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: 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. |
