:36 am

helenkeller

i'm telling you - go to iwin.com & play the tangleword game - once you get the hang of it, you can put in as many words as you can type or mouse - comes in really handy on the large grids when you just want to get alot out of the way - oh & also you can be amazed at the people there who are way, way, way faster than me - i am nowhere near the top scorers :)

12:36 am

Kahlua

Glad you had a good day, I'm jelous

12:37 am

RocDragon

i used to be good at tangleword

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

12:39 am

MayneGuy

Night Kahlua - talk to you tomorrow.

12:39 am

helenkeller

i have no patience for the 6- i love the 30 sec- but that's just like slot machines - all your points are gone before you know what hit you, if there are good players in the room & that's usually what you find there

12:39 am

LeslieAnn

didn't have that one thanks nan! good night!

12:39 am

Erda

A few months ago, they had a one-week crash. Something went wrong, they never gave us the promised re-design and everybody was sent back to where they were two years earlier. Ratings-wise, that is.

Hey - how's the grid today - short one I see

2:10 am

jillibus

Sleep tight, Munner

2:10 am

FMitch

Short and sweet matty

2:16 am

greenery

odd grid behavior: I enter a word, it tells me I've already entered it. But I haven't. This has happened with four words in the last five minutes, but not with every word. Known bug? Any solution?

2:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning. This makes a change from the past few days!

2:17 am

greenery

never mind, I just realized my husband was sneaking in clues.

2:17 am

mattygroves

Have you got a babble fairy? My husband smetimes plays on my account - I'm at work, he's at home, and I have to refresh to pick up his words.

2:17 am

mattygroves

Snap.

2:18 am

greenery

men.

2:18 am

Haz1558

That would be grounds for divorce in my house.

2:18 am

FMitch

Morning Haz

2:19 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - I take it you are playing? How is it?

2:19 am

FMitch

I've played and done not too many sticky words

2:20 am

mattygroves

It's the vowel words that always get me.

2:20 am

Haz1558

Oh, well that's encouraging to hear.

2:23 am

mattygroves

What could those Ls be on the bottom right??

2:26 am

1j2u3d4y

I haven't the foggiest idea...good morning mattygroves

2:27 am

1j2u3d4y

2:27 am

mattygroves

Morning 123¬

2:27 am

FMitch

I clued one of them at 2.05 :)

2:28 am

Haz1558

I've only got an unauthorised hanging and I presume the other one uses the sometimes vowel as well.

2:28 am

1j2u3d4y

Thanks - got it now

2:28 am

FMitch

yes it does Haz

2:28 am

1j2u3d4y

lyar

2:28 am

mattygroves

It's have to really, Haz. I have the hangin'

2:29 am

FMitch

LOL thats very close judy, make it 5 letters

2:29 am

Frances

Morning all
The other L sounds like telling porkies about a picture!

2:29 am

Haz1558

Got it, thanks all.

2:30 am

mattygroves

Huh? Fibs aboout a photo?

2:30 am

mattygroves

Got it - lol!

2:30 am

Frances

Thinking more of a painting

2:32 am

Haz1558

As in not having the foggiest notion what the picture is, but making encouraging noises to sound intelligent.

2:32 am

mattygroves

A funny astory about the as6/21. (OK, maybe not THAT funny) - when my daughter was 3, she said something in the car, and we said she's very as6/21. She piped up "No flies come off me!"

2:33 am

Haz1558

Clever child!

2:36 am

aleksia.

Can someone please help me with the L workds at the botton?

2:37 am

mattygroves

So what's the last six - I have that one, the female bow, the rubbish, the honesty and the lack of sex...

2:37 am

Haz1558

aleksia, one in ly5/18 - it means an unauthorised hanging and rhymes with a unit of imperial measurement (12 of them in a foot)

2:37 am

Haz1558

The other one is ly5/14 - add a word used for creative drawing, sculpture, painting etc

2:38 am

aleksia.

sorry dont no

2:38 am

FMitch

ch6/33 add to the ch5/16

2:40 am

Haz1558

2:41 am

Haz1558

Flask1

MVA

Flask1

Where in Canada are you Jilli?

2:55 am

Flask1

Hi Haz!

