7:23 am

crosshair

Have the greek spelling for little star, but I cannot make it work in the grid. Tried several derivatives.

7:26 am

BzznBea

7:42 am

mael

hello everyone

8:01 am

MollyL

We get Canadian geese babies around Mother

8:01 am

MollyL

Mother's Day. They are nesting now

8:04 am

hurshy

speaking of mother's

8:04 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! Voldemort's mum

8:05 am

MollyL

Merope

8:06 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

8:06 am

rururocks

don't remember that from the movies

8:06 am

mael

wow, that's nerdy for you Molly!

8:06 am

MollyL

Harry Potter is nerdy?

8:08 am

MollyL

It is somewhere in the backstory of Tom Riddle, Ru.

8:09 am

rururocks

oh.. I surely don't remember

8:09 am

hurshy

i didn't watch all the movies; it's possible they didn't include her in them

8:10 am

rururocks

yes i never read the books

8:11 am

Shirlockc

read them all but a long time ago, my memory is shot; merope is one of the greek/roman nymphs or minor goddesses or something i think?

8:12 am

hurshy

probably

8:12 am

hurshy

it is a greek formatted style of name

8:12 am

rururocks

minor goddess of bondage.. rope and all

8:13 am

Shirlockc

i do knot think so, ruru

8:13 am

BzznBea

=)

8:14 am

rururocks

whenever she had kids it was twines

8:16 am

rururocks

even her marriage to Tom Riddle\'s dad was non-binding

8:16 am

Shirlockc

there you go, spinning another yarn

8:20 am

MollyL

The only film version of Merope is a short film called The House of Gaunt, which expands on the history of the Riddle family.

8:20 am

rururocks

i only know the regular Harry Potter movie.. it was cute

8:21 am

MollyL

Anne Hathaway was great in it.

8:23 am

rururocks

HA

8:24 am

rururocks

she was better in the Harry Potter movie than Princess Bride

8:25 am

hurshy

this convo would really confuse new babblers, lol

8:25 am

MollyL

Too bad she missed that role in The Princess Diaries. She would have been perfect.

8:26 am

MollyL

New players are confused enough by NBT, NBS, and HOET

8:26 am

MollyL

Not to mention 1-3-3-4-7-6

8:26 am

rururocks

you're forgetting GATBO

8:27 am

aslindy

it's not just new players who get confused by all the acronyms etc

8:27 am

hurshy

idk why but i had a dream in which i was doing Mad Libs and now i really have a hankering for it

8:27 am

MollyL

GATBO hasn't gotten the traction that HOET has. All the bandwagon riders have jumped on HOET

8:28 am

MollyL

I don't know what is worse. Dreaming about Mad Libs or having a hankering for it.

8:29 am

Shirlockc

i remember NBT and that's what I shoot for

8:30 am

hurshy

well, i have been finding this a very nice grid. one pass, 12 words left to find.

8:32 am

rururocks

22 here.. just a little trouble with the first column s

8:32 am

hurshy

i need 2 from each S

8:34 am

hurshy

what about 8s though, all i have is re8

8:38 am

BzznBea

sk8.60

8:39 am

hokie carla

as8

8:40 am

hokie carla

25 left here

8:41 am

hurshy

interesting

8:41 am

hokie carla

I need 6 +4 S

8:42 am

hurshy

ooh yay got the as8

8:44 am

hurshy

and monkeyed the sk8!

8:44 am

hurshy

so there are 5 sk words altogether, in case that helps you hokie

8:45 am

hokie carla

I actually beat the flippers to the as8 last night🍪

8:45 am

hurshy

and no SO words

8:46 am

hokie carla

ok, only have 1 SK word so will look, thx

8:48 am

hurshy

phantom: grief

8:52 am

hurshy

has anyone finished Ks?

8:53 am

mattygroves

Nope. Not me, anyway. I can't speak for anyone

8:53 am

hokie carla

I have 5 k's

8:53 am

mattygroves

I'm missing the KE6 and 7

8:53 am

hurshy

oho, so there's a ke6 and 7!

8:53 am

hurshy

got em!

8:53 am

mattygroves

Yeah, I'm down to 12 words, so have resorted to the list

8:54 am

hurshy

um it makes me think of actress Russel

8:54 am

hurshy

kinda

8:54 am

hurshy

that was my last 7, too

8:54 am

mattygroves

I don't know which actress you're referring to....

8:54 am

hurshy

from Felicity and The Americans

8:55 am

hurshy

that's two separate shows lol

8:56 am

mattygroves

I'd heard of neither, but looked Felicity up and that did help me find them. Thanks!

8:56 am

hokie carla

sounds like a band from an old hanna barbera cartoon

8:57 am

hokie carla

well I found 2 s's looking for those k's

8:57 am

mattygroves

K's killed. 10 words left :)

8:57 am

hurshy

4 for me!

8:57 am

hurshy

PASS

8:58 am

hokie carla

23 for me. I have been doing other things. 😁

8:59 am

hurshy

phantom: porridge

8:59 am

hokie carla

also my computer randomly rebooted while you were talking about the k's. the error report said something about "panic". that can't be good if my laptop is panicking.

9:00 am

mattygroves

That is less than ideal!

9:00 am

hokie carla

I didn't really understand anything else it said

9:05 am

mattygroves

All done!

9:05 am

mattygroves

Have a great day all!

9:05 am

hokie carla

well done!

9:12 am

9:22 am

hokie carla

I don't think I've seen any yet

9:27 am

rururocks

Nothing is bulging out at me!

