12:12 am

12:15 am
Smeltzdog

12:16 am
ruffh2o

yeah, I have only 26 so far
12:16 am
boatierra

Oh my g-d.......there's a super bad six letter N word. You just never think you're gonna see that in a puzzle. Heck in the last puzzle there was sl*t and c**t. That surprised me
12:16 am
k-dawg

i have 29 already
12:17 am
DarleenMB

we've had this discussion before. The words are, in and of themselves, not "bad." It's the way people use them.
12:17 am
mamabear

I don't have a list....

"DarleenMB
we've had this discussion before. The words are, in and of themselves, not "bad." It's the way people use them. "

Ah. Excellent point. Still, always suprises me. You're not really looking for them, but they just appear.
12:18 am
DaQwyetOne

the word in this puzzle is bad all the way around.
12:19 am
mamabear

I don't have the 2 letter list - why do you think I do?
12:19 am
DarleenMB

well, I don't think anyone sits around arranging the letters ... it's all random.
12:19 am
brandyjack

It'll be posted shortly.
12:20 am
Smeltzdog

that "you" was plural

but you knew the i word was 10 letters
12:20 am
cybernan

I agree with DaQwyet
12:20 am
k-dawg

how is eveyone doing tonight
12:21 am
boatierra

"DarleenMB
well, I don't think anyone sits around arranging the letters ... it's all random."

Oh I know. Hey, I was excited to see a j/4/9 word. Its so rarely appears in a puzzle.
12:21 am
ruffh2o

aaaaargh! the kitchen timer just rang. we gotta go.
12:21 am
k-dawg

g2g dad is making me go to bad

1:54 am
melissamay

Funny, I went to check and as I did I found quite a few. I've got 10 now. I'm missing re7/28 and some other, though I can't seem to find it on my list. I'm also being driven batty by he 6/27, if you've got it.
1:55 am
GreyWoulf

don't have either one currently, working on the he6 now
do you have the ai's?
1:57 am

2:15 am
melissamay

GreyWoulf, that's great -- thanks, I found it with your clue! And sherb, that one was unfamiliar to me so I checked the def, and it turns out Sam's also a moth.
2:17 am
melissamay

Oh, and I figured out the last 7 I am missing -- it's the gi7. I don't suppose you have it?
2:17 am
sherb

well waddya know! I love learning new words I know I'll never use :)
2:19 am
GreyWoulf

gi7 - alcoholic comparative (this martini is gi7 than that one)
2:20 am
melissamay

Oh, GreyWoulf, thanks again! What an odd word. It has no dictionary def, either. That does it for my 7s, so if you're missing one (or anything else I hopefully have), please let me know so I can help!
2:21 am
sherb

good clue GW! when it come to martinis, the gi7 the better :)
2:22 am
GreyWoulf

I'll take your word for it, sherb

Miy, I know manskirt's son.And he's not cringe worthy. so I think ms and maths are brothers. LOL
8:48 am
Miyavi_fan

Possibly, whenever Mr F talks about his brother he has an expression like he's holding a dead rat in his mouth. Though Manskirt would have to be pretty old to be his brother...200 would be about right.

10:07 am
joelgee

okay. I'm going to preach for a sec. While I was typing, power went out for a sec. very windy here today. But my computer kept going because I have a UPS. Everybody who has invested in a computer SHOULD have one. Sooner or later, you'll be glad.
10:08 am
joelgee

you say it's yer birthday, well happy birthday to ya. dadadada.
10:09 am
hurshy

(giggles at snowy)
joelgee - what's a UPS (other than a package delivery company)?
10:09 am
Dachef

joelgee - here here. my restaurant got hit by lightning a coupla months ago and everything got fried. I would've lost am entire years worth of financial documents. The taxman would've had a field day!
10:09 am
hurshy

snowy - who's the one you were talking about, though?
10:10 am
joelgee

This is what I'm saying. A computer guy told me that besides the obvious possibilities, when the power goes out, your internal power supply whatsis can get fried.
10:11 am
snowyowl

