justafreep

For the record... I'm Batman.

12:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

gooish -- is not a word

12:27 am

cybernan

yes it is unrelated and have no idea what it means -- monkeyed it looking for the 8

12:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

batman? disguised at the lorax? (TILT)

12:28 am

mkg

the 8 is from the ba 6 having to do with elections.

12:28 am

hurshy

12:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ty all, got the 8

hurshy

i was gonna do that as a name that fictional noun!

justafreep

What can I tell you, Gwen. I am like an onion - layered. Or I make people cry. I can never remember which it is....

12:30 am

cybernan

There is a town in the Highlands in Aberdeenshire witha similar name

12:31 am

hurshy

*giggle*

12:32 am

hurshy

good thing i took a class on aberdeenshire towns in college

12:32 am

justafreep

is it the one that looks like a strange typo of the fruit, Nan?

12:33 am

cybernan

begins like the knitted toque that you pull down over your face (eyeholes and mouth hole) when it is really cold out -- or maybe when you are robbing a bank

12:33 am

hurshy

he threw a ***l ** me just ** i was about to tell him something

12:34 am

hurshy

lol i'm punchy

12:34 am

cybernan

12:34 am

hurshy

i can only get the one obvious w, wa4, then i'm STUCK

12:35 am

mkg

THAT IS THE 7.

12:35 am

Gillie

Ditto here

12:35 am

hurshy

ooh no, i got a 5 which if you double it is a city in washington state!!

12:35 am

mkg

THE 8 IS FROM THE SIX.

12:36 am

Book Doctor Gwen

got the ba7 at last, TYVM hurshy !!

12:36 am

hurshy

and then you spell it differently for 6 and plural THAT for 7

12:36 am

mkg

oops sorry for the caps

12:36 am

Gillie

wa7 x

12:36 am

Gillie

12:36 am

Gillie

Sorry - scratch that

12:36 am

hurshy

it cannot be x2, that is impossible

12:36 am

hurshy

just one

12:37 am

hurshy

follow my thread of posts for all the Ws

12:37 am

hurshy

apologies if people were not wanting clues, i got over-excited

12:37 am

Gillie

Considering that I was one of the first to get the 8, my brain isn't working very well

12:38 am

hurshy

interesting note: no gallow, only gallows. BUT, apparently, IF it connected, we COULD have cahoot, not only cahoots!

12:39 am

Gillie

I guess a cahoot is something you have by yourself?

12:39 am

cybernan

wa 6-7

12:39 am

hurshy

cahooting with myself, oh-oh cahooting with myself
when there's nothing to lose and there's nothing to prove
i'm cahooting with myself

12:39 am

Gillie

There's a wa5 wa5 in Ontario too, with a giant goose sculpture.

12:40 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! swedish car make

12:40 am

cybernan

Gillie are you in ON or AB?

12:41 am

Gillie

AB, but I spent a bit of time in Ottawa years ago

12:41 am

harpjane

if you do it with a friend, you can call yourselves Cahooters

12:41 am

cybernan

ok - thought you were in AB

12:41 am

hurshy

and if you open a restaurant called cahooters, and the first two lightbulbs burn out, then the men who come in are going to be sadly disappointed

12:42 am

cybernan

oh - buy those girls another drink!

12:43 am

hurshy

te7!!!!!

12:43 am

hurshy

sorry i'm REALLY excited about things tonight, idk why

12:44 am

harpjane

SATB shoul be a word. it's used in music, although it's an abbreviation.

12:44 am

hurshy

i think we have quite enough wacky words without that one, thank you

12:45 am

Gillie

Sorry - the goose is in Wawa. A music professor once had a contest for the most chiasmi (musical representation of the cross) we could find in a work by J.S. Bach, and the prize was a placemat with a picture of the Wawa goose (in full flight).

12:45 am

cybernan

releif that the federal train has headed back to the track?

12:46 am

Gillie

You mean COVID benefits?

