sorry og7
ty jess, what kind of crazy word is that?
monkeys worked feverishly on that one
a
name that poet in the grid

Later, someone will probably do a "name two poets in the grid" : D
Name that near sighted cartoon character.
Mr. Magoo
Ding ding!
The funniest version of The Christmas Carol ever!
Hope you are well, monkey.
I'm fine & healthy, and my workplace is still Covid-free. However, 2 other facilities owned by my employer have outbreaks. It's nerve wracking.
I'm sure. Health care workers are heroes.
Are you doing well in NC, bzz???
Yes, we are good. Staying home most of the time.
That is good to hear :)
I'm searching for the bottom row i word, do you have?
Although, a close neighbor has bern in the hospital for almost six weeks with covid.
Never mind! I pulled a peri and found it.
im5.16
Oh no! I'm so sorry about your neighbor.
Yes, it is sad. A lot of people depend on her.
Is she elderly?
Mid-60's
Yikes
I hope she pulls through!
She is fighting.
If you don't mind telling me her first name? I will add her to some prayer lists.
It's Brenda. Thank you.
Yes of course *hug*
Sorry to hear about your neighbor Bea. She will be in my good thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, Molly.
Anything eciting going on with you this weekend?
i was just reading a little bit of the chat i agree with french they should accept asiago
Asiago is a proper noun.
Nothing exciting Bea. Just the usual weekend chores.
Like Edam and Meunster
oh well:0
this grid is not doing it for me.
me either harry
It was said earlier that the og 5 and 7 were weird words. Finally, two that I am familiar. It is actually a cool, ancient Celtic alphabet.
*familiar with
It took me a bit to get into this one. But I thought it was just me.
ty molly
no not just you apparently bzz/l)

there is only one ca6
morning folks
found a lot of weird Ss
still one more to find tho
and i see that enable doesn't consider "pooing" a word
wooping not in either.
*laughing at Hurshy's comment"
well i think whooping would have an h
Yep
maybe poohing needs a h too
could be with or without an h
if it's Winnie the Poohing, yes, but not if you're just going poo
any cluesw for the 8 please? and stat too please.
but pooh is accepted, what does that mean, non Winnie related
an expression of disdain
as in pooh-pooh that idea
oh pooh
Are you still out west, hurshy?
no, i got out of dodge last summer
Back in New England?
yep
i've now seen at least one life-long californian asking seriously about where would be good to move, too, though.
I was worried about whether you were near the fires.
and i saw a satellite pic taken from almost 1 million miles away from earth where you can see the smoke from the fires
My nephew and family live northwest of LA and I hope they are thinking of leaving the west.
It's so sad.
any clues for the 8 out there? dont have stat either. ty
where i lived in san jose, if i were in danger from the fires, there would be MILLIONS in danger, as it was very densely populated and not out in the foothills
sorry mkg, i haven't found any long ones yet
Long ones are combo words
Hi Kaplan, I haven't seen you in a while. Doing well?
ty kaplan. do you have stats for them? ty

