Greetings Ata, how are you?

1:53 am

how many words are there in this grid?

AngelSong says: Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun.

1:53 am

tired! woke up at about 3am feeling really asthma-y, been up ever since! now I'm just waiting for the doctors to open so I can get some better-making tablets!

3:08 am

morning all -it is raining in Wales, no there's a suprise! Good luck to all who are awaiting exam results. Our neighbour will be rushing off for hers later on.

3:33 am

hi snowy - lovely day here! my best wishes to all getting results, too!

3:34 am

not in Cardiff Snowy!

3:38 am

well - I don't want to say to much -but the sun has just come out here too! Lots of cloud still around but definately sun - so there's hope yet! LOL Wales had its summer while I was in Majorca.

3:38 am

hi everyone

3:39 am

Hi Pappou Ted -& how rude of me -Hi Ray & Dippnall

3:40 am

82 degrees here, probably muggy too

3:41 am

The humidity I can do without. I like dry heat - but only if I'm near the swimmimg pool or the sea!

3:42 am

and the tropics are starting to heat up which means hurricane season is about to get busy

3:43 am

Well we don't get anything that extreme Pappou Ted & I don't envy you such desrtuctive weather. Must be terrifying. My husband would hate it -He's 69 & he still hates the wind!

3:45 am

it can get scary and before my dad passed away we had to worry about where to take him for dialysis in case we couldn't get him to his center. This summer we're prepared with a generator and we have all our window boards cut and ready. Hopefully, we won't have to use any of them

3:47 am

is anyone finding words for the bottom m? I can only find one

3:49 am

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! BTW my husband is 59! LOL He wouldn't like the 10 years I gave him that fast! Must go as he's calling & I must do something more useful than play Babble all daytoday!( which is pretty much what I did yesterday)

3:49 am

bye snowy

3:51 am

Hi everyone, PT for the bottom look at the x

3:52 am

3:54 am

hi jean

3:55 am

hemid

3:55 am

oops

3:55 am

i hear something large in the woods...do bears sharpen their claws on trees by chance?

3:55 am

no good anyway

3:56 am

I wouldn't be going out to check, evanout

3:57 am

no, i didn't think i would

3:57 am

my second guess was a buck sharpening his rack.

3:57 am

evanout, I woke up one morning and went to get my paper. When I went to open my door, there was a snake trying to get in.

4:00 am

oh pappou, i had a dream lastnight i was being chased by an evil python

4:00 am

yikes, evanout

4:01 am

me thinks it was the drugs

4:01 am

years ago when we lived in Malaysia we had a snake in the house and it bit my dog

4:01 am

was it poisonous?

4:01 am

you lived in malaysia?

4:02 am

in 1986/7

4:02 am

stil miss the maid

4:02 am

oh, when i was like 9

4:03 am

my words aren't entering very quickly

4:08 am

my youngest child was older than 9 eva lol

4:14 am

sorry PT I just saw your post, yes a cobra, dog must have moved fast as most of the venom burned his skin and he lived to tell the tale, he was never well after

4:23 am

4:41 am

That's good going PappouTed. I've got 51 in 25 mins.

4:42 am

hi hydra

4:42 am

Hi Pappou. Is Tampa Bay where you live?

4:43 am

yes, hydra, on the gulf side, beach is within walking distance

4:44 am

but don't ask when the last time was that I walked out there

4:44 am

About 20 years ago I bought half an acre of land on the gulf coast as an invemstment. It was in Holley by the Sea. I sold it last year at a huge loss. Never again!

4:45 am

I don't know where that is. In my town, prices are outrageous.

4:45 am

I bet it's lovely there. I'd love to live near a beach instead of near Heathrow.

4:46 am

it is pretty, but too hot right now

4:47 am

Following our heatwave, it's rained ever since, with the odd snatch of blue sky between monsoons.

7:33 am

Thanks Annie - I had the singular and forgot the plural! Doh! I've been monkeying for far too long!

7:33 am

the monkeys are busy today

7:34 am

THIS IS BLOODY HARD

Hello all. I was just wondering if someone could explain how you know which words contain a certain number of letters, and what they start with before you even know the word? E.g. "se9" I am guessing that means it starts with se and is the 9 letter word. How do you know that? LOL Enlighten me please.

7:35 am

are there any REAL words in there?

7:35 am

There's the odd one or two amandacath but they are well hidden.

7:36 am

girl, se 9.72 the 9 is the number of letters in the word and the 72 is the total point value of the word as per the number on the tile

7:36 am

SEMIDASH!!!

7:36 am

hi, amanda

7:36 am

hi annie! that would be a hyphen, right Andy?

7:37 am

That should definately be a word Andy or at least a comment on the grid!

7:37 am

Hi Girl Next Door! Look at the links at the bottom left-hand side and click on Lickerty's Babble Clues and all will be revealed.

7:37 am

ER, YEAH!!!

7:37 am

GND - take a look at Angelsong's Babble page (link under friends of babble) - that should explain things

Annie, but how do you know that? I mean, I see numbers on the tiles. But how do you know the word will start with SE, has 9 letters and is 72 points. Am I missing something. I am new to this, in case you didn't guess. :)

Oh, OK. Thank you amanda! I will do that. Sorry for being so verbose this morning. LOL

7:39 am

GND -- if you are a Pro Babbler, you get extra things, like word stats and a running tally of what you have found and how many are left...

7:39 am

girl, read amanda and sue's post, very helpful

Thanks everyone.

7:42 am

Steely Dan, blast from the past!

9:05 am

ah - thanks mitch. Is that British? Seems like we have another word for 1st-years at Annapolis - plebes maybe? Can't quite get that particular brain cell accessed...

9:06 am

i just heard that they are playing currently in nyc

9:07 am

no its not just british, the plebes are from west point, at annapolis they are are called midshipmen or cadets

9:08 am

good morning

9:08 am

Ah, brain cell is now activated - will probably only remain so until I finish the grid

9:09 am

Hi KL!