12:46 am

hurshy

federal train, covid benefits, i can't follow this at all

12:46 am

cybernan

no -- I was asking Hurshy if that is why she was feeling giddy

12:47 am

hurshy

oh, no, didn't even know what the federal train was doing

12:47 am

hurshy

it's just having watched home alone and feeling festive probably

12:47 am

cybernan

looks like Trumps days are numbered - no?

12:48 am

hurshy

all our days are numbered (she said, trying to be somber)

12:48 am

hurshy

ok, there is AL6-7, and it's sorta like the canadian province but you take out two letters in the middle and replace them with just one letter

12:49 am

hurshy

i clued it right off cause it was weird but sorry sorry

12:49 am

Gillie

12:50 am

hurshy

i am sure you will all be sorry to learn that even if we had two Ss, asshat would not count (though i notice that spellcheck for the chat did not red underline it, so that's funny)

12:56 am

cybernan

12:56 am

SueMagee

hurshy

hurshy

'course if i can't FIND any of 'em then there is less excitement

1:38 am

hurshy

kosher counts when it is here, so shouldn't halal also count?

1:39 am

hurshy

lol

1:41 am

hurshy

bottom two rows grey!

1:41 am

hurshy

I haven't seen you for, it must be a year, Sprite - what have you been up to?

sprite

and you, how are you doing?

1:53 am

lynxxx

Oh that's not good Sprite - are you getting on top of it?

1:54 am

sprite

1:55 am

lynxxx

I developed a health issue too - permanent but am coping with it at the moment.

1:56 am

sprite

1:56 am

lynxxx

You are a strong woman Sprite and you will get there I am sure. How are the kids?

the kids are amazing. All well and doing what makes them happy.

1:57 am

lynxxx

1:58 am

sprite

2:02 am

sprite

if one can la4 out, what you do then should be an outla4

2:04 am

lynxxx

so first word I saw was Galt - as in who is John Galt. I think I am ver old because I couldn't even Google up Ayn Rand or John Galt - or otherwise this 'loan' PC is too feeble

2:05 am

sprite

2:13 am

lynxxx

BBL - my eyes are drooping

mattygroves

This is a tricky grid today, I think

4:57 am

MollyL

How did your turkey turn out Matty?

4:58 am

worzel

gallow doesn't exist because gallows is the singular. It's plural is gallowses

4:58 am

mattygroves

It was lovely, actually! I made a rub of butter, fresh rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, a bit of orange rind, garlic, salt and pepper. Put onion and carrot and a bit of water in the bottom of the roasting dish - it came out beautifully

4:58 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

4:59 am

MollyL

Your rub sounds great. I bet it gave the turkey a wonderful flavor. Glad it turned out well.

5:09 am

mattygroves

It did. We had mash, stuffing, honey roast parsnips and carrots, green beans and gravy (and wine)

5:12 am

mattygroves

Did you all have a good Thanksgiving?

6:05 am

MollyL

Yes, thanks. My family enjoyed Thanksgiving.

6:07 am

mattygroves

Did YOU enjoy it?

6:08 am

ChampFit

This grid makes me feel like an idiot!

6:08 am

MollyL

I did, very much. Me being a part of said mentioned family. : D

6:12 am

mattygroves

Excellent :)

6:49 am

BzznBea

Good morning, friends.

7:09 am

MollyL

Bea! How was your Thanksgiving?

7:10 am

BzznBea

It was good. Everything was yummy. I'm pooped.

7:14 am

BzznBea

How about you dinner?

7:29 am

MollyL

It was nice. Not as good as eating at home, but a small way of all of us being together. My son said his restaurant was slammed with take out orders. I was surprised.

7:31 am

MollyL

There was a table for the orders to be picked up in the lobby and there must have been 50 bags on there when we left.

7:31 am

BzznBea

Wow! Did they have a full menu or a limited menu?

7:32 am

MollyL

Full menu and a special Thanksgiving menu. We got a lot of perks. It's nice dining in a restaurant where you son is the Manager. : D

7:32 am

BzznBea

I'm sure.

7:47 am

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:30 am

hokie carla

but at least I can make the charlie brown word today

8:30 am

BzznBea

How was your turkey?

