3:29 am

Hello Sprite!

3:29 am

sprite

absolutely :) Glad it is over, but my daughter had a terrific time :)

3:33 am

FranMag

can't wait for my daughter's first sleepover, many years in the future though, she'll be 2 in May

3:34 am

sprite

quite a handful then probably, Fran :)

3:35 am

FranMag

stubborn as a mule and already talking back even though she has yet to say a real word.

3:35 am

sprite

yay! Girrrrrrlpowerrrrrrrr

3:36 am

FranMag

i guess that's one way to look at it. :-)

3:37 am

sprite

have to admit I am always in two minds about that. I insist that my rules are followed, but deep in my heart I cannot help admiring their courage and power when they talk back to me and challenge me :)

3:38 am

sprite

Can you imagine, being 2 yo, totally dependent on that huge grownup there and making clear that you have a mind of your own? Heroic :)

3:38 am

FranMag

she's definitely a free spirit

3:40 am

lynxxx

They say kids are the way they are because of the way they are brought up - but I reckon that most of their personalities come inbuilt already

3:41 am

FranMag

i think that's what it is too lynxxx

3:41 am

sprite

as parents you can teach them rules and boundaries, and some values. And some tools to handle life a little easier. That's about it, I think. Kids are very much their own person.

3:44 am

lynxxx

Agree. but why is it us girls invariably turn into our mothers as we age!

3:44 am

sprite

genes :)

3:44 am

FranMag

3:46 am

Jencatd

Agreed. I'm trying to avoid becoming my Mum, but I seem to have a similar personality to hers so it'll be challenging. o_O

3:46 am

sprite

this is not my day, I fear. This morning my family was fighting when I got downstairs, my computer chair collapsed and my firefox still isn't working properly.

3:47 am

FranMag

ugh, not a good start sprite

3:47 am

sprite

you won't be your mum, Jen, never. The point is, you fear some aspects so much that you see them in yourself bigger than they are ;)

3:47 am

lynxxx

poor Sprite - it will be better tomorrow

3:47 am

FranMag

sorry oggy, don't have it yet

3:47 am

sprite

I hope so, lynxxx :)

4:08 am

some tips on this grid: don't forget trying a plural to everything, remember that greek words can have strange plurals, watch the 'ic' ending, try ending words in 2 vowels, try double consonant alt. spellings if possible and check your babblet storage.

5:04 am

Haz1558

Ample bosom - two male children , id est. The so7 is the comparative.

cybernan

ty, arb

11:27 am

hetty

Yup, works as plural. How about that. They must come in pairs!

11:28 am

cybernan

have all the 9's, but still need 5 8's

11:28 am

hetty

I'll never don a blouse again without thinking of you, Haz

11:28 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked for you, hetty.

11:28 am

Haz1558

What a thought!

11:29 am

cybernan

how many ox's?

11:29 am

Haz1558

There are two, cybernan, a 4 and a 5

11:30 am

ARB

11:30 am

cybernan

11:31 am

caitlyn

Afternoon all....just popping in to see you all while I have a chance!!

11:31 am

ARB

Hi Caitlyn

11:31 am

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn - nice to see you.

11:31 am

vpchat

en6/18, en8/40 combo? Saw a clue way back about something Greek... didn't help me.

11:32 am

Haz1558

en plus a vowel, then shortened female sibling. The en8 is its plural.

11:32 am

ARB

en 6 en + vowel + female sibling.

11:33 am

vpchat

oooh, thanks arb

11:33 am

ARB

Haz - you and I have been making very siilar definitions.

11:33 am

Haz1558

I know - if they don't get it from our clues, they're in trouble.....

11:34 am

ARB

Or we're in trouble!

11:35 am

Haz1558

They'll yell if there's a problem.

11:36 am

ARB

I expect you're right.

11:37 am

caitlyn

I seem to be going through a phase of being to dense to clue!!LOL

11:37 am

Haz1558

You just need to get your clue receptors calibrated, caitlyn...

11:37 am

bunnyvicious

Howdy Cait! Sorry i didn't see you, I've been cursing at the C. How are you?