9:09 am

hi laurel

9:09 am

mi7 = take 1st 3 letters from previous mi6/24 and add d4/5

9:09 am

brains, what brains? nasty storms and frightened kids kept me up

9:10 am

chj - I will have to look on the web, glad to hear they are still playing.

9:10 am

and how is everyone else?

9:11 am

Ah there there klaurel, has it all settled down now?

9:12 am

well, I think so. we are still on storm watch until 10am

9:12 am

if I could find my missing h-word I'd be happier - other than that, doing just fine, Laurel

9:13 am

Oh Man! Ever wake up and hear thunder and lightening that makes the night like day and then , WHOOSH! you could just HEAR the torrent of rain?

9:13 am

i just checked and plebes refers to freshman from any service academy

9:14 am

but i think i associate that term more with west point

9:14 am

I love storms like that, Laurel. Of course, I don't have any kids or dogs to soothe through them

9:14 am

my chicken dog was just curled up on the floor next to my bed

9:14 am

woooo, I hear more rumbling

9:15 am

thats how my dog is

9:15 am

Love storms but not on that scale not that we get them like that in the UK

9:15 am

klaurel: I LOVE thunder and lightening/storms :)

9:15 am

yech - all that authority and ranking at such establishments. Makes my skin crawl

9:16 am

fmitch: true, but we had a nice storm here recently, must have struck about 30 times in the space of quater of an hour

9:16 am

Its okay, I like the rain, it means nice green grass and fresh veggies and a low water bill. :) 'Course, I don;t like the flckering power (four times, had to come down in the middle of the night and turn off computers and I have to reset the TiVo easter eggs on all three of them! and cleaning up the branches! UGH!

9:18 am

there we go again eh, fmitch :)

9:22 am

9:23 am

amandacath: tell me about it! Put in a good 10 words earlier and waited *4* minutes for a response to the first!

10:21 am

10:21 am

Hi amanda---don't understand your clue

10:21 am

de5/14 - sounds like what a base ball catcher might take off at the end of a game (sort of)

10:22 am

good clue, fmitch@ :-)

10:23 am

better than mine!

10:23 am

lol thanks

10:23 am

Thanks, Mitch--still dumb enough to not understand though. Can you tell me which of the 2 d's to start with?

10:24 am

Sorry for the slooooow site this morning. I was doing some stuff on the server and it was really slowing things down. It *should* be smooth sailing now. (fingers crossed)

10:24 am

de catcher caught de ball in de5/14

10:24 am

un-putoutpoisonousgasses?

10:25 am

And I finally got de point. Ta! Good clue

10:25 am

might i just have a hint for tw7?

10:25 am

lovely torgone.

10:25 am

I also changed how words are checked against the puzzle and the dictionary, so let me know if there is any weirdness when adding words.

10:26 am

ooh, what do you mean, doc? how did you change it?

10:26 am

lol torgone!

10:26 am

hurshy- Just behind the scenes stuff.

10:26 am

10:28 am

morning everyone!

10:28 am

hey, fiz!

10:28 am

Thanks, Dr_God, for always being there behind the scenes

10:28 am

Hi Fiz, Hi Hursh!

10:29 am

hi there dr_g, thanks for tinkering!

10:29 am

when joe torre was catching for the cardinals in the 60's he shied away from a collision at home plate and was therafter known as chicken catcher torre

10:29 am

fiz, what a sad tennis story :-(

10:29 am

ouch!! :-D

10:30 am

thanks for reading une! it was *really* sad at the time - I can laugh at it now.

10:30 am

chj, always weighing in with a non sequitur...you're a nut, and among this crew, that's really saying something.

dr. god - if you're still here - have the stats been running - i've completed a week's worth in a row and my ranking has increased a point or two...

10:31 am

I'll check out the rankings

10:31 am

wadda ya mean fiz, it was a followup on the de5 clue

10:31 am

morning TO!

TY! morning, all - gtg - bbl

10:32 am

fireworks...

10:32 am

Yay Angel!

10:32 am

congrats, angel!!!

10:32 am

*scrolling* still a non sequitur, chj - just a little window into your stream of consciousness.

10:32 am

bye to, yay angel!

10:34 am

fiz i have a similar phobia...i wont play a sport where my opponent is on the same side of the court as me...i was playing racquetball when my eye got in the way of my opponents followthrough....similar ending to your story only with lots of stitches above my eye

10:35 am

yay angel

10:36 am

Sorry again. I'm running the "update rankings" script, and it's a doozy so things will be slow for minute or two here...

10:36 am

Dr_G - it's slowing down again!!!

10:36 am

dead stop

10:36 am

the stream of my consciousness is loaded with flotsam and jetsam

10:36 am

wait 'til the theme is lacrosse - i've got a *great* story for that, involving 53 stitches and being called "the elephant man" in the hallway at high school.

10:37 am

A clue on the di 6, 27?

10:38 am

Dr._God...how do some have a score of 1031 for the past 30 days?

10:38 am

bring forth the royal di6 and crown him Lord of all...

10:38 am

chj- I think some people got double scores for the puzzle during "moving day" a few days ago.

10:39 am

ah lacrosse...i could tell ya bloodcurddling stories [said in the voice of barry fitzgerald from the quiet man]

10:39 am

good one hursh - how 'bout a nudge on that tw7? I still haven't found it

10:39 am

aha

10:39 am

thanks for the info dr. god

10:39 am

if you play golf with 4 people it's a ********, if you play with half that many in scotland it's a....

10:39 am

the kicker is i didn't play lacrosse (see story for ball-phobia)

10:40 am

i got hit in the adams apple by a redirect in lacrosse practice...couldnt breath for two minutes

10:40 am

The Fiz, that is a scary story. I don't blame you at all

10:40 am

ooookkkk - got it, thanks. Strange word!

10:41 am

yikes chj! sounds frightening.

10:41 am

tw4/8

10:42 am

chj **** the night before Christmas

10:42 am

tw4/8 the night before christmas, and all through the house...