8:31 am

hokie carla

turned out good. I ended up moving it to the oven, bag & all because it was taking longer than I thought and I needed the IP for the potatoes. then it puffed up and stuck to the element so that was nice.

8:32 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:32 am

BzznBea

Was it a cooking bag?

8:32 am

hokie carla

it was one of those reynold's oven bags for turkeys.

8:34 am

BzznBea

I had my electric roaster plugged into a power strip and it kept going off. Finally moved it to a wall outlet and it worked.

8:34 am

rururocks

(waiting for someone to ask for a clue for the Ca6/24)

8:35 am

Jeanius421

I'll ask

8:35 am

BzznBea

I thought that was a bad way to spell a Chinese chicken dish.

8:35 am

BzznBea

How was our Thanksgiving, ru?

8:35 am

rururocks

mine was very quiet and nice here.. nice weather

8:36 am

rururocks

ca6 a sound a peanut makes when it sneezes :D

8:36 am

BzznBea

8:37 am

allyall

lol

8:37 am

rururocks

I ordered a meal from Angele (a local restaurant) to support them and I took it easy and had a nice bottle of Red.

8:38 am

rururocks

I also bought a meal (feast) for my petsitters

8:39 am

rururocks

I opted for not making a big mess in my kitchen for once

8:39 am

BzznBea

My mom acted as sous chef, so my dishes were done as Iwent.

8:40 am

rururocks

nice..

8:40 am

rururocks

she's nice to have around :D she's cute too

8:40 am

hokie carla

bless you, ru. and thanks.

8:41 am

BzznBea

She is. We enjoyed our time together in the kitchen.

8:43 am

BzznBea

So many unfamiliar words today.

8:43 am

bichon

ou 6/33, pls

8:43 am

hokie carla

first time I had done Thanksgiving by myself. mr. homie mashed the potatoes since he's the biggest fan and is kinda particular about them, but I did everything else. and I think every bowl, pot, pan, etc in the kitchen was dirty

8:44 am

BzznBea

ou6 to make illegal

8:44 am

bichon

same here

8:44 am

hokie carla

hmm, not outwag, bichon.

8:44 am

hokie carla

did you see the dog show, the bichon was very fluffy and pretty

8:45 am

bichon

ty Bea

8:46 am

bichon

No, I didn't. But a well groomed Bichon looks like that. Mine doesn't

8:46 am

Trifioso

hello friends!

8:46 am

Trifioso

LOVE the dog show! A holiday tradition here

8:46 am

bichon

hi Trif

8:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, my youngest and mr. homie commented about how scraggly Winston looks compared to the show Golden. :D

8:47 am

Trifioso

who ended up winning? I was in the kitchen when they announced BIS

8:47 am

BzznBea

Hello, Trif.

8:47 am

hokie carla

Trif!

8:47 am

bichon

I have a groomer come with her mobile van every two months

8:47 am

Trifioso

Hokie!

8:47 am

hokie carla

bahs should be allowed during this season

8:48 am

Trifioso

I miss you all, so much. I am a night/weekend babbler only now

8:48 am

hokie carla

I have been grooming Winston myself the whole time, but I don't have a dryer and he's kind of a pain to work with. I should just start using someone else.

8:49 am

Trifioso

i had to give my goats a bath a couple of weeks ago. THAT was a trip.

8:49 am

bichon

Mobile van works well for Marco. Marco's a calm dog.

8:50 am

hokie carla

Winston starts chewing on me

8:50 am

Trifioso

i have a fabulous story from the school yard to share, but it is long. will try to give the reader's digest version.

8:51 am

bichon

When I brush him, I give him a piece of Puparoni

8:51 am

hokie carla

yeah, I sometimes spray that fake PB stuff on the floor, keeps him occupied for about 20 seconds

8:53 am

Trifioso

I have the SWEETEST 12 year old girl in my honors english class. She is still a complete innocent. Recently, my classes read a short story which ended at the climax, concerning a boy who was TERRIFIED of elevators. The students were assigned to retell the story, from a different perspective. This lovely young one chose to write from the perspective of the elevator. First line of her essay: "He was the strangest boy I ever had inside me."

