About time (for Trump, anyway).

12:07 am

Personally, I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

12:08 am

Maybe not, but if anyone has brought it on himself, it's Trump. Melania is probably wishing she could have stayed in New York.

12:09 am

Oh here we go....

12:10 am

sorry i think i have opened a can of worms. we all wouldn't wish even our worst enemy to go through this.

12:10 am

It's apparently not completely clear, but if both Trump and Pence were to get very sick at the same time, Pelosi might be in charge.

amazing

8:24 am

I did a 3 day hike there once.

8:24 am

Some people finish it in 6-7 days but we are enjoying a slow pace.

8:25 am

we ran out of water on Mt Marcy, but my friend had a purifier and there was a puddle there, which was nice :)

8:26 am

We have water filters. Mt Marcy is a tough hike--it took us 14 hrs up and down, with a few breaks.

8:27 am

we left our stuff at the lean-to and just carried our daypacks up. I I recall - this was 25 years ago (!!!)

8:27 am

You were lucky.

8:30 am

gotta go to class! hagd all

8:30 am

Bye, Harry.

9:06 am

<-----Had to look up igu

I thought he misspelled ugh. are you saying it's a new to me acronym? I got you?

9:20 am

Ha! I give up. One you don't know. Wow.

*the more you know

I made an obscure prince lyric post last night hoping someone, just someone would get it

9:27 am

Well, maybe if you had said "sing it while we watch them fall"

9:28 am

7 wasn't exactly on Prince's hit parade

9:32 am

hi all. clue for y word?

9:32 am

also need i word please.

that's why I said obscure ;) it is one of my favorite prince songs though, and thank you for getting it. unless you had to look it up.

9:35 am

Prince was a genius. I miss him.

yep. just found a YouTuber who is about to tell me what the song means if you'd like a link. he just said it was the best hit from that album and most prince fans he talks to say it's one of their favorites.

9:39 am

my dreams have come true. Trump caught Covid.

that's a trash thing to wish on anyone, whether you like them or not.

9:40 am

Yes ruru! May this be the final nail in his coffin.

9:41 am

this may save thousands of americans specificity that blinidly follow him and don't wear masks and ignore the warnings

9:42 am

if he has no symptoms or mild ones, the followers will say aha, so he was right: this is no big deal.......not good.

9:42 am

they might finally understand how real this pandemic is and stop believing him

9:43 am

i could go a few weeks without seeing him speak after the debates believe me

9:44 am

No matter how much I don't like him, I can't be happy he and his wife have COVID

I only come here to play the game. but when the first comment in chat that I see is gleeful about someone getting ill... I think that's disgusting.

9:45 am

sorry. I think about all the people that have died on his watch and it's karmic

People died under Obama and the flu. more people, even. And I would never wish the flu on Obama.

9:47 am

and I'm not really gleeful.

9:47 am

no more people didn't die under the flu. that's just not true

but karma is real... let it sort it out. and you're not immune to karma, either.

going back to the game. Have the day you deserve :)

9:48 am

thanks for sharing

in other news, I just watched the music video for Prince's 7. had never seen it before. that's some wack stuff.

10:24 am

11:25 am

11:25 am

weird to have a gerund with no root

11:26 am

i thought the same thing

11:26 am

it probably is not a gerund but sounds like one

11:26 am

probably

11:27 am

looks like it is a corruption of an 8 with an R stuck in the middle

11:27 am

I got no root!

11:27 am

that just leaves me with an A6

Could someone clue el7, please?

11:27 am

"Someone who is the same age as oneself"

11:28 am

causing to be happy - for the el

11:28 am

el7: the parents promised the girl a pony ride for her birthday, thus el7 her

11:28 am

a6 sounds like a drug

11:29 am

11:30 am

I also sang another song, Molly, that no one is likely to notice

11:54 am

Wow, you are into some obscure music

11:55 am

well, just obscure here on the 2nd one, it was quite a big hit recently

11:56 am

Alice Merton?

11:57 am

12:11 pm

No surprise: fugly is not in Enable. Good morning :D

12:13 pm

12:17 pm

12:22 pm

ori, that is the portmanteau I was referring to earlier!

12:23 pm

Today's Babble drinking game is to take a shot every time Carla says portmanteau.

12:23 pm

moo, I actually finished this one at the flip with only seeing 3 or 4 stats.

12:23 pm

it's a good word

12:25 pm

also, just want to note I almost said "already" and my autocorrect tried to change it to arredi. WTH

12:26 pm

just waiting for the washer to finish so I can put the towels in the dryer and then walk. so you all will have to do without pop culture clues and music lyrics and portmanteaus (drink) for a while.

12:28 pm

open the door get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur

12:28 pm

*Gasp* OH NO! What will we do without CARLA in the chat??

12:34 pm

Well, we won't be drinking :D

12:34 pm

one more for the road - portmanteau

12:35 pm

I'm going to be drunk before noon

1:07 pm

9 left

your buzz gone, ori? liger and tigon are acceptable portmanteaus we have here often.

2:31 pm

a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’).

2:32 pm

That is what portmanteau means. Drink up and check your examples.

liger = lion/tiger, tigon = tiger/lion

2:45 pm

Generally, they result in words commonly known. I guess here, they can result in the weird words that no one knows.

2:48 pm

Arrogance. No mask. Covid positive. Pride cometh before a fall

2:56 pm

portmanteau is a really neat word

2:57 pm

help with al6 please

2:57 pm

Oh great, here we go again.

2:58 pm

haha

2:58 pm

Not you Peri, al6 is Buzz, the astronaut.

2:58 pm

3:19 pm

Try a gerund.

3:25 pm

A game. Make up your own portmanteau. Gerund. Gerald, the fat guy, is rotund. He is gerund. : D

4:18 pm

Not many players on at this time...

4:36 pm

FW! Carla will be glad to know my last word was an A...ARGG!

4:37 pm

This grid took me a total of 18 minutes. I record for me...

4:37 pm

See you all next time.

ha! and well done. I think it took me 38 minutes which is a record me too.

5:49 pm

Was reading back through the chat ... In Wikipedia, tigon and liger are listed as legit portmanteaus. Take a swig!

6:11 pm