2:56 am

jillibus

Hi Haz - it's hard to stay away, right? And what shall I do tomorrow? Catch up on Stid's story, I think, and visit here a bit, and see Cybernan's photos, and get some gas (petrol) for the car which is almost empty...and so on

2:57 am

jillibus

Flask, I'm in British Columbia, west coast

2:57 am

Haz1558

It sounds as though you can fill your days with no difficulty, jillibus. And Good morning Flask.

2:57 am

Haz1558

Cybernan's photos are lovely.

girlfriday

okay, got cu 5/18....just need le 5/14, pe 5/16 and ru 5/16...thanks for any clues

3:47 am

hydra

ru5/16 is adjective from previous word. How stags might feel in autumn.

3:48 am

FMitch

apply the same principle for the pe5/16

3:48 am

hydra

pe5/16 - think minor misdemeanours. ----- crimes.

3:49 am

girlfriday

thans hydra and Fmitch...down to one and then I can go to sleep...le 5/14 cannot find it.

3:50 am

FMitch

4:33 am

FMitch

Morning sherb
It is a good grid today, are you settling into you holiday routine?

4:35 am

sherb

morning FMitch :) ...holiday routine seems to consist of doing as little as possible... bliss...

4:35 am

FMitch

sounds perfect sherb, enjoy it and the lovely weather today too.

4:37 am

sherb

the weather makes me wish I had a garden to sit outside in... been daydreaming that my neighbours in the garden flat might move...

4:40 am

FMitch

A nice dream if you enjoy pootling about in a garden. When I had houses with gardens I never had time to enjoy them, now I have the time and no garden!

4:43 am

sherb

it would have to be low maintenance for me... I'm no gardener...

4:46 am

FMitch

lol

4:50 am

KittyVane

With 17 words left, it's time for me to go off to work.
Later everybody! :)

4:51 am

sherb

4:51 am

FMitch

Hi and Bye Kitty

4:54 am

Frances

My phantom word today - lettuce. And on that thought I'm off to cricket. Back later for my last 20

4:55 am

bye Frances :)

4:55 am

Frances

Bye sherb. Back tonight

5:04 am

FranMag

hi everybody!

5:04 am

pam

Morning...

5:04 am

FranMag

hi pam!

5:05 am

sherb

hi FranMag and pam :)

5:05 am

FranMag

hi sherb!

5:06 am

pam

This is not a "fun" grtid: it's work, lol--been on for almost 20 minutes and don't have a great deal to show for it, oh well...

5:06 am

sherb

it's very short on vowels...

5:07 am

Jacula

Morning everyone.

5:07 am

FranMag

hi jac!

5:07 am

sherb

morning Jacula :)

5:11 am

Haz1558

Can't resist piping in to say good morning. I should be down town shopping already, but I can spare a minute to say hello!

5:12 am

FranMag

hi haz!

5:12 am

pam

Hi, haz!

5:12 am

pam

And, bye all! Time to go. See you tonight

5:12 am

Haz1558

It's not the most welcoming grid in the world, but the chat log's nice!

5:12 am

FranMag

bye pam!

5:13 am

sherb

morning Haz :) ...these little ones are fun...

bye pam :)

5:14 am

Jacula

brb - phone

5:14 am

Haz1558

I happened to be on the chat log late last night (well, up to midnight our time). It moves really fast! I was quite dizzy by the end of it.

5:14 am

sherb

purchase would be a good word...

5:15 am

FranMag

lol haz! i can barely keep up when it's like that either!

5:16 am

sherb

then it suddenly quietens down, like everyone's exhausted...

5:16 am

Haz1558

It reminded me of the old style stock exchange!

5:17 am

sherb

open outcry!

5:17 am

Jacula

I'm back. Hi Haz. Yes, the chatlog does fairly zip along at night.

5:17 am

Haz1558

Have any of you played 'Pit'? It's great fun, but not to be played for hours at a time.

5:17 am

Jacula

What's 'Pit', Haz?

5:18 am

philod14

Haz... link??

5:19 am

Haz1558

It's a card game, based on the idea of swapping cards to get the hand you want. You try to exchange them with the other players, but you have to shout out what you are looking for. I'll see if I can find a link.

