Let the 'kids' have fun here! Please avoid very open disclosures. Continue only the deceptively harmless, innocent comments!!! :D

[CLUELESS]

dear pp,
many thanks for thinking of an alternative. an excellent via media.
i will visit both the sites and be an interference to the one i see as a jovial challenge.

listen to beatles "we can work it out". and u will know what i mean.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Better than beatles, now being a playmate with grandchildren I love Bob, the Builder's title song,'can we fix it, yes we can'!!! :lol:

[CLUELESS]

never heard that one. will try tomorrow.
i too am disturbed by my grandchildren.

[pavalamani pragasam]

How nice!

[CLUELESS]

SK123,
thanks to pp, we have inherited this thread. why don't you emit your output.
come on SK123, don't feel shy like a kashmiri bridegroom.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Wow! Glad we hit on this idea!

[CLUELESS]

but, how to alert SK123, p'chu???

[pavalamani pragasam]

Hope they read the old posts! pammechu knows?

[CLUELESS]

dear erudites,
your theory of excluding yourselves amounts to shirking away from your targets.
please stop ogling around and put pen to paper.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:rotfl: Creating a new word game, sentence-making exercise is fun indeed!

[sherkhan123]

Sorry guys have been away...did not read the old posts.....will do as PP madam wishes....starting tommorow i will not let the cat out of the bag.....and if the urge ovwrwhelms me...it will be on the other thread.

[CLUELESS]

nothing wrong in letting out the four cats over there. and then lets play mischief over here.

[CLUELESS]

sk123,
again u r absconding. don't say there is no end to the clues. immerse yourself with minimum effort while waving off any distraction.
be quick as mardi is around the corner.

[CLUELESS]

have to hurry now... to attend an expo on the expanse of crossword syndrome.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Hilariously innovative!!!

[CLUELESS]

SK123 & OTHERS,
sundays are for chilling out and today's crossword will be like a gamble in monte carlo.
be sober and nondrinker to reveal your talents.
oh! blimey! i am endearing to reveal more!!

[pavalamani pragasam]

Nice lobby!

[CLUELESS]

when chewing pan better be equipped with a spittoon nearby. lack of hygiene breeds roundworms.

[CLUELESS]

pp,
is sweetpea copper in colour?

[pavalamani pragasam]

Clueless, I am amazed by your clue-play talent!!!

[CLUELESS]

one doesn't have to be a sherlock holmes.

[pavalamani pragasam]

I am glad I found a way to retain such a witty camaderie! :D

[CLUELESS]

i'm starting today's tickle:

however much i desist my ulterior motives which brink on idiocy; i reassess my goal on coming to a bridge even if i have to foot it.

please don't be dismissive of my pranks!!!!

[CLUELESS]

tried my new roebucks for today's walk. turned out to be fake and a real image of the original. better walk barefoot like in the iron age.
maybe design my own shoes in my atelier.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Still a few more?

[CLUELESS]

after the morning fiasco with roebucks, i would like to resort to an isle, faraway from the herd of humanity and be a servant to people who want to emigre to the isle.

isn't it a gem of a reflection from a nut like me??

[CLUELESS]

if anyone rigs our clues, i will almost have a r..... mortis!!!! citrus helps flexibility.

[CLUELESS]

if anyone rigs our clues, i will almost have a r..... mortis!!!! citrus helps flexibility.

[CLUELESS]

wishing for an old fashioned fight and publicising in the mass media, has me foxed.
any rescuers???

[pavalamani pragasam]

'nut'? :rotfl: Delicious for a monkey like me! :lol: Fantastic feast of imagination! :swinghead:

[CLUELESS]

feast of imagination is incomplete until the old fashioned fight is won. esp. when it is in the mass media!!!

[pavalamani pragasam]

I am clueless now! :roll:

[CLUELESS]

today's programme is to stay at home and order the busy lascar to cook extra okra curry.

[pavalamani pragasam]

And never waver or peeve the speeds over the osier!

[CLUELESS]

okra-curry goes well with barbeque ling. thought it was scarce in asia, but caught 'lode's of them by the river.
my orthodox neighbours may think i don't believe in atheism or ahimsa.
a good lunch followed by a siesta .... y....awning!!!

[CLUELESS]

sorry, remove the 'a' from atheism.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Done! :lol:

[kkotirao]

Hey all, stop beating around Nandina bushes!
Let the ostler take charge

[pavalamani pragasam]

The fun is irresistible! :D

[CLUELESS]

the fun wants me to entomb today's x-word. may I???

[CLUELESS]

may I ?? brutus!!!

[pavalamani pragasam]

Wait for the clock to strike ten!

[kkotirao]

Yes, i too have decided to aspirate for certain things...and stopped hearing carnatic music

[CLUELESS]

kk,
you are a late raider and most welcome.
i am turing blue & green -- almost cyan.
can't figure what to mount in france?

[kkotirao]

Yes, Clueless,
it is unmountable for now

[CLUELESS]

lets wait till morrow to mount this beast in the south of france.

[CLUELESS]

the compiler has a lot of explanation to do !!!!!
r u listening????