11:39 am

11:40 am

bunnyvicious

Congrats to your daughter!
Twins are sick...again. I'm starting to think they are getting all this from school. They go back tomorrow, it's hard keeping them glued to the couches! Older three went to a dance last week, Ice met a boy there and didn't tell me about it.

caitlyn

No Haz I havnt seen Flask

11:41 am

Bloodaxe

11:42 am

caitlyn

Sorry the twins are ill again perhaps when the weather improves they will be better...Now your age is showing when the others are going out to dances..LOL

caitlyn

11:54 am

cybernan

11:54 am

Bloodaxe

11:54 am

Bloodaxe

i really don't like "c" words.

11:54 am

Haz1558

torgone

Poke its eye out ..

11:56 am

ursh

11:56 am

bunnyvicious

Could I have a clue for el 7/8? Go easy on me, my brain is at half speed today...

11:56 am

caitlyn

Hi tor..lol

11:56 am

ursh

*off

11:57 am

Haz1558

la8 - the quality of being decorated with the seethrough fabric (use the loch monster ending) The 10 is the unlikely plural.

11:57 am

Haz1558

el7 - the same ending as when two worlds collide - there has been a coll*****.

11:58 am

cybernan

who's to say there are'nt a whole breed of little monsters swimming around that lake?

11:58 am

Haz1558

Or, el, verb form of to be, blessed charged particile ending.

11:58 am

bunnyvicious

Ty Haz, and for that silly la 10 as well.

11:59 am

caitlyn

nan they cant be I have been baby sitting most of them lately

11:59 am

cybernan

let's face it -- we have ogopogo, Vancouver has cadboro, Winnipeg has winipogo -- I think it is a new breed of fish!

11:59 am

Haz1558

There was a great children's cartoon series on a few years ago based on 'The Family Ne4/4' Characters included 'Sportiness, Happiness etc'

11:59 am

Bloodaxe

mam...my monkey's on fire today!

12:00 pm

bunnyvicious

Not yet Cait, Spring Break in two weeks, I'm Fed Ex'in mine overseas :)

12:00 pm

Dispatch

i am just not getting the la8. all i see is the la6 like the old tv show dog

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Dispatch - think of an adjective for the fabric we're talking about, drop the y, exchange it for a vowel and add the loch monster ending

12:01 pm

cybernan

go north, dispatch

12:01 pm

caitlyn

We have just had the half term holidays here plus I look after the baby a least a couple of days/nights aweek now...anyway time for me to go again..happy babling all see you tomorrow ..bye

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Bye caitlyn

12:02 pm

cybernan

la 8: a bridal veil is made of la 4/5 -- sometimes it has extraordinary la 8

12:03 pm

Dispatch

okay..i see where i'm to go...but not extending it to the 8

12:03 pm

Dispatch

thanks nan...trying it

12:03 pm

Inge2

tx for that one, folks. back to work!

12:04 pm

cybernan

the adverb for la 4/5 is la 4/8 -- change that back to a noun by changeing the last letter and adding the scottish monster

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Bye inge 2.

12:04 pm

ursh

tx cybernan - dispatch i was trying to use the "end" of the loch monster word - use the beginning of the loch word

12:05 pm

Dispatch

omgolly...that's what i was doing!!! thanks ursh!

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Going to take a break - keep babbling!

12:07 pm

cybernan

12:07 pm

grw

100 words? i'm up to 65 and happy

12:07 pm

cybernan

*2/3 of the way through!

12:08 pm

Munner

Any clues please for the bottom row N?

12:09 pm

grw

NOne

12:09 pm

Munner

thanks, but that one's credited from the third row.

12:11 pm

cybernan

no 4/4 -- another word for grandma

12:11 pm

Munner

I have this crazy self-imposed rule that I cannot go to Lickety's list unless I have have over half the words OR on terrible puzzles like today's, I have to find one word for each box. Yeah, I'm a little Monk obsessive/compulsive

12:11 pm

Munner

Thanks, nan, but that one's credited from the top row N.

12:12 pm

vpchat

Munner, I have the exact same rule

12:12 pm

Kazzer99

very strange - so do i and by the way - hello all

12:12 pm

cybernan

no 6: lound sound plural

12:12 pm

bunnyvicious

Munner, no 6/21 is like the no 9/60 minus the last two letters, The no 9/60 is one who elects to a ballot (sounds like the bottom number of a fraction)

12:12 pm

Munner

vp chat, your'e a bosum buddy as in Anne of Green Gables.

