hi all :)

done...

hi cheb

how are you, smooth_papa?

trying to wake up. ;)

aah, same here :)

and just want to blaze through the day... I've got a 4 day weekend coming up :-D

sweet! I should be so lucky

heh... the last vacation I took was in September, and it looks like I won't be able to take another till the fall, so I decided to use a couple of vacation days, just for a bit of resting time

damn... that's harsh. why the over-working?

oh, I switched positions in my company. a better job, but now I'm working with a couple different departments, so my schedule pretty much revolves around all of them.... getting a week off is like waiting for a solar eclipse. lol

wow - deadly rectangles sure do come up often

deadly rectangles?

haha... "unique rectangles" http://www.scanraid.com/AdvanStrategies.htm#U
R

they talk about recognizing the "Deadly Pattern" which is probably where I got confused. I use that strategy several times a week here

lol... I gotta tell ya... I've been playing sudoku for a few years, and I think I'm halfway decent... but I don't know any real strategies, besides the ones I"ve just come up with over time

lol, same here. This one isn't too hard, no greens needed so far. Hi all.

hi sprite!

someone linked to those a while back... it gave me names for things I had found on my own. I maybe use a third of those I read about - but it's fascinating to see other people's strategies

yeah, I'm looking over them, and some of them seem over my head... thought that just may be since it is just past 7 am here. lol

smooth_papa - notice that that link is the "Advanced" section. You probably already know every single one in the simple section

done - indeed no greens. Have fun :)

well done sprite! have a good day!

and I'm out too... time to get ready for work... later cheb

later :)

Go.

Resorting to greens.

Done. A good one. Several triplets.

go

need to really stop overthinking these easy ones

go

done

Done! Easy! No guesses!

im glad to see im not the only one that totally over thinks the easy ones

go

done

no green

lol, the look on steve's face

Missed it

he's reading something online

he was reading about the quadruple amputation

The libertarian in me is shuddering at the idea of state mandated glaucoma tests.

I'm scared... all my friends are libertarians

the driver in me isn't, though

i think it should be a requirement of getting a driver's license

haha you're surrounded by free-market capitalists!! Mwahahahaha

Help!

ah, jokes about homeless people.

whoa, cell phones ringing all over the place!

heh, the first one was me

second one sounded like andy's ringtone

bad leigh!

watch, mine will be next

so, religions for fools, eh?
fools and liberals.

lol

Did I miss something?

hey..two of my grey boxes aren't showing numbers...

oh no!

that's tragic

i wish the archives showed the difficulty for each puzzle before you click on the date

it would make my life simpler

That would be pretty nice.

i didn't know what you guys meant by archives when i asked you what benefits of going pro were...then i tried to play an older grid.

Yeah, that's how they suck you in!

I wish there were babble archives sometimes... but only sometimes.

heh, you have a sickness, ana

no kidding. I was soooo close to busting out the credit card right then and there.

Uh oh

Do it! Do it!

you're evil...

it's cheeeeeap

and deliiiiicious

how much is it?

$15

for life, like babble

hm...i'll consider it. but i just got re-addicted to mahjong tiles. i really don't need another vice

and sheesha

Oooooh mahjong

sheesha and sudoku would go well together, i bet

haven't played that in soooooo long

they might...but i'll never know because i can't smoke sheesha in my room and there isn't internet access off campus.

your mom is a ruckus

Your mom is a sheesha

your mom is a hukah.

That she is

so how's tort class?

Stupid!

nah it's kind of fun

are you talking about guns and butter?

I wish it were about pufferfish, though.

Bars and drunks right now, actually.

nice. but you're right, pufferfish would be much cooler.

DADADADADADA STEREOTYPER

dundun da dun ta dun

chris and i had a conversation about the etymology of that word last night

we couldn't figure it out

Really? neat.

ana, i'm really happy that you found someone in law school who shares your same level of commitment and dedication to studying.

Yeah they it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I know, we're quite the team.

Scratch that "they"

we should think of a name for ourselves

the fantastic four is already taken

The slacker patrol?

i just looked up the etymology of stereotype cause I'm nerdy like that

aparently "stereo" means "solid"

ohhh wha is it?

a combining form borrowed from Greek, where it meant “solid”, used with reference to hardness, solidity, three-dimensionality in the formation of compound words

Oh sure! Derp.

That makes sense.

damn it, he should give us a break, cause i gotta pee

but i feel dumb leaving 5 minutes before the break

Do it! Do it!

oh nevermind

victory is mine!

DO IT! DO IT!

damn

i got a refill on my soda, which was probably not wise

probably not. how much longer is class?

The lunch counter dude gave me 25 cents off my cookie

score!

another hour

how long is a full class?

Go

2 hours

this one lasts from 2:00 to 3:50

Oh no, my favorite blogger is ranting about libertarians

It's kinds good though.

*kinda

do you guys want to see something really messed up, offensive, and funny?

he's not ranting about libertarians, he's ranting about morons

who happen to be libertarians

Exactly what I was going to say, leaigh

oops *leigh

I can't type today

and yes, bloodaxe, but probably not now

ok. i can't post the url in here anyway...i'll send it to you on messenger...and just know that i had NOTHING to do with it.

ok

i think the lesson here is that keys in the ignition laws are stupid

because they don't protect anyone

or have any purpose

certainly

ana, you have to check that link within 24 hours apparently.

fyi

Another argument for non-moronic libertarianism

ok, I'll check it tonight

Done. Thought I messed up there for a second.

well done zug

so is the grid ever difficult?

Yeah there are experts and hard puzzles

well i'm off...time for bed soon and i still want to watch a movie.

ana babana!

night

well i'm off...time for bed soon and i still want to watch a movie.
