1:53 am

OldRottenHat

AngelSong says: Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun.

1:53 am

Atalante

3:33 am

Dippnall

hi snowy - lovely day here! my best wishes to all getting results, too!

3:34 am

Ray100

not in Cardiff Snowy!

3:38 am

snowyowl

well - I don't want to say to much -but the sun has just come out here too! Lots of cloud still around but definately sun - so there's hope yet! LOL Wales had its summer while I was in Majorca.

3:38 am

PappouTed

hi everyone

3:39 am

snowyowl

Hi Pappou Ted -& how rude of me -Hi Ray & Dippnall

3:40 am

PappouTed

82 degrees here, probably muggy too

3:41 am

snowyowl

The humidity I can do without. I like dry heat - but only if I'm near the swimmimg pool or the sea!

3:42 am

PappouTed

and the tropics are starting to heat up which means hurricane season is about to get busy

3:43 am

snowyowl

Well we don't get anything that extreme Pappou Ted & I don't envy you such desrtuctive weather. Must be terrifying. My husband would hate it -He's 69 & he still hates the wind!

3:45 am

PappouTed

it can get scary and before my dad passed away we had to worry about where to take him for dialysis in case we couldn't get him to his center. This summer we're prepared with a generator and we have all our window boards cut and ready. Hopefully, we won't have to use any of them

3:47 am

PappouTed

is anyone finding words for the bottom m? I can only find one

3:49 am

snowyowl

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! BTW my husband is 59! LOL He wouldn't like the 10 years I gave him that fast! Must go as he's calling & I must do something more useful than play Babble all daytoday!( which is pretty much what I did yesterday)

3:49 am

PappouTed

bye snowy

3:51 am

Andree

Hi everyone, PT for the bottom look at the x

evanonut

3:55 am

Andree

3:56 am

PappouTed

I wouldn't be going out to check, evanout

3:57 am

evanonut

no, i didn't think i would

3:57 am

evanonut

my second guess was a buck sharpening his rack.

3:57 am

PappouTed

evanout, I woke up one morning and went to get my paper. When I went to open my door, there was a snake trying to get in.

4:00 am

evanonut

oh pappou, i had a dream lastnight i was being chased by an evil python

4:00 am

PappouTed

yikes, evanout

4:01 am

evanonut

me thinks it was the drugs

4:01 am

Andree

years ago when we lived in Malaysia we had a snake in the house and it bit my dog

4:01 am

PappouTed

was it poisonous?

4:01 am

evanonut

you lived in malaysia?

4:02 am

Andree

in 1986/7

4:02 am

Andree

stil miss the maid

4:02 am

evanonut

oh, when i was like 9

4:03 am

evanonut

my words aren't entering very quickly

4:08 am

Andree

my youngest child was older than 9 eva lol

4:14 am

Andree

sorry PT I just saw your post, yes a cobra, dog must have moved fast as most of the venom burned his skin and he lived to tell the tale, he was never well after

4:23 am

jean1953

Hi Pappou. Is Tampa Bay where you live?

4:43 am

PappouTed

yes, hydra, on the gulf side, beach is within walking distance

4:44 am

PappouTed

but don't ask when the last time was that I walked out there

4:44 am

hydra

About 20 years ago I bought half an acre of land on the gulf coast as an invemstment. It was in Holley by the Sea. I sold it last year at a huge loss. Never again!

4:45 am

PappouTed

I don't know where that is. In my town, prices are outrageous.

4:45 am

hydra

I bet it's lovely there. I'd love to live near a beach instead of near Heathrow.

4:46 am

PappouTed

it is pretty, but too hot right now

4:47 am

Following our heatwave, it's rained ever since, with the odd snatch of blue sky between monsoons.

Andyd123

THIS IS BLOODY HARD

7:34 am

Girl Next Door

Hello all. I was just wondering if someone could explain how you know which words contain a certain number of letters, and what they start with before you even know the word? E.g. "se9" I am guessing that means it starts with se and is the 9 letter word. How do you know that? LOL Enlighten me please.

7:35 am

amandacath

are there any REAL words in there?

