whooooooey size DOES matter

12:04 am

Hi all

12:04 am

Holy behemoth Batman !

12:04 am

Size and nothing bigger than 8 letters!

12:04 am

si8

12:05 am

except, it seems hard

12:05 am

i thought big were supposed to be easy

12:05 am

we are talking about the grid aren't we?

12:06 am

no, we're talkin about you ru

12:09 am

you've fallen victim to the new hurshy policy "ask a suggestive question, get a suggestive answer"

12:09 am

down to my final 430

12:09 am

si8

12:09 am

LOL hursh

12:09 am

7-8 actually

12:09 am

evening all

12:10 am

Hi Mool

12:10 am

hey liz :)

12:10 am

is that si 7/8 truly? or is there another one

12:11 am

and hi, all

12:11 am

I have a si 7/32 8/45

12:11 am

si 8/70 too

12:12 am

ok, diving in, thanks!

12:12 am

are you being honest ru?

12:13 am

trying my best

12:13 am

:)

12:14 am

si7/56 too

12:14 am

indeed

12:15 am

maybe this is another duplex

12:17 am

re7/48

12:17 am

yeah, have that one

12:17 am

do you have the si 8/70?

12:17 am

yes

12:18 am

actually have 2 re 7/48

12:20 am

it is interesting that every letter has an even number

12:22 am

and I don't appear to have more than half of any tile yet

12:22 am

re7/40 too

12:23 am

we're gonna suspect this every grid forever now lol

12:23 am

well the "evenaninity" and the fact I don't have more than half any tile is very suspicious

12:25 am

I either have 270 left, or 55

12:25 am

co 7

12:27 am

And si 7/56

12:28 am

I bet the grid is 215

12:28 am

seems very likely that is true

12:29 am

Lickety is up and says 215

12:29 am

Just checked

12:29 am

si7 and 8

12:29 am

blimey

12:29 am

yeah.. I'm getting half a tile and no further.

12:29 am

i'll write to dr g

12:29 am

me too

12:30 am

now have 7 tiles with half way

12:30 am

I'll let Lickety know - it'll affect his list tomorrow.

12:30 am

Another double up by the look of it

12:30 am

nide

12:30 am

had that one anike

12:30 am

:D

12:30 am

oops

12:30 am

i wrote to doc

12:31 am

maybe you did too ru and he'll have DOUBLE the email lol

12:35 am

I wrote to Lickety and I'll do it again tomorrow if necessary

12:35 am

ye 7/8

12:37 am

it's not lickety who needs writing to

12:37 am

maybe he likes to receive email?

12:38 am

Lickety says

12:38 am

Lickety says 430. What is up?

12:39 am

liz said lickety said 215

12:39 am

The grid in Lickety's list is different than the grid in Babble's page. Also the date on his list is for Wed and today is Thursday, isn't it? I am so confused .......

12:40 am

I think you need to reload Lickety's page, bf - mine matches

12:41 am

241/26 to go

12:41 am

Good morning

12:41 am

hey there rubes

12:43 am

Now it matches but the number of words is 215 . It must have changed when I was typing before. What is the correct number of words?

12:43 am

I have Thurs. 6-29-17. The word count is 215. The tile stats says 430.

12:43 am

i think correct is 215.

12:43 am

would appear to be 215

12:43 am

just like two days ago

12:43 am

notice every tile is even

12:44 am

you'll also notice you can't get more than half of any tile

12:44 am

i bet doc is sick of maintaining the site and he's trying to gradually put people off playing

12:44 am

lol

12:45 am

he should put random words in then :)

12:45 am

or maybe even hide certain words in the gird

12:46 am

well, can't eyes my keep anymore open

12:46 am

night all

12:46 am

Sleep well, Mool

12:52 am

just reading back a bit here, my grid shows 430 words but seems some have otherwise??

12:53 am

I checked on Lickety, Flosey - he says 215. So I guess it's the same problem as happened a few days ago.

12:53 am

oh my!! so not worth bothering until it's corrected??

12:54 am

or follow Lickety!!

12:54 am

Ru and Hurshy emailed Dr God and I emailed Lickety. Hopefully Lickety will correct his list tomorrow.

12:54 am

Follow Lickety!

12:55 am

that would seem to make more sense, tks Liz

12:55 am

:)

12:56 am

Ugh. Huge grid *and* Lickety problems? One or the other, I'd deal with. But both: Good night. I'll see y'all tomorrow.

