Hey Helen , you rascal!

12:23 am

helenkeller

hiya chic!

12:24 am

chic

I heard you went to the Star Trek convention!

12:24 am

spangles

I've reduced the size of my icon, so that it can be seen more clearly.

12:25 am

helenkeller

i was just in a huge debate with these idiots in the feed chat, some people, grrrr! i think erika's headed for an emotional break - it's very sad & i think bb is acting very irresponsibly by keeping her in the house - they need to take her to a safe, locked facility & de-brief her

12:26 am

chic

why? what's going on?

12:26 am

jillibus

spanges - still want to know who it is!

12:26 am

helenkeller

yes chic- my very first st convention - i had a great time, met wonderful people!!! but very sadly, not one klingon - not a one!!! can you believe it?!?!?!

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

got the other 9 - anyone want a clue?

12:26 am

Erda

It is Jack Slipper. He was the one who followed Ronnie Biggs, the great train robber from 1963, all over the world.

12:26 am

chic

I guess Klingons are Out (auf)!

12:27 am

Dippnall

please..

12:27 am

Dogluver

me me melon :p

12:27 am

jillibus

spangles - sorry - I missed your telling us who he was - and Briggs lived in Canada for a ehile I think

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

fattened

12:27 am

Erda

nets

12:27 am

helenkeller

chic-very sad, i think she's lost alot of contact with reality - she keeps throwing herself at boog, talking about how they are like an old married couple - he's not talking to her & avoiding her as much as possible - a rational person would've gotten thee hint already

12:27 am

jillibus

melon - you're amazing - and of course we want a clue!

12:28 am

melonheadjujube

hi, erda

12:28 am

Erda

hi melon

12:28 am

Dogluver

whats it start with melon?

12:28 am

melonheadjujube

jilli - just gave it

12:28 am

melonheadjujube

st9/66

12:28 am

spangles

jillibus it is Jack Slipper the famous London detective who chased "the great train robber 1963 " Ronnie Biggs all over the world.

12:28 am

chic

well they are not going to show that stuff on Tues....

12:29 am

nrkii

thanks melon!

12:29 am

Dogluver

ty so much melon!

12:29 am

Ornith

thanks melon, three words there!

12:29 am

jillibus

chat going fast and I'm missing stuff - sorry

12:29 am

Dogluver

phantom word - stipend

12:29 am

helenkeller

chic - more - she hasn't bathed for days, she either eats nothing, or binges (4 hot dogs), she has not done any pilates in over a week - i think she's clinically depressed, focusing only on this imaginary relationship with boog - when she finds out how people feel about her, it's gonna be bad

12:30 am

Ornith

my phantom is utopia

12:30 am

chic

but she's probably going to win because they can't possibly give to the snake, Boogie..

12:31 am

helenkeller

chic- one more thing - she was alrady emotionally fragile when she came into the house, broke up with boyfriend of 5 years & her dog died - + they are both re-writing history about what great players they are, how the rest are idiots, etc - so sad

12:31 am

Dogluver

that too ornith...

12:31 am

jillibus

*Biggs - if he's the one he lived near Montreal where I used to live and joined the golf club - nobody knew

12:31 am

Dogluver

lets pretend it has two t's :p

12:32 am

chic

that's why it should have been Janie at the end; she's much more stable person...

12:32 am

nrkii

how about a great miniature golf course, we could call it pu**opia

12:32 am

Ornith

lol nrkii

12:32 am

Dogluver

haha nrkii :p

12:32 am

Ornith

and thanks for two words :P

12:33 am

nrkii

3 words ornith

12:33 am

helenkeller

chic -i don't know - they had the q & a yesterday (which they didn't show) but they talked alot about it, seems they both think it will be as close as it could be - boog was asking erika all these questions about the season, what happened, when & in the course of ranting about how she took out the brain of chilltown, boog had another meltdown - she insulted his ego

12:33 am

Ornith

so it is. a little spacey tonight I guess

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

funny, nrkii

12:33 am

Jacula

Do you know, I think I preferred the pic of my cat to the one of Columbo? She's the bettter dectective by far!

12:33 am

Ornith

teth

12:34 am

Ornith

whoops

12:34 am

helenkeller

-used his anger at her as an excuse to not sleep with her - they didn't even stay in the same room - he wants nothing to do with her, she repulses him & she just doesn't get it, sad

12:34 am

Dogluver

why can't steep exist in the puzzle grrr

12:35 am

cybernan

have the st 9 -- what is the other one?

