cybernan

*grey

1:01 am

cybernan

try that again -- monkeyed it for a grey bottom row!

1:01 am

Tinascratch2

go nan!

1:02 am

mrpresident

no way! I rang the company and told them to get a clue... food tasting is food SAMPLING... we don't pay for samples.
They were very apologetic and 'oh it was a misunderstanding' and 'no need to worry about the bill'...
now what is a single word that means "telling someone to go to hell and making them feel like the journey there is going to be really great!"

1:03 am

Tinascratch2

um, could 'sarcasm', or maybe 'irony' fit the bill?

1:04 am

elinell

ty dcs finally got it.

1:04 am

mrpresident

nah, that's not the word... hmmm

1:05 am

Tinascratch2

I find it hard to believe that they would charge for a tasting without making it perfectly clear up front.

1:05 am

GroovyKiwi

woohooo i have found it the mi 9

1:05 am

mrpresident

they made nothing clear up front... no money or charges or anything of the sort was mentioned.

1:06 am

GroovyKiwi

ok dont shout at me - i meant the mi 9 lol

1:06 am

GroovyKiwi

grrrrr MI 8!!!!!!!

1:06 am

Tinascratch2

that's crazy. I know people who do priced tastings but the cost is always arranged well before.

hi, marmar. i have been here for about 5 years

1:19 am

Marmar

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Texan at heart and homesickness never goes away, you just get used to it.

1:20 am

Tinascratch2

Oh yes, I hear you about the scenery Marmar. There are a few beautiful places here, but they are scarce. Somehow I just keep loving Texas despite the heat, flatness, and bugs :)

1:21 am

Marmar

Fort Worth is awesome. always loved to visit there. Love the Amon Carter Museum.

1:21 am

Marmar

Where I am now is a little like the Hill Country in South Texas.

1:22 am

joey

i like Texas, but i miss the pretty of the northeast.

1:22 am

Tinascratch2

Yup, and there's a Cowgirl Museum too, now, right next to the Children's Museum, which is getting completely overhauled and will be open again in 2009.

1:22 am

Tinascratch2

The Hill Country is beautiful, I lived in Austin for a while and loved driving into the hills.

1:22 am

joey

wait, what is getting completely overhauled? i thought that is was the museum of science?

1:22 am

Marmar

See, I've been gone too long...Children's Museum???

Marmar

I'm in the same boat Question!

1:32 am

mrpresident

?mark, you should have seen most of us when we started... we cried and needed drugs

1:32 am

sprite

lol Mark... very common babble feeling. Is it a consolation if we admit that many valid babble words only pretend to be english?

1:32 am

QuestionMark

nite Tina. thanx for the encouragement

1:33 am

mrpresident

or a good bottle of chardonnay

1:33 am

Marmar

How long have you been playing Question? I think I've been here 6-8 weeks. Can't remember exactly.

1:38 am

QuestionMark

i'm thinking raki. everything can be possible with a few good shots of that

1:38 am

mrpresident

it is illegal in most countries! but it is illegal not to drug and intoxicate the monkey

1:38 am

sprite

And I am with Mark on the raki.

QuestionMark

1:51 am

sprite

I love fire so much, joso, that I don't mind :)

1:52 am

sprite

I checked the link you sent me, JoSo, but it gives no info after the package left the country. Elvis has left the building... but where is he now? ;)

1:56 am

joso

yes, I'm afraid that's all the link may show

1:57 am

joso

would be nice if it gave the name of the ship or other details for the kids to track

1:57 am

sprite

it is not a problem, JoSo, we will wait and look forward to receiving it... lots of fun before even getting it :D

1:57 am

sprite

oh yes, that would be great indeed!

1:58 am

joso

maybe it will tall when the parcel has made port, or maybe no info at all after it's left Canada

1:58 am

phantom nimrod

2:06 am

jillibus

how's the grid? I haven't really looked at it yet

2:07 am

sprite

I am finding it tough, jilli. I am not even halfway and really struggling.

2:12 am

dcseain

2:12 am

jillibus

2:14 am

dcseain

2:15 am

sprite

jilli, you know karma, the sum of all deeds in former lifes... and then the other word, for the current life.