12:56 am

since word points are doubled does that mean there are on 5 8 letter words instead of 10?

12:56 am

Lickety is OK, Samantha.

12:56 am

I emailed him because with this glitch, his list won't automatically appear tomorrow.

12:57 am

I guess so, aeb

12:59 am

lickety isn't the problem, samantha, babble itself is

1:14 am

good morning all

1:14 am

Well, I have done 215 and agree with lickety so I guess I will say goodbye for now. Happy babbling everyone

1:16 am

well done anike

1:17 am

*hugs flosey*

1:19 am

hi there Sprite, quite a mixup here tonight

1:19 am

yeah, babble is being temperamental again, I see

1:19 am

Hi and hugs, Sprite

1:20 am

*hugs Liz* Thanks for the book! And the folder in our box :)

1:20 am

A pleasure. I'm really glad I was just messing around on her website, so discovered the book.

1:21 am

Thanks again for the ones you sent me.

1:21 am

looking forward to reading it.

1:21 am

my pleasure, Liz, always

1:21 am

Hubby got the book for me :)

1:22 am

good man! Thanks, Liz's hubby

1:22 am

I'll pass that on.

1:23 am

please do :) Have you heard from rose or matty? Did they meet yesterday?

1:23 am

No idea

1:23 am

Morning all

1:24 am

I would assume so though.

1:24 am

hiya Maisie!

1:24 am

Hi Maisie

1:24 am

Is Rose in England now?

1:25 am

as I understood, Maisie, yesterday evening they should have arrived at matty's for dinner.

1:25 am

I think so - Matty said yesterday that she was expecting them

1:26 am

Do you know how long they're staying there, Sprite?

1:26 am

We haven't got very nice weather for her, cloudy and drizzly

1:26 am

Probably warmer than Melbourne though.

1:27 am

I think she'll be so excited that the weather won't matter that much.

1:27 am

no, sorry. I have emailed Rose, but it looks like she doesn't have access to internet or something like it. Haven't heard back for a few days now.

1:27 am

17 degrees at the mo

1:27 am

Is Lickety off too? I have 219 already and I'm fumbling around looking for a few he has listed, but I have at least 10 he doesn't have

1:27 am

meeting with matty will have been heartwarming... who cares about weather then :)

1:27 am

No 13 degrees

1:27 am

When I looked at my phone weather this morning, it was 8 C in Melbourne (warmer where I am though)

1:28 am

hiya Kam :) *hug* I don't know, it seems to be a mess.

1:28 am

Lickety is OK as far as we know.

1:28 am

No the weather doesn't matter at all but we all like it nice to show off our countries at their best

1:28 am

Taking a break from this grid. Finding it hard however many words there are. Hugs and enjoy your days / nights.

1:29 am

very true, Maisie.

1:29 am

*hugs Luiz* Have a lovely evening.

1:29 am

Luiz? Liz!

1:30 am

My Spanish relative!!!! Hugs to Rose if you have contact.

1:30 am

will do :)

1:32 am

We are plagued with seagulls where I live. Nearly ever roof has a bird nesting there. A baby chick fell from our roof and is now walking about on the flat roof of our extension. Can't do anything about rescuing it as the adult birds dive bomb you if you try to go anywhere near. I just hope they keep feeding

1:33 am

actually, that is how it is supposed to work with seaguls. So don't worry.

1:35 am

looked up the translation, loooool... nidifugous bird.

1:35 am

Good I'd hate the poor little thing to die on our roof. So what does nidifufous mean and thank goodness I don't have to try to say it lol

1:36 am

I thought it might be because the same thing happened to me once. We had a magpie baby in our garden. I actually called the animal ambulance and they kindly put me at ease.

1:37 am

Seagulls are apparently a protected species but they are a real pain inland

1:37 am

lol me neither. It means they can walk the moment they get out of their eggs, and they don't stay in the nest until they can fly. At some point they leave the nest and the parents will feed them on the ground until they can fly.

1:38 am

It's walking round pooing on our solar panels so I hope it learns to fly soon

1:38 am

I think nidi = nest and fugous = fleeing.

1:38 am

You are too clever lol

1:38 am

ugh, not a pleasant place for you to have it. It should fly away in a few days. The walking around they do is preparation for the muscles to flying

1:39 am

*giggles* hardly! The dutch words are relatively clear and I have a smattering of latin, so that helps a lot.

