lynxxx

I realise that you still care. There seems to be a lot of 'touchy' people around on Babble lately

2:14 am

sprite

I do care, a lot.
And yes, you are right, and I am one of them. But always willing to solve things... that is the lining of my dark cloud

OMaraM07

Night sprite, thanks for the clue earlier. :)

2:33 am

frantique

sighs.. 155 left

2:34 am

Flask1

I was just looking back on chat there....yes people are offended...when they are CONSTANTLY ignored by the same people over and over again...its called babble snobbery!!

2:34 am

frantique

awww

2:35 am

frantique

hugs everyone

2:35 am

lynxxx

hmmm - hockey sticks - ? - a clue or more memories of yr schooldays FM?

2:35 am

frantique

i sneak in sometimes and just play and leave. I hope no one thinks i'm a snob

2:36 am

FMitch

*shudders at school memories* hockey stick are the letter L I have been reliably informed.

2:36 am

Flask1

not at all Frantique!!

2:36 am

frantique

:-)

2:37 am

Flask1

Am really refering to those of us who pick and choose who is or is not worthy of a reply....and try to influence others....

2:37 am

FMitch

I hopeyou didn't miss my greeting Flask

2:37 am

lynxxx

Flask - I just see people not 'making allowances' for others and getting way too uptight. there is always another side to the story.

2:38 am

frantique

aww thats not nice. I saw some bullying going on here one day . why do people have to be so mean

2:38 am

Flask1

Don't worry they know who they are!!.....Yes FMitch, I saw you, sorry!

2:38 am

lynxxx

L for hockey sticks - makes sense, hadn't seen that one

2:38 am

OMaraM07

Sense of entitlement they feel they deserve for playing here longer?

2:38 am

OMaraM07

I've noticed how some people ignore requests for help by some people.

2:39 am

frantique

there was a topic of online bullies on one of the talk shows the other day, and how it has caused some teens to comit suicide !!

2:39 am

OMaraM07

That's a shame.

2:39 am

FMitch

mmmm breakfast BRB

2:39 am

frantique

a dozen years ago I was online and in a fragile state and i had two women pick me apart. I cried!!!!

2:39 am

Flask1

Oh yes, and, sadly the longer some of them have been babblling, the more important they think they are!!

2:40 am

frantique

brb i need water

2:40 am

OMaraM07

What's the point of online fighting? A vast majority of the time you're talking to someone you will never see.

2:41 am

lynxxx

Ignoring requests for clues is a hard one - many reasons why people can't clue - no time, not there, don't have the word etc etc

2:41 am

Flask1

Frantique, a Very long time babbler had me in tears, when I first started, couldn't believe it!

2:43 am

Flask1

Sometimes people pop-in and say Hi...and then switch the chat off....as I do......and then don't see anyone talking to them, till its too late!

2:44 am

frantique

i'm sometimes trying sooooooooo hard to find words i forget there is chat LOL

2:44 am

lynxxx

I used to get offended pretty often but I have learned not to take things to heart here. Other babblers are rarely intentionally rude, the vast majority are kindness personified

2:44 am

frantique

hugs flask. I know the feeling. And then some people think this is just cyber world.. HEY we're REAL

2:45 am

frantique

also ... there are cultural differences.. I know i'm american and my hubby is british and often i dont know when he's kidding being sarcastic or for real LOL

2:46 am

lynxxx

good point FranT

2:46 am

frantique

its extra hard when you can't see eachothers faces

2:47 am

Flask1

thanks frantique.....Lynxxx its just a small minority that do it, but believe me its always the SAME minority.......who in other quarters are extremely popular!!

2:47 am

frantique

I was just out for drinks. This woman i sort of know just got a job as a barmaid localy.. it funny what a reputation she's gotten and it turns out most of the stories about her are not true.. its said that people spread stories

2:48 am

Flask1

or so they think!

2:49 am

Flask1

Gossip is a dreadful thing!

2:49 am

Flask1

anyway, can anyone clue me on pi4/5 please...the last one!!

2:49 am

frantique

yup.. but it is sort of human nature. Just some take it a step too far and hurt

2:49 am

lynxxx

It always gets twisted a bit as it goes around too - dangerous stuff

2:50 am

Flask1

true!