12:35 am

Jacula

Ornith - never mind, and forget my spelling also.

12:35 am

Ornith

whacha mean, forget your spelling, Jacula?

12:36 am

Jacula

There is no st9??

12:36 am

cybernan

st 9/66

12:36 am

debbinla

was there a hint for the st9 ? that i missed

12:36 am

Ornith

the nines are st and eu.

12:36 am

helenkeller

chic - i agree, so much better had jani been there, plus she actually deserves it

12:37 am

nrkii

ooh, just hit halfway point

12:37 am

Ornith

and yeah, scroll back a bit for st9 clue from melon

12:37 am

cybernan

oh well, couldn't find the eu 7 & 8, either!

12:37 am

majenwen

fattened

12:37 am

Dogluver

wtg nrkii

12:37 am

Ornith

cybernan, perhaps because they're 8 and 9

12:37 am

chic

well there was a very good reason why erika and boog didn't win on their respective shows; they are hated and lousy players...

12:38 am

Jacula

OOps! Not even seen or clued into next grid yet! Soorry folks!

12:39 am

Dogluver

to steal nrkii's good clue, nan, the eu6 and 7 have a soda name in the middle

12:40 am

cybernan

I saw that clue dog -- can't see a soda name either -- mind you, the only one I drink is coke!

12:40 am

Jacula

I won't be scrolling back forclues though, once I get to it... you surely must know me by now, folks/

12:40 am

nrkii

'salright, no copyright on that clue

12:40 am

nrkii

cybernan, the alternative to coke

12:40 am

Dogluver

The 5/12s are the two muscles, one on each side of the loin, extending internally from the sides of the spinal column to the upper end of the femur, which assist in flexing and rotating the thigh and flexing the trunk on the pelvis

amandacath

does the e-word have anything to do with letters - the kind you write, not the kind you spell with

7:02 am

amandacath

never mind - asking almost always makes me find the word

7:02 am

Wolvie

it means good digestion, amanda - the e8

7:02 am

Wolvie

oops - sorry. :-)

7:03 am

amandacath

actually, the digestion one comes from the top e - the one in the second row is an easy one I just wasn't seeing

7:04 am

Wolvie

oh - I didn't know which you were looking for -

7:05 am

amandacath

but thanks!

7:06 am

Wolvie

ah - like the single n word. :-) (easy, that is)

7:09 am

amandacath

FranMag

hi infernal!

7:13 am

7:13 am

Anniebrook

hi, herin

7:13 am

amandacath

hi herin!

7:14 am

herinfernallady

what is this viper with horns we speak of?

7:15 am

herinfernallady

hello back

7:15 am

amandacath

one of the a-words, herin

7:15 am

herinfernallady

arr i though that was just a viper

7:16 am

Becca Lorum

I can't get the viper (although perhaps I should be grateful of that!)

7:16 am

Wolvie

oh boy - will have to monkey that snake - I know of many horned viper, but no a ones. :-(

7:16 am

herinfernallady

um becca cleopatra was killed by one.

7:16 am

amandacath

the a-words make up some sort of bizzare Garden of Eden - two monkeys see two snakes in a tree and then form a church - I think my imagination is running away with me...

7:17 am

Becca Lorum

LOL Amanda!!!

7:17 am

lynxxx

7:24 am

mattygroves

7:24 am

Wolvie

7:44 am

Wolvie

7:44 am

spellit

de6/21 a mechanism that temporarily keeps one part in a certain position relative to that of another, and can be released by applying force to one of the parts. Wow that'a a mouthful!

oh man - this just gets worse, kl - glad the dancing daughter made it okay. :-)

8:12 am

BGL

sounds like a bummer all the way around the ceremony and pictures.

8:12 am

klaurel

yep, it bit. :)

8:13 am

klaurel

but, you know, my sis-in-law hated me from the day I met my husband (oh., 11/87) so, I am kinda used to it

8:13 am

BGL

my phantom word - pseudo!

8:13 am

ShadeEagle

I've got to stop looking for other people's phantom words

8:13 am

klaurel

my phantom has been anything with an OU

8:14 am

BGL

It's not fair to your kids, though. You are an adult and can write it off, but your kids...