7:35 am

JFB

There's the odd one or two amandacath but they are well hidden.

7:36 am

Anniebrook

girl, se 9.72 the 9 is the number of letters in the word and the 72 is the total point value of the word as per the number on the tile

7:36 am

Andyd123

SEMIDASH!!!

7:36 am

Anniebrook

hi, amanda

7:36 am

amandacath

hi annie! that would be a hyphen, right Andy?

7:37 am

JFB

That should definately be a word Andy or at least a comment on the grid!

7:37 am

SueMagee

Hi Girl Next Door! Look at the links at the bottom left-hand side and click on Lickerty's Babble Clues and all will be revealed.

7:37 am

Andyd123

ER, YEAH!!!

7:37 am

amandacath

GND - take a look at Angelsong's Babble page (link under friends of babble) - that should explain things

7:38 am

Girl Next Door

Annie, but how do you know that? I mean, I see numbers on the tiles. But how do you know the word will start with SE, has 9 letters and is 72 points. Am I missing something. I am new to this, in case you didn't guess. :)

7:38 am

Girl Next Door

Oh, OK. Thank you amanda! I will do that. Sorry for being so verbose this morning. LOL

7:39 am

EvaNadine

GND -- if you are a Pro Babbler, you get extra things, like word stats and a running tally of what you have found and how many are left...

11:26 am

Wolvie

fries that look like waffles - really. Not kidding. ;-)

11:26 am

abe79

they are french fries in the shape of waffles. the greater surface area allows for more condiments/ grease/ salt

11:27 am

11:49 am

featherbee

weird behavior? no kidding!!!!

11:49 am

Dr_God

Weird behavior besides the server crashing constantly. ;)

11:50 am

featherbee

Dr_God

Just a coinky-dink

12:29 pm

I have a random-sounding question for those who know Sprite. What sort of tree would you think of when thinking of Sprite?

12:29 pm

Gadget

What letter does this other 8 start with? (not the se)...

12:30 pm

Erda

A belching tree?

12:31 pm

FMitch

Atalante - silver birch

12:32 pm

smaller

amanda, the whomping willow from harry potter had some zip to it

12:32 pm

Vicuna

so7/36 - frontier houses roofed with chunks of growing grass

12:32 pm

Atalante

I know its a strange question lol, I'm designing a tree tattoo for her, and I'm just interested in how others would "translate" her as a tree

12:32 pm

Atalante

whomping willow! is that a complement or not LOL!

12:33 pm

amandacath

this is true, smaller. I was thinking more along the lines of weeping willow = not Sprite

12:33 pm

Erda

complement or compliment?

12:33 pm

Lara226

Hi can I please have an as5 clue?

12:34 pm

Atalante

ermmmm whichever lol can't spell today :P

12:34 pm

Erda

lol ata

12:35 pm

smaller

atalante-i don't know sprite but i like the whomping willow. it's very ... "sassy". is sprite sassy?

12:35 pm

Atalante

yes, I think we'd describe Sprite as sassy

12:35 pm

smaller

there are days when i would LOVE to be the whomping willow

12:35 pm

Inge2

hmm. I can get the first 3 letters from your so7/36 clue Vicuna, but not the last 4

12:36 pm

amandacath

how 'bout the tree of knowlede of good and evil? Or what's that Saxon tree at the middle of the world? *googles*

12:36 pm

Lara226

Hi can I please have an as5 clue?

12:36 pm

Lupe613

there are days I'd like to whomp a willow...

12:36 pm

Vicuna

Inge, think of it as an adj having to do with the first three letters, then make it pl.

12:36 pm

smaller

lupe, isn't that banned in certain states? hahahaaha

12:36 pm

Vicuna

(Inge2, that is!)

12:36 pm

Lupe613

only if your caught

12:36 pm

Ping

ata, i don't know sprite but there's the story in greek mythology where daphne, running, changes into a tree, a bay laurel i think

12:37 pm

Atalante

Yggdrasil? actually, I've been thinking along those lines

12:37 pm

Inge2

Tree of Life is a pretty much universal symbol, with minor changes according to culture.