2:50 am

frantique

sorry i dont have the pi word

2:50 am

lynxxx

last one I have is pi + **lar energy is the way of the future

2:51 am

FMitch

No words at all here (on many levels)

2:51 am

lynxxx

such willpower FM

2:51 am

Flask1

lol.....

2:51 am

OMaraM07

i have the same one lynxxx has as the last pi

2:52 am

FMitch

lol

2:52 am

Flask1

lynxxx....don't understand clue

2:53 am

frantique

i think i understand the clue but can't figure it out

2:53 am

lynxxx

pi & **lar - as in the sun

2:53 am

frantique

sun energy

2:53 am

FMitch

put **lar panels on yr roof to save energy?

2:53 am

OMaraM07

its very similar to the spanish coin

2:53 am

Flask1

oh...sorry!........thanks!

2:54 am

westford

I've just been catching up on the chat after doing a million things I had no idea everyone on here was a real person

2:54 am

FMitch

See how babble sucks you in so gently you don't notice!! I will resist. Must get work action list sorted.

2:55 am

lynxxx

yw...I should have used the Leaning Tower of Pi** (and change last vowel)

2:55 am

frantique

3:18 am

westford

hi woof

3:18 am

sunny09

what???? glad i missed those too. Hey moon

3:18 am

moonwoof

I believe Sprite said she almost fainted.

3:19 am

moonwoof

Hiya Sunny

3:19 am

moonwoof

And west =)

3:19 am

sunny09

I'm not suprised lol

3:19 am

moonwoof

Especially since the clues and lickety's list are somewhat recent addidtions to the puzzle solving.

3:20 am

moonwoof

I guess fainting somewhat emmulates laying down lol

3:21 am

moonwoof

Oh And since we've had a recent influx of tangler's to make us feel plodding =D

3:22 am

westford

not me I plod right along

3:22 am

moonwoof

Which I adore you for, west =)

3:22 am

westford

speed is not my high point

3:22 am

westford

oh thank you lol

3:23 am

moonwoof

Accuracy has it's very good place here, I think =)

3:24 am

moonwoof

Dart and his little robo-monkies on the other hand.... might make even Me feel inadequate some day LOL

3:24 am

westford

dart is fast and good

3:24 am

westford

or is that good and fast

3:25 am

moonwoof

Sure. Either one really has me beat most days. I blame his monkies.

3:26 am

moonwoof

And I'm pretty sure I'm only going to owe him a case of beer by this fall. He doesnt even take bribery.

3:26 am

westford

but if he goes too fast he might melt

3:27 am

moonwoof

Ooo. Good point. Then there's still hope. He'll melt his keyboard! YEAH!!

3:27 am

moonwoof

Then I'll just have to make sure sunny doesn't lend him any Ice cream....

3:28 am

westford

I can just picture it

3:28 am

westford

sunny wouldn't do that

3:28 am

westford

she might pour brandy sauce on his keys though if we ask nicely

3:28 am

sunny09

oh I'm sure a tray of icecream cookies would slow him down a bit :)

3:28 am

moonwoof

me too =) Him staring at it, and his little robo-monkies hopping up and down on it like a samsonite commercial LOL

3:29 am

moonwoof

I wish, sunny. Unless those are either beer or wing flavored =P

3:29 am

westford

LOL

3:29 am

herinfernallady

hi

3:29 am

moonwoof

The only times I Ever beat him are on "beer and wing night"

3:29 am

westford

hi herin been missing you

3:29 am

sunny09

especially if his fingers were so cold they stuck to the keys...

3:29 am

moonwoof

Hiya herin

3:29 am

moonwoof

Still bouncing?

3:29 am

sunny09

hey Herin!!

3:30 am

moonwoof

Hmm. That's not a half bad plan, either, sunny... We'll have to work on it.

3:30 am

moonwoof

How cold do your fingers have to be to stick to plastic??

3:31 am

moonwoof

Maybe, put glue in the ice sammies...

3:31 am

westford

that's a good question

3:31 am

herinfernallady

Probably

3:31 am

jazflyn

holy moly sunny, i live on the darling downs and just finished the Eyre Affair. Are you my long lost twin i never knew i had?

3:31 am

moonwoof

Anyone know of a beer flavored glue?