2:15 am

joso

who's keeping that list, and how do you bribe them

2:15 am

sprite

*grins evilly at JoSo*

2:15 am

2:16 am

jillibus

Santa, joso

2:16 am

3:55 am

dcseain

mrp, google ads on ur email inclued airfare to austrailia, cigars and supplies, and a sit in VIetnamese. :)

3:55 am

FranMag

also, for staging for the open house, sometimes rental furniture is used.

3:56 am

dcseain

often times, fran, at least here.

3:56 am

mrpresident

I don't think I can fake a lounge though fran :) I really need one in the room. We had to dispose of the others as they had gone to hell in a handbag and couldn't be resurrected.
I hope I can get rental furniture before friday... (good idea)

3:56 am

dcseain

usually supplied by realtor or realty firm.

5:07 am

movieman

5:07 am

lshult

mi8= to wrongly direct

5:07 am

bbnaz

8 = incorrect recommendation

5:07 am

movieman

ty

5:09 am

bbnaz

so is it naughty to get close to finishing and then transfering ovef to babble expert to see the "improved" fireworks?

5:10 am

lynxxx

doesn't everyone do that bbnaz?

5:10 am

herinfernallady

no not at all

5:10 am

bbnaz

dunno. this is the first time i have tried the expert

5:12 am

lynxxx

I usually do as much as I can 'old style' but when I need the list go to BabbleExpert - but everyone works their own way

5:12 am

NonoNanette

bb i use bb exclusively just close off lickety's list until i am ready to use it

5:12 am

bbnaz

seeing how it took my daughter to show me how to open up the file in the first place. poor lickety, i think he was ready to tell me to just use his simple list.

5:12 am

lshult

don't mean to sound stupid, but what do you mean by "babble expert"???

5:13 am

NonnieLight

I use expert the entire time but work the puzzle without the clues until I just can't get any further.

5:13 am

NonoNanette

it is a beta version that lickety programed ishult

5:13 am

lynxxx

Oh ishult! you must get it...email Lickety (contact on his list) you'll love it!

5:13 am

NonoNanette

has everything on one page and so simple to use

5:14 am

NonnieLight

It has and "add a word or chat" area and also the clues are shown off to one side.

5:14 am

NonoNanette

eliminates the problem of typing in the wrong box too

5:14 am

movieman

I never use the ordinary version of Babble anymore.....

5:14 am

lynxxx

and adds the word to the Wod List and Clue List similtaneously

5:14 am

bbnaz

that is the most favorite part for me. the "add a clue" button

5:14 am

NonnieLight

Same here, bb

5:14 am

6:09 am

Tiny

Tiny

6:10 am

Jacula

Fine thanks, Tiny. Just trying to get the chutney smell out of the house. I made 12lbs of tomato chutney yesterday (half green and half red). The boiling of vinegar and spices had the whole family complaining. LOL.

6:10 am

lil*monkey

hello Babblers! Anyone have the fe7,44 ???

6:10 am

Tiny

Yuck LOL

6:11 am

Jacula

bb - there were a couple of racecourses in the photos. Are far as I know the horses weren't there.

6:11 am

bbnaz

fe7.44 not masculine with an additional vowel at end

6:12 am

bbnaz

water is every bit as frightening as fire in my opinion but then I live in the desert where when there is enough rain, it just roars.

6:12 am

Frances

The video screen just came up. Seems to have been something with polar bears but say that this video is no longer available! Off I go to sudoku. See you tomorrow.

6:12 am

Jacula

'Bye, Frances.

6:13 am

Tiny

Bye Frances

6:13 am

lil*monkey

TY bbnaz :)

6:14 am

Jacula

bb - I agree, having had my home flooded 4, almost 5 times, in the past and, through that, now having no flood insurance. So, any build up of water now terrifies me.

6:14 am

Tiny

I am going too been here for a while but in the background

6:22 am

inge

Aren't we having closed captions here, Haz?

6:22 am

Scarlet

No, that doesn't appeal to me, inge, either... but, I think I will go on the net to find some recipe that goes "AH!" to my head?

6:23 am

Scarlet

I made a corned beef brisket yesterday and created a corned beef hash for the family... they love it, but it's a ton of work.

6:23 am

6:25 am

Scarlet

Chiley, we love grits, but I've yet to try the cheddar shrimp and grits I see on so many menus here...daughter says it's so good...

