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.

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