Maigret hurshy - Have I commited a boo boo now?
10:11 am
ruffh2o

ups - uninterruptable power supply
10:11 am

10:11 am
artlady

Darn! I step out of the room to refill my latte and you all sing so beautifully! Thank you, thank you. This is rather fun!
10:11 am
hurshy

snowy - dunno - maybe nobody will notice, if so. what author is that?
10:12 am
joelgee

Uninterrupted Power Supply. Essentially it's a big battery in a bricklike box. Depending on what kind you get, the UPS gives you x amount of time to back out and turn off when power goes. Also, depending on model, you can plug in x amount accessories.
It's possibly the unsexiest computer accessory you can get, but possibly the most important.
10:12 am
snowyowl

Apologies then!!!!!! even less bright than usual today - but I am consistent!
10:12 am
hurshy

OK, so how much does a UPS cost? isn't it good enough to just have a power strip, and then your computer at least won't get hurt?
10:13 am
artlady

I agree, Joel. My mother lives in rural Wisconsin and her power's out a lot. She even has one on her VCR's!
10:13 am
Deutsch

Don't worry snowy, I so misread your clue, I was thinking of the Belgian detective, Hercule P!
10:14 am
artlady

No no, Snowy. Your brightness is a beacon to us all....as shown in your lovely icon.
10:14 am
snowyowl

Hurshy - Georges Simenon - they are really old stories and in the 60s there was a television series.
10:15 am
Dachef

snowyowl - your icon - is that Mumbles? Looks kinda familiar....
10:15 am

Thanks, Joelgee. I've written it down. Can I get this at radio shack? baltimore in the summer has brownouts. :(
10:16 am

anyone have the an 7/40 yet? Can't find that one at all.
10:16 am
hurshy

i'll right that down. i love old stories! in fiction, i mostly don't read any author who didn't die before i was born. except when it comes to children's fiction.
10:16 am
artlady

Deutsch, you should be able to get it anywhere that sells computer stuff.
10:16 am
artlady

Stilllcrazy...without energy.
10:16 am
joelgee

No. Most power strips may protect against a surge, but that's maybe. A UPS, around $100 American, depending. Consider that cost against what you have invested in your computer and what you could lose, it really is, in my opinion, one of the best computer investments you can make.
The company APC (automatic power conversion, I think) is thought to be the major player in that field.
Don't mean to go on, but you're going to have a brownout or a power loss sooner or later. Might as well be ready for it.

Ty mprotz did not know. I live in a small village just half an hour drive from Amsterdam with woods, beach and heither (is that the correct word? for the purple plant?)
just outside my door. Just perfect!

YW, O'chita. Are you close to done?
2:44 pm
LUCKY

The Dutch word for sabot then is KLOMP Hurshy.
Nowadays only the real farmers wear them at work.
2:44 pm
hurshy

klomp makes a lot of sense for that shoe - we must have gotten that from you then, when we use it as the loud noise someone makes with their shoes.

2:49 pm

Hurshy I am still an American citizen with passport and all but moved to Holland already 40 years ago when my parents divorced and my dad stayed in the States. So my idiom is not up to par anymore
2:50 pm
hurshy

well, probably most americans don't know about heather anyway. it mostly grows in england. anne of green gables (in book 3) states that it only grows 2 places in north america.
2:51 pm
mprotz

We've had global increasingly bad weather all year. That might be the one thing HRH and I agree upon.

No, Hursh, like the little bear, just enough.

i just mean, what's esta?
and what words do you want clues for?

by golly, I'm not ready to grovel for clues yet. Before I start asking, I try to figure it out like a puzzle. For instance, I know what my two te4/4s are. I know two te5s--the ones I don't have--are somewhere between those. Plus, I know by the points, how much the letters have to add up to.
For me, part of the fun is figuring that out.
When I can't, then I grovel with absolutely no pride whatsoever.