12:38 pm

Atalante

perhaps I should start up a new search engine then and make tonnes of money :)

12:39 pm

Douglas

...**** kindles the fires of American history."

12:40 pm

Atalante

oil isn't in there, Douglas .... :P

12:41 pm

Douglas

No, but it should be...

12:41 pm

Vicuna

If there were oil in the grid, there's be companies drilling it and the whole grid would be ruined for everyone else.

12:42 pm

Vicuna

(I mean "there'd be")

12:42 pm

Atalante

very true, Vic!

12:42 pm

torgone

Or the US would invade it ..

12:43 pm

Douglas

I'm at halfway! Woo-hoo! I'm going to lunch! bbl all

12:43 pm

Vicuna

But luckily no oil... just an almost limitless supply of ernes and etnas.

12:45 pm

xunilpenguin

ooh I have an issue with so7,36 .. its a plural word, yet the singular isnt allowed? aagh!

12:46 pm

Vicuna

Lesson Number 1: the Babble dictionary makes no sense.
Lesson Number 2: Now that you're annoyed about some inconsistency, the Babble dictionary still makes no sense.

12:47 pm

torgone

Wise words, vic ..

12:47 pm

gwenski

xunil: in this case, the singular is spelled with a "Y"

12:47 pm

xunilpenguin

hehehe . thanks

12:47 pm

Vicuna

Lesson Number 3: you can get sympathy from your fellow Babblers, but the Enable dictionary will NEVER make sense.

12:47 pm

Erda

It's a plural of SODDY

12:47 pm

Vicuna

(No, actually the -ie ending is an acceptable alternate.)

12:49 pm

amandacath

it's not a real word anyway, is it?

12:49 pm

Lara226

Hi can I please have a clue for the last de 5?

12:49 pm

12:53 pm

Lara226

Oh ok I was confused thinking nooo I m stilled married

12:54 pm

Vicuna

Not too many people think divorce is fun, amandacath! :)

2:10 pm

2:11 pm

TheFiz

2:14 pm

TheFiz

so...the mechanic figures out the problem and walks inside to tell the penguin the problem.

2:14 pm

abe79

so it was lacking in the 'gourmet' aspect

2:15 pm

Vicuna

Not only "can" you, scorpioba, but you WILL...

2:15 pm

TheFiz

He pulls open the freezer and says, "looks like you blew a seal". and the penguin wipes his mouth and says, "no, it's just ice cream".

periwinkle

ha5/16 please

2:37 pm

TheFiz

speaking of which - do you smoke, wassup? b/c it's super white trash to actually chain smoke - light one off the other. or to bring your own foam beer can cozy.

abe79

2:38 pm

wassup

i also need to go to one of those vending machines that sell the really quality fake tattoos. need to have one on my cleavage

2:38 pm

TheFiz

and isn't it interesting that "white trash" is both a racial and classist slur and yet we all feel comfortable using it. just a sociological observation before i return to giving advice.

2:38 pm

Anniebrook

and the ashes from you cigarette should be falling on the baby

2:38 pm

abe79

ha 5/16 sounds like god of t he underworld, past tense

klaurel

PR 5/14 (last one)

2:52 pm

TheFiz

it seems like that happens to many reality shows - people start to figure out the "types" and then they pick one to play, just as the producers figure out what the audience is into and amplifies that - the whole thing winds up seeming a little hollow.

2:52 pm

Anniebrook

laurel = its a type of number

2:53 pm

TheFiz

or a kind of rib.

2:53 pm

klaurel

ME 5/14 second one

3:04 pm

flosey

Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow.
Just declaim a few lines from "Othella"
And they think you're a heckuva fella.
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer,
And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well,
Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well."
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kowtow.

If she fights when her clothes you are mussing,
What are clothes? "Much Ado About Nussing."
If she says your behavior is heinous
Kick her right in the "Coriolanus."
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kowtow,
And they'll all kowtow,
And they'll all kowtow.

licketySplitAUS

There's a guy sitting at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour.

Soon, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand seeing a man crying."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I'm late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen.

"The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar.