10:42 am

he knows, it was just saying the experience was frightening.

10:42 am

Shakespeare might have sung: "tw4/8 late in the evening"

10:42 am

ahh, great minds think alike, Fiz

10:42 am

no that was a comment not a request for a clue...as in "it was" or tw4/8

10:43 am

tw4/8 frightening

10:43 am

the flotsam and jetsam fiz

10:43 am

Ahhhhh

10:43 am

see, great minds think alike, but the greatest minds know what chj is thinking ;)

10:44 am

Great story fiz ..

10:44 am

duh. my brain feels like the server over the last few days. flotsam and jetsam clogging up the stream. lol hursh!

10:44 am

the TW 5 would be helpful

10:44 am

10:44 am

10:47 am

10:47 am

10:48 am

os4 greek mountain

10:48 am

10:48 am

and which some of us will have the luxury to pay into for our entire working lives just in time to have it crash and burn as we prepare to retire. That one, hursh?

Too bad it'll be bankrupt by the time we are ready to be paid...

10:48 am

Got it...thanks!

10:48 am

Got it...thanks!

10:48 am

10:49 am

oh douglas, so glad you are here, today's Set puzzle was so easy, i got it in 21 seconds, is that a new record?

10:49 am

that's the one, fiz

10:49 am

so it's a greek mountain? i always though it meant "bone".

10:50 am

I think so! The best I know of is 30 seconds by Debra Hamel. 21 seconds is a significant improvement.

10:50 am

me too, fiz!

10:50 am

have you done it yet? you'll see what i mean, so easy.

10:51 am

looks like we're all right, une. both definitions included. phew!

10:51 am

errr..morning all! What is a set puzzle..am I missing a game?..(needs to know)

10:51 am

10:52 am

I just did the puzzle, hurshy, and I see what you mean...I took 58 seconds...

10:53 am

I just did the puzzle, hurshy, and I see what you mean...I took 58 seconds...

10:54 am

easy today, set

10:54 am

is the board needing a caffine boost today?

10:54 am

Hi Stid

10:54 am

btw - got a brace for my hurt wrist and though it slows down my typing it is a wonderful thing. i'm pretty much back to full functionality.

10:54 am

no, not like tennis at all

10:54 am

thanks, hersh..

10:54 am

hi stid!

10:55 am

when was that carpel tunnel built anyway

10:55 am

hey liana - where do we catch your swim team?

10:55 am

glad you got the brace, Fiz--- but still rest frequently and keep taking the anti-inflammatory medication as long as the doctor said! *fuss fuss*

10:55 am

seriously, hope your felling better fiz

10:55 am

I think that was just before the "Big Dig" chj... same engineer, I heard!

10:55 am

HAHA..fiz. its purely in jest..

10:56 am

BUT..if you want to audition I think it can be arranged..bwaaaaaahahahahaha

10:56 am

hi all!

10:56 am

hey there hi there

10:56 am

hi, there.hi there!

10:56 am

now is that redundant or what?..

10:57 am

lol liana - i think i'm missing some of the requisite equipment! thanks everyone - i'm trying to be nice - and i've gotten out off a whole array of household chores :)

10:57 am

greetings, esteemed Hi there! *grin*

10:57 am

hola, hi there!

10:57 am

always look on the bright side of life, fiz

10:57 am

ummmm..i can donate a swim cap with daisies..as for the other stuff..youre either born with it or NOT..(geez)

10:58 am

whee! I got an 8 all by myself!

10:58 am

First MI please

10:59 am

yay stid.

10:59 am

go stidmama

10:59 am

i still need an eight and the doggone 9

10:59 am

first mi usually ends with a, but here it is cut off.

10:59 am

swimcap with daisies would be quite nice, i think. but it wouldn't make up for the other stuff. maybe the costume designer from boogie nights could help?

10:59 am

not to mention 82 others.

10:59 am

I only need another 173!

10:59 am

some football teams play inside, some play in open stadiums, and some have se9

11:00 am

FIZ!! ther is no other stuff..Its a nude syncronized swimming team..think, think!!

11:00 am

I just wrote a post about your Bob-Beamonish time on the set puzzle, hurshy

11:00 am

umm liana - nude *male* team - clearly missing other stuff....

11:00 am

was it the half pantheonic roof or the thing the detective did, stid?

11:00 am

aha..so , fergit it..eh?..(is laughing)

11:01 am

ever notice how moms can mess your plans? mom calls me up and wants me to go shopping with her, so, she bribes me with a trip to Wolfgang Puck Express (which I have been wanting to try) and she pays. Sigh I am so weak

11:01 am

It was the detective thing, chj. now I need to look for the roof! thanks...

11:01 am

klaurel, what is Wolfgang Puck Express?

11:01 am

get up on the roof and youll find the 9 too

11:02 am

its like a quick lunch type Wolfgang restaurant

11:02 am

who's bob beamon?

11:03 am

Does that mean free food, laurel? I'm *always* bribable on that - I'll even quit babbling for it!

11:03 am

tractor trailer + a follically challenged person is a chrome ***

11:03 am

that sounds wonderful KLaurel

11:03 am

will tell you about it when I get back. :) Yes, I am quitting for lunch!! :)

11:03 am

I have to wait for my insignificant otherto get home. He is a catastrophic insurance agent..he might know about roofs

11:03 am

later klaurel!

11:03 am

enjoy!

11:03 am

lol klaurel! my parents are coming to visit for labor day weekend, and my sister and i have both figured out how we're going to get a trip to ikea and home depot out of them!

11:04 am

thanks, reminded my mother that we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago and spent TOO MUCH MONEY, so, no fripperies until the credit card rolls over. :)

11:04 am

liana - think half of a top. or cover. ;-)

11:04 am

liana -- do you mean that he is not a good insurance agent (all his clients have catastrophes) or that he deals with catastrophy insurance...???