5:20 am

Haz1558

www.gamesmuseum.uwaterloo.ca/VirtualEx
hibits/CardGames/Pit/index.html - 8k - It was made by Waddington

5:22 am

Haz1558

I think in the US it was called Bulls and Bears. (I've managed to stop the conversation stone dead, haven't I?)

5:23 am

Jacula

Sorry Haz - I was typing the missing bits of link in. Only got 404 error messages for it so far...

5:24 am

sherb

I'm just stuck on the C's...

5:24 am

Haz1558

Sorry - I googled waddington pit and that was one of the links.

5:24 am

Jacula

Got it. Stop the link after Pit/ and it works.

5:25 am

FranMag

haz, looks like fun

5:25 am

Jacula

I've bookmarked it to check out later. Thanks, Haz.

5:25 am

FranMag

sherb, i've got all of them if you'd like a clue.

5:26 am

Haz1558

It is - I used to play it with my cousins and it got extremely noisy. It was even worse when the grown-ups joined in!

5:26 am

FranMag

what ages is it meant for?

5:26 am

Jacula

We used to play lots of card and board games, and have singsongs. People don't seem to do that so much these days.

5:27 am

Haz1558

I think it's probably described as a family game. Very young children probably wouldn't be able to understand it but from 10 upwards would be okay.

5:27 am

sherb

thanks Fran... just trying to see how many I can get on my own... I only do that with these small grids... otherwise I take any help I can get!! :)

5:28 am

FranMag

totally understand sherb.

5:29 am

Haz1558

I've been banned from playing some games with my family - they say I'm too competitive. Just because I try to win......

5:30 am

Haz1558

This isn't getting my shopping done, so I must go. Have a good day and see you later.

5:31 am

FranMag

later haz!

5:31 am

sherb

later Haz... I'l probably still be here looking for my last 16 words... :)

5:31 am

Jacula

Haz - You'd love the board game 'Spinergy'. (Spinergy gives everyone a chance to be a writer, actor, singer, poet, date magnet and stand-up comic. Given three random words, describe how your life was saved by a platoon of Marines...compose a shocking tabloid headline...deliver the ultimate pickup line... create the next blockbuster movie! Haiku, riddles, jokes, tongues twisters, songs, foreign accents, and much, much more! It's different every time you play!) I just have trouble getting people to play it with me.

5:31 am

Jacula

'Bye Haz. (Hope you saw my last post.)

5:32 am

Jacula

Sherb - I've still got 27 to find.

5:32 am

FranMag

i have 3 left.

5:34 am

sherb

sounds good Jac... my sister and my nieces love games like that... did you buy it in the UK?

5:35 am

Jacula

Yes, Sherb. Got it from Toys'R'Us.

5:35 am

Jacula

It's made by GNU Games.

5:36 am

FranMag

jac, sounds like something my college friends and i would have liked.

5:36 am

FranMag

unfortunately, i don't live near them anymore, no one to play games with.

5:37 am

Jacula

I've just checked and it's available on Amazon.co.uk for £29.99.

5:38 am

sherb

thanks Jac... just the excuse I need to put in an Amazon order... :)

5:38 am

Jacula

LOL, Sherb.

5:39 am

Jacula

(((HUGS)) FranMag. *thinking* I wonder if it's possible to adapt this game to play in BabAnon or somewhere?

5:41 am

FranMag

with all the literary types in babble that would sure be interesting!

5:42 am

FranMag

how about if you start a thread with the three random words, then give everyone a time limit to post their scenario? it would be hard to determine a winner, but it would just be for fun.

5:42 am

Jacula

Yes, it would! I'll have to have another look at the game and see if I can adapt it. Which reminds me... I never put my crossword story game on BabAnon. *Adds to list of things to do after typing up her Crete travelog.*

5:43 am

Jacula

Sounds feasible, FranMag.

5:43 am

FranMag

you'd have to give everyone several hours because of all the time zone differences, but it might be fun to see what people come up with.

5:44 am

FranMag

you'd probably have to pick the "personality" yourself.

5:44 am

philod14

cu6/30 please?

5:44 am

Jacula

Yes, I think it would. Same with the 'Crossword Story' game. I invented it for another forum and we had a wonderful variety of stories, and laughs.