[kkotirao]

Yes, he owes an explanation for framing such a bad clue! I doubt whether anyone got it...

[CLUELESS]

pp,kk,
if we were ardent skiers, we would have gone to Mount MEZENC.
good one. don't you agree?
i am out of station in another 30 minutes, for 2 to 3 days.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Shall miss you! :(

[sherkhan123]

where is the common gang? grant that clueless is away...

[CLUELESS]

i am back to spend time on this addiction and no more errata after the first recant by me this morning.

[CLUELESS]

the early birds for the present moment have the fringe benefit of extra corners to fill; in so far as the after effects are not unlawful or taboo and are acceptable to fellow hubbers.

[CLUELESS]

sk123,
i presume you are a late riser!!

[sherkhan123]

No..its Decreed.. the morning constitutional is a must.. even if it means collecting bells in a corner with the help of a lantern....but the despicable fellow eludes me....as does the pencil

[CLUELESS]

if ADAM & EVE were chinese, we would still be in paradise -- they would have preferred the snake to the apple. (or even the rat).
at the rate humans are going, they will soon be endangered species because of adam's folly.

[CLUELESS]

lets abscond for a while and find the cam that writes a slate.
hope you trapped the rat, by now !!

[CLUELESS]

the pencil is slated for an autopsy, if the correct "3letter word" is not forthcoming.

[CLUELESS]

it's sunday, and let the wild goose chase begin. by posting at two different threads, a two timer is not guilty of transgressions.

[sherkhan123]

HAVE U EATEN TOURNEDOS ROSSINI?

[CLUELESS]

NEVER TRIED IT!!
I'M TOLD IT IS CRUSTY AND YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO CUTTING THE CORNERS BEFORE BITING. A MISHMASH LIKE BHELPURI.

[sherkhan123]

IM THROUGH..IM GOING TO FLY KITES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...LOOKS LIKE THIS CHILDISH BANTER IS ONLY FOR US...NO ONE ELSE POSTS HERE...EVEN PAMMECHU..

[CLUELESS]

U R RIGHT.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE YESTERDAY.
WHAT NEXT?

[pavalamani pragasam]

Nervous users executed while Electra dwelt with the easel near the trident.

[pavalamani pragasam]

How I miss the clue -givers! :(

[pavalamani pragasam]

See the erse erector on the terrace!

[kkotirao]

I appreciate your elaborate attempts

[pavalamani pragasam]

:thumbsup:

[kkotirao]

Where are the members of the conclave? Are they on this isothermal planet or have they become alienists?

[pavalamani pragasam]

Out of station, I suppose!

[sherkhan123]

Good to see the Council here....lets take a lance and bleed the leech...cause it relegated the herb to being the topic for amendment...but make sure you leave no stains...any one for a Campari? :wink:

[pavalamani pragasam]

If Theresa proposed to uncle to elevate and steer the rotor cleared for good investment!

[kkotirao]

Why relegate Theresa, when you have the barmaid, who scratched the strangler?

[kkotirao]

Sherkhan123, Thanks for raising the topic on campari, ofcourse, I drink...but i kept it top secret from my family...and i need transport after a drink

[pavalamani pragasam]

:rotfl:

[sherkhan123]

HELLO....is it time for he mid term break? are we going to stoop to our feral instincts and have medoc? or outbear and be austere? where is swami clueless...may be with the recession he thought it expedient to suspend activities.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Foretaste of dentistry with optic coverage nears asset seconds before one totes sheared spoils trouping with top secret.

[sherkhan123]

has clueless gone in search of ethereal myriapods? he should be restrained before he reaches monrovia...and takes a bridal fancy to the sultana..or before he will conspire to enrol at erato's and make a spectacle of himself.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:lol:

[CLUELESS]

sk123,
there were no sultanas in my fancy.
anyway, coming back to the main(s), the kick-start today was good and i did my share. i almost fractured my spatula and my clothes were in tatters when i wanted to rejoin the hubbers.
what did our edict proclaim during my adsence???

[kkotirao]

Your reappearance is much needed and feel like having goodies made with ghee...I take an auto to come here and tell you this...

[sherkhan123]

KKrao....The Royalty dont take off on autos....a prairie Schonner more like it....they also eat scampi..and carry a scimitar...with enamel on their teeth. still life has to go on ...but be on call...i cant get 4DN and do also 15 AC ?a? off.

[CLUELESS]

was bored staying in ankara and my mind rusted. no crosswords to weave your clues.consulted the quacks who soon made me a toper. now i am back with sadistic pleasure.

[kkotirao]

Tie-up with Shaman would have been a better choice.

[CLUELESS]

kk,
thanks for the tips. their receipe seemed to appeal to my salivary glands; alas! it tasted no better than offal dipped in boric acid.

[CLUELESS]

come on hubbers! you don't need a passport to enter- just relax in your easy chair. do not worry or imagine of a tsunami which may extirpate us upto bahrain- stuntsmen are lucky to be secured and prosper.

[kkotirao]

Clueless,
Carry along a Flashgun, it may provide some respite...
Floral tributes to those bracing in Tsunami...