11:04 am

meant to say - put those things together for 1 8 and the plural is the 9

11:05 am

liana, if he's so bad at his job, maybe he should find something new... ;-)

11:05 am

what you said mama..he only deals with hurricanes, hail storms, tornados n stuff..leaves time for him to indulge in his hunting frenzies.

11:05 am

You know, Fiz, I used to be that way, but now I have two kids, a dog, a nice home and a husband that makes just under 6-figures, I can't ask my mom for money any more!

11:05 am

Hi Wolvie

11:11 am

ed4/6 what steve urkel used to call his winslow buddy on family matters (and then 2 letter pl)

11:11 am

Is first MI a center prefix?

11:11 am

ed 4/6 the unpronounceable babblet

11:11 am

11:11 am

um hursh are you just going down the list? b/c i'm slow and gimpy right now....

11:11 am

i'm going down the list and picking out the oddest ones

11:12 am

id4/6 like a single piece of fruit but with a d not a t

11:12 am

the im's mostly you take the t off the beginning of ti5, shy, and then fiddle with the endings

11:13 am

except for the last one which sounds like another thing your little brother can be

11:13 am

Fireworks! Anyone need a clue?

11:13 am

congrats, hydra!

11:13 am

yay hydra!

11:13 am

11:48 am

I'm getting the list and finishing before anything else happens!

11:49 am

weird behavior? no kidding!!!!

11:49 am

Weird behavior besides the server crashing constantly. ;)

11:50 am

is it because of the size of the grids, or is that just a coinky-dink?

11:50 am

Just a coinky-dink

11:51 am

12:27 pm

what a detective did, abe

12:28 pm

thanks amanda

12:28 pm

yw

12:29 pm

I have a random-sounding question for those who know Sprite. What sort of tree would you think of when thinking of Sprite?

12:29 pm

What letter does this other 8 start with? (not the se)...

12:30 pm

A belching tree?

12:30 pm

also an s, Gadget

12:30 pm

clue for the se8 please?

12:30 pm

partial roof?

12:30 pm

brb

12:31 pm

thanks abe!

12:31 pm

Ata - hmmm, something peppy, if a tree can be peppy...not a willow, not an aspen, not a mimosa, not an oak...

12:31 pm

yw smaller

12:31 pm

so 7/36?

12:31 pm

Atalante - silver birch

12:32 pm

amanda, the whomping willow from harry potter had some zip to it

12:32 pm

so7/36 - frontier houses roofed with chunks of growing grass

12:32 pm

I know its a strange question lol, I'm designing a tree tattoo for her, and I'm just interested in how others would "translate" her as a tree

12:32 pm

whomping willow! is that a complement or not LOL!

12:33 pm

this is true, smaller. I was thinking more along the lines of weeping willow = not Sprite

12:33 pm

complement or compliment?

12:33 pm

Hi can I please have an as5 clue?

12:34 pm

ermmmm whichever lol can't spell today :P

12:34 pm

lol ata

12:35 pm

atalante-i don't know sprite but i like the whomping willow. it's very ... "sassy". is sprite sassy?

12:35 pm

yes, I think we'd describe Sprite as sassy

12:35 pm

there are days when i would LOVE to be the whomping willow

12:35 pm

hmm. I can get the first 3 letters from your so7/36 clue Vicuna, but not the last 4

12:36 pm

how 'bout the tree of knowlede of good and evil? Or what's that Saxon tree at the middle of the world? *googles*

12:36 pm

Hi can I please have an as5 clue?

12:36 pm

there are days I'd like to whomp a willow...

12:36 pm

Inge, think of it as an adj having to do with the first three letters, then make it pl.

12:36 pm

lupe, isn't that banned in certain states? hahahaaha

12:36 pm

(Inge2, that is!)

12:36 pm

only if your caught

12:36 pm

ata, i don't know sprite but there's the story in greek mythology where daphne, running, changes into a tree, a bay laurel i think

12:37 pm

Yggdrasil? actually, I've been thinking along those lines

12:37 pm

as 5/10: rear end + ai

12:37 pm

LOLOLOLOL

12:37 pm

that's it Ata! You're faster than google!

12:37 pm

thanks

12:37 pm

Got it, Vicuna, new word for me. thx

12:37 pm

Tree of Life is a pretty much universal symbol, with minor changes according to culture.

12:38 pm

bbl

12:38 pm

perhaps I should start up a new search engine then and make tonnes of money :)

12:39 pm

...**** kindles the fires of American history."

12:40 pm

oil isn't in there, Douglas .... :P

12:41 pm

No, but it should be...

12:41 pm

If there were oil in the grid, there's be companies drilling it and the whole grid would be ruined for everyone else.

12:42 pm

(I mean "there'd be")

12:42 pm

very true, Vic!

12:42 pm

Or the US would invade it ..

12:43 pm

I'm at halfway! Woo-hoo! I'm going to lunch! bbl all

12:43 pm

But luckily no oil... just an almost limitless supply of ernes and etnas.

ooh I have an issue with so7,36 .. its a plural word, yet the singular isnt allowed? aagh!

12:46 pm

Lesson Number 1: the Babble dictionary makes no sense. Lesson Number 2: Now that you're annoyed about some inconsistency, the Babble dictionary still makes no sense.

12:47 pm

Wise words, vic ..

12:47 pm

xunil: in this case, the singular is spelled with a "Y"

hehehe . thanks

12:47 pm

Lesson Number 3: you can get sympathy from your fellow Babblers, but the Enable dictionary will NEVER make sense.

12:47 pm

It's a plural of SODDY

12:47 pm

(No, actually the -ie ending is an acceptable alternate.)

12:49 pm

it's not a real word anyway, is it?

12:49 pm

Hi can I please have a clue for the last de 5?

12:49 pm

Yes, amandacath, this one really is legit!

12:50 pm

well, whaddya know! Lara - got divorced?

lara - morning watered

hey smaller! hey all!

12:51 pm

Hello, Temple Owl.

12:51 pm

thanks for the clue?

12:52 pm

amandacath are you talking to me?

