COTTON PALES

OPALESContt...

Durn. And it started out so encouragingly, too.

Hab,
I threw away my scribbling papers, and I don't even remember the word.. and can't even unscramble it ...! Yikes! All I can get is "polecat snot", and I'm pretty sure I didn't mean that. Another one, spelled correctly, is coming up.

RE: SOUP

lassitude

Arnie, certainly what we feel in Georgia today... 98 degrees, 100% humidity... it's brutal... I spent the afternoon at a friend's pool..

SALOON GURU.... good old bartender!

SALOON GURU

languorous - it's just too hot to make it Upper Case!

TEEN VADER that would be Anakin?
I.E., TRAIN

(two possibilities for the first, but only one fits the theme)

TEEN VADER... IETRAIN

enervated .... inertia

The very sweaty pet shop owner says:

What SELLS IS NESTS!... re: finches.

DIRTY TOPI

DIRTY TOPI

TORPIDITY

and the poisoned-arrow maker said TRY INEES

Did you know that COTTON PALES INN makes CONSTANTINOPLE? But that's too far off to be what you had in mind with our now-lost COTTON PALES.

Edit: Got it. You meant PENTACOSTAL but you gave us two Os instead of two As. 'Swonderful what a couple of days not-thinking of a problem, plus a fresh review of the data, will do for your mental clarity :-)

Actually, the word is PENTECOSTAL

TRY INEES

Serenity

LESS NAZI

laziness

BEDROOM

PENTECOSTAL making it two Es needed rather than two As or Os

bedroom BOREDOM (not for me though... )

A FAT LICENCE permission to eat alot...?

Hab and Arnie... Thanks for unscrambling my own word! I now know how to spell pentecostal...

I'm having no luck with A FAT LICENCE though...

I think I might have it... A FAT LICENCE is

calefacient... to make warm... ??

If so, look at that pink monkey!!

I SPOON IT

I SPOON IT

Spooning is a position.. also... ! And there I was, thinking of good works

Where are the drugs? ASK TRAUMA

addendum: ASK TRAUMA (two words, capitalized, not English)

Only ONE word, as far as I can ascertain... not English.. but still familiar to everyone... I think. Oui, oui!

One word ==> 650 000 googlistings
Two words ==>1 400 000 googlistings

I guess either one is acceptable.

If you are talking about the sexual positions associated word... isn't that two words?

KAMASUTRA or KAMA SUTRA... whatever!

I solved the damned thing... someone else take a turn.

I AIMED NOT... to enter into mediation...

DUMB MOANS

Ooh, that's a good one!

OMBUDSMAN

How about ROAR, RABITT!

ROAR RABITT... lots of r's and t's and a's..

I think the NHL needs an arbitrator...

THE CREATORS - (Is this a well-known one that I just re-invented?)

THE CREATORS

Hab, don't know if it's well known... but it is orchestrate!

Now, be quiet, the foal is asleep...

SH, MY PONY

SH MY PONY = symphony

and Papa Haydn opened his PURSE, SIR and, unsurprisingly, paid his tax
to the SUPER IRS

SURPRISE! I think the greatest surprise is that I finally got one again! Yay me! Thanks for doing an easy one, Hab!

This is where the younger generations grow their stuff . . . or sow their oats . . .

HOM POTS

Speaking of the younger generation, if you change an O to an I you can make
MOSH PIT ... is there a MOSH POT, too?

Oh piffle. Finally get a chance and I flubbed it. Ok, Habbers - give us a new word, for of course you are correct. Sigh.

No, actually I see on Google there are thousands of hits for MOSH POT, and even a bumch for MOSHPOT as one word. (Live and learn!) So you're duty-bound to do the next word, whether you meant to be or not!

well then . . .

TUNE 'IM

MINUET

How about one brother KARAMUZ ?

MAZURKA!

wowowowow!

ok . . . umm . . . er . . . time for a different drummer to which we can march . . .

POP SHIP SHAJUNOL

That'd be JOHN PHILIP SOUSA...you did say "march," didn't you.

We oughta use an EBO CLARINET.
Or maybe A BILE CORNET?
Shine'em up with CLEANO BRITE.
Climb right up a BALCONI TREE.
Whaddya think?

Hab, that's great... Let's have a CELEBRATION now!!

You bring the drinks, not Mountain Dew, but that

NEW SLY DEW... that makes CW want to hide!

NEW SLY DEW isn't WEDNESWLY any day of the week,
but it _is_ NEWLYWEDS !

How about an INTIMAL ROAM ?

A MATRIMONIAL celebration...

At the wedding, there was champagne, ale, beer, and, of course,

GIN GONGS

I'm not sure anyone other than Brits and Harry Potter fans will think of SNOGGING !

[Edit: Apologies. Also Austin Powers fans, I find. One of which I am clearly not.]

In certain more refined circles it's referred to as SOUL ACTION .

SOUL ACTION

I've never seen Austin Powers, and don't wish to do so...
But isn't SNOGGING a great word....?? Kiss Kiss

osculation

Need more grass on your behind?

ARSE TURFING

So far, all I can say is "This is FRUSTRAEING !"

Hint... to change.

quote:

I'm not sure anyone other than Brits and Harry Potter fans will think of SNOGGING !

I know the word thanks to a book by Louise Rennison called "Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging" which is a delightful read. The sequel is something about being the girlfriend of a sex god.

Books can teach us so much! I bet many young people today know what it takes to TRANSFIGURE because of Harry Potter!

I don't know how to even find out about
DOPEY CAN LICE . . . guess I'll look it up.

CW,
Makes me think of Jiminy Cricket...

TRANSFIGURE

(Richard Strauss let me down
Made the verb into a noun)


DOPEY CAN LICE

Veni, vidi, WIKI- !

TRAIN CABIN (proper noun)

Britannica!

I have cut my thumb... I need