5:44 am

FranMag

philod, what you have to do in front of the queen (if you're female)

5:45 am

Jacula

philod - gather up your skirts and dip your knee.

5:46 am

FranMag

your first post could be an explanation of the game, a list of rules and the time that the 3 random words and personality would be posted.

5:46 am

philod14

thanks Fran and JAc..

5:47 am

FranMag

yw philod!

5:47 am

Jacula

FranMag - You're going to be buying the board game, I just know it!:))

5:48 am

Jacula

y/w, philod.

5:48 am

FranMag

of course with this group, a limit on the number of words is in order also.

5:49 am

FranMag

it does sound like fun jac! i seriously don't have anyone to play it with though!

5:49 am

Jacula

FranMag - there is a limit in the game anyway (on the words).

5:49 am

FranMag

perfect.

5:49 am

Jacula

FranMag - I meant so you can do it on BabAnon. LOL.

5:50 am

Jacula

I'll have to send you a copy of the game stuff.

5:51 am

FranMag

jac, if i did it i think my husband would have a fit! he thinks i'm on this thing too much already.

5:51 am

Jacula

I won't have chance to deal with it today as I have hutches to muck out and my travelog to start typing. The travelog's not finished yet but I need to type up what's done so far, the easier to see what still needs doing. I shall also (unusually) be watching a couple of programmes on TV tonight - 'Sorted' and 'Grumpy Old Holidays'.

5:52 am

Jacula

FranMag - my Other Half thinks the same as yours!

5:52 am

philod14

et5/16 please?

5:52 am

FranMag

well you know men, they want all the attention!

5:53 am

Jacula

Fran - Yup!

5:53 am

Jacula

philod - don't have it yet. Sorry.

5:53 am

FranMag

philod, a type of alcohol, sounds like a woman's name

5:53 am

Eva

good morning everyone

5:53 am

FranMag

hi eva!

5:54 am

Jacula

Hi Eva & Merp.

5:54 am

sherb

morning Eva :)

5:54 am

Jacula

Got the et5 now. Thanks FranMag.

5:55 am

FranMag

yw jac.

5:55 am

Eva

phantom word for the day-lettuce

5:56 am

Jacula

LOL Eva. I have a phantom phrase. First thing I saw when I got the grid up was, 'Let me buy stuff'.

5:56 am

philod14

phantom word.. thrasher..

5:57 am

philod14

still stumped on the et5..

5:57 am

Eva

are you one of those "when the going gets tough the tough go shopping" people, Jac?

5:57 am

Jacula

Just realised I used a word in my 5:51 list of what I'm going to do today.:)

5:57 am

Jacula

Eva - No. I just saw it there. (Must have been thinking of my daughter!) LOL

5:58 am

FranMag

oh yes, you did! *looking for wet noodle*

5:58 am

Jacula

philod - for the et5 - How's your knowledge of old UK kings? There was one called Et****** The Unready.

5:59 am

Eva

newly coined word-lepur-a lemur with a skin condition

5:59 am

Jacula

Oh no, FranMag! Not the dreaded Pot Noodle! Nooooooo!

5:59 am

Jacula

Eva - LOL.

5:59 am

philod14

im irish so not great..

6:00 am

Jacula

Philod - How about the old singer then - Et*** Merman?

6:00 am

FranMag

i like that eva! i tried the word earlier too!

6:00 am

Eva

phil-lucy's neighbor on the Lucy show, but change the second vowel

6:00 am

Jacula

The spelling is slightly different but you will get the et word from it.

6:01 am

Eva

letsy

6:01 am

Eva

oops

6:01 am

FranMag

eva and jac, i couldn't think of a single et*** except my mom's friend when i was growing up! i doubt philod knew her though.

6:01 am

Jacula

Merp! Stop typing in Eva's message box.

6:01 am

Eva

as you can see I'm tracking the elusive second top l....

6:01 am

Eva

lol

6:01 am

Jacula

Fran - I doubt he knew my ex's Gran either.

6:02 am

Eva

one of those names which has gone out of fashion

6:02 am

Jacula

Eva - 2nd top 'l' - a compound word. It's rained all day with no le***.

6:03 am

Eva

thanks! Never would have thought that was a proper word.

6:03 am

Jacula

Ev - me neither.