3:31 am

sunny09

no no, the brandy sauce would have to be thick enough to gum the keys and then set and catch his cold fingers

3:31 am

herinfernallady

No idea. I am eating dinner after Yoga. Im so tired

3:32 am

westford

all beer tastes like glue to me

3:32 am

3:40 am

westford

3:43 am

3:43 am

Flask1

Hi Doc!

5:50 am

herinfernallady

Kristin i was 2 months premie and 5 pounds.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

35 wks is not super early, so the baby should do well, but let's hope so.

5:50 am

KristineNas

My middle one was 37 weeks and 4 lbs 12 ounces. But Emma will only be about e and a half pounds !!

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Pink!!

5:50 am

KristineNas

5:50 am

pinkhatlil

hi scrabbler!!

5:51 am

Scrabbler

That is small for 35 wks.

5:51 am

KristineNas

Yes it is

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Has the pregnancy been going OK so far?

5:52 am

KristineNas

physically ok , but she was going through some stuff , so the added stress didn't help

5:52 am

Scrabbler

"ipod" is not an accepted word--haha

5:53 am

KristineNas

But they said the baby's lungs are fine and Lyn said they didn't give her any steroids , just antibiotics so that's a good sign

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I will be back here tonight...will you be checking in here to give us info? (Please?)

5:54 am

SaddySolar

5:54 am

Scrabbler

You're in Burlington, right?

5:55 am

SaddySolar

speaking of pregnancies.... do you guys have folklore and old wives tales in your parts of the world on how pregnant women should be extra careful when theres an eclipse????

5:55 am

KristineNas

2 hours south , in Rutland

5:55 am

KristineNas

I have never heard of that Ssddy

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Nope, Saddy--not that I have ever heard.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Is there a premie nursery in Rutland, or do sick babies get shipped to Burlington?

5:56 am

KristineNas

NO she will be shipped to Burlington if anything , or Dartmouth

5:57 am

SaddySolar

aah... theres a solar eclipse tomorrow ... and my MIL is after me to stay in bed the whole time its there... says its better to be safe than sorry

5:58 am

Scrabbler

I would love to stay in bed all day, so do it, LOL.

5:58 am

KristineNas

Well it's best to do what's said Saddy and stay put i suppose

5:58 am

lynxxx

Does anyone want any clues before I head off?

5:58 am

SaddySolar

and there all kinds of old superstitious relatives filling her in about how if i cut something the child will have a cleft lip etc etc etc

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Just nod and say, "Yes, Mum."

5:59 am

KristineNas

no ty lynn

5:59 am

SaddySolar

yeah... but still.. i am not superstitious but as long it keeps her mind at ease

5:59 am

Scrabbler

6:14 am

LoriP

Take care pink, see ya' later! G'd morning Haz, awesome to see you on so early. I'm not liking the looks of this grid so far.

6:14 am

LoriP

Busy grids? :-)

6:14 am

Haz1558

Hello France, Uniquity et al. It just has an abundance of not familiar to me words.

6:15 am

LoriP

At 25 pitiful words, Lickety's is calling to me, nay, shouting.....

6:15 am

Uniquity

Do you delight in torture, Lori?

6:16 am

Haz1558

First the yelling potatoes, now a shouting list.

6:16 am

LoriP

On certain occasions, yes it appeals to my latent masochistic tendencies.

6:16 am

lshult

only found a single u (um4/7) so far!!!!!!!

6:16 am

Uniquity

I'm afraid to try and change my icon, lest babble go crazy on me again...maybe I will stay cheesecakey for ever.

6:16 am

Haz1558

There are worse things to have as your icon, Uniquity.

6:17 am

lshult

make that 2, just spotted up5/14

6:17 am

LoriP

I'm not totally heartless, I said a small eulogy at the potato slaughter.

6:17 am

Haz1558

Some of the other up words have a degree of movement about them, ishult.

6:17 am

Uniquity

This is true...but I like changing it! It just doesn't seem to agree with babble to do so.

6:17 am

LoriP

Yea Ishult! go go go!

6:18 am

LoriP

Cheesecake can never be a bad thing.