6:25 am

inge

Funny, my mother wrote down mostly post WWII recipees with limited ingredients

6:25 am

inge

She kept all the others in her head

6:26 am

8:43 am

carleekat

8:43 am

Scarlet

Inge, we have to go vote fairly soon, so, if you post that recipe, will you be on later in the afternoon for me to copy it?

8:44 am

Scarlet

Kattie... with the 45 minutes of sleep you've been averaging a night... your poor, overstressed body just had to take what it needed. No guilt allowed! :-)

8:44 am

inge

Scarlet, I will add it to my bio, so dont worry. No voting in our town, though all the neighboring communities are going to the polls

8:45 am

Scarlet

Thank you so much, inge. That is very kind of you.

dcseain

8:45 am

carleekat

8:55 am

Aloyisius

9:00 am

Scarlet

I bet... that's just about right in development... are you going to be Grandma, then, Aloy?

9:00 am

Aloyisius

? Scarlet? Sorry..

9:01 am

Scarlet

I had asked you about what name you wanted to be called by Mia... and you hadn't quite thought about it then....

9:02 am

Aloyisius

ooh, lol, now i remember.. grandma is fine with me.. when she gets older, she will probably come up with her own name for me.. i like grandma!

9:03 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:03 am

Aloyisius

do your grandkids call you grandma, Scarlet?

9:03 am

Scarlet

I am Baba, and beloved is Paca to all of the grands, Aloy.

9:04 am

Aloyisius

Wow, kat... see what some rest can do? I am just poking along....

carleekat

that all I am doing..poking...

9:13 am

Aloyisius

lotta weirdo words today..

9:14 am

Scarlet

Random question: Babble is the source of the greatest advice. I get tons of garbage e-mail in my bulk file that I never open... things such as "Crush Alert", "Hot Pix Just For You" and appeals from a Ponzi scheme (my opinion) for safe banking from African nations... How in the world do I get away from all that crapola?

9:14 am

dcseain

i found tz 7, that was fun. :)

9:15 am

Scarlet

Right, dc!! :-)

9:15 am

carleekat

is it in your yahoo red?

9:15 am

Scarlet

Yes, kat.

9:15 am

inge

Babblers, I need some advice. I am cutting up my pumpkin and cooking it for future pies. Forgot what to do with the seeds, Any help?

9:15 am

carleekat

yahoo has screens... an allow list..

9:16 am

dcseain

never open it, never respond to it, just delete it, it will trickle off. Try to obscure your email addy as much as possible. That's about all you can do, Scarlet.

9:16 am

Aloyisius

my daughter switched to gmail because of that, Scarlet.. :-(

9:16 am

Scarlet

Rinse, de-fiber them, let dry, and put in a slow oven with a touch of salt, inge.

9:16 am

dcseain

gmail's filters are spectacular, i check my spam folder regularly, as sometimes it catches an item i want. Only very rarely does something i don't want end up in my inbox.

9:17 am

inge

thanks scarlet

9:17 am

dcseain

i use my yahoo acct only when signing up with a site i think may sell my data

9:17 am

carleekat

I don't get the crap mail cus of filters in "my account settings"

9:17 am

Scarlet

Thank you, kat and dc... I am so afraid of viruses, in spite of certain firewalls.. but I get so fed up with the sexual nature of some of the teaser heads... are our kids subjected to this junk, too?

9:17 am

Aloyisius

yup, a spamblocker is important, nowadays

9:18 am

dcseain

sometimes, scarlet, based on questions i've heard friends' kids ask.

9:18 am

Scarlet

Thank you, all. I will get ambitious with researching my Dell's filters, as well as what this has to offer in terms of protection.

9:20 am

Fiber Art

speaking of pumpkins--is there a difference between a pie pumpkin and a carving pumpkin? Are both edible? Good morning all!

9:21 am

Scarlet

Yes, a big difference, Fiber... and good morning!

9:21 am

Aloyisius

hi Fiber.. yes, the meat is different

9:21 am

Scarlet

Pie pumpkins are more dense.. the meat is less fibrous and sweeter.

9:21 am

periwinkle

Hello all

9:21 am

dcseain

fiber, interchangeable, size only difference, really.

9:21 am

Scarlet

Hello, Peri!!