8:53 am

bichon

I never had a dog until my daughter was in high school

8:53 am

Trifioso

I laughed for five straight minutes. She has NO idea what she wrote. none.

8:53 am

hokie carla

LOL

8:53 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:54 am

Trifioso

I hope her mother saves it.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

How unique and creative! I love kids/people that think outside of the box.

8:55 am

Trifioso

heheh. i see what you did there, scrabbler!

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Box = elevator?

8:55 am

Trifioso

suuuuuure scrabbler, sure

8:55 am

Trifioso

lolololol

8:55 am

BzznBea

I saved the 2nd grade spelling pretest my daughter had. The bonus word was Mrs. Sippy.

8:55 am

hokie carla

uh oh

8:56 am

Trifioso

Mrs. Sippy!!!! hahahhahahaha

8:56 am

BzznBea

I asked the teacher why she didn't give points for corect cap and punctuation.

8:56 am

jzw

My dyslexic son used autocorrect once in a 5th grade science class. Instead of "the results of the experiment" out came "the results of the excrement".

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha.

8:57 am

Trifioso

oh dear!!!

8:57 am

BzznBea

Oh, no, jzw. Autocorrect is not a friend.

8:57 am

Trifioso

I voice texted a parent once - I am sorry, I can't tutor on thursday because I have parakeets on fences. What I SAID was parent/teacher conferences.

8:58 am

jzw

His teachers loved it. He was at a special school so they understood. Got an A anyway.

8:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, one of my friends uses voice text a lot and there have been some really funny ones.

8:58 am

Trifioso

that is the best kind of school, where the teachers understand

8:58 am

jzw

Don't like the voice texts!

8:59 am

hokie carla

so gallows can't be singular?

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

good morning, babblers.

8:59 am

dan2bit

Trif "parakeets on fences" is pretty much every parent/teacher conference I've been to :-)

9:00 am

BzznBea

Gallows is the singular

9:00 am

dan2bit

and if you only speak one language, aren't you a "glot"

9:00 am

hokie carla

that's what I'm discovering

9:00 am

hokie carla

monoglot?

9:01 am

BzznBea

Gallowses is the plural

9:02 am

rururocks

Glot only works with Milk

9:02 am

hokie carla

the number of A's isn't as bad as they are all next to each other.

9:03 am

BzznBea

I still have to gery the second row A's

9:03 am

hokie carla

I'm just trying to make halfway on each

9:09 am

BzznBea

Michael's destination is in the first A.

9:09 am

mattygroves

If you let the cat out of the bag, surely you're letting it out of the catbag.

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling and have a good day.

9:10 am

BzznBea

And I thougght catball was a reasonable word.

9:10 am

SuzeeQ24

catball too

9:11 am

rururocks

just finished the a's and there are several new weird ones

9:13 am

hokie carla

9:14 am

MollyL

The Michael clue stumped me for a minute. Hallelujah

9:14 am

BzznBea

I thought it was a great clue.

9:15 am

MollyL

It was, it made me think. Much better than *** clues
: D

9:15 am

hokie carla

not getting it but I have 5 of those a's so I may have it already

9:17 am

Trifioso

I cannot budge the a in the bottom left corner. help?

9:17 am

hokie carla

I know scientists are always trying to outlab each other

9:18 am

MollyL

What you are probably saying because you can't find it

9:18 am

Trifioso

okay, got it - thank you for psychic clue. WHY does just asking for a clue so often lead to then getting the word????

9:19 am

Trifioso

I think of it as the "charlie brown football word?

9:19 am

Scrabbler

It is called the Periwinkle Phenomenon.

9:19 am

hokie carla

yeah, I said that earlier (charlie brown)

9:19 am

BzznBea

Just found the golf ball material.

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Golf ball material?

9:20 am

BzznBea

ba6.24

9:20 am

MollyL

It's obscure, I had to look it up

9:20 am

Trifioso

pl too!

9:21 am

hokie carla

oh, that helped me find the voting thing, which led to the 8

9:21 am

Trifioso

me as well, hokie!

