melonheadjujube

ahem, that's doofus, elphaba ;)

12:22 am

elphaba

i did thar on purpose :)

oh tiny tiny today, how is the grid today?

2:12 am

jillibus

New York is 3 hours ahead of here, so would be 3:12 am now

2:12 am

SamanthaJoy

because you're tiny. Not like Texas, which is BIG

2:12 am

SamanthaJoy

Have I mentioned the sheer size of Texas?

2:13 am

Angb

Yug is all I can say M3

2:13 am

scatty

i thought all of America was one time zone, see babble is educational

2:13 am

SamanthaJoy

America is five or six time zones

2:13 am

scatty

it would really confuse me

2:14 am

SamanthaJoy

jill, you're right, I was confused by daylight savings time again, sorry

2:14 am

SamanthaJoy

well, most states are only in one time zone, and it's pretty easy to keep track as you drive if you have a long way to go, so you really only need to keep track of local time

2:14 am

scatty

the only time change we have is in the sumer when it goes forward an hour to catch up with europe, then it goes back again further in the year

2:15 am

M3

i think there are 25 times zone's scatty x

2:15 am

SamanthaJoy

to make it more confusing, scatty, some states comply with daylight saving time (DST) and some don't

2:15 am

scatty

jesus

2:15 am

SamanthaJoy

there are 24 total, M3

2:15 am

SamanthaJoy

24 hours, see?

2:15 am

Angb

And we are the first one here - our East Cape see the sun first!

2:16 am

2:18 am

lynxxx

Hi all

jillibus

M3

yeah it does depend on whos version you take., good morning all x

2:18 am

Angb

There's some 2 hours between us - depends when

2:19 am

SamanthaJoy

and the answer is--we generally don't keep up. if there's a specific place that we have to know, we memorize the difference, but for the most part we pay no attention. I haven't the foggiest idea what time it is right now in, say, Phoenix

2:19 am

3:09 am

Douglas

There was Gemini Jim and Scorpio Sal
They was livin' by the Golden Gate
Freezin' their nose and wearin' leather clothes
And dealin' every way but straight.
They had a Leo dog and a Capricorn cat,
And everything was goin' fine
'Till into their life on a starless night
Come the man who got no sign.
Look out, Momma, he's headin' this way,
One eye yella and the other one gray,
Lookin' for a soul, but he won't get mine.
He's the man who got no sign.
Well he blew right in, sat right down
And rolled himself a righteous smoke.
He lit his roach with a lightnin' bolt,
He took a toke and spoke.
Said he was born in an astrological warp
When the moon refused to shine
On the **** of nowhere and nevermore.
He's the man who got no sign.

3:09 am

FranMag

you can't talk me out of it lynxxx! i want to get to sleep before 2am!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Exactly Fran, why sp5/14 the list?

3:41 am

Douglas

This is highly confidential; This is just between us two;
But Mrs. Toucanella told me, Horton's talking to a Who!

A Who?! Who's "a Who"?

Well, my dear, that's just the point! There isn't any Who.
Horton's brain is out of joint.

For goodness sake -- A Who?

Now, I know you won't repeat this; strictly entre ****;

Of course.

But Mrs. Tusic Toucanella is an unimpeachable source.
And she says irrefutably - it's indubitably a fact...
Horton's schizo-witsa-fistic. In other words, he's cracked!

3:41 am

lynxxx

You can do that with a C Colhad.

3:42 am

Haz1558

The french word, I take it, Douglas? no4/5

3:42 am

Douglas

Mais bien sur, Haz!

3:43 am

Haz1558

That probably takes the prize for the longest clue of the day!

3:43 am

Douglas

It took a little while to find the lyrics to "Mrs. Toucanella Told Me..."

3:43 am

Haz1558

Or maybe I shouldn't have said that. There are those of a competitive nature who play babble.....

3:44 am

Haz1558

The alternative clue (sadly short, I know) would be - no4/5 French we.