8:14 am

Wolvie

oooh, bg - VERY close to a word, just a bit long. :-)

8:14 am

Wolvie

not that your's isn't a word, you understand. :-)

8:14 am

klaurel

well, they live in WI and we are in IL, so, we just won't have much to do with them anymore and when she does her passive-aggresive snipes t me, I am not letting them go for the sake of family harmony anymore

8:15 am

BGL

Thnx wolvie... I didn't know that was a word! :)

8:15 am

ShadeEagle

hey, I didn't know either. cool!

8:15 am

Wolvie

:-)

8:16 am

klaurel

brb - all! Have to wake small one to take big one to school! Darn rain

8:17 am

Wolvie

BGL - that happens to me here a lot.

8:17 am

ShadeEagle

okay, I think I've decided this board needs an R somewhere in it. I'm getting a ton of phantom words that end with R

8:17 am

spellit

Poteen is my phantom

8:18 am

BGL

Yeh, me too. You'd think I start increasing my vocab and/or remembering the words for an upcoming puzzle, but it doesn't usually work tht way.

8:19 am

shorty

LOL Shade

8:19 am

ShadeEagle

I've got to see the word at least 5 or 6 times before I have a shot of remembering it

8:21 am

SamanthaJoy

That's not unusual, shade--I'm the same way

8:21 am

Andree

I type words over and over forgetting I already have it, so no hope remembering for another day

8:22 am

Andree

I think its called "öldtimers disease

8:23 am

amandacath

ö

8:23 am

Wolvie

this all sounds disturbingly familiar... :-)

8:24 am

SamanthaJoy

My current phantom word is "sapient"

8:24 am

amandacath

hey! the log now takes special characters!

8:25 am

SamanthaJoy

tees

8:25 am

SamanthaJoy

whoops

8:25 am

8:26 am

8:28 am

dodge

oh cheers evandine!

8:28 am

Wolvie

good job evan, now I need to find them. :-)

8:29 am

amandacath

oh bother - se6/18 and se6/21 directly after the 'group of 7'?

8:29 am

SamanthaJoy

w0000t! More than halfway! Now I can go check out the lists without breaking my silly, self-imposed rule!

8:29 am

Wolvie

I just opened lickety myself, sam - same reason. :-)

8:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, I haven't actually *opened* Lickety yet--I just *can*, now, if I want to :D

8:31 am

Wolvie

the 6/18 I have is like a couch, amanda

8:31 am

Wolvie

well I did, lol, sam

8:32 am

amandacath

it's before that, wolvie - my monkeys just can't figure it out

8:34 am

EvaNadine

any hints for the words coming from the top 2 E's?

8:34 am

Wolvie

ah - still working on that one myself

8:34 am

BGL

I'm glad others have silly "self-imposed" rules also...

8:34 am

SamanthaJoy

BGL, what would life be without meaningless restrictions and goals?

8:34 am

Wolvie

eu - soft drink, plus vowel evan

8:35 am

Mooch

se/6 is it ... I se** a letter + ** phone home

8:35 am

Wolvie

the other from that top e is the plural of the clue I gave you

8:36 am

amandacath

nope, yet another se, mooch

8:36 am

SamanthaJoy

wolvie, I don't see a soft drink in there *anywhere*

8:36 am

SamanthaJoy

Amanda, one of the SEs is a wierd compound--have you ever se* *** a dish of milk for a cat at night?

8:36 am

amandacath

sure you do sam - the eu's are happy digestion

8:37 am

Wolvie

not coke, but Pe......, sam

8:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Happy digestion? Have you and wolvie gone crazy?

8:37 am

amandacath

yay, sam - one more se...

8:38 am

Wolvie

nope - the exact def is "good digestion", sam. :-)

8:38 am

EvaNadine

*interestink*

8:38 am

amandacath

more or less, yes, Sam - but it really does mean that (sort of)

8:39 am

ypsigirl

got it wolvie & amanda, thx!

8:39 am

EvaNadine

hows about for that other top E?

8:39 am

BGL

amanda - the other se6 sounds like a sugar se* up + dextr***

8:39 am

ExWren

Thank goodness I have finished the p's at last. It was an uphill struggle

8:39 am

SamanthaJoy

The other se has a chemically-ending, though the word does not mean a chemical of any sort

8:39 am

Wolvie

you mean the e in the second row, evan?