12:13 pm

evanonut

hi hi hihhihihihihihihihihi

12:13 pm

cybernan

no 7/28: louder (making more no 5)

12:13 pm

Munner

Nan, that one's credited from top row, too. Alas!@

12:14 pm

Bloodaxe

si7/28 please? the first one.

12:14 pm

cybernan

no 9: one who proposes someone for the electoral slate

12:14 pm

evanonut

vp, munner, i relax that rule in that if i exceed half on one letter and fall short on another, it counts as half

12:14 pm

bunnyvicious

no 8/45 - not + particle + fozen ending
(I'm looking to see which is the last one)

12:15 pm

Aloyisius

hi everyone.. some tuff grid today! Babble lunchtime..hope to find a few more

12:15 pm

BabbleRabble

12:15 pm

Munner

Bless you, Nan for no 9. Whew!

12:15 pm

bunnyvicious

no 8/40 - what you smell with, add the Loch Monster ending (being in another's business)

12:16 pm

Munner

And, to you too, bunny for the no8.

12:16 pm

Bloodaxe

12:17 pm

bunnyvicious

Bye Nan

12:20 pm

vpchat

I'm lost on the ME words. Do they all have the same base?

12:20 pm

bunnyvicious

Same first three letters.

12:22 pm

bunnyvicious

The first two are a oluraled pair, the second two are variations of one another (a vowel in the end is the only difference)

12:23 pm

periwinkle

HI everyone.

12:25 pm

Bloodaxe

12:25 pm

12:28 pm

torgone

Yup ..

12:28 pm

Bloodaxe

12:28 pm

bunnyvicious

Ya know, I've heard of Rice-a-Roni, does that count?

12:29 pm

cybernan

12:29 pm

redshoes

=) back in the 80s, I guess, Bobby Brown had a song called "My Tender Roni." It was on the same CD as "My Perrogative," a song dually ruined by Britney Spears... though she does fit the lyrics.

12:30 pm

Bloodaxe

thanks bunny! totally redeemed :)

12:30 pm

cybernan

and I so want to look svelte for our son's wedding in August! --- do yo know, my husband actually likes exercising!!!! I need a pill that will dissolve fat and a wrinkle cream that really works!

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

12:34 pm

periwinkle

an7/32 please

12:35 pm

redshoes

I understand that, nan! I have to push myself to work out. Just don't over do it... any of it. My skin's the best when I don't over-treat it. And working out too hard only "fries" your body. You have to keep your heart rate in the right target zone. It's lower than most people think. =) Walking did it for me. Running makes my heartrate soar!

12:35 pm

periwinkle

don';t know about hurshy, but sprite finished as usual

12:36 pm

One more clue? The first en6,18.

12:58 pm

oh my! I just looked at the tile and word stats... EVILEVEN? *sigh* better get the list fast.

gah... for a person who graduated with a degree in Rhetoric, I can't believe I didn't see those ORs...

ar 6/21 pls

12:59 pm

hurshy

ah, thanks vi

12:59 pm

bunnyvicious

en 6/18 - en + part of the plant that drinks water

1:00 pm

bunnyvicious

ar 6/12 - ar + you ***k yourself when shaving, add vowel

1:00 pm

pigeonman

Thanks bunny, but that's the last one. I need the first en6,18

1:00 pm

Vicuna

So congrats on your completion.

1:00 pm

hurshy

DRWED, please give me your opinion. i loved mccain when he ran in 2000, but have not been thrilled with how he's conducted himself during the present administration. i mean, i was pleased he got the prisoner treatments stuff through, but i also felt like he agreed with bush more than i expected. did he just HAVE to do that? what do you think we could expect from a president mccain?

1:00 pm

Strider

thks bunny. still trying to figure out vicuna's si 7 clue.

1:01 pm

cybernan

ar 6/18?

1:01 pm

redshoes

I like that ar 6. it's a homeopathic helper that makes bruises go away faster.

1:01 pm

stidmama

red, I was just about to say that! :-)

1:01 pm

redshoes

the ar 6/21 that is.

1:01 pm

stidmama

I keep a tube of it with my first aid kit, actually.

1:01 pm

pigeonman

Hurshy. If you don't know what to expect from a person, then he shouldn't be president.