9:21 am

BzznBea

What does one have for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving?

9:22 am

MollyL

Pumpkin cheesecake pie and coffee

9:22 am

Trifioso

pumpkin pie, bzzn! heated up for ten seconds, cuppa on the side

9:22 am

MollyL

I have the turkey stock on and it smells good in here.

9:23 am

hokie carla

just googled what are golf balls made of. it told me the core is made of rubber and then it is covered in plastic. which is exactly what I thought.

9:23 am

BzznBea

That sounds good. I was also thinking about warming up some stuffing that has sausage in it with a dallop of cranberries on top.

9:23 am

rururocks

finished.. have a great day everyone

9:23 am

MollyL

For lunch today is what my clan refers to as THE sandwich. Turkey, stuffing and cranberry on a home made roll.

9:24 am

hokie carla

bye ru!! well done.

9:24 am

BzznBea

That sounds delish.

9:24 am

BzznBea

I was going to use the stuffing as the bread for my turkey sandwich.

9:26 am

hokie carla

ah, finally monkeyed it. a tree. of course the master gardener would know. :D

9:26 am

hokie carla

I could eat dressing all day. I don't know why I only make it on Thanksgiving.

9:26 am

BzznBea

Speaking of which...I will received my official certification on Tuesday.

9:27 am

hokie carla

nice!

9:27 am

BzznBea

I was thinking the same thing yesterday while making the dressing.

9:35 am

BzznBea

My last word was the name of Clinton's VP all smoshed together.

9:36 am

BzznBea

And it means a sensation of cold.

9:36 am

BzznBea

I'm off to do what ever it is I am supposed to do today...

The word Blag not allowed :-(

2:24 pm

jbp

there is no singular of where one is hanged allowed... weh

2:24 pm

zoozzoom

I tried that also, Jbp.

2:25 pm

jbp

;-) and no matter how many times I try, turd is not in the grid

2:25 pm

zoozzoom

haha!

2:30 pm

jbp

could anyone clue me the bottom corner A?

2:31 pm

zoozzoom

An expression like when you want to just scream.

2:31 pm

zoozzoom

2:32 pm

jbp

ty, zz! like Charlie Brown when Lucy moves the football

2:32 pm

zoozzoom

Yes just like that!

2:36 pm

jbp

there is the verb to get rid of (sh++ fly, don't bother me), but it won't take the one who does that action. ;-(

2:37 pm

zoozzoom

This grid seems to be a bit trickier than we have had of late.

2:38 pm

jbp

i concur, zz. maybe it is still my turkey coma wearing off here

2:38 pm

zoozzoom

Hope you had a lovely time though!

2:39 pm

jbp

indeed, thanks. enjoying leftovers today.

2:40 pm

zoozzoom

A bit like bubble & squeak?

2:40 pm

jbp

I know it's not a British holiday, but I wonder if it has asserted/inserted itself along into your culture (the way Halloween has in various places in Europe)

2:41 pm

zoozzoom

Afraid not. Well not that I have noticed. No one here mentions it.

2:41 pm

jbp

wow, I haven't thought about bubble & squeak for years.
My mom always made us sandwiches of the dressing (not stuffing because we don't put the stuff in the bird)

2:42 pm

jbp

IAre you familiar with James Corden? I was watching his show the other night, and he remarked that in England, they have a different name for Thanksgiving. It's called Thursday.

2:42 pm

jbp

heh,

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

When I was little boy my mother used to make us that on a Monday with the leftovers from our Sunday roast. So nice! We were very poor back then haha! Although not that much better off now.

2:45 pm

jbp

My fondest food memories were of stu8ff like that. How we made the most of what was available

2:45 pm

jbp

My sister makes shepherd's pie with the leftovers from Thanksgiving --we're h4eading over there tonight.

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

Yes he is a big star here too. A very funny guy! He was in a show called Gavin & Stacey.

2:46 pm

jbp

I remember that show.

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

ooh sheperds pie! Yummy!

2:46 pm

jbp

i totally love his show. He's brilliant