6:03 am

Hello Jac - FM - Eva - Cliff. - Philod (and anyone else I can't see)

6:10 am

cliffopa

yes indeed franmag - this is what i consider 'perfect' weather. i'm hoping it lasts for a while.

6:11 am

FranMag

how dumb is it that i had the last st5/12 which i've never heard before, but needed a clue for the first one?

6:11 am

FMitch

Thats babble for you Fran :)

6:11 am

Jacula

Because, FranMag, Babble accustoms us to looking for weird words, not easy ones.

6:12 am

FranMag

i guess so!

6:12 am

Jacula

If the word 'simple' was in the grid, it'd be the last one most of us found! LOL.

6:12 am

FranMag

lol, probably true jac!

6:13 am

FranMag

there are at least two babblers in the grid today.

6:14 am

Jacula

Yep - Hetty and ??

6:14 am

FranMag

ru4/6y, our welsh friend.

6:14 am

Jacula

Ah, yes, RU.

6:15 am

FranMag

and sha also.

6:15 am

Jacula

Hursh is nearly there.

6:15 am

Jencatd

Hi everyone. :) Yay, small grid tonight.

6:16 am

FranMag

fmitch is a scattered phantom.

6:16 am

FranMag

hi jencatd!

6:16 am

Jacula

Lol, Fran, yes.

6:16 am

Jacula

Hi Jen. It may be small but it can stand up for itself!:)

6:16 am

FMitch

Ah story of my life Fran :)

6:17 am

Jencatd

I see that. ^^ Looks a little more finishable than yesterdays.

6:17 am

FranMag

jen, a small, but feisty grid!

6:17 am

FranMag

lol fmitch!

6:18 am

Jacula

6:18 am

FranMag

gooo jac!

6:18 am

sherb

*emerges from amazon* ...amazing what you can find... Haz's Pit game is there for £4.75... and also a 15 puzzle, where you have the numbers 1-15 in a 4x4 grid and you have to get them in the right order... somebody stop me before I order anything else!!

6:19 am

FranMag

does anyone want a clue? i may actually get to sleep before 2 am today!

6:19 am

FranMag

stop sherb!!

6:19 am

sandr

6:19 am

FranMag

6:20 am

Jacula

Hi sandr.

6:20 am

FMitch

hserb - step away from the credit card!!!

6:20 am

sherb

I'm telling myself I'm doing my Christmas shopping early...

6:20 am

Jacula

LOL, FMitch.

6:20 am

sandr

lol - im just looking - i thought i was being funny!

6:21 am

sandr

all who know me know i need he4/6!

6:21 am

FranMag

fmitch, she's probably got it memorized like i did at the height of my addiction to amazon!

6:21 am

Jacula

LOL, sandr.

6:21 am

FranMag

cute sandr!! :-)

6:21 am

Jacula

Could have been worse, FranMag; could have been an ebay addiction.

6:22 am

FranMag

no kidding, i almost got sucked in to that too!

6:23 am

Jacula

Oh dear! Seriously, FranMag? I guess it's far too easy to click away on the Internet, forgetting you really DO have to pay for the things you order.

6:23 am

philod14

st5/14 please?

6:24 am

Jencatd

you don't need to memorise the number for amazon, amazon stores it.

6:24 am

FranMag

philod, it rhymes with the step up to your front porch.

6:24 am

GraceM

Jacula

*'the st4/5 up to your front porch? Scratches head.*

6:27 am

cliffopa

i'm having trouble finding the 't' that comes off the bottom left hand corner. any hints?

6:28 am

FranMag

jac, or what you have to do to get into lower cupboards.

6:28 am

Jacula

Got it. Thanks again, FranMag.

6:28 am

FranMag

cliffopa, drive-th** at mcdonald's

6:28 am

sandr

tell the t**** and shame the devil cliffopa

6:28 am

FranMag

yw jac!

6:29 am

FranMag

sandr, that's the middle T.

6:29 am

cliffopa

well franmag - that was a bit too obvious! how the heck did i not see that?

6:29 am

FMitch

The t in the bottom corner is a th4/6 and is a short form of a word - use the tile count to help you

6:30 am

FranMag

cliff, you probably looked past the H trying to make a TR word like i was doing at first.

6:31 am

cliffopa

that is exactly what i was doing.

