5:53 am

mael

enable sadly doesn't recognize the scandinavian house gnomes

5:53 am

mael

tomte/tomten

5:54 am

Deeha

sadly it doesnt recognise eyot either. A small island in a river

5:57 am

mael

which is weird, because it recognizes aits, which is the alternate spelling of eyot

5:57 am

Deeha

exactly!!

5:57 am

mael

enable passeth all understanding

6:00 am

Deeha

nor does it recognise totty - an englisg expression a woman regarded as sexually desirable- but I suppose that is NOT acceptable in this day and age!!

6:50 am

frogface

MollyL

Crue Rules

7:30 am

hokie carla

ha! you lose!

7:31 am

Aloyisius

egads, painters are here and I'm in my pjs.. poofing off !

7:31 am

MollyL

Well, one Google search of crue brings that right up

7:38 am

hokie carla

nah man, she knew it right off the bat

7:39 am

MollyL

Yeah, I'm sure she's a hard rockin' Crue fan. Her and Nan. They're groupies.

7:43 am

hokie carla

is there some reason I can't monkey the CL6/24?

7:45 am

hokie carla

there's literally only 2 letters that can make it work with the points

7:47 am

hokie carla

down to 2 - that CL6 and an N5

7:48 am

Jeff7

I knew the mo6 word but was looking at the wrong y to link it. Thanks for the clue FW 4 today!

7:48 am

hokie carla

woot! well done.

7:48 am

Jeff7

ty-I usually get most but not all of the puzzles.

7:52 am

MollyL

*Waits for the cl6/24 lightbulb to appear over Carla's head

7:56 am

hokie carla

may take a while

7:57 am

hokie carla

if anyone wants to share the 2nd letter of the N5, that'd be great

7:57 am

MollyL

E

7:58 am

hokie carla

hmm

7:59 am

MollyL

Not a normal word by any stetch

8:00 am

mael

what are the stats for that n5?

8:00 am

MollyL

5/14

8:00 am

mael

hmm

8:00 am

mael

name that Spock in the grid, btw

8:00 am

hokie carla

got it. I tried that several times with a different last letter

8:01 am

hokie carla

nemoy, but was he nimoy?

8:01 am

mael

oh yeah, you're right

8:01 am

mael

too much staring at this thing today

8:01 am

MollyL

He was

8:02 am

hokie carla

ok, now just CL6/24. I'm about to just look it up

8:02 am

MollyL

And sorry Carla but close only counts in horseshoes

8:02 am

mael

it's a flower, hokie

8:02 am

mael

if it helps

8:03 am

MollyL

I don't think Carla is a flower nerd

8:03 am

mael

eh, sometimes it jiggers a memory

8:04 am

hokie carla

I know a few by their common names. don't know any by their scientific names.

8:04 am

hokie carla

not clematis

8:05 am

Shirlockc

not cleony (to rhyme with peony)

8:06 am

MollyL

Oh well that just about gives it up

8:06 am

hokie carla

thanks, molly. wouldn't have got it without that.

8:10 am

mael

it's funny, I was mad two days ago because enable wouldn't recognize a pretty normal flower (to me, lol): gaura. It picks and chooses!

8:12 am

mael

but y'all can have the last laugh because my last word is an L6 and I've got no clue

8:12 am

mael

oppa, never mind. there it is. FW!

8:20 am

MollyL

Oppa, we're doing that Greek thing now

8:23 am

mael

italian too, sorta. Hard to write out a sound :)

8:23 am

mael

though it's mostly oppelah, which my kids say too while having no idea what it means

8:30 am

MollyL

I've seen it as opla in Italian

10:02 am

godthaab

12:30 pm

MollyL

It is a drop-in, do the grid, drop-out kind of day.

12:33 pm

penquis

1:05 pm

mattygroves

May I have stats, please, for the Y and the E in the middle of the bottom row?

1:06 pm

penquis

ye 6/27 and et 6/27....

1:07 pm

penquis

the E word is odd but the Y word is not as odd....

1:08 pm

mattygroves

OK, thanks - looking!

1:09 pm

penquis

they both have the same points, so that should tell you something... ;o)

1:09 pm

penquis

MollyL

You should have been thinking baseball

2:21 pm

hurshy

what, ballboy? that wouldn't use R or T

2:22 pm

MollyL

Not for the pangram. That is a science geek word. I meant in terms of boys.

2:23 pm

hurshy

2:23 pm

MollyL

And batboy works too.

2:23 pm

hurshy

ah

2:24 pm

hurshy

i hate baseball, so i don't usually think about it

2:24 pm

MollyL

Babies and baseball. No wonder you wish you lived in another country.

2:25 pm

hurshy

hehe yeah

2:25 pm

hurshy

although i think they have babies in every country

2:25 pm

MollyL

How are you with apple pie?

2:26 pm

hurshy

good

2:26 pm

hurshy

but i also hate coffee

2:32 pm

MollyL

Well we will just have to set you up on a little island where there are no sports, all adults, only tea, only cats and God forbid NO ICEBERG LETTUCE.

2:34 pm

hurshy

oh i like other sports, just not baseball. and i like other animals too, just no legless reptiles.

2:35 pm

hurshy

i don't remember talking about iceberg lettuce, but yeah, might as well get rid of that stuff :D

3:00 pm