8:39 am

SamanthaJoy

Think lact*** intolerance

8:39 am

amandacath

phew! Thanks, BGL - 1 word to go, and it's....

8:39 am

EvaNadine

wolvie -- yup

8:40 am

Wolvie

exwren - I am going to ask you for clues. be warned. :-)

8:40 am

Wolvie

8:41 am

EvaNadine

oh, got it now...

8:41 am

Wolvie

Good Night I have been working silently without the chat but falling asleep at keyboard

Also, can you put a blankrety-blanking R in this puzzle? I need one.

Anyone else in the Midwest/Chicago area today? Man, this weather is only good for a fish!

8:45 am

Wolvie

nite tiny

8:46 am

Mooch

8:46 am

SamanthaJoy

I have two sword-related ones, though I'm not sure of any particular stories related to them

8:46 am

amandacath

...that comes to a close 3 times

8:47 am

phandmd

2nd as 5 pls?

8:47 am

amandacath

but if there were a story it would be an ....

8:47 am

klaurel

AS + to take a ***S (when you go to the bathroom)

8:48 am

phandmd

thnx

8:48 am

Wolvie

amanda - i am dense today - there is no c, so can you help me out a bit?

8:48 am

klaurel

I shouldn't be clueing should I? So tired I am a little umm colorful

8:49 am

Andree

clue for es5/12 please

8:49 am

SamanthaJoy

laurel, you keep it right up. Your tiredness is all that's keeping some of us awake

8:49 am

amandacath

almost, wolvie - the other long-story-word that begins the same way

8:49 am

bunnyvicious

es 5/12 - e + opp of go, plural for 6/21

8:50 am

Wolvie

ah. thanks amanda!

8:50 am

klaurel

8:51 am

8:52 am

SamanthaJoy

<temper tantrum> I WANNA RRRRRRRRRRR IN MY PUZZLE! </temper tantrum>

8:53 am

bunnyvicious

yw

8:53 am

klaurel

I want a R too, Samantha!

8:53 am

Wolvie

lol sam

8:54 am

bunnyvicious

Think of is this way, a high profile letter like an "R" would add at least fifty more words to the grid...

8:54 am

klaurel

think if we all throw enough of a tantrum, an R will appear? :D

8:54 am

SamanthaJoy

klaurel, methinks there's only one way to find out for sure

8:55 am

SamanthaJoy

WEe're going to have to ask Dr_God

8:55 am

bunnyvicious

They'd all be re's too.

8:55 am

klaurel

true! with all good things comes a bad

8:55 am

Andree

got the esclue at last,thx bunny

8:55 am

SamanthaJoy

OK, bunny, your superior logic wins the day. I will be content with "pretend" as a mere phantom

8:56 am

amandacath

I considered wanting an r myself, but then I realized that there would probably be about twice as many words, so decided we were well of without it

8:57 am

klaurel

aaarrggghh! EU?

8:57 am

kangaroo

any hints for the 9 letter words?

8:57 am

bunnyvicious

I've been absentee, remind me how to skip to the next line without posting into chat by hitting enter...

8:57 am

ExWren

no no no, no re's, please. The p's were bad enough

8:57 am

EvaNadine

kangaroo -- theres an EU 8/55 - 9/72 combo

8:58 am

bunnyvicious

Then st 9/66, builds off of the st 5/12 and st 7/32 preceding it.

8:58 am

amandacath

klaurel - if indigestion is dys******, then good digestion is your eu word

8:58 am

klaurel

evan, a little help with that EU would be nice. :D

8:59 am

EvaNadine

bunny, care to elaborate on that ST group?
;)

8:59 am

klaurel

thanks, amanda

9:00 am

EvaNadine

eu + Coke's rival + vowel
then make it plural

9:00 am

bunnyvicious

Someone gave an excellent clue earlier, eu 8/55, eu + a brand of soda + 1st vowel

9:00 am

amandacath

my favorite clue of the day - st9 = made more guiness

9:01 am

Wolvie

well folks, 50 left to go - bbl - must do some things today. :-)

9:02 am

bunnyvicious

add onto the st 5/12 ( heavy or bulky) or...st + opp of in + 10 (lose a T)

9:03 am

bunnyvicious

Past tense for the 9 (BTW, I'm way out of practice giving clues).