1:40 am

I didn't do Latin at school

1:40 am

it was priceless here. Our dog Terra was very much interested in the baby magpie. The parents went crazy and divebombed him, but the baby was just as curious. They became friends and later on would sit close together in the garden when the bird came visiting.

1:40 am

How lovely

1:41 am

yeah it was cute.

1:42 am

anyway, if all goes well, the baby gull should fly away within a few days.

1:43 am

Good just hope the parent go with it.

1:44 am

yeah and not come back next year.

1:45 am

Exactly. We may have to put some netting round the chimney to stop them. The really are a nuisance

1:46 am

we have pigeons that keep nesting in our tree and we really really dislike pigeons. We remove the nest every time they make it, but they are very persistent.

1:47 am

thinking about it, we don't have any pigeons. Must be the gulls keeping them away

1:47 am

that is at least one sunny side :)

1:47 am

and we used to have magpies in one tree and crows in the other, they have gone too

1:48 am

seagulls are real predators, I believe

1:48 am

well they are so big and their beaks are lethal

1:49 am

let's hope the baby is a jonathan livingston seagull and not a plain one ;)

1:50 am

lol

1:52 am

and this is all going on in my ga 6/27

1:52 am

never a dull moment

1:55 am

Have you got any photos sorted from Rose's visit yet

1:56 am

she hasn't sent any yet :( I suspect they haven't had access to the internet for a while, because she hasn't answered my email either and that is not like her at all.

1:56 am

Didn't you take any

1:57 am

She should be able to use the internet at Matty's

1:57 am

no, I am hopeless with photos and I forgot my camera. Only have some on my phone but they are not so great.

1:58 am

Lets hope all hers turn out ok then

1:58 am

they should. Don is a very good photographer.

1:59 am

Wonder how many he has taken, must be in the thousands by now

1:59 am

oh yes, easily, I'd think

2:00 am

and when they post them they will all need captions so we know who, where and when

2:00 am

wow... 144 words found and only now found my first 8. Must be some sort of record, lol.

2:01 am

Must go chores to do. Have a good day. Well done I haven't found an 8 yet. Only got to 113 words

2:02 am

have a lovely day, Maisie. It was nice chatting with you :)

2:02 am

You too bye for now

2:17 am

430?

2:18 am

hiya sandy. No, babble is off again with the count. Afaik, it is half of the babble number. 215 words.

2:19 am

is lickety up?

2:20 am

yes

2:20 am

ok and is that correct? and how did the Rose visit go?

2:21 am

I thought lickety was correct, but someone said they had entered words that Lickety did not have, so I am not sure. Haven't heard from rose in a few days, so I don't know how her visit with matty went.

2:24 am

well, I have all words from Lickety's list - that will have to do for tonight - perhaps the problem will be solved by morning

2:25 am

good job, flosey!

2:25 am

and good morning Sprite, hugs

2:25 am

*hugs flosey again* Good evening. Are you ready for bed now?

2:25 am

thanks and good night to all - will check in again in the morning

2:26 am

sleep well!

2:26 am

yes Sprite - thanks, very tired tonight

2:26 am

I hope you will sleep quickly and soundly then

2:28 am

I have all lickety's words and no extras. So I think lickety is correct. Bye all!

3:07 am

sprite, Lickety List says 430. Is that correct? Thanks

3:14 am

Lickety says 215 Gapeach

3:18 am

Thanks much, lynxxx.

3:57 am

da

4:00 am

What sport do the New York Knicks play?

4:02 am

Basketball

4:07 am

Google search is so handy for questions like that.

4:08 am

Is basketball not correct?

4:09 am

It is correct, Bfdeele :-)

4:11 am

Okay. I wasn't sure. Thanks.

4:16 am

There are a lot of people who think their name is the Nicks, not the Knicks...never having seen the name in print.

4:19 am

Well have found 139 words so far. Time for me to go . Happy babbling everyone!

4:48 am

It is interesting how conditioned we get. You find half the words for a tile, you know that is all, and yet since the tile is not grey, your brain keeps trying to find words from it.

Good morning. Newsflash - Rose and Don are top people

5:03 am

is it really 430 words or 215?

5:12 am

Always bet on Lickety when his total is exactly half of the Babble total

6:00 am

. .. and every tile has an even number of words on it ... ... and I've worked four tiles and gotten half the words on each ... ... I'd bet on 215

6:12 am

good morning -- wow - not sure I can get through this one toay

6:13 am

*today

6:13 am

the last ro 6 plz

6:14 am

pinker

6:14 am

ty!!