1:01 pm

redshoes

=)

1:01 pm

bunnyvicious

sorry - en 6 - en + vowel + opp of brother

1:02 pm

cybernan

no idea redshoes -- not into medicines much

1:02 pm

hurshy

well you never REALLY know what to expect, with all the people spinning things... you have to cut through a lot of crap to figure out any politician

1:02 pm

DRWED

McCain did that because he wants the GOP nomination. You have to be conservative to get it...but if elected he will not govern that way. In that sense he is like Bill Clinton (ran as a conservative but governed like a liberal)

1:02 pm

Strider

nan - ar 6 = a word that means put on sacred oil, but change the first two consonants

1:02 pm

pigeonman

AMEN hurshy

1:03 pm

cybernan

ty strider

1:03 pm

bunnyvicious

si 7 - you ass for forgiveness of these + opp of more

1:03 pm

hurshy

i feel like '08 is going to be a tough choice. mccain, as i said, i loved. o'bama is great but can he handle the foreign policy stuff? he doesn't have much experience. i'm ambivalent about hillary. kind of like biden.

1:03 pm

pigeonman

67 to go. Gotta run. Thanks for the help

1:03 pm

bunnyvicious

I meant ask, not ass - SORRY!

1:03 pm

hurshy

i don't mean hillary is kind of like biden, i mean *i* kind of like biden.

1:03 pm

stidmama

later pigeon!

1:04 pm

Aloyisius

whatever, bunny... tyvm, I needed that. This grid is trying my patience.

1:04 pm

Strider

thks bunny and your word is part of one in the grid

1:04 pm

hurshy

i'd definitely like to see o'bama in there at some point, but maybe not this go-round.

1:05 pm

bunnyvicious

There are a lot of odd ones, but the same endings are getting passed around quite a bit.

1:05 pm

bunnyvicious

Is it a penalty if I don't say the whole word?

1:05 pm

chiley

Obama has more experience with the "outside world" than George did...at least he has travelled

1:05 pm

LoriP

Ack! There are re words.....

1:05 pm

cybernan

a's grey!!

1:06 pm

hurshy

yes but now the world is a heck of a lot more of a mess... and mccain clearly has a lot MORE experience...

1:06 pm

bunnyvicious

They aren't bad.

1:06 pm

DRWED

Obama has only been in Senate for two years (4 by time 08 rolls around). Plus, to win you have to at least split the south. The south will go heavily against him. Plus, his middle nameis Hussein.

1:06 pm

stidmama

No penalty unless you type the actual word, bunny. Though I don't think you would be penalized if you typed in the eleven...

1:06 pm

hurshy

the south is still... a problem.... like that?

1:07 pm

DRWED

If Obama gets DEM nomination, the GOP wins the general election. Same is true for Hilary

1:07 pm

chiley

as far as experience in dealing with the trouble spots, Richardson is head & shoulders above all the others....

1:07 pm

hurshy

how long do you think it would take before obama (right, no apostrophe, duh) COULD get the south?

1:07 pm

hurshy

who's richardson?

1:07 pm

DRWED

The south is better, but it is still a bit of a problem

1:07 pm

bunnyvicious

You need the 11? Visitors from another world + UN stands for United *

1:07 pm

TheFiz

i love bill richardson...mostly

1:08 pm

TheFiz

oh, uh, hi everyone!

1:08 pm

hurshy

so what dems do you think would stand a chance, DRWED?

1:08 pm

DRWED

Colin powell might could win the south. But the south is beoming more conservative

1:08 pm

stidmama

thanks bunny!

1:08 pm

bunnyvicious

Hi Fiz, adn Hursh and Stid for that matter...

1:08 pm

chiley

Bill Richardson is the gov. of New Mexico...was a UN ambassador, has negotiated with N. Korea, etc etc etc

1:08 pm

DRWED

It would have to be a moderate democrat, and there are fewer and fewer of those.

1:08 pm

stidmama

hey Fizzeroo! home from work already?

1:09 pm

stidmama

got your email, will respond soon...

1:09 pm

TheFiz

working from home today - writing a dastardly campaign plan and my brain is full :) so here i am.

1:09 pm

DRWED

Richardson is not as "eloquent" as Obama

1:09 pm

TheFiz

lol drwed - but is he as clean?

1:09 pm

stidmama

:-) Well you came to the right place to un-full your brain! LOL

1:10 pm

DRWED

ROTFL

1:10 pm

hurshy

i think we've lacked eloquence in politics for far too long, and that it really does make a difference. i think it is good for a pres to be able to use words to inspire people.