6:31 am

Jacula

It's the bottom r/h 't' that's giving me trouble. I've got the 'rubbishy' words (2) and the 'thing you carry stuff on (2). The final 2 are eluding me.

6:31 am

Jacula

Sorry - final 1.

6:31 am

FranMag

jac, it's a ty word, what you give the church.

6:32 am

FranMag

alt spelling of a ti word that comes up a lot.

6:32 am

Jacula

Got it! Why didn't I see that? Thanks yet again, FranMag. I was too busy wondering why 'lych' as in church lych gate isn't allowed.

6:33 am

FranMag

i tried to put in lythe a couple of times, doesn't it look like it should be a word?

6:34 am

philod14

ty5?? dont get the want you give in church clue..

6:34 am

Jacula

There is an 'ly' word that works - surname of Coronation St's barmaid 'Bet', jazzman Kenny or 'hang'.

6:35 am

FranMag

philod, it's a custom of giving 10% of your earnings to your church, usually spelled with ti, ty5/16.

6:36 am

Jacula

Actually, Kenny was better known for his comedy.

6:36 am

FranMag

don't know what the ly5/14 means though

6:38 am

FranMag

okay, going to bed now! i'll see all you lovely people later or tomorrow!!

6:38 am

6:39 am

Jacula

ly5/14 is an archaic word for a horse with dappled white & grey spots.

6:39 am

Jacula

'Night FranMag. Sleep well.

6:39 am

FranMag

6:42 am

Bugzy

Hi Une and LOL Krista !!
Really going now....

11:27 am

Krista

Thanks, Feather. I couldn't decide between Cary Elwes and the priest character.."Mawaige, twue wove..." Cary won out.:)~

11:28 am

featherbee

lol, i almost did the priest!

11:28 am

Krista

So many great characters to choose from.

11:28 am

Krista

Feather, will you still be able to Babble when school starts?

11:29 am

featherbee

11:29 am

featherbee

i'm watching the movie right now..."do you want me to send you back to where you were??? unemployed? in greenland???"

11:30 am

featherbee

fezzik, are there rocks ahead?

11:31 am

Krista

All the teachers I know have such busy evenings, too. I really enjoyed the special features on the dvd.

11:31 am

featherbee

This film is number 50 on Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies. It is consistently placed in the Internet Movie Database's Top 250 list of films, with over 65,000 votes.

11:33 am

Krista

It's one of those movies that appeals to everyone. My husband watched it for the first time when he bought me the dvd for xmas..the title always put him off, but he loved it.

11:33 am

smithchick

Okay, I was going to quietly lurk and find my one last word and I looked at your Bugzy icon. ROFL!

11:33 am

smithchick

Now I've got to go find one.

11:33 am

featherbee

lol, isn't it great?

11:34 am

Krista

Isn't that a great one, smithchick? I think Bugzy went to lunch.

11:34 am

featherbee

"see???? the cliffs of insanity!!!"
"hurry up...move the thing.....and....that other thing! move it!"

11:35 am

featherbee

while searching for my icon, i ran across some cute fansites. there was a list of goofs in one, and it said if you run the rolling down the hillside scene slowly, buttercup has a beard.

11:35 am

Krista

Swordfight coming up soon, then!

11:36 am

featherbee

yep! i was in colorguard, my friend and i twirled sabers, and often tried to reenact it

11:36 am

Krista

Oh, I love reading those kind of things. May I have a link if you remember it? Buttercup with a beard? Bad stuntman placement, I'd say. That's great.

11:37 am

featherbee

never saw a pic of it, just ran across it mentioned in a goofs listing

11:37 am

featherbee

try to google princess bride goofs

11:37 am

featherbee

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princ
ess_Bride_%28film%29 look down at the bottom under trivia, i'm reading that right now

11:38 am

smithchick

Okay...Here's my icon for my one last word

11:38 am

featherbee

nice choice smith!

11:38 am

smithchick

It was inconceivable that I use anything else!

11:39 am

featherbee

lol

11:39 am

Krista

ok, feather..sorry, kid I work with was waffling on about concert tickets...