6:15 am

ga 6/27 any hints?

6:15 am

... I've only got about half ... but I agree with Jayk ... although my wife likes yellow ones

6:19 am

ga/7 plant a vegetable

6:19 am

tyvm

6:19 am

yw

6:33 am

I'm thinking there must be a lot of strange words in this one

6:34 am

... more likely bet is the word counts are doubled as they were a couple of days ago

6:34 am

430!!!!!!!!! Very Excellent!

6:36 am

it's only 215 really

6:38 am

What?

6:38 am

in that case, I'm over half way

6:38 am

this happened on tuesday, the grid doubled everything. and it happened again today.

6:39 am

Rats!

6:40 am

well you'll be glad once you start being like, 'how can there be this many left?!!

6:46 am

I would have been happy with 430 but 215 is more doeable. I was not happy about seeing 28 y words tho.

6:46 am

good morning all

6:47 am

hi peri

6:52 am

HI FOLKSIES

6:53 am

Hi all

6:53 am

good morning, afternoon, evening

7:04 am

break time

7:10 am

Well, that's 215 words found, so I'm calling it a night. Have a good day / evening or night.

7:43 am

WOW! Nice size for a rainy day.

7:57 am

aah...215. More doable. Stats for the 2nd column E pls

7:57 am

er4/4 love god

7:58 am

ty dose

7:58 am

so...does that mean there are NOT 50 D words?

7:59 am

... between the two d's ... only 38

7:59 am

so just half everything

7:59 am

... if you see a number on the screen ... divide it by two

8:00 am

ty

8:01 am

I hope that Dr. Go can fix this before the flip

8:01 am

... rainy day ... but I still have lots to do ... I think ... must be off to do some of it ... luck to all

8:01 am

he fixed it the other day.

8:03 am

at least Lickety is right.

8:07 am

Hello, back from Annesmasse (between here and Genève) where we had lunch in an Alsatian resto, choucroute, of course

8:07 am

Is the words total correct or is it a trick?

8:07 am

it's only 215 Ruby

8:07 am

Sorry, I hadn't yet read the chog

8:08 am

Mr. Bich lovews choucroute. Me, not so much

what's today'sissue?

8:09 am

Hello TO

hi ruby

8:09 am

The grid got doubled again...word count is 215

8:09 am

I used to mak it here sometimes, but since I only cook for the dogs, it's a thing of the past

8:10 am

If you use Lickety the count is right on there

intersting. if it's doubled, why is my babble total an odd number?

8:10 am

I've never used Licketyt; I was shown how, years ago, but the instructioin didn't "take"

8:11 am

every one else's says 430...does your's say 215?

you must mean expert? i don't use expert. just the list

no it said 157

8:12 am

huh...hadn't heard that number today.

not worth discussing. it is what it is

8:13 am

hello again -- expert says 215, just like the other day when it was half

8:14 am

i don't care will just make as mny words as I can

8:20 am

good morning babblers, has anything been corrected regarding the number of words in this puzzle, since last night?

8:20 am

no

8:28 am

sw 5/20 please?

8:29 am

nm - found the old viking

8:30 am

you mean a grassy space?

8:30 am

8:30 am

oh yes, the root vegetable :)

8:31 am

morning nan, how goes it in the great white north?

8:31 am

8:32 am

8:32 am

it was 35 here last Monday, but only supposed to get to 27 today

8:34 am

8:34 am

8:35 am

8:35 am

8:39 am

it was that way the other day

8:40 am

i guess i missed it.

8:41 am

but the count of word stats adds up to more than 215.

8:41 am

yes, but if you notice...

8:41 am

all the tiles are even numbers

8:41 am

did you get the re 6 phaeton?

8:41 am

and you'll never get beyond half way on any tile

8:41 am

no

8:42 am

re 6 = letter closing ( other than yours truly)

8:42 am

wow.

8:42 am

*re 6-7 that is

8:42 am

ty got the re's. hope you did too.

9:00 am

ty Samantha I just found er 4/4 now I need the o?

I gave you the three I have already

9:02 am

Imagine if the 744 word grid had "doubled". It would say "1488 words total". People would be freaking out.

9:02 am

ty Samantha. I found the other one never mind

9:03 am

I saw the clue earlier for the si 8 but I only got a si 7 from it?