12:52 pm

yeah, Lara - more like annulled the marriage (although it actually means what xuni said, but that's not as much fun)

12:53 pm

Oh ok I was confused thinking nooo I m stilled married

12:54 pm

Not too many people think divorce is fun, amandacath! :)

12:54 pm

oh, now I see the confusion

12:54 pm

(though admittedly I've never tried it myself)

12:54 pm

Hiya! hey Temple and smaller!

12:55 pm

although some people must think so, Vic - they do it often enough!

12:55 pm

It's a veritable hobby for some, i guess!

12:55 pm

Hey ypsi areyou out there...

12:56 pm

Freedom for some ..

12:56 pm

hey chic and temple owl!! nice to see you ladies!

12:56 pm

12:57 pm

(Just teasing, Torgone. I know you don't feel too cheerful about your ex!)

12:57 pm

12:57 pm

(Cheerful that she IS ex, though)

1:07 pm

so many of the 7s are nonesensical (and similar) today.

1:07 pm

1:07 pm

1:10 pm

many of the 7s end like ki**** (children) or old bi**** (old women)

1:22 pm

yes annie. it's like a weight's been lifted. i can comfortably loaf around today.

1:23 pm

I view that Trillian as a perfect icon of the times -- it just makes the show sillier.

1:42 pm

you should, stid - its *fab*!

1:43 pm

he5/22 - what George Washington did to the cherry tree wood.

1:43 pm

So does anyone know why Lickety has 2 more words than the Babble Page word list?

1:45 pm

So what happens if everyone tells jokes so funny that Amy and Fiz can't help laughing out loud?

1:45 pm

Fiz, just read the story on your profile -- so sorry! Similar to the reason I don't play volleyball. Who knew a nun could lob one of those things so hard?

a termite walks into a bar and says...

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

True, Stidmama

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

ooh, very funny

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

ahhh - a string with a fringe, eh?

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

ed6 - last name of one of Jack the Ripper's victim....

1:49 pm

Sorry, didn't know littlies were about .. I won't even go near the dirty punchline then ...

1:49 pm

Oh, now I'm all backwards, peri. But you've been clued for noth, just in the wrong order!

1:49 pm

he walks back into the bar, and the bartender eyes him suspiciously. "aren't you a string?" asks the bartender?

1:49 pm

I meant second ed4/6

1:49 pm

(Clued for both, I mean.)

1:50 pm

thanks tor. *smoothes out ruffled mama feathers*

1:50 pm

No, I am KNOT!

1:50 pm

the string looks at the bartender innocently and says, "no, i'm a frayed knot". (better aloud)

1:50 pm

ROFL hysterically at Vi's joke!

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

(Oh, yeah, Fiz, that's better your way.)

1:51 pm

I dunno. What do you do when you see a spaceman?

1:54 pm

1:54 pm

grant says "take him to my leader"

1:54 pm

Though I must say, with all these animals always walking into bars and stores and such, how come I've never managed to see one?

1:55 pm

park in it, man!

1:55 pm

I think the correct thing to do would be to say, "How do you do?"

1:55 pm

hehe

1:55 pm

wocka wocka wocka. i'll be here all week.

1:56 pm

grant got it! he thinks that is really clever!

1:57 pm

ooh ooh stid what?

1:57 pm

My chestnut tree in front of the house ___has A chestnut on it___ for the first time since I planted it 6 years ago! :-)

1:57 pm

I wasn't sure I would ever get any.... so this is really cool. And I can see it when I sit on the sofa with the computer!

1:57 pm

cool, my marigold plant is finally blooming. (small steps for the black thumb)

1:57 pm

YAY for the chestnut.

1:58 pm

*singing* chestnut roasting on an open fire...

1:58 pm

That is cool, stidmama.

1:58 pm

ah stid, takes me back, there was a long row of them up the street on my way to first grade

1:58 pm

all right, wassup!!!! our marigolds are healthy, but were planted late so not quite to bloom stage.

1:58 pm

Oh I have been watching your jokes. Finally decided to take the plunge today and ***Fireworks*** in spite of all the slowness and troubles with the grid.....however, I have worked myself into a frazzle...and now don't know if I am able to do any of my real work, how are you today???

1:58 pm

such beautiful blooms

1:58 pm

are we talking puzzle-wise or in general? because puzzle-wise i am sucking

1:58 pm

yay nancy! i haven't done a full day of work since i discovered babble!

1:59 pm

Hello, Nancy. Congrats on the fireworks!

1:59 pm

congrats, nancy!

1:59 pm

I really like to eat chestnuts, and I don't think the squirrels will get to them... of course the blooms on the edible trees are not as spectacular as horse chestnuts, but i was satisfied.

1:59 pm

YAY Nancy!

1:59 pm

congrats on finishing Nancy

1:59 pm

Babble comes before all, except chocolate.

1:59 pm

oh, that's what i meant...

1:59 pm

oooh, nice icon uneaixoise

2:00 pm

them's mah boys!

2:00 pm

Hooray Nancy!!!!! I'm in fairly fine fettle today. Also avoiding work like mad. .

2:00 pm

and now I really really am heading out for a bit. Laundry needs folding and kids need mama-ing. see you tonight

2:00 pm

can we share?

2:00 pm

Stuck again. I need the sh 4,5 and at the end of the list sh 4,6 and sh 6,24. Thanx

2:00 pm

that was such a great match they had at wimbledon

2:01 pm

ARB, isn't that the truth....I have been adicted to this game for ages but can't play when the grid is so large that I don't get any work done at work.

2:01 pm

indeed!

2:01 pm

taking the kids with you stid? b/c i've got another joke that would require some 'splainin that i'm sure you don't want to do...

2:01 pm

my daughter just dropped a scrapbook and it exploded.

2:01 pm

sh 4/5 is past tense for a vulgar expression

2:01 pm

ohhhhh, no, wassup.

2:01 pm

work is overrated Nancy

2:01 pm

yep. kids are heading out -- though I don't know about other people's youngsters...

