*shining up the tiara for mael*
hello all
Good morning, lindy.
how's it going?
Life is good. Hope all is well with you.
a mini tiara for "aloy"? hi all
excellent here, thanks!
Certainly! Hello, aloy.
I am sometimes amazed at the words I know.
I am sometimes amazed at the words I get by typo
well, first pass done and I haven't found an 8.. maybe another coffa cuppee and some b'fast will help. brb
Qu8.....french dumpling
Clue blurt?
Hey, Aloy
Howdy, Bea :-)
Good morning, Une.
can't believe I got that one. thanks!
You were about 1 minute short on that clue for me.
I see we are flirting with blurting today
Hee hee
I don't know, People Magazine, I can think of sexier men alive than Paul Rudd. Lame.
Time to start the taxi. Almost half way.
Idris Elba and Hugh Jackman were my faves!!
Idris Elba has got it all over Paul Rudd
googled it.. ty Une!
wait, they picked paul rudd this year?
LOL. I love Paul Rudd but there are sexier men for sure.
Good morning, all. LOL Paul Rudd. If you're into that everyman dad bod type.
People really fumbles some years. Like John Legend? (2019) I like his music, but he isn't even close to the sexiest man alive.
some people find a guy who can sing like that sexy
but but but they were gonna pick chris evans this year? right? because chris evans is... decidedly sexier than paul rudd? taking nothing away from paul rudd, understand
And Judi, I love "everyman dad bod type"
I recently rewatched Clueless. remember that time Paul Rudd was a college student who falls in love with his high schooler step sister?
I mean, I wish every dad had paul rudd's bod, but ya know
Chris Evans is cute, but he always looks a little chubby to me. I know he's buff, but he just has that look.
I love Clueless but you had to be there, it is a 90s explosion
chubby? my friend, we have different definitions of chubby
I love it too
Clueless = cult classic (chick flick).
Chris Evans does nothing for me.
chris evans also not really my thang, but I don't think chubby either
Chris Evans is in fact who I have a standing hall pass from my husband for. lol.
<<< Still thinks Harrison Ford is hot.
but it might be a masshole thing
as Capt. American or himself, mael?
I'll take either as long as he has a beard
OOPS. Got my Chrises mixed up. I was thinking of Chris Pratt. I take it all back.
THERE YA GO JUDI
we just watched the first Indiana Jones the other night, judi.
Chris Pratt is at the bottom of the Official Chris Scale
Chris Pratt was chubby once upon a time but then got all buff.
Agrees that Chris Evans is WAY hotter than Paul Rudd.
oh, I see an old sportscaster
I don't know if you've seen Defending Jacob, the miniseries. It is a) very good, b) is very easy on the eyes, and c) has scenes filmed in our town's grocery store
never heard of it
well, I have to get ready for pickleball. TTFN
have fun, hokie.. I'm a pickleballer too!
a who in the what where?
'morning, all (kudos to paul rudd - who could have dressed up as antman, but instead, took his daughter (she was 'the wasp') trick or treating and he was dressed up as weird al
I monkeyed the french dumplings but have no idea what they might be
i did, too - looks like gefilte fish dressed up for a party
monkeyed - and then googled
I do like gefilte fish
ohh but I see they are poached, that's a little weird
me, too - a little beet horseradish on the side :)
time to poof: Happy Babbling to all!
hi/bye, aloy
me
hello all...
hi, pen
hi welki...
have there been any MLF sightings?....haven't seen her in a while...
i haven't seen her either - i hope she's okay
me, too...
wasn't there a rap artist named Flava Flave?
hi harry - i think you're right
hi welki!
no idea...
i think i heard him on howard stern a million years ago
yes! he cofounded Public Enemy
sounds right welki.
I had a job delivering fish in the mid 80s. The truck had an AM radio, and I'd listen to the stern show on WNBC 660 the whole time. Back then he used to play music (if you can call 80s music "music")
during the imus wars
yes. later he picked fights with opie and anthony
but he sure loved "eee vincent"
people can say what they will about him, but the guy's got longevity
the king of all media
90 to go! bbl
#name that nasally sports caster of the 70s H Holy Cow!
cosell
name that weirdo tv host that had a terrible work environment
ellen...