9:22 am

Fiber Art

How can you tell? I started to carve one, and my daughter in law said it was a pie pumpkin, so I cooked it. Haven't eaten any yet.

9:22 am

dcseain

pie ones have a moister, less fibrous flesh, but i've used both in pies and savory dishes with success

9:22 am

doxy1lover

they are both edible

9:22 am

Fiber Art

I guess it won't kill us then!

9:22 am

Aloyisius

hi, peri!

9:22 am

crpw48

goodmorning all

9:22 am

doxy1lover

hi and by all. going to sign my new job contract. see you later.

9:22 am

dcseain

hi, doxy

9:23 am

Scarlet

For savory, yes... little difference... for pies, the brightly-darker-skinned pumpkins are the ones to look for! Later, doxy and good luck!!

9:23 am

Scarlet

Hi, crpw!!

9:23 am

dcseain

morning, crpw

9:23 am

Aloyisius

Terrific Tues. to you, crpw

9:23 am

Fiber Art

Well, then, it was a pie pumpkin, all right. No cooking going on these days, the kitchen is being painted. What a mess.

9:24 am

Fiber Art

Slow painter, meticulous to a fault.

9:24 am

Scarlet

Oh, still, Fiber? I would go mildly insane if I were not granted access to my household temple... LOL

9:24 am

crpw48

hydra

Hi everyone. Anyone got a clue for the fe7?

9:28 am

dcseain

lady-like w/out the last cons

9:29 am

dcseain

wb, hydra

9:29 am

periwinkle

hi hydra, do not have any 7's or the 8 yet

9:29 am

Aloyisius

opp of masculine but eliminate a consonant at the end

9:29 am

Scarlet

Is anyone interested in a pumpkin bisque recipe... I can key it in... it calls for calabaza pumpkins... or kabocha pumpkins. Hi, hydra!

9:29 am

hydra

Thanks very much!

9:29 am

dcseain

sounds delish, scarlet.

9:30 am

Scarlet

It is... and rich, too. Cream, butter, leeks, chicken stock...

9:30 am

Aloyisius

fireworks and time for some waffles.. will be back later to clue if anyone would like a hint.. bye for now, Babblers!

9:31 am

Scarlet

Do you want me to e-mail it to you, dc? Yahoo for Aloy!

9:31 am

hydra

No, can't get it. It's the 7/44, and 3rd letter must be a vowel otherwise it won't fit before the next word. (If you see what I mean!)

9:31 am

dcseain

hasta, aloyisius

9:31 am

hydra

Oh no, I've got it wrong. Sorrreeee!

9:31 am

dcseain

fe7/44 - not masculine, but fe---------, less the last consonant

9:32 am

dcseain

:)

9:32 am

hydra

Got it now thank, dc

9:32 am

cool girl

dc can i have some clues 4 the hax3 and the ho please

9:33 am

dcseain

we are all ho7s, each and every one of us

9:33 am

dcseain

ho7 - human-like

9:34 am

dcseain

last he4/6 + not out, plus vowel for 1st 7, plus plural for 2nd

9:34 am

Scarlet

Thank you, Mr. dc!!

9:35 am

dcseain

ha7/36 is plural of ha6/24, which builds on ha4/6 before in same pattern as the other

9:36 am

dcseain

was that helpful, cool?

9:36 am

dcseain

much moisture was involved in our walk today, in the shape of the sea

10:33 am

Buttonman

thanks, Padrek

10:34 am

Haz1558

You couldn't get much more moisture than the sea, that's true.

10:34 am

debjed

clue for the mi8/60?

10:35 am

Haz1558

It uses the same prefix as mi7 (shortened spinster's address) and would be used talking of someone giving wrong directions, or wrong information.

10:37 am

debjed

QuestionMark

this cannot be possible to find 80more words

11:04 am

Haz1558

I suppose I should start shuffling in the direction of the kitchen to get the evening meal under way.

11:05 am

Haz1558

QUestion - bear in mind that some of the words are not in normal usage! If you want to get further help, Lickety's list or BJ's list are very helpful. But don't feel you have to finish. This is a tough grid today.

11:05 am

Atalante

Spangle will thank you. I mean, your husband will thank you

11:05 am

Takuma Sato

Good afternoon, folks

11:05 am

Haz1558

Hello Takuma.