1:10 pm

hurshy

definitely want to see obama as president when the time is ripe.

1:10 pm

LoriP

Yea, I got all the al's by myself.

1:10 pm

DRWED

I tend to go the other way. Eloquent presidents get into trouble

1:11 pm

stidmama

good for you, Lori!

1:11 pm

Vicuna

But stupid presidents get the rest of us in trouble.

1:11 pm

hurshy

but, oh for the days of lincoln!

1:11 pm

hurshy

lol vi

1:11 pm

kittybat

amen to that. lol!

1:11 pm

DRWED

Clinton is a good example. Effective speaker, but used that for no good. As far as presidents go...he legacy adds up to nothing. He had a dep psychological need to be liked, which led him to not take on the tough issues.

1:11 pm

stidmama

ooh. I got a "pertinent" SA 7 all by myself! *happy smile*

1:11 pm

hurshy

ok, just to be realistic here, i don't see any way richardson can be president... he's too goofy looking.

1:12 pm

DRWED

George W. Bush, on the other hand, has no need to be liked, and he has taken on some difficult issues. Paid the price, but he does not feel it.

1:12 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm... I'm guessing I know how DrWed votes.

1:12 pm

hurshy

yeah but not all eloquent men are alike... i can't see obama having remotely similar problems to those clinton had.

1:12 pm

bunnyvicious

Think I'm gonna head to Sudoku then soak my sinuses in a steam bath, see ya'll tomorrow. Be good :)

1:12 pm

LoriP

Unfortunately, everyone else is feeling it.

1:12 pm

DRWED

I tend not to vote. I am a scholar, not an advocate

1:12 pm

stidmama

later bunny, feel better!

1:13 pm

DRWED

I meant, he is not feeling the heat from low approval

1:13 pm

hurshy

mccain obviously will take on tough issues.

1:13 pm

LoriP

Feel betetr soon bunny!

1:13 pm

Aloyisius

bye, bunny.. get better

1:13 pm

hurshy

but, that leads me to another question. can mccain - or anybody - actually perhaps accomplish MORE as a senator than as president?

1:14 pm

LoriP

There are 14 an words? Get outta' town.....

1:14 pm

DRWED

The only thing presidents do is exercise judgment, that is, make decisions. So, a candidate should be judged on their judgment. Have they a good record of judgment.

1:14 pm

hurshy

has the presidency perhaps become so much of a spin-game and balancing act that no president can really accomplish much of significance?

1:15 pm

TheFiz

or fail to exercise it, drwed!

1:15 pm

hurshy

well, i definitely felt, during the 2000 election, that i would trust mccain's judgment.

1:16 pm

DRWED

Every president since Eisenhower is considered a failure by historians and political scientists except for Reagan (whether you like his politics or not)

1:16 pm

stidmama

LOL Lori, I don't have the list yet, but not surprised... I am over 100 though, so it might be ti**

1:16 pm

TheFiz

i used to think the same about mccain, hursh, but he ran a moderate campaign in past years, and this year he's gone way right. so - not my politics, but I also hate political pandering. which makes voting difficult....

1:16 pm

hurshy

yeah, i know what you mean, fiz.

1:16 pm

Vicuna

Judgement, like luck and taste in clothing, comes in both good and bad.

1:17 pm

DRWED

Kennedy (who did not have much of a legislative legacy), LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter

1:17 pm

hurshy

this is great, it is so rare that we americans talk about politics like this.

1:17 pm

TheFiz

lol vic! how true!

1:17 pm

stidmama

(fortunately, all of us here are good in both!)

1:17 pm

DRWED

McCain has to do that to get the nomination. Staying liberal cost him the nomination in 1996 and 2000

1:18 pm

hurshy

so often when i want to just have a sensible discussion and consider things, people refuse to even talk about politics.

1:18 pm

DRWED

He has to establish his conservative credentials to get the nomination from Republicans

1:18 pm

TheFiz

part of my job is lobbying at the state level and it's totally gross - watching people we elect weasel out of making decisions, standing up for prinicple, doing something that they know is right but may be unpopular... and it's true across the board, regardless of politics.

1:18 pm

hurshy

yeah, i've been HOPING that's all it is...