6:18 am

Haz1558

LoriP

Uniquity

6:22 am

8:15 am

montreal13

EvaNadine

8:19 am

Scarlet

I lived there, Luc... (during the Bay of Pigs incident) for a few years, and saw, first-hand, how inattentive the process was to clean extractions and healthy refining (what an oxymoron)

8:20 am

nancethefan

8:25 am

8:25 am

Aloyisius

back with some zapped leftover spaghetti.. yummy bfast!

8:25 am

SamanthaJoy

This one is making me kinda crazy. My guy is losing mostly because of the superdelegates, which system I have never liked but now I'm screaming at the radio.

8:26 am

SamanthaJoy

cnn.com has them on the front page, montreal

8:26 am

Scarlet

Mr. McCain did very well on the R side, and Sens. Clinton and Obama virtually tied in the popular vote and caucuses...

8:26 am

EvaNadine

so many *brilliant* people in MD, DC< and VA were inundating their registrars offices with phone calls yesterday wondering why their polling locations werent open...

our primaries arent until next week!

8:26 am

Scarlet

Good brekkie, Aloy... I love it too!

8:26 am

SamanthaJoy

LMAO

8:26 am

SamanthaJoy

My icon says it all to that one, Eva

8:26 am

montreal13

tx scarlet

8:27 am

EvaNadine

hints for the U or i in the 4th column?

8:28 am

Aloyisius

ahh, spaghetti power helped me find fo + opp of early and its plural..

8:28 am

NonoNanette

214 and I be done!

8:28 am

Aloyisius

congrats, Nono.. yay!

8:28 am

SamanthaJoy

Wow. Congratulations!

8:29 am

Scarlet

You're welcome, Lucien. Thank you, aloy!! Yippety Yay for Nono!! @@@

8:29 am

pabtrek

congrats Nono

8:29 am

Anniebrook

you be yayed, nono!

8:29 am

montreal13

tx samantha - 632, 626 very tight - is there any significance to the fact that there wer more votes for the demo. than the rep. ?

8:29 am

NonoNanette

up + to hurry

8:29 am

montreal13

wtg Nono !

8:29 am

Scarlet

The African American vote was integral to the numbers, Luc.

8:30 am

SamanthaJoy

Just that the Rs are still in a three way race, and the two parties count their numbers a little differently

8:30 am

Aloyisius

up + fix the table for dining

8:30 am

Scarlet

The youth vote, females, AFrican American and partially the Latino votes combined to slaughter the previous demographic breakdowns... it is a new morning in America, Luc.

8:31 am

montreal13

ty scarlet and samantha - it is somewhat confusuing for us canadian...

8:31 am

NonoNanette

ok I am going back to bed now... happy babbling everyone

8:31 am

montreal13

sweet dreams nono !

8:31 am

Scarlet

Nono... sleep the sweet dreams of a champion@!

8:31 am

Aloyisius

happy snoozing, Nono.. see you next time..

8:32 am

SamanthaJoy

It's confusing for Americams, montreal. I bet there's not a lot of us who can give you an accurate picture of how it's really done.

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

i would like to personally apologize for the poor support for Obama here in Tennessee . . . sigh . . . but remember, GORE didn't even do well here in his home state

8:32 am

Scarlet

Luc, most Americans, (note Eva's story of stupidity) are so naive about the process... but, most of us weigh, consider, listen and try to make an informed decision...

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

very true, samanha

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

*samantha

8:33 am

Scarlet

Une, I did not expect your state to support Mr. Obama... he did well enough though.

8:33 am

SamanthaJoy

You want to hear a fun fact? Did you know that the elections in November aren't what determines who is elected tot he presidency?

8:33 am

montreal13

ty all... i don't feel as stupid as i felt...

8:33 am

Aloyisius

hubby gave me a horrible thing to think about.. he asked, "if the choice comes down to Clinton or McCain, who will you vote for?

8:34 am

bfsog

i have no clue about US elections, does anyone want to fill me in?

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

wonder how he'll do in Louisiana . . .

8:34 am

SamanthaJoy

The truth is that each state gets to elect a number of voters, and then those voters (they're called "electors") get together and cast their votes, and those few people are the ones that make the legal decision

8:34 am

EvaNadine

the whole electoral college thing throws quite a monkey-wrench into the works

8:34 am

montreal13

how come samantha - i thought it did !!!!

