As much as I enjoy Babble and working with all you fine people, I'm going to be taking an extended/indefinite break after this puzzle. I've finally admitted to myself that I'm a happier, more productive human being when I actually leave the house on my days off ;) When the weather turns bad or I get laid off I'll come back!

Krys10

and you're missing an RE5 and an RU6. for the Ru6, I'm guessing you've got a related one - one's the actor, the other the recipient of said action :)

2:20 pm

sprite

*lol* Krys10, I like your clue for the N7!

3:10 pm

Treble99

I cant get the N7 have been looking a while

3:19 pm

Krys10

So, vandals put sugar in your gas tank and you get your car towed to the mechanic and he tells you it'll cost a zillion dollars to get the gas tank replaced. And when you start to complain, he says, "well, that's what you get for getting ...(N7).... in your tank!"

I've noticed some odd cultural preferences by the Babble-gods: they recognize "naan" but not "soba" and okay "senora" but not "herr"...

3:31 pm

testing

I think it's odd that they'll take senor/senora but not nino. **shrug** It's a bit odd!

Thanks, Krys10 for the clues!

3:33 pm

Krys10

Maybe not soba, but they do accept miso!

3:40 pm

Treble99

I give up on that N7 cant find it, maybe its because I dont drive.