9:04 am

i don't think we have had a grid with more words then 744?

9:05 am

Yes, I said if the 744 had doubled, like this 215 word grid doubled to 430

9:05 am

si4/5 + wa4/9

If I'd seen that I might have left and never come back! *runs screaming*

9:05 am

i was freaked out anyway i was kind of expecting something smaller then yesterday's

9:05 am

lol samantha

9:05 am

it's only 215 today

9:06 am

I see Dr. God hasn't fixed it yet

I have ro8, si8 x2, and ye 8; can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

9:11 am

9:12 am

ty drkcir i found it

Of course! Thanks very much DrKcir

9:12 am

tx drkcir!

9:12 am

even though that word should be hyphenated?

really? does that even happen? (doubling)

Second time this week, Kaplan

9:13 am

yes.. this is the second time lately

9:13 am

is this one a double or not?

9:13 am

i refreshed and still have 430?

9:13 am

yes -- only 215 words

I know that it happens, but I completely don't understand how software just . . . breaks like this. Hardware I get; how does this happen to software?

The other big grid? That's messed up!

9:14 am

it's the Russian hackers! :-)

Not that I try to finish, but it's more interesting to me when the grid is large.

9:15 am

Luckily we have Lickety.

9:15 am

i feel the same way kaplan

Luckily Lickety?

9:15 am

HA Une.. you must be Putin us on

9:15 am

that's worth a groan

9:15 am

omg i just went to lickety to look at how many words are in the grid.now my babble page says 215

9:16 am

hi amel

Yes! It's fixed. Reload everyone!

9:16 am

Crimea river, ru

9:16 am

I'm like Samantha, I almost didn't even start this one when I saw 430 as the total but checked the chog and saw I might have time to work it...

9:17 am

I wrote to Dr G again this a.m.

9:17 am

tx samantha -- yay!

9:17 am

ty ruru

9:18 am

i will be back....poof

9:23 am

Dr. G wrote back that it should be fixed from now on.

9:24 am

ru, does that mean from now on today or from now on for all future grids.

But . . . but . . . What then will we talk about?

9:24 am

he said for all future grids.. we'll see.

9:25 am

thanks for contacting him.

9:25 am

politics!

Uuuuggghhhh

doys

9:25 am

oh, don't even Harry, that would not be a good subject

I mean normally I'm up for a good policy argument, but politics these days, maaan

9:26 am

kaplan is grasping at straws

9:26 am

hello friends.

9:26 am

trif :)

It's beyond politics

9:26 am

86 to go and nbt, but still no 8s!

9:26 am

Oh so *that's* why you're going Greek? It's easier? *blinks innocently*

9:36 am

9:56 am

thnx samantha

*laff* I generally only ask for or give that for eights and above

And glad to help!

9:57 am

it is appreciated

9:57 am

My guess on why the doubling is happening is that there is something messed up in the code that drives these grids.

9:59 am

Just like there is something messed up in the code that causes long urls posted to have "\n" in them and then they blow the chat width

Yes. But apparently Dr. God has fixed it forever and ever now, ramen.

9:59 am

re 7/48, pls

10:00 am

To make larger side-to-side, again

10:00 am

Nothing is fixed as far as I know. We are still getting double grids and long urls still include \n and blow the chat width. No clue about your chinese noodles.

10:01 am

Dr. God said today that he'd fixed it

10:01 am

And I'm a pastafarian. May you be touched by His Noodly Goodness. ;)

10:06 am

penne for your thoughts samanta?

10:07 am

Puns are old fashioned. So pasta it.

10:07 am

it is fixed on my computer. refresh.

To clarify, I did not mean that "this grid" is not fixed. I meant that the "double word" problem is not fixed. Otherwise it would not have happened again.

10:35 am

is this a double word day?

10:35 am

He fixed it today, he said, post-today's problem. Apparently it won't happen again.

2:16 pm

The man who says that one clove of garlic is never enough can subsist on a five minute nap? : D

2:17 pm

Yeah. A five minute nap is what you might get between torture sessions.

2:18 pm

With all those kids he has, I would need more rest than that. Harry is amazing.

2:18 pm

How many kids does he have?

2:22 pm

38 left. Gonna pack it in for the day.

Ok. 20 left. Now I'm leaving. *POOF*

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ F.I.R.E.W.O.R.K.S ஜ۩۞۩ஜ

4:15 pm

I think the Wi 7/48 word is a stupid word.