3:44 am

Douglas

phantom handout

3:44 am

FMitch

You are probably right on both points Haz. Much longer than that and the log will start hic up ing.

3:45 am

Haz1558

Douglas - there's another French word - ru4/5

3:45 am

Douglas

But that could also be the English word for regrets

3:46 am

Cheesenips

haddock pls, a nice fish if one doesn't have Alaskan king crab legs available (virtual word)

3:46 am

Haz1558

But then no4/5 is also the English word for common sense.

3:47 am

Cheesenips

fu6/25 robotic ending hmmm... still hmming....

3:48 am

lynxxx

think andr*** ( and go down) Cheese

3:48 am

Haz1558

If you have the robot ending, then SEE what letter you can use to join the beginning and the endind.

3:48 am

Haz1558

ending, rather.

3:49 am

lynxxx

4:04 am

metaleather

4:05 am

Douglas

You've got a couple of coconuts!

4:05 am

lynxxx

4:06 am

Cheesenips

4:06 am

Haz1558

Douglas - there's old French money in there as well. ec4/6

4:09 am

Douglas

Ah, oui, Haz, J'ai cinq francs!

4:10 am

Douglas

It's a good thing monkeys don't have to know French!

4:10 am

Haz1558

That should be enough to buy you a cafe noir!

4:12 am

Haz1558

It's been in the grid before, but I don't recall seeing the extinct do4/6 before. Maybe FMitch does?

4:12 am

Douglas

I'm getting hungry for some veal ****** blue

4:14 am

mrpresident

hello everyone... my nightmare has come true!! a grid full of C words!!

4:15 am

FMitch

No I don't think we have had it before Haz

4:15 am

Haz1558

Hello mrpresident!

4:16 am

mrpresident

Hello Haz and Fmitch and Doug and lynxxx et al!

4:16 am

Cheesenips

hi mrpres-- the really nasty c word is not here-- c*****n

4:16 am

FMitch

Following the French theme don't know if you ahve apready mentioned the mushroom c4

Hi MrP

4:16 am

Douglas

Greetings mrpresident

4:16 am

Haz1558

I hadn't, because I hadn't seen it - thanks FMItch!

4:18 am

Douglas

Je ne connais pas the mushroom c4 FMitch

4:18 am

mrpresident

I only see the dog!

4:18 am

Douglas

I remember that en Francais, the word for champion is a lot like the word for mushroom, champignon...

4:19 am

Haz1558

Douglas - think of your chest muscles, (shortened version) reverse the letters and plural it. It's a variety of mushroom

4:19 am

Cheesenips

co7/48 no doubt has already been clued? it's one of my last two

4:19 am

FMitch

good clue Haz

4:19 am

Haz1558

It has, Cheesenips. There is clarity all round.

4:19 am

Douglas

Well, I learned something today...

4:20 am

Haz1558

I tell you, Douglas, we should be on the school curriculum.

4:21 am

Douglas

I think that would be a great idea...

4:21 am

Douglas

Not pro plus join, Cheese

4:23 am

FMitch

Thunder is back and rolling around but no lightening.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Cheesenips, I'm sorry - I totally misunderstood you. I thought you were offering to clue co7/48 because it was one of the last you had found. I didn't realise you were asking for it to be clued. co7/48 is the opposite of to make clear.

4:24 am

Cheesenips

it's ok haz... got it now thanks much haz and also douglas

4:24 am

FMitch

You were co7'd by Cheese's post perhaps.

4:24 am

mrpresident

Haz, you had me looking for a co meaning clarity too!!

4:24 am

Cheesenips

means even more now that i have it

4:24 am

Douglas

Matey, there be sailors' affirmatives off the port bow...

4:25 am

Cheesenips

yes my post was hmmm... obscure

4:25 am

Haz1558

Sorry - I've managed to co7/48 everybody!

4:27 am

Cheesenips

Gimme a F***ing clue for ho6/27!!! Is THAT clear? (hehe)

4:27 am

Haz1558

That's the way to ask!