2:01 pm

take away her pennies wassup!

2:01 pm

OK, I wondered about that. Thanx. And the ones at the end of the sh list?

2:02 pm

yeah i'll ask around. not too far across the line but right on it...

2:02 pm

sh 4/6 is from an old Lil Abner cartoon -- a white caracter. sh 6/24 is the plural

2:02 pm

Lil Abner, I'm not that old. Now what do I do?

2:02 pm

she was all dramatic about it. "Mom! You HAVE to see this. I don't want to be in trouble! Please? Don't get me in trouble! Waaaah."

2:03 pm

hand her a glue stick and have her put it back together, wassup. merk - joe sh** - a regular guy

2:03 pm

Merk, it's also a slang expression for someone dumb and slow

2:03 pm

Abe, yes but I haven't figured out how to pay the mortgage without doing something resembling work.

2:04 pm

i'll let you know when i figure that one out, Nancy :)

2:04 pm

resembling being the operative word, nancy. you can look quite busy while babbling...

2:04 pm

That's me today ... dumb and slow. I can't figure how to go past using the w which I used in the sh 4,9 and 6,36.

2:05 pm

merk, look at the other sh

2:05 pm

sh + one of the 3 stooges

2:05 pm

Merk, go the other way on the grid -- up and left

2:05 pm

hey Merk, you Might want to use your iMitial

2:05 pm

Oh, yes Fiz, I have figured that out...otherwise I would have a serious case of Babble withdrawal. I am extremely good at resembling.......

2:06 pm

There's Moe, Curly, and the one I can't think of, right?

2:06 pm

Tor, what is it you are resembling today???

2:06 pm

evening all

2:06 pm

Try the first one you said without the last letter

2:06 pm

I'm right there with you, Nancy .. I mostly sit at a computer all day, so Babble is a natural ..

2:07 pm

moe seems to have had a terrible stooge related accident in which he lost the last letter on his name, merck

2:07 pm

iMitial ?

2:07 pm

hi oggy

2:07 pm

fireworks

2:08 pm

i'M trying to give you a hiMt, Merk - give a little poetic license.

2:08 pm

YAY Sha.

2:08 pm

Yay for sha.

2:08 pm

yay sha!

2:08 pm

I am dying of laughter. What a hoot! Thanx. I am one of those today.

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

Congrats!

2:08 pm

yay sha!

2:09 pm

2:09 pm

congrats, sha!

2:09 pm

so - a penguin is driving through the desert when his car breaks down.

2:09 pm

Usually, I resemble a bag of bowling balls in a chair ..

2:09 pm

Well, calendar boy, with the previous life you have had, you need to sit down for awhile. Honestly, yo are such a trip....

2:10 pm

And everyone says of torgone, "Now THERE is a guy with some serious balls!"

2:10 pm

he manages to get himself to a gas station before it completely dies. the mechanic takes a look at him sitting there sweating, and tells him to wait inside while the mechanic puts the car up on the lift.

2:11 pm

lol vicuna! i can't quite picture a bag of bowling balls in a chair but i'm sure it's charming.

2:11 pm

the penguin goes inside the office where there's a big chest freezer - he pulls it open and hops inside to wait.

2:12 pm

cojone's

2:12 pm

OMG, I used to be an avid bowler and the image you have created is hilarious....what a hoot you are.

2:12 pm

that was for tor. ;-)

2:12 pm

wolfgang puck express is SO not worth going to :)

2:12 pm

the mechanic walks around the car, puts it on the lift, looks under the chassis, hems and haws and checks out the various tubes and hoses.

2:13 pm

sorry klaurel. good to know.

2:13 pm

uh oh, i'm sorry you were disappointed klaurel

2:13 pm

Thank you ..

2:13 pm

now, if this grid will load. GRRRRRRRR

2:13 pm

to bad, kl - hope the grid loads

2:13 pm

it wasn't so much disappointment as in, I expected kinda a faster gourmet meal, when the stuff there was pretty m uch what i can get anywhere else

first time here...finally figured out what the grid was on bottom...great puzzle...

i like the fact that there is no time limit...you can really take your time an dlook at it...

2:14 pm

so...the mechanic figures out the problem and walks inside to tell the penguin the problem.

2:14 pm

so it was lacking in the 'gourmet' aspect

2:15 pm

Not only "can" you, scorpioba, but you WILL...

2:15 pm

He pulls open the freezer and says, "looks like you blew a seal". and the penguin wipes his mouth and says, "no, it's just ice cream".

lol

2:15 pm

abe, pretty much. :) I had a salad (which was yummy, but nothing special) and my mom had BBQ rotisserie chicken, which was yummy, but I can get at my grocery store

2:23 pm

Fiz, For heaven's sake, you have oodles of issues. No wonder you are so funny and sick.

2:23 pm

2:24 pm

2:24 pm

magzel hearing ai4

2:24 pm

2:25 pm

mag. as.5=your rear end and 2 vowels

2:25 pm

zip back jeans with little bows on the ankles with white pumps, wassup.

2:25 pm

jeans, for sure

2:25 pm

2:25 pm

Anything Brittney Spears would wear

2:25 pm

daisy dukes and a ripped white tank top covering a black bra.. oh and bare feet

2:25 pm

i used to have acid washed jeans with the zipper and the bows...

2:25 pm

or an oversize nascar shirt tied up at the hip.

2:25 pm

too true, tor

2:26 pm

i actually have all that amy...

2:26 pm

thanks for the as. i have the hearing **** one

2:26 pm

2:26 pm

Hello froe

2:27 pm

hey girlies. supwitchoo?

2:27 pm

well, i have it at my fingertips...i can cut some old jeans and stain one of my husbands "wife beaters"

2:27 pm

what up froe? holla!

2:27 pm

thank you, got it now

2:27 pm

hehehe!

2:28 pm

wassup the jeans have to be so tight that you have to undo the zippers to get them over your feet, and that you need a pair of pliers to zip the fly.

