Sometimes a noun can be contrived made from an adjective.

Aramis, good to see you pass by in capitals. Referendi is a perfect word, though one letter past the word reindeer, which was twosleepy's quest. Well, reindeer is marked and referendi prefollows the word. smile
Posted By: wofahulicodoc Next challenge, offered by twosleepy - 12/15/09 11:42 PM
Can we go from REINDEER to DASHER to DANCER to ... and DONDER and BLITZEN and maybe even to RUDOLF?

And can we do it all before ten more days has elapsed?

As stated, it's taking up the way friend is used on FaceBook (anyone who wants to friend me, or be friended, just PM me and we can go from there. I already have 2 WS friends on FB...) as a verb. If there is objection to that, you can use INFERRED instead, which has the same letters. Anyhoo, Aramis is fine to jump in. All I have to do is:

And here comes Rudolph, if the long way 'round:

BLITZEN (didn't get anywhere with the blintzes except a full stomach)
BLITZER
BLITHER (what a blithering idiot does)
BLATHER
BATHER
EARTH
RATE
EAT
AT
A
AN
AND
END
PEND
DUPE
PULED
PULLED
UPHELD
UPHOLD
RUDOLPH

Not terribly efficient, and a sort of reductio-ad-absurdum technique. Within broad limitations, it could be used to make just about anything out of anything else.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day!
Posted By: LukeJavan8 Re: he just couldn't stay away - 12/25/09 06:18 PM
Now that Rudolph found his way
and now that this is the first day of Christmas,
we could take Rudolph and make a Partridge in a Pear Tree
out of his name
(probably according to your way wofa..)
and proceed thru the Twelve Days of Christmas.

WHATEVER; MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

Many would consider it so. It's extremely lyrical, not a standard Requiem Mass at all, being set instead to German texts that Brahms found moving, but is often sung in English translation. He had most of it sketched out and then finally completed it after the death of his mother. You can hear most if not all of the sections on YouTube.

Why not sit down with a glass of CLARET some time and listen to it?

That's a toughie! Gotta go to the ends of the Earth for this one...

Did you know there is a genus of fungus called [B-->E] PERIOLA ?

Neither did I.

Apparently it comes from New Zealand, so I guess that's understandable on both our parts.

(Could I have embedded the actual pictire, rather than the URL? How?)
[whisper] What I do is go to Google Images, then copy the address of the one I want into the Enter an Image box here--it's the fourth icon from the left. Also, I have only ever used "Insert a non-floating image"--I'm kind of afraid of finding out what exactly a "floating image" is...
Oh, yes--I sometimes have difficulty finding an image small enough; IMHO they need to be pretty small so as not to overwhelm this place.[/whisper]

Hmm...I think that's exactly what I did. Oh, well. Can't win 'em all...

When I was in Venezuela fifty-odd years age I came across a children's toy called a PERINOLA. We played with it like a vertical yo-yo.

Here's one in the lower left-hand corner,

and see how to use it here .

TREAT




I am a little confused about this game then.

If we can add or subtract to the quantity of letters, how is that anagramatical.* If we can add or subtract to the quantity of letters, isn't this really just listing words without art?


Not attacking, just asking. I think I may have misunderstood the point since I came late to the game.


* not sure if anagramatical is a word, but you know what I mean I'm sure.
Posted By: BranShea Re: Want yours on a plate? - 04/13/10 03:33 PM
The basic agreement is: the word gets changed by adding or substracting one letter and scramble it. (just adding an s for plural is pretty dull though sometimes the only way to get on). You can also just rehash without adding or substracting.

My eye wants to spell it anagrammatical... but I don't think it's a "real" word either; that's never stopped me! I love makin' up words! :0)
Posted By: beck123 Re: Still want yours on a plate? - 04/14/10 01:12 AM
Another explanatory effort:

Using the existing word, make a new word. To do so, you may either

a) leave all the letters the same and anagram them, or

b) change one letter and anagram the result (or not, since the letters may already be in the correct order to form a new word,) or

C) add or delete one letter and either anagram the result or not, as in (b.)

These three are "or" choices - mutually exclusive - so only one may be applied per turn.

And (of course) stay tuned, because the rules could change at any time.
Posted By: twosleepy Re: Still want yours on a plate? - 04/14/10 02:29 AM
You forgot one, and it's a "must": do not repeat any previous entries. :0)
Posted By: beck123 Re: Still want yours on a plate? - 04/14/10 09:46 PM
I wasn't specific enough about that, but yes: that's exactly what I meant by "make a new word."
Posted By: wofahulicodoc onwards - 04/15/10 01:50 AM
...but who can remember EVERY word we've ever used? in 1049 posts or so...

Just anagramming isn't enough. (We invoked that a while back.) Something has to be changed besides the order. Add/insert a letter and arrange; or take out a letter and arrange; or, change a letter and arrange. (The identity arrangement is not embraced but is accepted.)

Guess I did it myself without even remembering. Cannot remember
if there are rules for this 'game' or not. Thought that maybe
one had to replace a letter, or remove one each time, not just
rearrange. But in all reality, what does it matter as long
as decent change is made. Thanks Beck.

OK to both your suggestions. But as they say:

Perhaps we need to retire it after 90-some pages and

however, how long it went on. I'll be watching to
see what you do with what is there, even with the
"adjustments".

Well, I for one, am very glad you were passing by.
Stop in any time.

I suggest we put a stake in its heart and start a new one, right here.

I'll offer this to start:

Since this thread has almost a thousand posts to it already, what say we start over here with a new #1.
