GentlePurpleRain

3:34 PM

I thought maybe it was too broad.

Probably shouldn't have.

Gareth McCaughan

FWIW I was pretty confident it was what it actually was

I liked Brandy better for Mom

I was confident as well, the double meaning of support

but anyway, new clues

Hmm.. 7' maybe BRAVADO?

1: Epee flourish?

GentlePurpleRain

Georges bra-

Gareth McCaughan

contact 5 @Rubio

GentlePurpleRain

contact 5

GentlePurpleRain

Gareth McCaughan

oh gawd

1: BRANDISH ✔

GentlePurpleRain

Has a nice ring to it...

3:42 PM

Welp! This next letter will end the game soon

Defending: B R A Z

GentlePurpleRain

Gareth McCaughan

GentlePurpleRain

Gareth McCaughan

GentlePurpleRain

Gareth McCaughan

10. Unashamed

3:43 PM

Pass 1''

1: Keeps folks warm outdoors

9 dies, was BRAIN TRUST

Gareth McCaughan

contact 1 @Rubio

GentlePurpleRain

4 dies. BRAY

Gareth McCaughan

2 was (Richard) BRANSON and is dead

1 BRAZIER

3:43 PM

1: ✔

GentlePurpleRain

@GarethMcCaughan I believe that 10 and 1'' may be the same word.

Still pass 1''

contact 10?

I think 10 is the same

GentlePurpleRain

(although your clue is better).

Gareth McCaughan

3:44 PM

I'm not sure what 1' is being referred to

Pass 10 too

Gareth McCaughan

(last 1' I saw was BREAKFAST which doesn't make it likely that 1''=10)

10: BRAZEN?

(yeah agreed ^)

Gareth McCaughan

yes, 10 is BRAZEN

3:45 PM

Yeah it didn't make sense, just realized it's probably right

Defending: BRAZEN

GentlePurpleRain

1'' was BRAZEN as well

Gareth McCaughan

so, er, what was 1'?

GentlePurpleRain

1' was BRAVADO

what was its 1' ?

that was 7' :)

Gareth McCaughan

really?

3:45 PM

Hm.. Awk

GentlePurpleRain

oops

well, never mind, then.

the 1's were Baconesque

GentlePurpleRain

Gareth definitely gets this one.

No wonder it wasn't solved...

Gareth McCaughan

maybe, though yours was passed first

anyway, I would rather not defend right now; do you want to take it @GentlePurpleRain?

Out of the sheer fact that I thought he knew what it was

3:46 PM

first setting wins, not first guessed

Gareth McCaughan

that would also be GPR not me

GentlePurpleRain

but..

8 mins ago, by n_palum

1'' BRAINDEAD, BRAVEHEART, BRASH, BRANDED

I don't think I can defend. Anyone else?

I have to hop on a call in 10, so I can't

GentlePurpleRain

@Rubio Didn't think mine counted, since it was wrong (1' instead of 7')

Gareth McCaughan

@GentlePurpleRain but remember wrongness counts for nothing in Contact

3:47 PM

^^

Gareth McCaughan

anyway if GPR can't defend then I suppose I will. I'll try to make it quick

Setting it wrong doesn't change what word you set :)

Gareth McCaughan

Gareth defending: G

1: You

Speed rouuuung

3:48 PM

2: Him

1': The partner in crime

contact 1,2,1'

Gareth McCaughan

Gareth McCaughan

3:49 PM

2 is probably GentlePurpleRain (also boring)

Gareth McCaughan

1' might also be GentlePurpleRain

You gotta make the Dad jokes!

1' Yeah lol

Gareth McCaughan

no, you gottan't

3: Charger might live in one

3:49 PM

What in the world is gottan't

5: Simon's partner

contact 5

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio perhaps 3 might be GARAGE though I don't think many people keep either their horses or their power supplies in the garage.

@n_palum 5 is surely GARFUNKEL

3 What about their Dodge Charger? ✔

5 in fact it is!

4: Beautiful, like a canyon

Gareth McCaughan

3:50 PM

incidentally, fans of leftish American politics and Paul Simon should check out the latest Late Show on Youtube which has Stephen Colbert jamming with Paul Simon.

@Rubio That's American :P

Gareth McCaughan

@BusinessCat presumably 4 is GRAND.

Contact 4

2: New mod's neologism

4 is not GRAND

3:51 PM

I watch Colbert occasionally

Gareth McCaughan

@BusinessCat well, it should be

Uncontact 4, I agree ^

contact 4

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio I suppose 2 is probably GOTTAN'T

2: ✔

Gareth McCaughan

3:51 PM

@BusinessCat then 4 must be GORGE-OUS

nvm

4: ✔

Gareth McCaughan

(ugh)

What iiiis that word!

Gareth McCaughan

:-)

3:52 PM

1: What 4 elicits

I thought 2 was going to be GET BANNED for Rubio :P

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio 1 might be a GROAN

1: ✔

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum not quite a neologism

Yeah that's why I didn't contact

3:53 PM

2: JKR's Flockhart

3: Classically made with leftover spuds

Contact 2?

contact 2

4: Fun sounding stew

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio Not sure what the F is doing but you probably mean GILDEROY

3:53 PM

6: Twins

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum 4 is probably GAZPACHO

4 is right

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum 3 sounds like GNOCCHI

@GarethMcCaughan Signalling my brain is not quite here. ✔

3 is in fact

My Grandma makes good Gnocchi

Gareth McCaughan

3:54 PM

@n_palum you changed "soup" to "stew" and I am wondering whether I now need to change GAZPACHO to GOULASH

@KritixiLithos 6 is probably GEMINI

10. Ring it

Ooo also works :P

6: yes

1: Some were famously seen in mist

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio 1 is probably GORILLAS

3:55 PM

1: ✔

2: Peanut Butter Jelly

8: Harambe

Contact 8

Gareth McCaughan

@KritixiLithos 8 is also a GORILLA, though not particularly in the mist

8: yes

3:55 PM

8': Harambae

3: Ironically named country?

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum perhaps you're gesturing towards GUERILLA?

@Rubio probably GREENLAND

8' clever thought but no

3: ✔

contact 8' if I remember the memes correctly

Gareth McCaughan

3:57 PM

I am pretty sure I don't remember the memes correctly so: pass 8'

8': GIRLFRIEND?

No...

GONE FOREVER :P

Gareth McCaughan

phew

I have no idea what 8' was about then

BUT NOT FROM OUR HEARTS

The meme

I have no idea too

Gareth McCaughan

3:58 PM

presumably some meme made out of Harambe + bae

anyway, thankfully the clue is also now GONE FOR EVER

or at least until the next time someone is defending G

7: Spooner's tidy, sound's like geese, is an organization (10)

1: Polearm

Gareth McCaughan

@n_palum perhaps 2 might be GRAPE?

That's a horrendously awful clue, but oh well

GentlePurpleRain

contact 1

3:59 PM

2 nope

3: Shin guard?