4:27 am

Douglas

That's the next generation, multi-lingual Babble! Given the number of Scottish words in the dictionary, we practially have that nu!

4:29 am

FMitch

ho6 = 1st 3 letters of the previous h5 + loud noise

4:30 am

ExWren

Still raining and as dark as night, and some other poor beggars are having the thunder, can hear it in the distance

4:30 am

Haz1558

That's a strange word.....

4:30 am

FMitch

Flippin heck - it's so dar here with the storm I've had to put the lights on.

Haz1558

You're asking me to count again?

4:41 am

Eva

or irod

4:41 am

Cheesenips

fo4/8 would be a number. The one after three.

4:42 am

Cheesenips

fo4/8 is what movie stars wear and get paint sprayed on them by PETA

4:42 am

FMitch

concentrate or fo5/20 on the grid and you will find words. Also a word used in connection with cameras

4:42 am

FranMag

4:42 am

Cheesenips

fu4/8 is to join together or, what has been replaced in the US by circuit breakers

4:44 am

Haz1558

Especially when they were in the grid yesterday, Fran!

4:44 am

Douglas

On Hawaii-Five-O, McGarrett would say "Book 'em *****." (vrnt splng)

4:44 am

Cheesenips

oh all right fu 6/36 hmmm--- if you are really angry at a robot that looks like a person, you will say two words and then delete some of the middle letters

4:44 am

FranMag

ix4/9 is kind of like the hairy-nosed pink dolphin we are so fond of.

4:45 am

FranMag

i know haz! that's why i'm glad i didn't ask for clues!

4:45 am

FMitch

Oh thats good Fran, I was just pondering how to clue that one.

There's something ever so slightly naughty about that hairy-snouted dolphin...

4:45 am

4:50 am

Douglas

Are there any footie players in the UK who make ten million pounds a year?

4:51 am

Eva

no I don't fran. Will go looking

4:52 am

PappouTed

eva, the g rhymes with the plural for something to place a present in

4:52 am

PappouTed

gotta go, have a good day all

4:52 am

FranMag

eva, it rhymes with multiple bushy-tailed sly dog-like animals.

4:52 am

FranMag

bye penny!

4:52 am

FMitch

Douglas - probably with endorsements etc

4:53 am

Eva

got it! Never heard it before. Thanks fran and pappou

4:53 am

FranMag

okay, if no other clues are needed, i'm off to quote-puzzler. night all! yw eva!

4:53 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is because Alex Rodriguez makes about 12 to 13 million pounds per year playing baseball for the New York Yankees.

4:54 am

lynxxx

Bye Fran

4:55 am

Douglas

The Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs recently, and there is great weeping and gnashing of teeth in New York...

4:55 am

FMitch

It's a lot of dosh which ever way you look at it. David Beckham is definately in that league and I am sure there are some other names in that league but I am not really up on such things.

4:56 am

Douglas

It's important to have someone to blame when things go wrong, and Rodriguez is an easy target...

4:56 am

mrpresident

Valentino Rossi is the highest paid sports person as far as I know... but he is also a living legend

4:56 am

Cheesenips

Also our San Diego Padres lost in the playoffs to the St Louis Cardinals and with less weeping etc due to less overweening ego going in

4:57 am

lynxxx

hello MRP

4:57 am

mrpresident

hi lynxxx!

4:57 am

Congrats to Trevor Hoffman...Lee Smith should be in the Hall of Fame, though...

5:32 am

Douglas

I believe that the Al-Qaeda guys wrote something about the din of war...

5:33 am

Eva

I keep trying pecod and thinking of Moby Dick-that was the Pequod wasn't it?

5:34 am

Douglas

Black helicopters, Novus **** Seclorum, it was a full moon this week...conspiracy theories abound...

5:34 am

Douglas

That's right, Eva...

Morning all. Had to wait for the thunderstorm to pass before I could turn on the computer. Small grid today!

