Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 31, 2022

For work, Puck! For work!

“Lying around too long?” What, exactly, are you implying about Garfield?

And so the distractions begin(!)

Trust Beatrix to be up on the latest technology.

“High Tech News Phones Distributed – Productivity Crashes!”

Beatrix, can you please do my phone next?

“Prone”. As in “lying around”.

Puck is the first to find games. Lupin will either be the first to lose his, or the first to find the Tik Tok challenges and get into trouble.

PHONE

OPEN (Nope?)

Told you so.

Plonk! Prong!

Peony is a good word.

O/T – anyone else awake right now looking for the meteor storm?

Too cloudy here. But there are some spectacular lightning bugs…

He found the games already. Figures.

Garfield gets a mention in Ten Cats today also: – https://www.gocomics.com/ten-cats/2022/5/31

Oh Beatrix, sweetheart, what have you done?

AAAAAHHHHH……Pucky too has gotten the Wordle bug. It is everywhere!!!!!

How many did you get your Wordle in?

Morning routine, BCN, NYTimes crossword, Wordle, Phoodle (Worlde, but with a food theme) and coffee

OT Mum

LOVE the wordle reference!!! I alternate between that and reading BCN as my first activity of the day.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Here’s the Daily Scroll’s “Glyphle” game. Can you guess the five-hieroglyph word in six tries?

Elvis-Anum: I’ll start with Stele, an upright slab of stone with inscriptions that served as a monument.

Puckmosis: Bea, do you have the key with you?

Beatrixia: Right here. Elvis, you have four letters correct, with the “S” being in the right position.

Elvis-Anum: Then it must be Senet*, our favorite board game.

Puckmosis: Oh, haven’t played that in awhile.

Beatrixia: Maybe the Senior Bridge Team would be interested in having a tournament.

Elvis-Anum: But there must be plenty of refreshments. Will Thomios have enough.

Sound of giggling in the background

Puckmosis: Somehow I think so.

*For a description, go to discoveringegypt.com/ancient-egyptian-game-senet/.

reminds me of last month when i got the wordle 1st try

Given the number of old, unused phones currently found in desk drawers and boxes, I have no doubt that Beatrix could outfit the entire CN team…

Reminder. Do not feed the trolls.

My NYTimes Wordle for the day. First Guess – P A R T S – “A” is in the correct place, and “R” is a correct letter. Got it on the 5th try.

Puck, I think you want Phone

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you are going write about the Word of the Day in Wordle, please put it in a reply to an OT: Wordle comment. Some of us wait until lunchtime to do Wordle and don’t want the answer to be revealed to us.

That does seem to summarize events as I have seen them.

‘Wordle to Your Mother!’ … :)

Funny, my bet was that Puck would look at recipes and probably find the internet’s deep well of bacon jokes, Lupin would take videos of himself doing ridiculous stuff, and I thought Goldie would be the gamer (and subsequently drag Lupin in). Also, stick to BCN for news apps!

Wow a Wordle Strip!

Pucky!! Bea said Work, not Wordle ☺

From now on, they may just be phoning it in …

I just use my cell phone generally only for travel, with not much of that lately with the pandemic. The rest of the time, I have a landline that I ignore.

I was so embarrassed last week. I was in the dentist’s office and they asked me to email them a copy of the referral, using my cell phone, which I had brought just in case. I had never sent an email on any cell phone. I prepared the email okay, but I couldn’t find a Send icon. They had to help me. I know they had a laugh when I left, the “hopeless old lady.”

Also, I have never sent a text message.

I was a professional computer geek, that’s how I made my living, so I am okay with technology (I’ve set up email servers at work), but cell phones are just too small and loud and intimidating and I don’t like them. I want a keyboard.

OT:

Impressive. Beatrix is one smart kitten.

I miss my Garfield phone :(

OT about today’s Wordle, though probably not enough to really help any one.

Too bad you don’t know what the news ACTUALLY IS, Bea.

When there’s one letter left I’ll do a brute force search. If I’m lucky it’s only vowels. Sometimes it’s easier not to think.

Somehow, the Garfield phone reminds me of an orange Dr. Scuttles…

A puzzle. I spilled red wine on t e keyboard. Two letters are not workin . ow do I tell you w at letters are not workin , w en I can’t type t em?

T e ame is a foot.

When Wordle was just becoming a thing, one of my kids posted a screenshot of the puzzle after solving it to brag about their score. Yes, a screenshot showing the word for that day.

Everyone promptly let my kid know that everybody has the same word to solve every day – so that the kid wouldn’t spoil the answer for everyone else ever again!

Oh, hey, Wordle’s made it into BCN =)

Ha! Wordle!

LOL the wordle is phone

Prone

im pretty sure the answer is “prone”