On the ni word. I typed it in this morning and was stunned to see that it was taken. But when I think about it, I personally see yesterday's cu word as nearly as bad. Both are very, very hateful.

I would not use that word in conversation. However, following Lenny Bruce's lead, it is JUST a word. The definition calls it what it is. Are you calling anybody that word? Do you know where your feelings lie about that word?
Do it. There's no derogatory intention on your part. The words are generated randomly.
On the other hand, who am I to tell you what words to use and not use.
In the final analysis, as ugly as it is, it is just a word.

Thank you Joel, Julie, hurshy and all. What you've said makes me think. We wouldn't want censorship and the word exists and therefore is defined in dictionaries.

I guess it is a personal choice. What you say makes a great deal of sense. It is just such a hateful word that makes my skin crawl, so I will not include it, but neither, of course, would I judge anyone who did.

A bit of a shock for me. Thanks again

I think - there is a big difference between a word and using a word. Certain words we would not care to use, but they are "real". They are used / have been used in the world, and so exist in the world's dictionaries. Just because I include such a word on a word list, I pesonally don't think I am implying any derogation or disrespect by it, and therefore I'm going to use it. Just my opinion :)
5:01 pm

Shorty: I think I often was overlooked before I payed up and got an icon simply because one stands out less than iconed people.

OK Smeltzie - this one is for you!
Two guys immigrate to America. On their first day off the boat
they are wandering around New York City seeing the sights. As
lunch time approaches they decide they are hungry. They then
come up to a street vendor selling hot dogs.

One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat
dogs in America?"

"I don't know!" says the other, equally appalled.

"Well," says the first, "we're going to be Americans, so we must
do as they do."

They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, please."

The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The
two immigrants sit on a park bench to eat their lunch. One looks
inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his partner and says, "Uh,
which part of the dog did you get?"

6:52 pm

And the duck joke you have all been waiting for:

A duck walks into a bar and asks , do you sell grapes? The bar tendor says no sorry.
the duck walks in the next day and asks "do you sell any grapes?" the bar tendor says no sorry. the duck went in every day that month and asked the same thing, and as you guessed he kept getting the same answer.

so one day the bar tendor got really fed up and answerd to the duck "if you come in here one more time and ask for grapes, I'll nail your beak to the bar.

once again the duck walked in to the bar but this time he said "have you got any nails?" the bar tendor replied no. the duck asked.. have you got any grapes?"

grey so true .. hubby and I networked for awhile but he can't play his game with me networked so I got my own modem . I got unplugged every night !!
9:58 pm
GreyWoulf

Owl - what the stat board does for the pros is let us know how many words originate from a particular square on the grid. It does make it easier to detrmine if you have all of a particular letter but that's about it

Nite Charm. Sweet dreams to you.......
11:05 pm
GreyWoulf

you are correct, ohrom
the majority consensus is that it is in the same category as the cu4 in yesterdays grid
11:06 pm
ohromujici

Yeah, GW. I about fell over dead when I saw that CU word yesterday.
11:07 pm
GreyWoulf

I was off and on all day yesterday and everytime, it ended up being a major topic of conversation
11:08 pm
torgone

Like it or not, lots of unpleasant words are in common enough usage to be in official dictionaries.
11:11 pm
GreyWoulf

Very true, torgone
Just because a word may have a bad history, does not negate the fact that it exists or that at some point in history, it was common parlance
I think that the biggest problem today is that too many people are attempting to rewrite history to impose todays values on the past
11:12 pm
helenary

I am so stuck on the in4..clues please!
11:12 pm
ohromujici

Have a good night you guys. I got to 30 words, noticed what time it is and then said cuss words because I have to get up and go to work in 5 hours. : ) See you guys tomorrow.
PS---GW: I was walking down the street today and I walked past a huge crowd of people in LOTR costumes. You weren't in NYC today were you?

11:14 pm

11:15 pm

11:15 pm
GreyWoulf