2:28 pm

wassup, it's all about either cut-offs and heels or cut-offs and boots

2:28 pm

i could just go like i'm dressed right now. unshowered, stretched out old sweats, t-shirt and my scratched crooked glasses... yeah, i'm hot.

2:28 pm

froe - *love* your icon (and Labyrinth, too).

2:29 pm

hey, wassup, thats the other way to go. just drop a little nacho cheese or bbq sauce down the front of the shirt.

2:29 pm

my sister is going to take her two babies in just their diapers.

2:29 pm

why, thank you charm :)

2:29 pm

i like that idea fiz

2:29 pm

she needs to make sure they have something sticky all over them

2:29 pm

do the sweats have those little pills all over the backside? b/c that's *key*

2:29 pm

i should smell like smoke and beer too...

2:30 pm

LOL fiz...

2:30 pm

eat some cheese curls first and wipe your hands on the hem.

2:30 pm

wassup, have you seen the "Vacation" movies? you could dress up like Randy Quaid's character (who is actually int he grid today)

2:31 pm

"that there's a RV. Don't go falling in love with it though. I'm taking it with me when I leave here next month"

2:31 pm

mmm.... cheese curls *drool*..........

2:31 pm

black dickie with a white sweater...

2:31 pm

and i would say *defintely* show up with a jello/coolwhip mold with the fruit slices suspended it it. i've got a great recipe for one from my grandmother.

2:31 pm

dashs

2:31 pm

or you could add kitty food to the mix??

2:31 pm

woops sorry

2:32 pm

mmm, kitty food.

2:32 pm

sarah, you sicko.

2:32 pm

"save the neck for me, clark"

2:33 pm

i'm half NY jew and half midwestern fundamentalist semi-white-trash - talk about funny and sick, you should be around the table for thanksgiving dinner.

2:33 pm

i was thinking about going to goodwill today to get some inspiration. maybe a looney toons t-shirt will catch my eye.

2:33 pm

you could wear a looney toons tee with a skirt

2:33 pm

abe, that's a family favorite. the movie, not the neck.

2:33 pm

that's the route your mom and haley went

2:33 pm

i love haley's

2:33 pm

wow, abe we're thinking alike?

2:34 pm

same here wassup! my mom and i are constantly quoting it...

2:34 pm

you know what else would be good would be a pantera/motorhead/other sucky metal band shirt.

2:34 pm

great minds think alike, wassup :)

2:34 pm

awesome. i need to get some blue eyeshadow and aquanet too

2:34 pm

or white jeans. white jeans go with everything.

2:34 pm

mmm, white jeans

2:34 pm

they do indeed fiz

2:34 pm

i need the first di 6/27 please and di 4/5 the last one please

2:34 pm

especially if they'r really really tight and you've got a darker panty line.

2:35 pm

talk about HOT. smokin'

2:35 pm

my sister just went to a vow renewal for a couple at her church. they've only been married 8 years... she said she got some serious inspiration for the party.

2:36 pm

i like the idea of 90's neon spandex.....

2:36 pm

magzel- short for father, add a vowel + rapper whose real name is marshal mathers

2:36 pm

ha5/16 please

2:37 pm

speaking of which - do you smoke, wassup? b/c it's super white trash to actually chain smoke - light one off the other. or to bring your own foam beer can cozy.

2:37 pm

ooh, the foam beer can cozy is a good one

2:37 pm

i don't smoke, but i can!

2:38 pm

and you have to be holding a messy baby on your hip

2:38 pm

i also need to go to one of those vending machines that sell the really quality fake tattoos. need to have one on my cleavage

2:38 pm

and isn't it interesting that "white trash" is both a racial and classist slur and yet we all feel comfortable using it. just a sociological observation before i return to giving advice.

2:38 pm

and the ashes from you cigarette should be falling on the baby

2:38 pm

ha 5/16 sounds like god of t he underworld, past tense

2:39 pm

*your

heehee

2:39 pm

ohh, yeah, annie. let the ash from the cigarette get really really long and fall on everything.

2:39 pm

i should just crash the party in my zombie garb and eat all the trashy humans... mmmm.. the other white (trash) meat.

2:39 pm

thanks abe, had the singular and plural but not past tense

2:39 pm

you should come!

2:40 pm

LOL I wish I could see this party! You should post photos in Babblers Anonymous Wassup -sounds like the Golsie Hawn part in Overboard!

2:40 pm

yw peri. the party sounds like fun wassup

2:40 pm

oops Goldie

2:40 pm

i can't drink for a week due to crappy antibiotics!! *grumble grumble* *shakes fist*

2:41 pm

NM fund it

2:41 pm

found it

2:41 pm

tons and tons of pabst, no doubt

2:41 pm

i suggest Hi-C and vodka spritzers if the cheap beer doesnt' get you going.

2:41 pm

haha!

2:42 pm

jaime- wi 6 has the double consonant, sounds like k****** pool

2:42 pm

wassup do you know how to shotgun beer cans? my cousin taught me when we were kids. very trashy.

2:42 pm

mmmm, pbr. love 'em both - the beer and the bull riding.

2:42 pm

2:44 pm

2:45 pm

i like to say, froe, that pbr/natural light/etc. are like someone dranka guiness and peed it out into the can. none of the buzz but all of the calories!

2:45 pm

jaime - 4 peole playing golf are a four so4/5. take the scottish form of 2 and add so4/5.

2:46 pm

true, i must admit. but i think the ABSOLUTE worst beer in the world is budweiser. it just ain't right. i'll drink virtually anything but bud. and mactarnahans

2:46 pm

ei5/12 please

2:46 pm

ahhh, thanks!

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

Thanks, abe. I was sure I had that one

2:51 pm

I'm not loving this season either - some of the cahracters are great but a lot of the good ones - that weird guy from taiwan especially - got bumped off early.

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

yay merk!

2:51 pm

PI 5/22?