[sherkhan123]

hello.........looks lke this forum as died out with the mysterious disappearance of clueless......where r you clueless?

[CLUELESS]

sk123,

[pavalamani pragasam]

A clause in the catalogue of rebates can be melodramatic in the twin city mela!

[pavalamani pragasam]

Can a theodolite build a castle with nuts and bolts?

[CLUELESS]

very few hubbers today??
cheer up leaving your torrid moods behind. but, abide by the rules of this thread and don't spin tales - lest it be considered a cognizable offence!!!

[pavalamani pragasam]

:lol: Utterly enchanting! People idling in the lounge? :huh: Time to fill up, though!

[CLUELESS]

today's X-word is really an afflict-ion. referred english dictionary and usage, for remote possibility of a hint.
so that i can lark(s) around the rest of the day.

[pavalamani pragasam]

So, larks it is! Not at all a song, I agree! :lol: With a pie as dish in hand!!!

[CLUELESS]

one has to look up in order to spot the roundarch; no point is showing shabbiness when referring to the thesaurus.

[CLUELESS]

control the horse with a bit, reins and ******

[pavalamani pragasam]

Risk of dismal documentaries absent!

[CLUELESS]

PP,
YOU HAVE SOUNDED THE FIRST SIREN FOR A GALA TIME HERE.

[pavalamani pragasam]

[pavalamani pragasam]

Gliding through hopeless clues touched nadir and the garden of Eden!

[CLUELESS]

TO PASS TIME AND BOLSTER ONES SPIRIT, A GAME OF POLO WITH SOME EATS WOULD SPARE US FROM STUPIDITY. (OR EVEN A LONG WALK TO EXERCISE OUR CALF MUSCLES).

[CLUELESS]

today started off as a tempest in the tea shop, with topical problems to mess about. with tarot reading, tidy answers emerged though some inane to me.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:exactly:

[CLUELESS]

The inventor of todays CW lures us to many bottom-less clues requiring tapa filters. A dutch-wife may support our starving minds to huff & puff at double time in order to merge with the guiles of NJ.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:rotfl3:

[CLUELESS]

ANYONE WILL EVER BE BEWILDERED BY THE CLEVER & EERIE CLUES.
STARING THROUGH BINOCULARS AFTER A BINGE MAY INCITE US TO SEE THROUGH THE ETHER, THE PINT SIZED IMAGINATION PLANTED BY THE BENEFACTOR OF TODAYS CW.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:lol:

[CLUELESS]

I relent for having visited the site which borders on motions that make you go berserk.
Other businesses were lying ajar, instead of a spasmodic tryst with NJ.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:lol2:

[CLUELESS]

apart from the two of us -- nobody seems interested.
think== should this thread continue?????

[pavalamani pragasam]

Let it continue in the hope more will be lured. Two is good enough, only solo will look odd!!! :D

[CLUELESS]

some anomalous sample clues require applied research to earn a copper medal or a bouquet of lettuce.
better to lie low and learn naiki.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:rotfl2:

[CLUELESS]

TODAY'S MOSAIC OF CLUES WERE NOT DEGRADING OR CAUSING AN EPILEPSY.
NEITHER WAS THE NEED FOR AN UMPIRE OR A COMMANDO.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:yes:

[CLUELESS]

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE STAR SOLVERS WHO GO TO LENGTHS WITH EASE.
I PREFER TO ABORT THE BARBARIC STABS AT MY IGNORANCE WHICH AGGRAVATES MY MISERY.
BETTER TO BE BLITHESOME LIKE A LARK, RATHER THAN A SHRIVELLED VIPER.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:D I was lame!!!

[pavalamani pragasam]

Answers to some clues appearing in the clues for other words! What a wonderful idea! :clap:

[CLUELESS]

IT WAS A PASSIONATE & SCHOLARLY ATTEMPT BY THE SETTER - MAYBE A SALVAGE OPERATION!! :idea:

[pavalamani pragasam]

:lol:

[CLUELESS]

stood with arms akimbo as experts shredded the clues though some were otiose and camouflaged in khaki. i did retrieve some from the slough, though Obrien had the last villainous laugh.

[pavalamani pragasam]

:D

[CLUELESS]

the inmates of the CW theatre raid with a driving force almost resorting to spirit writing.

[pavalamani pragasam]

breakfast today was an ODDBALL of AVOCADO pear with glass of lime topped with DRY ICE - good for the TORSI.
it was STUPID and DEMEANing of me not to GET THERE as a couple of clues were ASTERISKed by me after going on an ECLIPTIC spree.

[pavalamani pragasam]

Good! :D

[CLUELESS]

the OGRE in me detects a BLACK SPOT :idea:

[CLUELESS]

anagrams, word-play, ET AL AROUSed my thoughts to get a GRIP of it. but the HEART BREAKING PROTRUSIONS were like a DEATHTRAP. after some WARM UP ASANAs followed by a set of BADMINTON, MARSHALled my memories as a SCHOOL TEACHER.
a breakfast of MEATBALLS & fried SEA TROUT later, i was THANKFUL to the colonel.