8:34 am

SamanthaJoy

Aloysius, I'd just stay home. When the choice is between two republicans, what's a democrat to do?

8:35 am

Uneaixoise

aloy, i'd pick Clinton over MCain ANY day

8:35 am

Scarlet

Aloy... I think we may be knocking on Canada's door to ask for asylum...LOL

8:35 am

Uneaixoise

*McCain

8:35 am

EvaNadine

as soon as anne coulter said SHE would back clinter over mccain, i knew i had to be an obama girl!

8:35 am

Aloyisius

lol... hello, Canada!

8:35 am

Uneaixoise

eva, I think that has EVERYONE baffled! LOL

8:35 am

montreal13

all i know is McCain makes pretty good french fries !

8:36 am

Anniebrook

and McCain will keep us in Iraq

8:36 am

montreal13

plenty of room up here in canada... but it's a tad colder....

8:36 am

Aloyisius

his attempt to assuage the French populace?

8:36 am

SamanthaJoy

So will Clinton

8:37 am

EvaNadine

my friend sent me this link yesterday -- it was 10 (i think) fairly basic questions for you to answer, and in turn, it tells you which candidate most closely matches your views...

http://www.votechooser.com/

8:37 am

montreal13

lol aloy

8:37 am

Aloyisius

hola is so a word!

8:37 am

SamanthaJoy

seriously, so will Obama--he'll just pull more troops out than the other two will. We're never getting out of Iraq, we've been building the largest embassy we own since the day we invaded

8:37 am

montreal13

in spanish yes aloy...

8:37 am

Aloyisius

ty for that link, Eva

8:37 am

bfsog

so each house/party puts forward one candiate (Democrat: Clinton or Obama, Republican: 3 people in running) and then those two, one from each house goes for the president job?

8:38 am

SamanthaJoy

In a nutshell

8:38 am

TomB

@ Aloy - so are ipod and islam or so I thought.

8:38 am

bfsog

well im a neutral but Obama for me

8:39 am

Stubbs

islam is the one that gets me

8:39 am

EvaNadine

whats confusing is that there are more than 2 parties, though only 2 of them are major parties...
theoretically, infinite people can run + be put on the ballot, but only 2 will be endorsed by the major parties, so there are only 2 that have a real shot at it...

8:39 am

EvaNadine

YW aloy

8:39 am

bfsog

whats confusing for me is you guys are voting for who you want to vote for, twice the work!

8:39 am

Scarlet

bfsog... when the competetive candidates are running so closely, the message is that they cannont, as a presidential/vice pres. duo, be beaten, and combine to create an awesome tsunami to pluck the states of most power... the south & the north, the west and the east... Sens. Obama and Clinton cannot be beaten if they join ranks, and it is pointing in that direction.

8:40 am

Aloyisius

and what really really bugs me is that independents are disenfranchised in so many states unless they "declare" a party prior to the primaries... NOT FAIR

8:40 am

SamanthaJoy

Scarlet, I'll bet you money that it will never happen. ;)

8:40 am

EvaNadine

bfsog -- its confusing to us too!

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

i agree, samantha--don't think either would be willing to take a back seat . . .

SamanthaJoy

8:45 am

9:06 am

EvaNadine

scarlet, i just realized that without enlarging it, your icon looks like a caterpillar either doing a magic trick, or a song + dance...heh

9:07 am

Scarlet

The little critter is making fabric, Eva... LOL

9:08 am

EvaNadine

oh, thought you might like this book i found this morning...
"Small-Batch Baking" on amazon.com !

9:09 am

Scarlet

I saw that, Eva... and I usually bake double or triple when I do it (and that is frequently)... I would never think of small batches, but for singles or young marrieds, it just hits the right note!

9:09 am

EvaNadine

yeah, was thinking of getting it for chris + me...
i love desserts, but i always overeat when theres so much around!

9:10 am

Scarlet

I have many visitors, and the cookie jar is the first thing they reach for... Good idea, Eva... did you start your exercise/diet regimen yet?

9:11 am

Scarlet

YOu should be back in fine fettle in no time... isn't it amazing how just a few extra pounds test the fabric on our trousers?

9:12 am

Anniebrook

and so I have to be off to do laundry...see you later, dear babblers

9:13 am

Aloyisius

bye, Annie.. see you later..