11:05 am

Takuma Sato

I think finishing is never imperative

11:06 am

Takuma Sato

I think we're the silent majority ;)

11:06 am

Haz1558

Not unless you want to be a Babbler of Glory.

11:06 am

joso

lickey's clues can help ?mark, haveing the first 2 letters help alot, many do the first 1/2 without clues , then go to lickety, then ack for clues for the last few

11:06 am

joso

hi Takuma

11:06 am

Takuma Sato

*gasp* I had no idea there was such a title

11:06 am

Atalante

there is now!

11:06 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, Takuma, it's eagerly fought over.

11:07 am

QuestionMark

is this a more difficult assortment than normal?

11:07 am

doxy1lover

Babbler of Glory!!!!

11:07 am

QuestionMark

i sort of don't want to look at the clues

11:07 am

Takuma Sato

looks about average for its size, QM

11:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, Question, there are more strange words than usual, I'd say.

11:08 am

joso

no, always has some words verry obscure

11:08 am

Haz1558

The clues only give second letters and values, you still have to find them.

11:08 am

joso

you get to know the short wierd words after time

11:09 am

QuestionMark

interesting game. good for english vocab

11:09 am

Haz1558

Howabout Babbler of Renowned Excellence? Problem is, BOG and BORE don't sound so good....

11:09 am

Takuma Sato

are you a native speaker, QM?

11:09 am

Haz1558

And you get to know the weird babblers even quicker.

11:09 am

cybernan

11:09 am

Atalante

11:11 am

Haz1558

Darn. I've given Atalante yet more to be smug about....... Byee!

11:50 am

Vicuna

Mine, Ata? It's called "Cat Attack!"

11:51 am

Atalante

its FAB!

11:51 am

Vicuna

Oh, a little refreshing and I see that you have a very funny icon yourself, today.

11:51 am

Vicuna

We're obviously doing a mini cat theme, here.

11:51 am

Atalante

*not* my own work LOL but so funny

11:52 am

Vicuna

True of me, and doubly true of some others in in the chat!

11:52 am

Atalante

triply even I think ;)

11:53 am

Vicuna

lol

11:55 am

Vicuna

You were away with your sister a few days ago?

11:55 am

Atalante

yup, went up to do a week's looking after :)

11:55 am

Vicuna

How is she doing?

11:56 am

Atalante

she's been desperately needing a blood transfusion for weeks and she's finally getting it tomorrow, so things are looking up!

11:56 am

Vicuna

Oh, I'm glad to hear it!

11:57 am

Atalante

me too! she was *not* well last week. its scary, you pinch her fingertips and no blood flows back

11:58 am

Vicuna

Not a good sign. After the transfusion, how long-term a fix is that?

11:58 am

caitlyn

Afternoon all........
Ata sorry to hear your sister isnt well

11:58 am

Atalante

a few months. she needs one every 2 or 3 months at the moment

11:59 am

Atalante

its a very long and ongoing story, cait!

11:59 am

Vicuna

That's hard. It seems as if you don't get much relief in between getting one and starting to worry about when the next will come.

12:00 pm

cybernan

re 6 (first one)?

12:00 pm

caitlyn

I have been in and out quickly lately so havent had time to chat Ata

12:01 pm

Vicuna

My first is re6/27 - marijuana or tropical coral resident, but I'm missing lots still

12:01 pm

cybernan

there's one before that vicuna -- following what you do with a book

12:01 pm

Atalante

no, vi. its not fun. the problems come because she's so hard to get a transfusion into (she ends up with a central line each time) that her drs try to focus all their work on her at time of transfusions. and that just went haywire this time, whih led to such a big delay

12:02 pm

Vicuna

I'm looking, cyber!

12:02 pm

caitlyn

Hi nan use the first 3 letters of the 1st re4 and add a drop of the hard stuff!!

12:02 pm

cybernan

that doesn't sound good Atalante -- sorry to hear it

12:03 pm

Vicuna

That stinks.

12:03 pm

caitlyn

Does she live near you Ata?

12:03 pm

cybernan

ty cait -- we've had that before too -- must be wearing out that fish!

12:03 pm

caitlyn

YW nan

12:04 pm

Atalante

she lives about 3 hours drive away, not far luckily

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Does she live alone most of the time?