11:39 am

featherbee

# Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin learned to fence (both left- and right-handed) for the film, reportedly spending all their free time during the production practicing with an instructor and with each other. Elwes and Patinkin performed all of the fencing in the swordfight scene; the only stunt doubles were for the two somersaults.

11:39 am

smithchick

And now I have my fireworks! Any my dirty house is calling. Rather loudly. Dang house. Bye!

11:39 am

featherbee

congrats smith and bye!

11:40 am

stidmatt

WTG SC!

11:40 am

smithchick

Hey matt! How are ya? Long time no see.

11:40 am

Krista

I am always amazed at swordfight scenes..has to be so hard..Hey Matt, we were just talking about the priest - good one.

11:40 am

featherbee

André the Giant had trouble with both the speed and clarity of his lines, prompting Mandy Patinkin to actually slap him in the face to get him to concentrate harder. It worked.

11:41 am

featherbee

these are all from wikipedia's article on the film

11:42 am

featherbee

ok, watching the sword fight now

11:43 am

blonde_mama

can I get a clue for the cu 4,9 and cu4,6 the first one?

11:43 am

walnutchen

cu 4/6 is what you eat at the movies with a different vowel

11:44 am

Krista

was just reading it..musical version being made..it's a wonder that hasn't already been done...watched a documentary about Andre once..interesting life.

11:44 am

walnutchen

cu 4/9 is the time you make you kids come home minus the last two letters

11:44 am

featherbee

i was very sad when i heard he died

11:44 am

blonde_mama

ok thanks

11:45 am

Krista

Oh, I know. Everyone said he was such a sweet man.

11:45 am

featherbee

*sigh* what a smirk on the man in black! mmmm-mmmm

11:46 am

featherbee

awwww
"In the documentary As You Wish, Robin Wright-Penn recalled that when the weather was cold, André the Giant covered her head with his huge hand to keep her warm."

11:48 am

Krista

Elwes is on Ella Enchanted (movie my daughter watches a lot) as her evil uncle. He still looks good, but not as good as then...

11:49 am

Krista

Are you done the grid?

11:49 am

featherbee

yep

11:50 am

Krista

I have 36 left. Haven't worked on it too much yet. Doesn't seem bad for a short puzzle. The short ones always seem harder.

11:50 am

Lara226

Done.. I like grids that are this size...

11:50 am

helenkeller

11:51 am

torgone

Hi/bye hk ..

11:54 am

helenkeller

feather - was reading back in the log - i wondered about that sword fight, cause it didn't look like doubles - unless they were very, very exact doubles - how fascinating they learned all that swordplay!

11:54 am

featherbee

your first time was last night? how'd you like it helen?

11:55 am

helenkeller

hi tor - bye tor

11:55 am

Krista

Hey torgone - I miss your "shotgun shack" profile. ;)

11:55 am

helenkeller

well, i think i missed some undefinable thing by not seeing it at the time of release - kind of like not seeing star wars when it first came out on the big screen

11:55 am

Krista

I think that was yours...

11:56 am

helenkeller

but overall - it didn't bore me - parts were very funny - i really liked seeing all these actors in their youth

11:56 am

featherbee

hehe...i've seen it so many times that i know the script by heart...or used to. still know huge chunks of it

11:57 am

helenkeller

my neighbor quotes movies, now i know where that montoya thing comes from, lol

11:57 am

Krista

My friend was making fun of me at the beach because I can talk along with Dirty Dancing. Kind of embarrassing!

11:57 am

11:57 am

featherbee

12:28 pm

tndaisy1960

st 5/14 pls?

12:28 pm

featherbee

hehe, lots of good trivia here!

The giant rodents were created with diminutive actors inside rat suits. On the day Westly was supposed to battle the giant rat, the "rat actor" was pulled over for speeding and subsequently arrested, and actually had to be bailed out of jail by the filmmakers so the scene could be filmed.

12:28 pm

Krista

I can remember seeing Rob Reiner on The Tonight Show when the movie came out, describing the beautiful locations. His promo is what made me go see it.

12:29 pm

featherbee

st5/14, like dummy, just not "id" on the end

12:29 pm

Jeeves and Wooster - there are four seasons on video, approx. 20 hours, but each season is available separately. The catalogue is Video Collectables, P.O.Box 420, Stn A, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 4Y6, Canada. It's all British classics - yummy!
