Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Peter T. Date: 10 Oct 00 - 10:11 PM If my memory serves me correctly (thank you memory, you may have Thursday off this week), the record is 2 minutes and 14 seconds for an offsite answer, and is Joe's. yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Rich(bodhránai gan ciall) Date: 10 Oct 00 - 10:25 PM Does that make this a new record then? And does he get extra credit, or possibly a time reduction for all the pretty colors? Rich |

Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: WyoWoman Date: 11 Oct 00 - 11:47 AM Very good, Mary! Excellent work, all. Joe, that was one of my kids' favorite songs -- probably because I sang it with such fervor! Now, how about "Rhymes with Orange"? ww |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 11 Oct 00 - 11:53 AM WW, is this a setup? Did I read somewhere that there are no words in the English language that rhyme with orange? But I'm sure the Cats can come up with something... |

Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:14 AM how about "Joe Offer" (chortle). or "saw us" |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Jeri Date: 12 Oct 00 - 10:35 AM I could not find a rhyme for orange I gave up and closed the door and Just felt very nauseous - Next time I'll be cautious To keep my hands out of the door hinge The members in panel or in jury The various rhymes for orange try. They look for the one Most complex, but fun That still avoid lexical injury. ........I'll stop now. |

Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: rabbitrunning Date: 12 Oct 00 - 08:03 PM Wasn't there a song with a line in it about a "red rubber ball"? (After this we're going to have to start resorting to stuff like Maria Magenta...) |

Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:27 PM ...what if you DO think that? PS You were working while you should have been listening to Dave's concert! |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Joe Offer Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:32 PM Ah, but I was also cooking dinner, AND listening to Dave. ...and I fixed the MIDI link, so we can all enjoy "Fred Blubber Ball." Does it classify as bubblegum music, do ya think? But you beat me, Mary, fair and square, and I respect that.... -Joe- |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Joe Offer Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:35 PM Oh, and dinner bombed. The hamburger helper sauce didn't get thick, so I had to add instant mashed potatoes. And during all that, I was trying to prepare to lead Bible Study tonight.... I guess I don't multitask very well. Click for lotsa pop MIDIs -Joe- |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:39 PM I must confess...you beat me on Deep Purple, and mine didn't have the background, so I copied your HTML. But I did figure out how to center it. Now I need to go finish the chords for Look to the Rainbow, but I'm watching the Music Theory Question Thread to figure out what to do with that first chord. |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: catspaw49 Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:44 PM Christ Joe, I gotta' give you some cooking lessons. AND ..... Since you're so damn smart Mr. Offer and a fan of H.R.PuffNStuff............Connect HR and Walt Disney in ONE move. Spaw (easy one) |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: Joe Offer Date: 12 Oct 00 - 09:52 PM Hey, Spaw, all I know about PuffnStuff is what Google leads me to. My kids are 22,25, and 28 - and I don't think PuffnStuff was around when my kids were the proper age. I know all about Sesame Street, though. What stuff were they puffin'?? -Joe- |

Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 13 Oct 00 - 12:03 PM
There was a department store in London founded by a Frederick Gorringe
It was called Gorringes, which rhymes with oranges. So does "porringers".
A porringer is another name for a porridge bowl. As in Goldilocks. |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 13 Oct 00 - 08:16 PM So are there any other words in the English language which are said to have no rhymes? |
Subject: RE: The rainbow connection From: GUEST,Genie Date: 06 Oct 02 - 03:38 PM Back to The Rainbow Connection: The lyrics you posted, Joe, left out the bridge.