5:35 am

Douglas

Down to 6...the c and d on my tile stats are surrounded by a sea of dark gray...

5:36 am

Eva

5:36 am

FMitch

Hi Jacs, I've been living dangerusly and babbled and worked throughout the storm

5:37 am

FMitch

They're behind you Eva

5:38 am

Eva

Merp just ate another mouse-the poor things are coming in for shelter from the cold and being massacred. You'd think word would get out.

5:38 am

Douglas

And smelling radon where there is none...

5:39 am

Jacula

So, me having found 9 words since I said Good Morning is false hope? LOL

5:39 am

Eva

and seeking succor when none is to be had

5:39 am

metaleather

Is there a way to set fire to the grid?

5:39 am

FMitch

Eva, does Merp bring you leftover offerings?

5:40 am

Eva

he often brings them live and wriggling to share and is very miffed by my lack of appreciation

5:40 am

mrpresident

LOL metal!! only if you finish!!

5:40 am

Eva

lOL metal

5:41 am

metaleather

deep sigh... no flames for me then, not today anyway.... the same sixteen blank faces keep staring up at me from the grid as they have been for more than an hour now.

5:41 am

Jacula

Eva - Tiggsy's the same.

5:42 am

Eva

5:42 am

Douglas

5:43 am

Eva

5:43 am

metaleather

5:44 am

FMitch

AHve you got the extinct bird d4?

5:44 am

Eva

5:45 am

FMitch

how about do4/11

5:45 am

Douglas

Hi FMitch and Jacula. I just read the chat and 88 words is deceiving, I guess.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I like your icon Douglas. It is supposed to snow here (I live in ski country) tomorrow and Friday! Yikes, I still have to rake leaves.

5:50 am

Jacula

I'm up to 27 words now but, as I said, I'm still in the first happy throes of word discovery.

5:50 am

Douglas

Thanks all for your help...

Scrabbler

Already done.

5:53 am

Jacula

Hmmm... the 2 'i' words might be hard to find.

5:54 am

Douglas

There is a Comcast commercial on ESPN with multiple centaurs looking forward to watching The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe...

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Yes, jacula, I am looking at those and wondering what the heck they could be.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I keep seeing Ixodes which is a tick that carries Lyme Disease.

5:54 am

Jacula

All I can see is Igor.

5:55 am

Douglas

I thought Igor might be a word, but alas, no...

5:55 am

Scrabbler

That is "Eye-gor"

5:56 am

Scrabbler

(Young Frankenstein---LOL)

5:56 am

Douglas

"I am a brilliant surgeon. I could do something about that hump."
"What hump?"

5:56 am

Scrabbler

"Abby Normal"

5:56 am

metaleather

pronounced Fronkensteen

5:56 am

Douglas

"Wasn't that hump on the other side yesterday?"
"What hump?"

5:56 am

Jacula

LOL.

ROFLOL. It is one of my favorite movies. It is time to watch it again.

5:58 am

Douglas

In the Sunday New York Times crossword, one of the clues was "Snack for a horse?" with the answer "Hay in the roll." When I saw that, I thought about Inge talking about a roll in the hay...

5:58 am

Scrabbler

LOL

6:00 am

Douglas

"Will you get the bags, Igor?"
"Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban."

Jacula

I seem to have started something here. LOL.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Jacula. This grid is a mean one---very few "normal" words. My monkey is getting upset already.

6:03 am

Jacula

Up to 35 words now - no i's yet though.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

6:04 am

hi all, i've got 34 words and I'm getting stuck now!

6:05 am

Jacula

First word I spotted was co5/16 (the Queen's dog), not to be confused with the common cu4/6.

6:05 am

Jacula

Hi kthdsn.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

The list is helping. (Helping me to "cheat")

6:06 am

Jacula

I bet the Quen's dog ya4/7!

6:06 am

Scrabbler

TY Jac---2 more.

6:06 am

Douglas

Add a letter to the mangy mutts to make a malediction...

