Is EARTH DROP LAND any better?

Do you have a mental picture of Mary Poppins' umbrella?

Yes, all kinds of mental pictures...

Help!!! I'm insane from jumbling...

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.

How do you spell RELIEF? Parrot Headed Umbrella...
Thank you.

Did you see the gang has
GLUED FILTH on the wall?

GLUED FILTH = delightful (see "heterological")

Good thing you're not involved in

One word, not two? Capitalized, or lower case?

Two words, proper name, movie character.

Aha! Must be Jack Sparrow, but my moviegoing is so infrequent
that I don't know anything more about it/him.

Must have been one of those

It could be sporadic or it could be picadors.. Picadors from one of my favorite children's books, Ferdinand the Bull.

It's EUCHARISTIC - I know Eucharist, but can it be an adjective, too?

From Dictionary.com:

WordNet - Cite This Source

eucharistic

adj : of or relating to the sacrament of the Eucharist; "the Eucharistic cup" [syn: Eucharistic]

I have no word to Jumble... boo hoo. And I skipped the England trip for this....

anyone remember mehitabel, who was friendly with a
type "a" roach. Did anyone think to call
archy a poet ?

EDIT: (acknowledgment to KHC 5/19/2004)

...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!

TYPE A ROACH

apothecary

Hab, you are a puzzle, and I need to sleep on it!!

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.
