helen - you've totally cracked me up - it's kind of like live blogging the game

Do you have the express written consent of the NFL? :)

ha! well, she's not exactly recording it. . . well, kinda. . .

lol - yeah, wait a sec, now where did i put that consent form, hmmmmm

tx twin :) we aim to please :)

meanwhile - i've been trying to work this puzzle for over an hour & a half

I think you're a little distracted

whew - done !

game recap to be continued on babble now - bye all - have a great day :)

bye helen

haha, my home team is getting their ass kicked, huh?

rediculously easy puzzle

it was a reasonable challenge without marking greens or reds, i thought

i wonder how long it's going to take for "rediculous" to show up in dictionaries. everyone seems to spell it that way anymore

along with "teh"

you mean no one spells it correctly anymore/everyone seems to spell it that way now... :)
-the grammar nazi

I thought I'd finished this one, ah well, back to the start

*you* think they're spelling it wrong, and *i* think they're spelling it wrong

but as soon as there are more of them then there are of us, then we're wrong :)

man, conversations around here are short-lived

too bad i don't have enough self-control to play babble reasonably

done and done. I'd agree with you skizzybiz/kebek, but alas, I'm dislexic, so i can't spell most words that have more than five letters, and even some that have less :(

i figure it's not a big deal, so i'm trying to renounce my grammar nazi ways

sorry, i ran out of puzzles to play, so i went away. i guess the adaptiveness of our language is one of the great things about it. though in some ways i still side with the prescriptivists. it's hard to let go of what you think is right just because everybody else has started doing it another way.

are you from columbus or sf?

heh, SF. columbus is a bicycle frame tube manufacturer

ah, gotcha. i used to live there (sf).

what made you move to la?

i lived in an apartment with no heat, so after a year of being cold, my roommate and i decided to go somewhere warmer. :) i may be coming back to the bay area for more school next fall though.

yeah, i get a little tired of it being chilly every day when i come home, but it's not *so* bad. not like east coast winters, where you have $300 gas bills and you're still freezing your ass off

yeah, it's not so bad. i kind of like the real east coast winters though, since you at least get snow when it's cold. and then there are real seasons. i miss the seasons.

i miss them too, but i know that if i went back, i would only miss them until the first time i had to ride my bike through sleet

yeah, biking in sleet is no good. biking in rain isn't even that fun.

nope. unexpectedly, biking in the snow *is* fun

as long as you're completely covered, anyway

haha, yeah. i don't think i've ever tried that, but i can imagine it would be pretty cool. not much chance to try it around here though.

yeah, biking through sandy beaches just isn't the same

at least sandy beaches are pretty

hello everybody

good night

Difficulty score 19. Must do some analysis beyond cross hatching and missing digit scans.

Nilole, 8 is not the lowest score I have ever gotten, but is the lowest for the puzzles I have evaluated on this web site.

go!