1:18 pm

DRWED

Every candidate panders. They have to. The task is to evaluate sincerity

1:19 pm

stidmama

yes Fix, that was my experience as well. There are some good people in government, but unfortunately many if not most are pretty slimy.

1:19 pm

Vicuna

To be electable one must be unworthy of high office.

1:19 pm

stidmama

I think kid is being sick again. back soon.

1:19 pm

hurshy

kerry, i didn't get. i mean when i saw those videos of him talking about vietnam in his younger days, i was very impressed. and then as he was running for pres, i was like, where did THAT guy go? i'd elect him... but who is this?

1:19 pm

TheFiz

i think mccain, the "straight talk guy", has lost some sincerity in the last couple of years. and he's not very good at pandering either - it should at least look like you mean it :)

1:20 pm

DRWED

I tend to shy away from the ambitious. If they want office so bad that they run after only serving 1 term as mayor, governor, or senator, that kind of ambition disqualifies them in my view.

1:20 pm

hurshy

but fiz, it's kind of good that he's not good at pandering, don't you think? i mean the fact that he has trouble hiding what he really thinks means it is easier for us to tell what he really thinks.

1:20 pm

TheFiz

hurshy he was hiding on johnkerry.com - they put forth a wooden facimile who totally lacked the ability to speak in soundbites - a KEY skill for electability

1:21 pm

hurshy

no kidding. in the debates, sometimes, i was like, ok, good answer, now stop, and he'd keep talking for five more minutes or whatever.

1:21 pm

hurshy

he really should have had me to help him.

1:22 pm

TheFiz

hursh, I think mccain's getting confused about what he really thinks. and it's weird and icky to watch. and, if you want to run, of COURSE you have to pander - hopefully to folks with lots of $$ - but then they own you.

1:22 pm

DRWED

KISS --" Keep it simple stupid". Brevity is the key to effective communication.

1:22 pm

hurshy

of course, that backfired on gore with the whole "lockbox" thing...

1:22 pm

Vicuna

That's exactly the problem: keeping it stupid.

1:22 pm

DRWED

That is what I tell my students

1:23 pm

TheFiz

ROFL hursh! well said drwed! this is a skill i'm cultivating now in work - but breaking complex ideas into 8 sec. soundbites can be difficult. especially when you know "the american public" won't go elsewhere to flesh out their understanding.

1:24 pm

DRWED

Gore's problem is that Social Security was not the most important issue on people's mind. Plus he (and his party) had a lousy record re: keeping hands off social security fund.

1:24 pm

DRWED

He made the lcok box the center of his campaign.

1:24 pm

DRWED

That, plus inventing the internet. ANd thank God he did or we would not be able to enjoy or Babble

1:24 pm

hurshy

bush's presidency has been such a monumental shift for the republicans, fiscally...

1:25 pm

hurshy

they used to complain about "tax and spend" democrats and then bush comes in and spends without taxing...

1:25 pm

DRWED

The reasons the Republicans lost Congress in 06 is because they had gone to Washington to change it, but ended up getting changed by it.

1:25 pm

mcvels

unsa na?

1:26 pm

DRWED

They, too, could not resist the temptation to spend like drunken sailors

1:26 pm

TheFiz

so - from this discussion - we need a candidate who doesn't care much about anything (so they won't mind breaking it down to short but inaccurate soundbites). They must look smart, but be a little dim and malleable. They can't be ambitious, but can't be slackers. And they should have a track record of making executive decisions. Pronouncing words correctly is optional.

1:26 pm

superflippy

Hi, all. If I can interrupt the politics: how many words today?

1:26 pm

hurshy

um, so like bush but for the appearance of smartness thing...?

1:27 pm

DRWED for President! Running on a platform of equitable treatment by the Enable dictionary!

1:28 pm

hurshy

i'm a snob... i sort of think you should have to take some sort of quiz in order to be allowed to vote...

1:29 pm

hurshy

i can just see it ... the american public goes "the enable dictionary? huh? what's a dictionary?"

1:29 pm

DRWED

That is called a literacy test, and it is outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965

1:29 pm

hurshy

hey, it could be an oral quiz

1:29 pm

cybernan

2nd cl 7? -- please?

1:29 pm

TheFiz

hursh you get impeached for that.

1:30 pm

You would not want me as president. If I were president, Iraq would now be a parking lot.

they paved paradise...?