9:27 am

hokie carla

ru hitting the nail on the head again

9:35 am

hokie carla

well, down to 7 - 3 of which are 4's that are hiding well

9:35 am

MollyL

Taking a break from male anatomy words? We wood if we could.

9:36 am

hokie carla

ain't that the truth

9:37 am

CowExploder

no bones about it

9:37 am

Aloyisius

hi all.. finished the first pass .. scrolling for clues

9:37 am

hokie carla

I thought you said you finished on the first pass and I was impressed

9:38 am

hokie carla

I have 7. 3-1-2-1. SS T E PP A

9:39 am

hokie carla

probably hurshy's last 4 she had are in there

9:39 am

hokie carla

9:40 am

Aloyisius

9:40 am

hokie carla

I definitely have never done it

9:41 am

rururocks

9:41 am

hokie carla

9:41 am

rururocks

not with this one however

9:41 am

Aloyisius

how large was the grid, ru?

9:42 am

rururocks

maybe 72 words or something It took about 8 minutes

9:42 am

hokie carla

did I miss bea leave?

9:42 am

Aloyisius

wow.. wtg

9:44 am

MollyL

She did not make a formal goodbye. Is that a requirement?

9:45 am

Aloyisius

as8 is my star word for today (-: blurt, blurt

9:45 am

hokie carla

well, she usually does say goodbye. thought she could guess my missing A.

9:46 am

Aloyisius

do you have ai 5.12?

9:46 am

MollyL

It's okay. We recognize that you are powerless over blurting and your Babble life has become unmanageable.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

Babble-mania disease

9:48 am

rururocks

time to get to work.. have fun everyone

9:48 am

rururocks

(formal goodbye on my part)

9:48 am

Aloyisius

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:57 am

hokie carla

still have 6 words left

9:57 am

MollyL

Good because we always need to know where you are, every minute of the day.

9:59 am

Aloyisius

sounds risky if Winston is on a leash..

10:15 am

MollyL

I'm kind of hoping the dog takes off after a raccoon. The mental image is hilarious.

10:23 am

Aloyisius

or a squirrel or bunny rabbit.. nope, I couldn't try that but maybe she would just let loose of the leash? ironically, my last words, the sk ones, have to do with "to move rapidly".. gtg.. happy Babbling!

clueing is complicated....i always try to clue the least amount for that person....doesn't always work....someone usually jumps in and gives a much more obvious clue...

2:09 pm

hokie carla

yes. I just couldn't think of any other way to clue

2:09 pm

MollyL

No one cares about clues anymore. Most of the clues practically spell out the word in the chat.

2:12 pm

MollyL

******(

2:13 pm

hokie carla

SK8 is a pl of SK7 which is similar to actor Tom in Top Gun (not Tom Cruise)

2:14 pm

penquis

anyone want to guess my missing A?...would appreciate just stats....

2:15 pm

MollyL

Huh, I never knew that as8 was often pronounced with an X at the end. That's like people who say "axe me a question".

2:15 pm

penquis

it's either a 5, 6, or 7....

2:15 pm

moolingwa

ar5?

2:15 pm

2:16 pm

penquis

2:16 pm

moolingwa

that's how I learned about menhirs, from Goscinny and Underzo

2:17 pm

hokie carla

hurshy was talking about it the other day when we had menhir in the grid, but I thought she named a different french comic book.

2:17 pm

hokie carla

also, I do not know and have never read any french comic books

2:18 pm

penquis

she mentioned two, i think....

2:18 pm

moolingwa

yeah, not Tintin

2:18 pm

penquis

i read one or two when i was a kid....my Montreal cousins had them...

2:18 pm

moolingwa

I have all the other ones, perhaps sans the particularly racist one

2:19 pm

hokie carla

I thought it was astro something

2:19 pm

moolingwa

it is

2:19 pm

moolingwa

it's the a8 but with the last two letters changed

2:19 pm

hokie carla

I mainly read Archie and Richie Rich

2:19 pm

moolingwa

but the other French series was Tintin

2:20 pm

moolingwa

well actually Tintin is Belgian

2:20 pm

moolingwa

my apologies to the Belgians

2:20 pm

hokie carla

well some belgians speak french

2:21 pm

penquis

most if not all do....

2:21 pm

moolingwa

French or Dutch, yes...but it'd be like calling Canadians Americans

2:22 pm

hokie carla

we are really good friends with some belgians. they speak dutch. I had a french speaking belgian prof in college. incredibly hard to understand.

2:23 pm

penquis

They have three national languages...

2:24 pm

hokie carla

oh, what's the 3rd?

2:24 pm

penquis

German

2:24 pm

penquis

there are also people who speak other languages...like Flemish...

2:25 pm

hokie carla

oh, my friends speak flemish dutch. thought it was the same as dutch.

2:25 pm

moolingwa

I thought Flemish was just the name for the Dutch speaking people

2:25 pm

hokie carla

it's all greek to me

2:25 pm

penquis

it's probably a dialect...

2:26 pm

penquis

i need to find my missing words...

2:26 pm

moolingwa

yeah, just looked it up...says it's also known as Belgian Dutch

2:26 pm

hokie carla

well, I definitely remember her telling me "flemish dutch"

2:26 pm

hokie carla

what's left, pen?

2:26 pm

moolingwa

apparently Dutch is the most spoken language in Belgium

2:27 pm

hokie carla

that's the impression I got from them

2:27 pm

moolingwa

apparently Flemish people are known as Flemings

2:29 pm

moolingwa

Sounds like Flemish is kind of like comparing American English versus British English, when compared to "Northern Dutch"

2:29 pm

hokie carla

interesting

2:35 pm

penquis

can't find my last word....re 6/24....