good clue
wow. dont recall what he wanted to say except spray here or there. hmmmm
im5 Dei
oooh i got it!!!!!!!! i remembered.
ty. got it.
how about the i word? ty.
see below :D
what is dei?????
latin for God
it's a latin phrase
the im5 Dei is the ... picture of God
ty. not sure i know it. will try monkeys
except you don't usually say picture you say an english word which is too close to the latin word to actually say it in chat :D
is it a 5 word? or 5 plus something?
it is a 5 letter word.
ty
got it. ty
i tried with ending of A and so that is why didnt gt it. ty
just need the 8 now.
found it. whew.
phantom: mango
and manga, which is probably not accepted
and manic/maniac
now you're really pushing the boundaries hokie lol
what's the 2nd j that isn't ja4/9?
also good morning!
rhymes with the farmer had a dog and B**** was his name-o
rhymes with gambling game in nursing home
and it's about appealing to militaristic nationalism
oddly, I found that one first and took a while to find the other one
i found it first too but didn't take long to find ja
I guess it's not odd when I think about how long it takes me to find backwards words. or backwords, if you will
it's the upper O that's really giving me grief. have 2/5. i think "owlian" would be a good adjective for things that are like owls...
I have 2/5 as well
1/5
and few As
it's too phantomy with option and opting
All I have is op5
yeah 6/15 and 3/9 on 2 A's
there is a preposition to get, scrabbler
oh i'm pretty good on A
ty for the op :)
TY. Duh, I have in4.
alright, i monkeyed an og4
well, I've been trying that but haven't gotten the right combo yet I guess
ty hursh. got it
got it. or one
no mahi in enable
guess you can't eat just one
have you finished the L, hurshy?
yes
47 to go. bbl!
I have one L
bye, HH
nm
you mean one L to find, or you only have one?
just 1 L, 42 total now. it was crazy spanish female
to7 is like ha7
I actually haven't found any 7's
oh you missed it earlier when i said about ha7 then
he has a noose
gracias, got both now
oHO i finally got the 8 too
tried to make that an oi6. not sure why that isn't a word
it ends that same way, but it's like, the person you put in charge of a particular task or project
the L isn't next to the M, hokie
LOL, I see
but if you use a diff letter instead of the M
yes, I got that from your clue earlier and then tried to make this version
o i see
I need a break.
bye scrabbler
me and hokie talking can have that effect on people
we probably have run off a chatter or two
i have 2 co4, anyone got either of the other C words?
well, I have seen what the other 2 7's are, now I just need to find them.
oh wait i just remembered i saw a clue about ca6 when i first got here
oh what are they hokie?
yeah, I think I saw one for ca6 and I didn't get it
they are sa7 and og7, which is apparently ridiculous
well ca6 sounds like the islands that rich people use as tax havens
camans
nope
but just one of them
I knew what it was as soon as I typed that, it's like an alligator or crocodile
croc per the def
it reminds me of a sci fi author named Neil
or more fantasy i guess
haven't actually read any of his work
american gods
?
yes
I think I have had that on audible for a while and mr. homie listened to it and said either I wouldn't like it or I shouldn't listen to it with kids in the car. can't rem. which.
I've been here on and off. Theres a ha7/44 The 8 The 8 is po/50.
have just found a few more A's and they're all weird. still need 6 + 1 + 5
kap, i found to7 which is a lot like ha7
and hokie said the other two are sa7 and og7 but we don't have those
aHA
perhaps you could call Tolkein a sa7
same ending as the others
I've been trying sa everything with that ending
that's a ridiculous word
and then billy joel is a phant one :)
don't even know where to start on the og7
well i've monkeyed a lot but no success yet
also not finding that oc6
well i didn't know about that one
aha
that's not really so hard
okay, get busy then ;)
or nm
you can get it hokie
ok, will keep looking
it is a latin plural... ... ..
ah
thx
Like the mormon taber tentacle?
name that proper noun! funny near-blind cartoon man
magoo
ding ding ding!!!
ru, is og7 a real word?
i don't see how an og7 CAN be a normal word
agreed, I wanted to see ru's take
i don't think i know ANY normal og words other than ogre
ogle
ah yeah forgot about that one
Ogrette
ok so TWO roots and then things you can build off them
it's ogress, you silly man
of or relating to the ogham5 writing system, or made up of og6.Real word.
we've had ogrish before too, which my spellcheck just tried to change to ogreish, which is a 7
uh, thanks pastor
i think you may have given away more than you meant to there lol
thank google
I was wondering if that was a trick and I shouldn't use those 5 letters
it wasn't a trick, it was a treat
lol
may be a real word, but not a regular one.
Oops, thought I changed it to og5, sorry!
okay, only 6's and below left
still have 10 4's to work on
