Is EARTH DROP LAND any better?

As there was Homer's rosy-fingered dawn, there is Mary Poppins' parrot-headed umbrella. (see "epithet")

If you google "PARROT-HEADED UMBRELLA" there are about 500 gHits.

"PARROT-HANDLED UMBRELLA" has only about 70.

...and speaking of that entry of 5/19/04, I note that a)you posted "LEAP TREE SCN" next and couldn't remember what it was afterwards, and b) arnie posted it again on 4/22/06. Both are in earlier threads of Jumbl*whatever. Great minds think alike, I see.

Funny how a puzzle is easier the third time around!

LEAP TREE SCN makes PEARLESCENT. My earlier jumble of that word was PET CLEANERS.

The original reference to KHC's presentation of "pearlescent" was here - see the 5/19/04 entry if it doesn't come up automatically.

And arnie's was here.