a few players have recently disappeared. Haz, MLF, Moolingwa, french toast,
true...
i think mool decided he was spending too much time here...
why? he always finished in just a few minutes! ::)
lol...
gotta go....bbl to finish....bye all....
bye!
classtime. later
In answer to Harry...DAY me say DAY me say DAY me say DAYO
I am not doing well on today's grid. Ah well. That's your public service announcement for this Wednesday :)
it's a cranky grid for sure
Reading back in chat, do we need to start putting pictures on Babble milk cartons? : D
maybe..
Hello all. I'll aim for 1/2 today.
wtg sophie.. low expectations :D
Garth Brooks...I do grids with low expectations, I work too hard don't get no vacations...
Yep. Because I have so much other stuff to do today that does NOT frustrate me! :)
well off to work.. good luck everyone. it's a tough grid.. with a few weirdo words
remember that weird al song: yoda, yoyoyoyoyoda
no Harry
hi all
help with bottom O please
which bottom O
bottom O fourth column
pejorative
four letter
the song was a takeoff on Lola by the kinks
ty Harry and I think it was in a recent grid too
I think you are right
70 to go. this is tough.
I give up. bye for now!
good morning :)
guess I arrived just as everyone was leaving
hi Nan
hi sophie
al
thinking yall IS a word
only in certain states :)
I think it is Yáll.
all yall
plural possessive is all ya'lls
I grew up saying you guys. Tried it when I started teaching in the south.Ok. All you guys line up. Only the boys lined up. I've learned a lot!
Haha!
In NYC it was youse
I read a book once and in it there was a letter that started "Dear All Y'All"
hahaha
I say y'all and you guys for collective groups of males and females
I say all of you :D
I got half. I'm happy.
I thought you Brits said "you lot" : D
Ha!
me too!
first pa 5/14 please?
That would be the politicians who would use that term.
A bit like row row your boat, Nan.
tried everything similar to an oar that I could think of
What you do with it.
oh - it took this time - ty
*!*~*!* a lot of words I've never seen before kept the monkeys busy. losing interest in this game because of it.
hagd everyone :)
You too, Nan!
Politicians, hmm. I saw it on a show where a Brit director said "you lot go downstage right and you lot go downstage left"
I've seen it in Harry Potter movies too, zooz isn't fooling us.
Oh OF COURSE that pa word has nothing to do with boats or rowing. And OF COURSE it is a Scot word. That means lumpfish or lump sucker. How gross.
I'm no longer surprised when I check a def. and it says "chiefly Scot"
in fact, I am now surprised if it doesn't say that
The Enable Word Nerds = Angus, Alistair and Dougal
Two US cities in the grid today. Too bad they dobn't count.
Dalles? 😜
ha, that's a real word
and I was just making a bad spelling joke
Selma and Tampa
oh, I did see selma earlier
I guess you didn't make the connection when I mentioned US cites
or cities
nope
You were perhaps thinking of Hyuck
couldn't remember what I'd seen earlier that might've been a city
oh, I see a famous b&w photographer
ansel adams
✅✅✅
Hurshy wins three check marks
roughly equivalent to three dings
that's right
phantom: anodyne
nope
Nope?
hey, didn't need anything new on my 15 year old xterra..... the new battery wasn't hooked in properly.....no charge
awesome
I was noping hurshy's phantom. because it's not a word I'm seeing. because I don't know it.
Um, the whole idea of a phantom is that it is an "almost" word in the grid. First column A down and then up left, almost.
yes but she's just saying it can't even be a phantom for her, because she didn't know such a word existed
she is subtly suggesting that i am a nerd
stats for bottom row O pls
left has 2 od4, right has 1 of4
4,9
needed the right and i think it was just in grid yesterday - duh
well i didn't know you could spell the alpine singing another way... how funny
today hard this grid is
are you saying it that way because Yoda is in the grid?
yup
anyone know what the other 8 is besides the al8 ?
and also because I can't find anything
The other 8 is QU.
oho, interesting!
had to morewords it
but thanks :)
It's a food; I recognized it because I happen to see a recipe for it recently, but it's a pretty obscure dish.
funny that the 8s are both french
I don't have the AL8 but thanks for the clue!
it's pretty much as obscure as the qu
i don't even know why it happened to pop into my head
not seeing anything
it's a kind of lace, named for the place it is originally from
the singular is 7, then plural for 8
just looked it up...I wouldn't have found that in a zillion years
yeah, like i said, i have no idea why it occurred to me. i mean i know i've just read it somewhere but the fact that my brain dug it out is crazy
I have had the same feeling today, hurshy.
