They weren't.

Things were going so well there for a while...

. Think of words ending in "-gry". "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. The answer is language. It is the third word of "the English language". The question needs to be spoken, otherwise the quotation marks give away the trick. This version apparently originated in 1996. 2. "Angry" and "hungry" are two words in the English language that end in "-gry". "What" is the third word. The word is something that everyone uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. The answer is what. The question states that "what" is the third word, then it asks for the third word. Again this version needs to be spoken to be effective. 3. There are three words in English that end in "gree." The first two are "angry" and "hungry," and if you've listened closely you'll agree that I've told you the third one. The answer is agree. It is a phonetic version of the riddle, asking for words that end in the sound "gree," but tricks people into thinking about the letters g-r-y by giving the two examples. 4. There are three words in the English language that end in the letters g-r-y. Two are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses it every day. What is the third word? The answer is energy. The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order. 5. There are at least three words in the English language that end in g or y. One of them is "hungry," and another one is "angry." There is a third word, a short one, which you probably say every day. If you are listening carefully to everything I say, you just heard me say it three times. What is it? The answer is say. The question must be said in such a way that the word "or" sounds like the letter "r". Once more, to be effective it is crucial that this version is spoken rather than printed. This version is first known to have appeared in 1997. 6. There are three words in the English language that end in "-gry." Two words that end in "-gry" are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses them every day. If you listened very carefully, I have already stated to you what the third word is. What are the three words that solve this riddle? The answer is I am hungry. The question asks for three words that end in "-gry", but does not say that they each must end in "-gry." 7. There are three words in the English language that end in "-gry." One is "angry" and the other is "hungry." Everyone knows what the third one means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them every day. And if you listened carefully I've given you the third word, what is it? The answer is three. It is the third word in the question, and the rest of the question is irrelevant: a red herring designed to put the solver off. 8. There are only three words in the English language, all adjectives, which end in "-gry." Two are "angry" and "hungry"; the third word describes the state of the world today. What is it? This is the (presumed) original version of the puzzle from 1975. The possible answers (if obsolete words, names, and hyphenated compounds of "angry" and "hungry" are allowed) are plentiful. Most of the 124 listed below were in the 1933 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, and all have appeared in some major dictionary of English: affect-hungry fire-angry MacLoingry Seagry aggry Gagry mad-angry self-angry Agry girl-hungry mad-hungry selfe-angry ahungry gonagry magry sensation-hungry air-hungry gry malgry sex-angry anhungry haegry man-hungry sex-hungry Badagry half-angry managry Shchigry Ballingry hangry mannagry shiggry begry heart-angry Margry Shtchigry bewgry heart-hungry maugry sight-hungry boroughmongry higry pigry mawgry skugry bowgry hogry meagry Sygry braggry hogrymogry meat-hungry Tangry Bugry hongry menagry Tchangry Chockpugry hound-hungry messagry Tchigry Cogry houngry music-hungry tear-angry cony-gry huggrymuggry nangry th'angry conyngry hund-hungry overangry tike-hungry cottagry Hungry Bungry Pelegry Tingry Croftangry hwngry Pingry toggry diamond-hungry iggry Podagry ulgry dog-hungry Jagry Pongry unangry dogge-hungry job-hungry pottingry vergry Dshagry kaingry power-hungry Vigry Dzagry land-hungry profit-hungry vngry eard-hungry Langry puggry war-hungry Echanuggry leather-hungry pugry Wigry Egry ledderhungry red-angry wind-hungry euer-angry life-hungry rungry yeard-hungry ever-angry Lisnagry scavengry yird-hungry fenegry losengry Schtschigry Ymagry Oh, great. Now this thread IS boring. And dumb. Thanks a lot, Birthday Boy.

I have to admit, thread quality has improved with the addition of pictures.

Have a happy birthday, Dru-Spotter. Even if you are Canadian, eh.

It's about 10 posts now. Go back to bed, lizard brain. I would, but yo' momma peed in it. She does that sometimes. She can't help it.

It's a secret. No one is supposed to know what this thread is really about.

Suck my bowels.

WTF is "this is a dumb thread" all the fuck about? Sheesh. If ya ain't innerested, go read somethin' else already. And yeah, yeah--this is a dumb thread. I popped that one before it got out yer ass.

That's true. I had one with Fontina cheese and spinach. Delish. I hate you, too.

Um, whatEVer.

Starbucks Raising Prices Again "Starbucks is raising the price of its drinks again, this time by an average of 9 cents following a 5-cent hike last fall. It is unusual for the Seattle-based coffee shop chain, whose stock has suffered in recent months, to raise prices even once a year. The last price increase before last October came in 2004, when drinks rose an average of 11 cents. The latest increase applies only to U.S. company-owned stores, but shops run by partners, such as grocery stores and airport vendors, often follow suit." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2003802533_webstarbucks23.html Has the rise in "espresso drink" prices at shops like Starbucks affected your willingness to buy espresso drinks? (If you've never been one to buy coffee at these place, don't bother...) Or do you figure it's better for you than a pack of Hostess Ding Dongs, or you're already paying over $3 so what's another $1 or $2? When espresso first hit the PNW big time I'd buy one every day. Then, as prices went up, I'd treat myself to one every payday. Now, I buy one every 3-4 weeks, usually in a social situation. But Starbucks, especially, is ALWAYS busy. What are people thinking?

I wonder if they pulled his head out while they were in there?

Where can I get some wine chips? I like wine, so probably I'd like those, too. smart ass

Maybe he had a good reason for asking... Let's ask him. Dude?

That, combined with having a summit as the objective, is how I tend to think of it. Otherwise, it's cragging. For example, you could start at the base of Mt. Erie and climb to the summit, but I wouldn't consider it alpine because you're not "in" the mountains. You could climb any of the Darrington routes, and they are in an outstanding alpine environment, but I would consider them cragging because you are not scaling a peak.

They were tied up.

I'm impressed, it only took 15 posts, and it wasn't even Archie of Muffie! I can get nasty with the best of 'em.

:lmao:

Spanking.

Would that be the purple people eater?

I'm curious to hear what your Outer Nut has to say.