12:06 pm

Atalante

no, she can't live on her own now. She lives with mother

12:06 pm

Vicuna

That's good. I mean, not that she can't, but that she has someone to live with.

12:07 pm

caitlyn

Its so worrying for you all ..

12:07 pm

Atalante

oh yes. its sad though, she's really coming to realise now that she *can't* manage without help. Its sad

12:08 pm

caitlyn

Do you know what her illness is..dont worry if you dont want to say

12:08 pm

Vicuna

That is very tough. It adds so much emotional frustration on top of the physical frustration.

12:09 pm

cybernan

sr 6?

12:09 pm

Atalante

oh, its Crohns with a huge variety of side-effects on top. It seems to be attacking pretty much everything in her body, rather randomly. Bones, muscles, organs, you name it

12:09 pm

Sheenah

Hi Amanda! Hi Matt :)

12:10 pm

caitlyn

Thats a tough thing to live with ..

12:10 pm

Atalante

very. I dont know how she does it

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

i am at odd with the grid today...or more specifically, with enable!
is "hoisin" a proprer noun? as in "hoisin sauce"
and what about "smore" -- i know ive been able to eat just one!

;)

12:11 pm

Vicuna

And tough for you and the rest of the family, too, of course. Hang in there.

12:12 pm

Atalante

oh we do. we're "used" to it now, it;s just a fact of life

12:12 pm

Vicuna

Enable's selection of foreign words is so arbitrary, EvaN!

12:13 pm

caitlyn

nan thats tough to clue but here goes...sr plus the letters for after Christ and add a short laugh

12:13 pm

Atalante

and mirin should be allowed too!

12:13 pm

caitlyn

Hi Eva

12:13 pm

carra

smore is s'more ( some more) :)

12:14 pm

Vicuna

I was thinking that if there are diarists, don't they believe in diarism?

12:14 pm

carra

angelinaxox

bye inge

3:30 pm

Scarlet

Person of mystery, eh? Hmmm , why then, does bubba say "Hi, Krista"... ? I was an investigative reporter in the old days!@!

3:31 pm

scribekd

Thank you both so very much! It was my last word, too, so you helped me get the fireworks. You're both wonderful.

3:31 pm

Krista

Because I am always teasing Bubba about his/her "revealing" profile. :)

3:31 pm

angelinaxox

congrats scribe

3:32 pm

Scarlet

Then you aren't THE Krista? LOL Well done scribe!!

3:32 pm

bubba218

Krista had commented that I put too much info in my bio, so I wanted to be less verbose, so the reference to Krista was added

Scarlet

periwinkle

Hi all, back to find my last 28

hi peri

3:32 pm

Scarlet

Well, human being DOES overdo it a bit, bubba!!

3:33 pm

Krista

I said Bubba better be careful about revealing all that personal info. I love reading the profiles..there is such a variety of what people want to share.

3:33 pm

bubba218

Maybe I should just delete all reference to my species?

3:33 pm

Krista

Hi Peri

3:33 pm

Scarlet

Too late! We already have a clue, bubba!

3:34 pm

bubba218

You are making a major assumption, I have been called things that would put a doubt on my species

3:35 pm

bubba218

Since I don't have the most complete bio on the site, I am open to answer whatever you want to know

3:35 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Krista... I do, too. People are very interesting creatures... Sorry to hear that, bubba... HO7/40 close enough for you, then? LOL

3:35 pm

Krista

I'd ask you to share, Bubba, but I'm sure that's out of the question. ;)

3:35 pm

Krista

oh, maybe not

3:35 pm

Scarlet

Age, what medical school, field of specialty, and color of eyes...

3:35 pm

bubba218

shoot Krista, give me a question

3:36 pm

bubba218

eyes: Hazel, school NY Medical College, specialty: orthopedic surgery

3:36 pm

Krista

Contrary to my joking around,I really don't like to pry.

3:37 pm

Krista

Do your patients call you Bubba?

3:37 pm

Mom

Hi everyone xx

Jawas have long been scavengers, as the Dune Sea provides a bounty of refuse. It is littered with derelict spacecraft wreckage from millennia of star travel. The Jawas have built homes and tools from these ancient scraps, and travel the dunes in sandcrawlers, cast-off mobile smelters from failed outlander mining attempts.

4:32 pm

mrpresident

they wear brown robes and have their faces masked