9:03 am

Andree

bye wolvie, with 34 to go I am off to bed, happy babbling, I am finding this grid very difficult

9:04 am

EvaNadine

worked for me bunny!!
thanks!

9:04 am

9:04 am

ExWren

9:05 am

klaurel

nite andree

9:05 am

Mooch

whoops sorry

9:05 am

amandacath

I don't think I'll ever forget that eu-word. I have this picture in my head of a cartoon stomach with arms and legs bouncing euphorically around a room shouting "Yippee!"

9:05 am

inge

bunnyvicious, glad to see you. I really missed you these past weeks....months

9:06 am

bunnyvicious

...with a soda can in its hand.

9:07 am

bunnyvicious

Been about two months. I have two sets of very ill grandparents who needs meals and cleaning done for them. Tack on the five kids and buying a house...well....

9:08 am

klaurel

ouch, bunny!

9:08 am

amandacath

hee hee! Now I'm wondering if that's where the name came from...google, here I come..

9:08 am

inge

I keep wondering how you and your neighbor are geting along. but you have moved away from that crazy guy

9:08 am

shorty

no need to apoligize mooch its not a word hehe

9:09 am

bunnyvicious

Yup, good riddance to the psycho, hello scorpians, tarantulas, and coyotes. I never thought of myself as a city girl, but if I see one more goat walk down the road...

9:10 am

phandmd

so clues for those eu words?

9:10 am

kc8501

anyone have a hint for the je6 and 7?

9:11 am

bunnyvicious

that je 6 rhymes with the te 5/10, double the cons in the middle.

9:11 am

Mooch

a girls name shortened + something you use when you fish. Then the plural. je6 and je7

9:12 am

klaurel

think of Olympian Bruce J*****, but change the last letter to T and then PL for 7

9:12 am

EvaNadine

phan -- scroll down to my 9:00 clue

9:12 am

inge

I need but one more word, no doubt a fishy one: I need se 5/10 just above the dark brown color and after shipping

9:12 am

Uneaixoise

bunny, i was curious and looked up Weatherford--looks like a very interesting little town! http://tinyurl.com/ltmeh

9:12 am

kc8501

OMG actually, the 6 is another spelling for MY middle name. AHAHHAAHA

9:12 am

klaurel

9:13 am

bunnyvicious

Inge, add a vowel to the shipping

9:13 am

amandacath

Google is out friend. 1903: "In keeping with its origin as a pharmacist's concoction, (brand name) inventor Caleb Bradham's advertising praises his drink as "Exhilarating, invigorating, aids digestion."

9:14 am

bunnyvicious

Une, it is! Red-neck Bible belt, we are in Peaster, little out of Weatherford.

9:19 am

Good morning Babblers. Inge--congrats. Bunny--I love your icon. My rabbit is at my feet, feeding me clues.

9:20 am

9:20 am

bunnyvicious

Thx, I'm just to lazy to shop for new pics everyday.

9:21 am

bunnyvicious

LOL, you've got me beat! But I still don't like the livestock trolling the neighborhood.

9:21 am

inge

two new features you may not know about, Bunny, are Stidmamas story, which she usually tells at 9 pm grid time. First 41 chapers are in Babanon interest section; and the very funny exchange of stories in the icons of chj, Evananut and Renfield, keeps me laughing anyway

Scrabbler

Good job Merk

9:32 am

9:33 am

Merk

Thanks! I'm leaving unless someone needs a clue yet.

9:33 am

amandacath

Well, I'm off, guys. Have fun with the rest of the grid!

9:34 am

caitlyn

shorty didyou have any luck with st9 ? It builds off the last st 5/12

9:34 am

bunnyvicious

I better get, but before I do... I need a little bit of advice concerning my kitties.

9:35 am

Merk

Sorry, I don't know much about cats except from my daughter.

9:35 am

caitlyn

What did you want to know bunny?

9:35 am

bunnyvicious

We just bought a house nd the front porch is an elevated and fenced in deck. What can I sprinkle/spray/shove under it to keep the cats from using it as a litter box?

9:36 am

raelite

morning all

9:36 am

I'd suggest a google search on that one.

Morning rae

9:36 am

caitlyn

Hi torgone

9:36 am

anyas_wrath

Inge, I am still here. Having typing issues, apparently.