4:15 pm

Happy babbling everyone!

4:32 pm

hi all.

4:45 pm

i would love a clue for the stupid wi 7 please

4:58 pm

wi5.20 make it a noun

This is the ultimate grid for Rose. The fourth row is made for you, Rose :)

5:01 pm

omb you guys! i got the job i really really wanted!

5:01 pm

hooray hurshy!!!!! *relurk*

Congratulation Hursh

5:05 pm

mkg: I just found the one you asked for -- build on the wi 5 to make the opposite of narrower.... add a common comparative ending meaning "more so" or "a person who does this"

5:05 pm

Molly: note that my five minute nap from earlier became a half-hour, and I wa a bit late for pickup :)

5:07 pm

Finally past 100 and NBT. back later to finish *poof*

5:27 pm

Good for you Harry. That probably re-charged your Awesome Dad batteries.

5:28 pm

And oh good, Hursh's balloon is re-inflated.

5:41 pm

yes, re-inflated

5:41 pm

:)

5:41 pm

if only i were not such a sensitive plant

5:41 pm

i wouldn't be so uppy and downy

5:49 pm

back for whatever I can get off my last 19

5:49 pm

Well, the up parts balance out the down parts. I'm glad you got good news today.

5:50 pm

my wife is very sensitive, and it can be challenging at times, but I wouldn't trade it for the alternative...the highs are much higher because of it

5:55 pm

i would trade it. mine highs aren't always higher.

5:59 pm

not quite the same scale, but I would trade my hair...I'm having a bad hair life

5:59 pm

lol, what's wrong with your hair?

6:00 pm

I think it's mostly a perception problem (mine that is), but it always looks messy or not what I want it to look like

6:00 pm

does it look like the bird, lol?

6:00 pm

lol

6:00 pm

sometimes, for sure :)

6:01 pm

or maybe something a bird might nest in

6:01 pm

i see you are in colorado - my sister lives there

6:01 pm

Oh yeah? Where abouts?

6:01 pm

(mool has a mullet)

6:01 pm

in the fort collins vicinity

6:02 pm

ah, about 45 minutes north of me

6:02 pm

I'm in Boulder county

6:02 pm

if you know any eligible men in their thirties who love pets, esp dogs...

6:02 pm

it's a pretty easy place to live, tons of sunshine

6:03 pm

Colorado is pretty much dog central

6:03 pm

yeah

6:03 pm

every man and their dog has a dog ;)

6:04 pm

but are they eligible? lol

6:04 pm

I don't know, I can't speak dog ;)

6:05 pm

har har har

6:05 pm

arf arf arf :)

6:05 pm

life's been too ruff for you mool?

6:05 pm

ruru with the howler

6:06 pm

you're in trouble, mool....ru will dog you with his puns for a while now...

6:06 pm

without paws no doubt

6:07 pm

no doubt...

6:07 pm

no muzzling him now

6:07 pm

we should have mool on a short leash

6:07 pm

ruru unleashed

6:07 pm

just waiting to see who'll be the weiner

6:08 pm

and whether we'll all get hounded

6:08 pm

none of this is really whelping the joke along

6:08 pm

no need to bitch about it

6:09 pm

wow.. we've littered the chat with dog puns

6:10 pm

Maybe things are tailing off now though, perhaps I could do with a few pointers, or maybe I could retrieve some from the internet

6:10 pm

ru, why don't you shepherd us through a few more

6:11 pm

gawdy should be a word, because I need to find 16 more

6:11 pm

I kind of picture mool on the huskie side

6:11 pm

I'm certainly no malamute

6:13 pm

although I may be prone to stray from puntastic dogma

6:13 pm

you might be full of shih Tzu though

6:13 pm

no need to mention poo-dle

6:14 pm

or may have to put you out to rott weiler we continue the puns

6:14 pm

do you have to pinscher yourself to believe this is true?

6:15 pm

think you're just full of bull dawg

6:16 pm

no.. just trying to be corgi-able

6:16 pm

we may be getting into more terrierble puns at this point

6:17 pm

at least when we're done, we can all say chow

6:17 pm

exactly we could be pugnaciously scolded

6:18 pm

if we should dane to allow it that is

6:18 pm

so howl have you been mool?

6:18 pm

hopefully we're considered saints and not bernard any bridges

6:18 pm