6:06 am

Jacula

Oops! I mean Queen. Sorry your majesty!

6:07 am

Scrabbler

malediction----that is a big word, Douglas. Too big for me.

6:07 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - it's said a gypsy's cu5/14 was put on the Kennedys.

6:08 am

Douglas

Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved ***** does not come to rest.

6:09 am

kthdsn

6:09 am

Scrabbler

TY Jac. Douglas, you are way over me--the caffeine drip has just started working and my brain is gaining consciousness.

There's the military co4/7 and plural. You can add a vowel for a type of 2-door car & plural that, too.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am befuddled.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

6:13 am

Biltong

Hi everyone! Is this a meanie or what?

6:13 am

metaleather

Some Spanishy words would be nice for a change.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

How about English words used in everyday conversation?

6:14 am

metaleather

Biltong, your puppie's here!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I didn't get the 7 yet.

6:14 am

metaleather

oh, i've given up on those Scrabbler... Enable doesn't even recognize them

6:14 am

Jacula

If you were born between two star signs, you were born on the cu4/7.

6:14 am

Biltong

Hi, metal how are you?

6:15 am

Scrabbler

LOL

6:15 am

FMitch

6:19 am

metaleather

6:19 am

Jacula

Sounds like someone is beating hell out a dustbin outside! Wonder if it's a frustrated Babbler?:)

6:19 am

Biltong

Yes, would love to see it, metal.

6:19 am

Biltong

It could be me, Jacula!

6:20 am

Ragalla

io6 - first 3 letters like red stuff you put on cuts, last 3 letters goodness graci*** me

6:20 am

metaleather

There's one piece I like a great deal... made up entirely of scraps of floss and decorative threads... varying lengths of them... it came out looking somewhere between geometric, primitive and just plain odd.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

My monkey just found that io too.

6:20 am

Jacula

Thanks Ragalla!

6:20 am

ch1212

Biltong - Is it the grid or your computer you're bashing the dustbin with?:)

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Man's name + 2 vowels for the da5/12

6:24 am

kthdsn

6:24 am

Jacula

6:25 am

ch1212

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Oh, it's a plant?

6:25 am

Biltong

Douglas

6:25 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - ix is a type of iris.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Ty, Douglas. Now I can move on with my day in peace.

6:26 am

Jacula

Raaaaaay!!!!! ch1212

6:36 am

Ragalla

fu 6/36?

6:37 am

ch1212

fu6 = first three letters of the very bad word, + last three lettrs of what Data on Star Trek is

6:38 am

ch1212

it's a type of seaweed, apparently :)

6:38 am

Ragalla

thanks

6:39 am

ch1212

And for you non Star Trek fans, Data was a character who was an artifical human

6:39 am

Ragalla

what about ho5 - not the magicky one

6:39 am

ch1212

ho + father

6:40 am

metaleather

non Star Trek fan? there is such a thing?

6:40 am

Biltong

Well done ch1212!

6:40 am

ch1212

I know, metaleather -- I can't imagine any myself!

6:40 am

Biltong

Happy babbling. BBL.

6:41 am

ch1212

bye biltong!

6:41 am

metaleather

bye for now Biltong

6:41 am

chiley

Not a trekkie either....lost on the Data clue

6:41 am

Ragalla

data in star trek, but also r2d2 and c3p0 in star wars

6:41 am

metaleather

Data was an artificial person

6:42 am

ch1212

Chiley, did you see Speilberg's film A.I. ? The little boy was an and****

6:42 am

metaleather

a robot...

6:42 am

metaleather

sometimes also called an andr* * *

6:42 am

ch1212

Friday in Heinlein's book was one too :)

6:43 am

chiley

got it..thanks. I'm REALLY REALLY not a sci fi fan

6:43 am

metaleather

ooooooooh, you had to use that film for clue? one of the worst movies ever made.