I'm still puzzling over the al8
Found it! Thanks!
hi all. the qu8 is a food? not seeing it
It's a French dumpling.
ok
and it ends with the french word for "she"
not really a dumpling. It's chopped meat or fish covered with bread crumbs. I saw a recipe recently
got it ty both and my scrabble dictionary
I'm off to fix the fam some food.
scrabble dictionary calls it a type of dumpling
Leaving 72 in Judi's bucket. Been a busy day at the hive...
I've seen it described as a dumpling too but in my culinary opinion it is not.
need another clue for the al 7 please
ends in opposite of pro
This grid is too hard for me; I'm going to list
TY joy got it
Holy Hallelujah how did I miss those AM words?
hello....
hi penquis
I've been working and babbling both all day, neither very well. How are you doing?
hi...doing ok here....

just found out that another French city is acceptable here....
I can't find the CO7
irish girl?
girls name
ty!
yw...
just found a new word...pa 7/36....just guessed and it turned out to be a word...
I'll take a clue on that one please, pen
start with the inside part of your hand...
add a common ending...
got it, thanks
yw...
73, stick a fork in me......I'm done
i listed... ;o)
is the NO6,7 a combo? Are they regular words?
don't have them yet....will look....
found it....includes the high point letter....the seven is a pl....
not regular words...
execution by drowning...
helps if you know French...
i think you saying the high point letter might mislead people into thinking it has the Q
it does not
ha! I tried noquee, noquea several times because that's the only way it can have a plural.
sorry, you are right...
shouldn't clue when i am tired...
next highest is F or V and it can't be either of those
phew done. I listed my last sixty something.
did you sleep any better last night, pen?
77 left here. just half-assing it.
i did....dk why i am tired tonight....delayed effect, i guess...
yep, it'll catch up to you
there's some virus going around here. well some OTHER virus.
I've been so out of it the last few days.
my youngest kid was sick last week at college and covid, strep, RSV, and flu were all negative.
bummer, harry....i get my vaccine booster tomorrow....that will probably wipe me out, too....
yes - my oldest at school has been sick as well
I felt really bad overnight after mine, pen, but I forgot to over hydrate beforehand
I got my booster a few weeks ago - was OK for me.
my wife got hers and her flu shot at once - she was wiped out.
last time, i was just tired the next day....
so what is the NO6 points?
27
and pl for the 7.
It is ridiculous that someone can't get sick without being tested for four or five things they don't have.
6/27
it might be a summer drink
*Listens to the insurance companies racking up their cash
lol, he also did it wrong - went to one of the testing sites on campus for the people that have to do surveillance testing when he was supposed to make an appt at health services, so he ended up doing that after. and then he told me what all they tested for. I was surprised.
execution by drowning....doesn't that sound awful?
thanks, harry. that did it.
good night all! and stay healthy :)
goodnight, harry...
I';n sure it is not just your son that is happening to Carla
We have become a health paranoid society
is the qu 8 a compound word?....recognizable?
well they have to test for covid since he's in a dorm, and I'm glad they tested for strep. flu and RSV not a whole lot they would do.
not a compound, not really recognizable unless you really know your french cooking.
well now I know what my missing Q should be
clue for SO6,21?
there's a few clues in the chat for the QU8
i am looking for the so 6 right now....
so 6....serious...
it's a little twisty...
ty pen
you don't think of words that end in those letters
funny, I was about to say I was looking to end with that all day
true
FW, finally
nice
congrats, joy!
81 left forme....
71 here. not sure how there are still 10 T's to find.