2:51 pm

it seems very fixed this season

2:51 pm

congrats, merk

2:51 pm

PR 5/14 (last one)

2:52 pm

it seems like that happens to many reality shows - people start to figure out the "types" and then they pick one to play, just as the producers figure out what the audience is into and amplifies that - the whole thing winds up seeming a little hollow.

2:52 pm

laurel = its a type of number

2:53 pm

or a kind of rib.

2:53 pm

ME 5/14 second one

2:53 pm

like they have to keep somebody who is a jerk, even if he/ she isn't talented

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg

2:53 pm

thanks, Annie

2:56 pm

Wi 5/28, an man with a wife who died

2:56 pm

2:56 pm

abe don't get your clue, when

2:57 pm

I got the wi5 thanks

2:57 pm

i'm trying to clue this one without using words from the grid

2:57 pm

and how many letters long it will be?

2:57 pm

2:57 pm

Jill, scroll down to Angelsong or Lickety Babble clues

i think i am doing pretty good

135 words left

2:58 pm

FYI, the wi5/28 is a woman whose husband has died and not the other way around :)

2:58 pm

the man who lost is wife is not in the grid

754 pts

2:58 pm

judy massive slacking. if you focus on the grid and let the world around you fall apart it's easy.

yes he is....

2:58 pm

right fiz, never do remember those! never having been either

2:58 pm

ew4/8 means: starts with ew, has 4 letters; worth 8 points

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

any clues for last do5/22 please

3:04 pm

3:04 pm

The game uses the Enable Dictionary as the arbiter of which words are accepted. It was compiled by illiterate bush babies in the tenth century.

3:04 pm

yes jilli, thought it was you !

3:04 pm

that explains why all those archaic currencies are accepted.

3:04 pm

i like the illiterate bush babies phrase.

3:05 pm

4:12 pm

yessssssssss

4:12 pm

he says, "we can do something about that!" He picks her up and strolls down the beach with her in his arms.

a grasshopper walks into the bar and takes a seat. the bartender says, "hey, did you know theres a drink named after you?" and the grasshopper says, "really?! you got a drink named Murray?!"

There's a guy sitting at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour. Soon, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand seeing a man crying." "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I'm late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen. "The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar.

let's see the last sentence read, " Chapter Twenty-Six story began 9:13 pm August 23 When we last saw Paul and Gilly, they were off to sleep, after spending several hours watching over their daughter, Doris. Paul was about to tell Gilly something he thought the children shouldn't be told. As Paul pulled back the covers, Gilly shook out her robe and set it across the end of the bed. She stretched her neck tiredly, and started to re-braid her hair. Paul watched her appreciatively. "You know, Gilly, you have changed, but only a little." She blushed and climbed into bed, pulling the blanket up over her shoulders. "What do you mean, Paul?" Gilly considered the gray hairs, the wrinkles, the freckles on her arms from being in the sun. She thought of the change in her figure as her body rearranged itself. Paul turned out the light and snuggled, "I mean, you still smile like you did when we were younger, but your eyes now tell me that you appreciate the reasons to smile." "Your hands are scarred a bit from doing more work than you should, but they remain gentle and capable." "And where you used to be have angles and edges -- " Gilly hit him with a pillow. "Stop right there, Mister!" Paul laughed, "See what I mean? Still can't compliment you on your looks!" Gilly put her pillow back and snuggled, enjoying just being still and quiet. "Paul," she whispered after a few minutes, "what was it that you wanted to tell me when the boys came in?" Paul pulled back and turned out the lamp. He grew distant and his voice quivered a bit. "She knew, Gilly -- she knew everything, it seemed." **into Paul mode without quotes on everything...** She knew where I had been, and that I had traveled several years to get there. She knew that I was married, and had many children. She knew that I was a farmer... I tried to ask her how she knew these things, but she always answered, "Some things are not for you to know yet." She did tell me that the men had been wearing chains to pull the trunk -- they didn't use leather straps or ropes for pulling the heaviest loads. She didn't tell me what was in the trunk, but she hinted that it was probably best that I not ask about it when other people were around. It was all very mysterious. But most of the ride that day was pleasant enough. She would point things out and tell me the names in three languages: ours, hers and the local tongue which was not familiar to me. The oak tree she called "house wood" and the eagle was "carrion thief" -- the pretty flower you make calming tea from was "sleep herb" and the spring bitter leaf was "iron heart." I can't remember most of the lessons, but it all made sense when she spoke. I thought often of Ava, and the long walks I would take with her and Cathy, gathering berries and roots from the edges of the fields and woods. About lunch time, we stopped at a small village that had an inn at the far side of town. I helped her out of the cart. She seemed a bit taller to me, but I thought little of it. We walked in, and the innkeeper's daughter brought good wine immediately. The woman thanked her graciously in their language and we were soon served a simple but wonderfully cooked meal of grain and meat. As we left, the woman left a beautiful ring on the table. I was astonished, for I had not noticed any jewelry on her. We continued on, and as we moved through the valley, and the pass through the mountains came into view, I began to wonder how I came there and what would happen next."

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

My last word is the tw5,20, I have been clued several times, but can't get it. Help!!!

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

As the sky grew lighter, she began to sing in a strange tongue, and I learned the chorus well enough to accompany her.

10:08 pm

haha! we're a perfect pair!

10:09 pm

bubba, it's a very mild insult, sometimes spelled with a different vowel

10:09 pm

and, amylou, it is a chatterbox, not a clue hotline

10:09 pm

so if you need a clue and didn't get it, ask again

10:09 pm

nicely

10:09 pm

amylou i do not have the word you're looking for. sorry.

10:09 pm

wi 7 is plural of wi 6 which is wi + double consonant + third and second vowels

10:09 pm

politely

10:10 pm

jbp, trying to think of a clue...lawn comes in rolls of this and now you want to double the third letter and add third, second vowel and snake letter

10:10 pm

ois it the one about where you would be if you fell off a trapeze, amylou?

10:10 pm

Overhead, a flight of swallows joined in, weaving through the air as if dancing to the song.

10:10 pm
