Of course it's number 13, which else would it be? You other guys, you humans, you should take the lead of the main cat........whoever that is
hehehehehehehehehe
Hi Cheshire....
come on over here and let me scratch you behind the ears.
what a huge big grin you have!
....love your avatar!!
oooooouuuuu, ahhhhhh, that's very nice P&L........ooouuuu.....I love humans who do that to me. Thank you for that little snuggle.
Now, my human, Lola has asked me to tell everybody here that she has made a very important decision. She has some VERY important reports due by next Monday.....and she finds that she keeps playing here and not doing her work. She CANNOT do this anymore! So she's decided to not come back to a2k until her work is completed. So look for her next Monday or so........and if you see her around here before her work is done. Tell her to GO AWAY and come back when she's done what she is supposed to do. Thnaks.
Yeah!!!!! See you all soon.
The THRIP round is over...
Macsm11, Equus and Lola voted for #4 Lobster Bait. Good choice but WRONG. Peace and Love posted that bogus answer.
Jespah, Littek and Diane thought #14 involving mechanical piping made sense. WRONG. Sozobe offered that ruse.
Diane fooled Dlowan with #7 about a corn insect.
Equus caught LarryBS on the #9 movie film thing.
Lola tricked Peace and Love with #11 re jellyfish
and
LarryBS caught Sozobe with #15 involving wood moulding.
If anyone is keeping score, Sozobe and Peace & Love are the winners on this round, scoring 3 points each. Diane, Equus, Lola and LarryBS score one each.
And, oh yes, realjohnboy gets 2 points for posting THRIP, a word that no one chose as the correct answer. The real answer was #1:
TO SNAP ONE'S FINGERS.
Thanks for your participation. -rjb-
OhMyGosh... Lola and I picked each other's definitions last time, too!!!
Great Minds Think Alike!!!
Congratulations, realjohnboy, on choosing a word that fooled everyone!!!
:-)
Then just what the smeg is a rose thrip, which we have plenty of over here?
"Thrip: any of numerous small insects of the order Thysanoptera, charqcterized by long, narrow wings fringed with hairs , many species of which are destructive to plants."
But I shall go down with grace....
Oh what the hell, bunny, go ahead and pout, you have very good reason, or something that passes for reason, whatever that might be, but I digress.....
RJB, congratulations!! Not many dashers can fool all the players.
Excellent, rjb! Now, who wants to be the next dasher?
I volunteer.
the word is...............J A R K
I had this urge to visit with my friends Felix Noir and Cheshire, more like a vision (Snow White). I brought along my chef that fellow firstthought. I see a few of the rules have been slightly modified in this version of Balderdash! So when is the new word coming up?
taffy. :wink: :wink:
Taffy <pat, pat>, the word is Jark, which we in New England pronounce as "Jahk".
Have definitions so far from
Lola
Cheshire
Macsm11
Diane
Felix Noir

Jespah
need a few more...
JARK: Anyone who volunteers to be Dasher in these contentious times.
We've never bothered keeping score before; the fun was in the playing. But I had a couple of pm's from potential new players and Equus seems to have had bluffs from newcomers. Perhaps some of them, along with some of the regulars, are interested in the point totals.
We should try to accommodate that competitive spirit.
The problem I have is with how rapidly language evolves; how many new words come into our vocabulary.
The Dasher picks a word from the Balderdash deck or from some Google-site, only to discover, to his/her chagrin, that the word might have a totally different meaning somewhere else in the world.
The solution might be for the Dasher to choose only polysyllabic words. No more thrip, carfax or jark.
Anyway, if y'all would like me to re-score the thrip round, I can probably do so. -rjb-
Seems fair to me to re-score thrip and give those players the points. And I like having the score kept track of, its fun.