EVERYTHING that works is a "real word" in some sense, obviously. but that isn't one that most people would have heard of, which is what the parlance of "real word" means in the context of the babble chog
just noticed I don't have any n's
but that's why i never ask if something is a real word, i ask if it is NORMAL
thx for explaining that, hurshy. when I say "real word" I mean one that anyone has heard of in regular convo
i think "regular" and "normal" are more apt terms, but i also know what people mean when they use "real" :D
"everyday" would be another possible choice
good idea
"ordinary"
it's like you're a thesaurus or something :P
lol
i am a hurshysaurus
found an N finally!
for want of a na4...
greek temple
na6/18
scottish no4 (means "nothing")
i don't have the other one
I found n4 that is scottish cattle or ox
oh, I have the bottom n's
oh, that's the one i have. but i'm sure i read things in scottish dialect where they were using it to mean "nothing"! maybe i am delusional, idk
unless it's like... some other dialect... like from Kent or whatever random region of England
ok yes it says "northern english"
whew, i'm not completely losing it
I mean, I could see the scots saying that for naught
exactly
I keep trying notl like rotl
I have wo4, do you have the other?
no
nm
wo6
tx
and after i complained about the p, too
siily me
now just need 4 p's and 1 T to finish those columns :D
asiago must be proper... ? or just one of the many food words that don't count for no reason
not sure
probably the latter
the Ps were not bad, i didn't really have much trouble there
i only need one more C for that column
now just need 2 P
did you get the one that rhymes with the j
you probably need c5, looks like a pl
thanks! got it!
yes
and you have both halves of the table tennis
any pt?
po6
everything else is either normal or short
no, no pt
the pi5 and po6 are the 2 I just found, so I guess it's normal or short
yeah the 6 and 8 are the only two longer than 5
alright, moving on to that upper T
also not bad, to5/12 probably the weirdest of them
looks like that's it
ah yes, a babblet
it only seems sort of normal to me because i took greek in college
it's all greek to me (in before ru)
ooh, just found a few more a's
just need 1 M
same
1 G
weirdly i need 10 words and half are 4s. usually don't have that high a proportion of 4s by this point
ok the m was a 4 for me
20 total here, 5 4's
the name of the kid in the phantom tollbooth
i am also missing one G hokie
aha, it was gh4
I have 3 m4 that could be a name
I have a gh4 too :(
well this one was like mi4 and otis
5 ga, 3 gn, 2 go
yeah, I have that :(
oh you have all the mi then, your missing word must be ma
perhaps ma5/16
ok, ga then for me
yeah, do not have ma5/16. looking for both now
oho and i forgot to do ha4/10, got that now
hmm, that's not how I'd spell that
well that must be my missing H
it says it's a different word, if you look it up, not the slimy little sluggy thing
I see.
all the ga's I have are 4's
then you need ga5/18
kthx
always miss that ending
well, I'm finding nothing new so going to the list
i'm down to RANA
3 6s and a 4
I've just skipped 2 a's I can't find
but they are a 4 and 5, so not yours
ok ok i'll list too
oh, I've actually skipped 4 a's but the others are a 5/6 so also not yorus
lol
♪It's The Hokie & Hurshy Show ♫
well i was missing aa4
same
and even when I saw the list I was like, there aren't 2 a's together!
my other a was ar + front of leg bone
I suspected that
I also suspect the n is na6/24, which I can't find
yes, just morewordsed it
i could tell the third letter from the points and position
same
but NTPN - japanese olympic city
i'm not going to say cause it's only one letter off the word! lol
thx, I tried it and one letter off but the wrong letter
one of my missing p's was wine LOL. I usually get that one.
phew, done at last
well done
can't believe my 2 R's were easy r6's
Congratulation hurshy on your fireworks! Hooray for you!
I mean, I guess I can believe it
thanks min :)

ty Minver

sorry carla, ty too

hi Nan!
I was really just wondering if it was a bad clue so I could work on that
hi dolly
has anyone seen ru in the last couple of days? - just wondering if he is still surrounded by fires or if he has been evacuated?
it's been a couple of days nan
the smoke coming up from the south is so thick today it seems like it is sunset at 11:00 am
I've been praying for the wildfires
maybe the naysayers re climate change will sit up and take notice now -- if the world doesn't pull together and do something drastic and soon I fear for what the future will be like.
hopefully someone is working on an economical way to convert all of our gas operated vehicles to electric.
we also need to convert to geothermal energy wherever possible
we need to convince the elon musks of the world to work on green solutions rather than taking thrill seekers into space.
I have a family full of climate deniers (also Trumpers) I really struggle to understand the deep level of ignorance.
me too Mubner