6:43 am

ch1212

And of couse Asimov's 3 laws pertained to all of them too

6:43 am

ch1212

LOL metaleather -- I have to say I really tried hard to find the brilliance but finally had to just agree ... not his greatest

6:43 am

Ragalla

down to my last 10 - 3 of them are co's - 5/14, 4/10 and 5/22 (not the little rowers)

6:44 am

ch1212

drop the r from your chicken co, rag ...

6:44 am

metaleather

it sucked. and I"m not one to use that phrase lightly, but it reallllly did, especially at the end.

6:44 am

metaleather

go Ragalla

6:44 am

Ragalla

AI would have been a Kubrick film but for his death, and I can see how Kubrick would have made it darker and better

6:45 am

metaleather

you're two ahead of me

6:45 am

ch1212

add latin ending to your other co5/22 ... and then take first three letters of either co5/22 and add first vowel

6:45 am

Ragalla

on the subject of worst film ever, for me has to be saving private ryan - overlong and overrated

6:46 am

ch1212

yes rag! And overdone too

6:46 am

ch1212

and overacted :)

6:47 am

Ragalla

yes, and various other over-adjectives...

6:48 am

Ragalla

also struggling on the do's need: do 5/16, 4/11. 5/22 and 6/36

6:48 am

ch1212

a wonderful do5/16 clue earlier was Irma la Do***

6:49 am

ch1212

Then take first 3 letters and add the big scoring tile

6:49 am

metaleather

that was a charming film.

6:50 am

ch1212

the do5/22 and it's plural ... do + big scoring tile + 2 vowels

6:51 am

ch1212

Shirley made that role ... and speaking of her, my husband also saw "Terms of Endearment" for the first time a couple weeks ago (he's getting a whole education with me!)

6:52 am

chiley

Have any of you seen The Machinist? I watched it last night...weird but good. Christian Bale weighed next to nothing!

6:53 am

metaleather

I've not seen that one yet.

6:53 am

ch1212

I read the reviews on that, especially around Bale's performance. HAven't seen it yet; it's on the list.

6:53 am

chiley

It's several years old

6:54 am

metaleather

if it's been out a while, I may well have seen it then... i'm terrible with remembering titles

6:54 am

Ragalla

right then, last 4 words - who can help me: co5/14, no4/5 (not the knowing one), sp4/5 and sp 5/14

6:55 am

metaleather

sp5/14 to reject.... she sp5/14'd his advances

6:55 am

ch1212

ragalla, take your co6/24 and drop the 'r' for your co5/14

6:57 am

ch1212

no4/5 = no+decease minus the e

6:57 am

metaleather

sp4/5 to foretell.... sounds like alt. spelling of the operation which is the animal equivalent of a hysterectomy

6:57 am

ch1212

And th-th-th-that's all folks! Happy hunting!

6:59 am

metaleather

would anyone like a link to a word generator? ( to be used only in extreme circumstances of course ) ;o)

6:59 am

Inge2

The seeds of several varieties of Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea) contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), which is closely related to LSD. Seeds are taken orally, and can be eaten whole or the active alkaloids can be extracted.
I didn't know that

Hi April!

12:39 pm

Atalante

hi Haz! patient's much better today! vet did unspeakable things to her bottom, much to her relief afterwards, and she's on antibiotics. they think one of her anal glands was gunky and infected

12:39 pm

jaianniah

Oh, dear, Atalante, have you got a sick baby pet?

12:40 pm

Haz1558

So had she been scooting along the floor? Anal gland od5/14 is pretty unspeakable as well!

12:40 pm

Atalante

sick baby dog :( but she's muchbetter today!

12:40 pm

Anniebrook

ata, glad to hear that...

12:40 pm

jaianniah

I'm so glad. Those infections are awful.

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Maybe it's a spaniel thing - Spangle is prone to problems as well in that area.

12:42 pm

Atalante

but it took 2 of us to hold her down while the glands were emptied ... shows how gunky they must have been. she was *screaming*. but its so sweet,, the second it was done, she turned round and wiggled and licked the vets cheek

12:42 pm
