rururocks

damn it

12:32 pm

Bugsaw

ding ding ding

12:33 pm

Bugsaw

if you have that dog his name should be Haile

12:35 pm

rururocks

Haile?

12:36 pm

MollyL

Selassie

12:36 pm

Bugsaw

Haile Selassie from Egypt many moons ago

12:37 pm

Bugsaw

Molly got it. Maybe ruru is too young ;)

12:37 pm

rururocks

no.. she's just a lot smarter than I am :D

12:39 pm

MollyL

No, I'm just a Bob Marley fan and he wrote about Selassie

12:41 pm

rururocks

<--- wishes he was too young

12:41 pm

Bugsaw

I have never forgotten a story about young John Kennedy who was only 2 when Selassie was coming to the white house. Apparently he was standing on the balcony watching the helicopter land and started shouting Haile Selassie over and over because he loved the sound of it and got hustled out before many people heard him Kids are the same everywhere.

12:42 pm

rururocks

yeah.. except he didn't have a lot of luck with aircraft

12:43 pm

Bugsaw

so sad

12:43 pm

rururocks

i know tragic

12:44 pm

MollyL

Not a lot of luck in that family. If I were Caroline I would wrap myself in a big plastic bubble.

12:45 pm

Bugsaw

She has sure carried herself with dignity all through her life. I quite admire how she has managed it.

12:47 pm

MollyL

Two eerie things about that Kennedy plane crash. The reason they left late is because Carolyn Besset took too long at a nail salon getting polish mixed to exactly match her dress. Also, Jackie Kennedy Onasis made her son promise he would not take flying lessons. He didn't until after she died. Jackie was terrified of him dying in a plane crash.

12:49 pm

Bugsaw

Life is a crap shoot for sure

12:50 pm

rururocks

I've lived a lot longer than I thought I would

12:51 pm

Bugsaw

If you had known you would have taken better care of yourself like Mickey Mantle?

12:54 pm

rururocks

oh for sure.. there's a lot of things I would redo in my life so that I wasn't paying the price now. But live large or don't live I guess

12:56 pm

Bugsaw

I bet we could all say that.

1:01 pm

Bugsaw

Happy Babbling all

1:01 pm

rururocks

bye bugs

1:01 pm

rururocks

hi to mr bugs

1:07 pm

harpjane

Wasn't Haile Selassie from Ethiopia?

1:07 pm

1:12 pm

rururocks

1:12 pm

MollyL

Selassie was from Ethiopia

1:13 pm

rururocks

(retracts the molly is smarter than me comment)

1:14 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :) Late start for me today.

1:14 pm

harpjane

That's what I thought. The birthplace of Rastafarianism

1:14 pm

MollyL

I didn't say he was from Egypt, Bugsaw did

1:15 pm

MollyL

Hence the Bob Marley comment

1:15 pm

harpjane

I'm actually not smarter than any of you! I just happen to know Ethiopian Trivia.

1:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant in DC

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

Very interesting.

1:19 pm

rururocks

I just know the old Ethiopian dinner jacket joke

1:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

Aw, it's my stop. Happy babbling.

1:22 pm

MollyL

Ethiopian trivia?

1:24 pm

MollyL

You can't tell that joke anymore Ru. Someone will bash you for not being politically correct. Or is it woke? I can't keep up.

1:25 pm

rururocks

I know.. that's why i didn't post it. ... it reminds me of the old Sam Kinnison Bit on Ethiopia from the letterman show

1:29 pm

cybernan

do 6-7 following the rule(s) of Venice please?

1:30 pm

harpjane

we ate at a nice Ethiopian restaurant in DC also

1:30 pm

harpjane

(google Sam Kinneson...)

1:32 pm

rururocks

woops it's kinison

1:35 pm

cybernan

or the he 7-8 that follows the foot part please?

1:36 pm

rururocks

related to dancing with metal tips nan he8

1:37 pm

cybernan

ty ruru :)

1:39 pm

MollyL

To steal a canine for ransom

1:39 pm

MollyL

And those are rulers of Venice not rules

1:41 pm

cybernan

a typo, Molly -- thought I had said rulers

1:41 pm

rururocks

that Venice clue just missed by inches :D

1:42 pm

cybernan

really need to vacuum this keyboard -- the keys are getting sticky

1:43 pm

cybernan

I have toured the do 4's palace in Venice - gorgeous if you like a lot of gilt and plaster ornamentation :)

1:43 pm

cybernan

a lot of marble too!

1:52 pm

hokie carla

rehowdy. back for my last 18.

1:52 pm

cybernan

hi carla

1:54 pm

hokie carla

how goes it, nan?

1:55 pm

cybernan

pretty good. We've had some snow, but the roads are bare.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

we were 70F yesterday but back to 50s today.

1:56 pm

cybernan

is it just me or is the increase in weird words taking the fun out of the game for others?

1:59 pm

hokie carla

there's definitely weird words, but I don't think they're increasing

2:00 pm

cybernan

yes - we have been having some strange weather patterns as well. A few days ago, the temp. hit the high 60's here and 74 just at the south end of the valley. It was an all time record for December.

2:02 pm

hokie carla

I wonder if my last 18 are weird words

2:03 pm

cybernan

a lot that I've never heard of before

2:03 pm

hokie carla

I have 4-3-5-5-1

2:04 pm

hokie carla

still have 6 s's from 2nd col

2:04 pm

cybernan

either misspelled real words, or nonsensical suffixes, etc

2:05 pm

cybernan

you are probably missing the 3rd sh 6/21, can clue if you want

2:06 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* another tough one

2:07 pm

hokie carla

well done

2:08 pm

hokie carla

I actually do have 3 sh6/21

2:08 pm

cybernan

* tip for the day -- add the not more suffix even if it doesn't make any sense

2:09 pm

hokie carla

I am wondering if my missing 8 has that but I've tried it on a lot of things.

2:09 pm

cybernan

on my way, then. Hagd everyone :)

2:10 pm

cybernan

do you know which 8 you are missing?

2:12 pm

cybernan