9:37 am

lianakate

bunny,..mothballs.

9:37 am

Merk

Well you all seem well started and not in need of clues so I'll meander off now. Good luck with your kitties, bunny.

9:37 am

inge

yes Anya, what can I do for you?

9:37 am

raelite

bunny - cats hate lavender...I have several plants in front of places I don't want EL Catto to venture

9:37 am

SamanthaJoy

G'bye merk

9:37 am

lianakate

my neighbor years ago had about40 cats..and they were always..err, littering in my flower boxes..etc

9:37 am

lianakate

I was told to use mothballs as a deterrent..and it worked!

9:38 am

anyas_wrath

however, mothballs are toxic to cats, so if you have one that eats unusual things, it could be a problem.

9:38 am

lianakate

lavender sounds like a helluva better alternative than mothballs..the smell, ack

9:39 am

123456789

Wow

9:39 am

bunnyvicious

I'll do BOTH! Does lavedar grow easily? We have pretty rocky and dry soil.

9:39 am

raelite

what I did was plant catnip on one side of the garden and lavender where I didn't want him to go...so far, so good

9:39 am

lianakate

i hate to sound too cruel..but if the mothballs were toxic..so be it..she had no right to allow 40 dang cats to roam..

9:40 am

lianakate

especially in MY space..It was horrendous

9:40 am

raelite

you can put the lavender in containers...then they would be a mobile task force!! lavender is very easy to grow

9:40 am

anyas_wrath

well, i understand that, liana, i am just saying that if bunny's cats are pets, she might not want to use that.

9:40 am

lianakate

anya..i agree whole heartedly

9:40 am

lianakate

:)

9:41 am

anyas_wrath

i have also used mothballs when a neighbor's cat kept killing birds and bunnies in our yard.

9:41 am

bunnyvicious

Forty is a little much, we have ten. But I like to have them around to keep the snakes at bay, we are in copperhead territory.

9:41 am

raelite

and the lavender should be on sale this time of year...you want to get establish plants

9:41 am

lianakate

okay..time for my shower..happy babbling, gang..xoxoxo'

9:41 am

inge

how about lavender oil to get started, bunny?

9:41 am

bunnyvicious

bye lian

9:42 am

caitlyn

Bye liana

9:42 am

anyas_wrath

inge, I need 89 words. I am sure you know through our psychic connection which ones. ;)

9:42 am

bunnyvicious

Good idea. I try to limit my nursery trips to once a month. I tend to overspend now that I have four acres to decorate, lol.

9:43 am

phandmd

I reached 100 words. Off to do some stuff

9:43 am

Atalante

or plant brambles - then you get blackberries as well as cat deterrent :P

9:44 am

bunnyvicious

Brambles would be good for the cat problem, but two four year old girls + lots of staining blackberries right at hand....

9:45 am

123456789

huh?

9:45 am

anyas_wrath

inge, my car *might* be done tonight

Well, thank you for the advice. We're off to grandmas for a fun filled day of mowing and pulling weeds!

9:47 am

caitlyn

Can I come with you bunny?

9:47 am

That's an expensive flight just to do yard work in 100 degree weather!

1:46 pm

cybernan

1:58 pm

magzel

can't get the de 5/12. more help please

1:58 pm

harpjane

I"ll get right to the point. Could I get a clue or two, for the ps 5/12 words? I have the 5/16. Thanks

1:59 pm

Vicuna

the first de5/12 is pl of the de4/5 you get in your car when someone bumps it lightly

1:59 pm

Wolvie

the def for the ps: either of two muscles, one on each side of the loin, extending internally from the sides of the spinal column to the upper end of the femur, which assist in flexing and rotating the thigh and flexing the trunk on the pelvis. (both)

2:00 pm

abe79

wolvie- the first pe 5/14 is something that is waiting to happen. the other one is the macaroni, minus a consonant

2:00 pm

Vicuna

Or, pl of last name of Hitchhiker's Guide hero.

2:00 pm

Vicuna

(for de5/12, that is)

2:00 pm

magzel

thanks that was a foolish word to miss

2:00 pm

Wolvie

I have the car one, vic. I have the macaroni, too abe - let me look at these a sec

2:01 pm

raelite

or ps: ps+long feathery extravagant scarf b***

2:01 pm

Vicuna

(That was magzel asked for the de5/12, Wolvie.)

