BS: Figure this Out !

Subject: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Jan 00 - 03:55 PM Here's a nifty little game called "In other Words." Take a well-known Folk or Blues song title, like Blowin' in the Wind, and put it in other words ie: "Propelled through the Atmosphere by Powerful Air Currents". The correct guesser presents the next IOW. I'll start- "Martial contest Taking Place in Randy Newman's Hometown" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: T in Oklahoma (Okiemockbird) Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:07 PM Would that be "The Battle of New Orleans ?" T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:14 PM Right, LeeJ???? Go for it, Tbird! He was born in L.A., but spent a lot time in New Orleans. What's the next one? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: JenEllen Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:16 PM Fun! C'mon T-Bird, give us a doozy! Elle |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:17 PM Assuming I got the answer right, my modified title is: "Of your courtesy, qualify not my marsupial self by means of an urisnominiferous adjective." T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:21 PM You were right Okie! Now... the marsupial...hmmm |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: kendall Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:27 PM The only marsupial that comes to mind is a kangaroo, cant remember the words..Tie me kangaroo down. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:30 PM It's something like "please don't judge me kangaroo(or wallabie,or..) by a (what the HELL does urisnominiferous mean?)adjective". Dictionary anybody? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:35 PM You're getting warm, LEJ. Hint: Our Aussie friends are sure to get it. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:37 PM Oh, boy, my BIG dictionary just has uriniferous which means to convey urine, so I guess it's a pisser! Has this got anything to do with Cleigh!!!??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:38 PM Please, don't judge my Roo by his/her pee???**BG** |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:45 PM Tie Me Kangaroo Down ??????? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:46 PM I'm afraid I misled you slightly: it should be "urisnominiferous noun", not "adjective". Hint #2: "ursinominiferous" may be a neologism. You can parse it by breaking it down into its Latin roots. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:53 PM Oops: the spelling should be "urSInominiferous" not "uris". Sorry. Hint #3: It has been mentioned in this forum in the past year. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mbo Date: 15 Jan 00 - 04:55 PM I'm going to say "Please Don't Call My Kangaroo a Bear." --Mbo |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Jan 00 - 05:15 PM Oh well, a URISnominiferous NOUN! That changes everything! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 05:23 PM That's URSI- (not URIS) -nominiferous. The first four letters are YU, ARR, ESS, EYE. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Peter T. Date: 15 Jan 00 - 05:23 PM While you are waiting for that, how about: Depressed Dutch Opthamologiste yours, Peter T. |

|

|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Peter T. Date: 15 Jan 00 - 05:49 PM While you are waiting: Hawkman is why there is something rather than nothing. yours, Peter T. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:01 PM What the hell is that PT??? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:01 PM Nope! Art Thieme does it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mbo Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:03 PM Try this out: Antediluvian wiccan, I point my finger at your head in a curse as I lay expiring on the ground. Too easy? --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:23 PM Shee-yut! I am confused. Was Spaw's Love minus zero/No Limit? I thought it was "Nothing from Nothing leaves Nothing." "Hawkman" still unsolved? And I can find nothing on Art's CD like "Agitated Sweeetie". And mbo...ARE YOU SERIOUS!?? Who started this anyway... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:29 PM Well, Art's Agitated Sweetie has a female sandpiper tacked on at the tail end **BG** and I bragged all over about what a grand job he does of it in a thread sometime this year and actually the sweetie isn't agitated herself, it's more like somehting they did together. Confused?? YOu should be! YOU started it! I think Spaw's was the answer to Peter's or something??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:37 PM We need to take this game to a chatroom........ Peter's Hawkman is completely a mystery and its pissing me off. Kat has something on Art, but the sandpiper thing just took me out. Meebo is completely screwed. Call the Young Center. Just shoot Leej. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: emily rain Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:39 PM antediluvian means before the flood. pre-flood witch, read: OLD witch. um. i think this must be a song i don't know.
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mbo Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:42 PM O NO! You all know this one! It's shockingly easy! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:47 PM Kat--I went to supper and came back! Shake Sugaree!!!!! |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:53 PM Great, Mary!!!! There ya go! Old Witch I Curse You While I Die????? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:55 PM Peter's--- Hawkman is why there is something rather than nothing" Mbo's---Antediluvian wiccan, I point my finger at your head in a curse as I lay expiring on the ground. My easy one---Walking in a grain field. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:56 PM Has anyone thought of the "Hawkman" one ? I don't think it's "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with", but that's all I've come up with so far. Kat, Is Mary in KY right about yours ? That was a clever one, if so. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jan 00 - 07:59 PM Yes, Tbird, she was right, thanks. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mbo Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:09 PM kat you're SOOO close! --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Peter T. Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:20 PM "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" was my answer to Cleigh's song. My song (from the same era, though a couple of years later) is still up for grabs. yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:47 PM Oh come on folks, answer mine so I can go watch the game on TV. HINT: Scottish |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:52 PM Mary in KY's is "Comin' through the Rye" I suppose. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:54 PM Yep------I'm outta here-----I give up on the Hawkman. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Peter T. Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:55 PM Don't have a clue about yours, Mary (don't know many scottish songs). Mbo -- How about "The Wake of the Medusa" -- don't think that is right. I keep thinking that there is something like an "In The Wake of the Sea Witch" song or album. Can't quite get it. yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:55 PM I suppose so, especially if Farting in a Grain Field is "The Wind that Shakes the Barley"........... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:56 PM Is the "antediluvian" one "Old Witch I curse you while I lay down and die ?" Peter T.'s still has me stumped. T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Okiemockbird Date: 15 Jan 00 - 08:59 PM Peter T., there was a John Wayne move called In the Wake of the Red Witch. Is that what you're thinking of ? T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jan 00 - 09:06 PM I'm about to start some serious name calling here Peter!!!!! But until then........... A truly fine picker would have been 51 yesterday, so in his honor (since his playing made this song) here's an easy one: "Encapsulated Moments" Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Figure this Out ! From: Mbo Date: 15 Jan 00 - 09:08 PM Nope. Like I said--kat was so very close--I asked my sister who only knows as much about folk as I tell her, which isn't very much, and SHE knew it! --Mbo |