9:13 am

Scarlet

Later, Annie... is Bobby still ecstatic?

9:13 am

Aloyisius

Scarlet's icon reminds me of a beautiful insect's name.. Protocarpe quinquemaculatus.. so fun to say

9:14 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Bobby is very proud of his team...now he is looking forward to the start of baseball

9:14 am

Scarlet

Nice, Aloy.... so poetic! Me too, Annie... bats and balls in just a few weeks!! Yippety!1

9:15 am

Anniebrook

as poetic as your name, Aloy

9:15 am

Scarlet

Madama Merganser!!

9:15 am

Scarlet

Also known as an extremely obscure opera...

9:15 am

Anniebrook

bye!

9:16 am

Aloyisius

(-: I used to bring the larva in at the beginning of each school year; the students would "raise" it and then we would set it free in the Spring.. it turns into a Tomato hornworm moth..

9:16 am

Aloyisius

could usually find the critter munching on my green peppers, lol

9:16 am

Scarlet

Our children did that with Monarchs on Milkweed pods... oh, the wonder of it all, Aloy.

9:17 am

Aloyisius

yes.. the kids called it "Mr MaGoo" because its face was all scrunched up

9:17 am

Scarlet

Is that the whitish moth that moves sporadically when it flies, Aloy?

9:17 am

Aloyisius

yup, it is a big white moth

9:18 am

EvaNadine

diet? workout??
i dont wanna!!

9:18 am

Scarlet

That's the one that hovers over my flowers but decides to head for the neighbor's garden... LOL, Eva... whatever floats your boat!!

9:18 am

EvaNadine

i GOTTA, but i dont wanna!

9:19 am

Aloyisius

but one time the janitor felt sorry for McGoo because he didn't have any water, so he put a dish of water in the terrarium.. and McGoo drowned in it... happy ending.. by third period, McGoo was squirming around again.

9:19 am

Scarlet

LOL, Aloy... instant regeneration!!

9:20 am

Aloyisius

lol.. we had great discussions on "life vs non-life" that day, characteristics of living things...

9:20 am

Scarlet

It reminds me of the ancient Romans experimenting with flies which were floating belly-up in wine goblets... they laid them out in the sun, and Voila@! they walked again!!

9:21 am

Scarlet

You seemed prepared to discuss such wide-ranging topics, apropos of any moment, Aloy...

9:21 am

Aloyisius

bit wobbly at first..

9:21 am

Scarlet

And, then... they joined the Rockettes, right, Aloy?

9:22 am

Aloyisius

carpe the opportunity, (-:

9:22 am

Aloyisius

one two three, kick.. can see them flies now!

9:22 am

Scarlet

But of course!!

9:22 am

Aloyisius

smiles on their little faces, chins stained with the vino

9:23 am

Scarlet

An occasional burp, but otherwise functional!!

9:23 am

Aloyisius

bit of a headache, tho

9:23 am

Scarlet

Piggy little flies...

9:23 am

Scarlet

Hair of the dog, perhaps, Aloy?

9:23 am

Aloyisius

maybe not, the Romans didn't use sulfites

9:24 am

Scarlet

There you go, Aloy... hangover free and ready for the next toga party...

9:24 am

Aloyisius

music playing in the background now..

9:25 am

Scarlet

The Spartans are storming the gates to crash the mother of all wingdings...

9:26 am

Aloyisius

toes are tapping.. hands are clapping..

9:26 am

Scarlet

And I have to storm the shower, or I will not be fit for man nor beast... I love party planning with you Aloy... we have created the happiest, drunkenest flies known to the dustbins of history... LOL

9:27 am

Aloyisius

fun, fun, Scarlet.. have a good shower.. see you next time!

9:27 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:27 am

10:38 am

redturtlehead

If I could use curse words, I would....I spent 4 hours trying to get this man who was very near death to be alive again, got him up to the Icu and hear the family decided they didn't want the "heroic measures" so...as you might imagine, exhausted.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

hey inge and haz

caitlyn

Thats really odd

11:24 am

Hi all, he melts some sort of metal and drinks it and rubs it on his skin. His wife only drinks it so she's not blue. Saw him in TV and he looks really weird