2:01 pm

cybernan

de 5/12: what you have on your car when you've had a fender bender

2:02 pm

Wolvie

abe - I show a pe 5/12 between waiting and the macaroni... on my lickety

2:02 pm

Vicuna

Oh, I like your detective, raelite -- but I don't think she's sufficiently traditionally built in that picture! :)

2:02 pm

raelite

I liked the colours...my copy of the book doesn't have a lady on the cover!

2:02 pm

mattygroves

What's a macaroni?

2:02 pm

cybernan

pe 5/12: a sauce for pasta made from basil, garlic and onion

2:02 pm

Wolvie

hey - rae did better than me - I only have a hat for mine!!

2:03 pm

mattygroves

Got the sauce...what's the macaroni?

2:03 pm

Vicuna

pe5/12 - odd pl of male "member"

2:03 pm

Wolvie

I have the sauce, cyber -but thanks

2:04 pm

mattygroves

That's the one - thanks. Still looking for (as it's been mentioned) the ps - I have the fake, and the muscle.

2:04 pm

Wolvie

that's probably the one, vic - I'll work on it. (lol)

2:04 pm

raelite

macaroni clue: a type of pasta that's tube shaped and straight with ridges on it

2:04 pm

ladynoire1013

my brain is just totally befuddled, I am not getting any of the clues today

2:04 pm

Vicuna

raelite, it looks like that copy is not in English!

2:04 pm

abe79

wolvie- that pe 5/12 - take the macaroni, lose a consonant, add a plural

2:04 pm

harpjane

thanks! It's something we all have two of, yet most of us don't know the name!

2:04 pm

raelite

I know...it's in francais (my mother tongue)

2:04 pm

Wolvie

the other ps is still the muscle, matty - just a different ending - third vowel instead of snake

2:04 pm

cybernan

pe 5/12: drop one of the double letters from the pasta and pluralize

2:05 pm

Wolvie

oh man - thanks abe!

2:05 pm

mattygroves

Ta much!

2:05 pm

Wolvie

and cyber

2:05 pm

2:06 pm

cybernan

pe 5/14: plural of the 4/6 before it

2:06 pm

ladynoire1013

I think my hair is pulled too tight, my head hurts and my eyes feel funny

2:06 pm

Vicuna

de6/21 - a catch or lever, but looks like an alliance minus the last e

2:07 pm

Wolvie

thanks cyber - I need to remember plurals!

2:07 pm

cybernan

de 6/21: de + canvas shelter

2:07 pm

Vicuna

(well, not really an alliance so much as an easing of relations, I guess...)

2:07 pm

vedaman

ah thanks!

2:07 pm

Vicuna

(But cybernan's clue is more to the point anyway!)

2:08 pm

vedaman

yes, cybernan gets kudos for cluing for dummies

2:10 pm

mattygroves

I'd love to get another 10 before going to the list...but I'm lagging.

2:11 pm

mattygroves

If I find another 9 - I'd have 100, and so 86 to go. You're all smarter than me.

2:12 pm

vedaman

pa7: glue + opposite of down

2:12 pm

Vicuna

pa7/40 - stick together, pa5 + opp of down

2:12 pm

cybernan

pa 7: compound word - glue + not down

2:12 pm

cybernan

2:13 pm

vedaman

The rule is -- if they haven't made an effort to make me learn their name by midterms, then their grade "bobs" too -- at "C" level.

another de6/24 is plural of the train stations

That is funny. I can't imagine how I would be with a whole room full to remember, and ones I didn't give birth to, at that!

5:28 pm

jfarber

Bad pun, but they remember it -- and remember to participate, too!

5:28 pm

Krista

oh, you had mentioned about the first graders, so I thought you were teaching

5:28 pm

FranMag

that's cool jfarber! i always liked teachers with a sense of humor.

5:29 pm

jfarber

In middle school electives, we have 8 "roomsful" to remember -- every other day, time four classes a day. And first midterms are five weeks after the year begins, so I need something to get them to teach me their names!

5:29 pm

jfarber

Dorky humor is about it, for teachers, tho.

5:32 pm

Krista

I don't think I'd have the patience to be a teacher, though I used to like the idea. My relatives who are go through so much stress with school politics. The kids are the easy part.
