D --> C

ACADIAN

ARCADIAN

Never assume anything. I just now realized that Arthur Sullivan's Strephon (Iolanthe), an "Arcadian shepherd," had a Classical origin.

Moving right along (but not too far) -

ARCADIAN

R-->N

CANADIAN

I > O

ANACONDA

I cant find anything......though I have enjoyed an evening of reading about Iolanthe and Arcadian shepherds.

Google has something to say about everything

This one�s about Arcadia, from the sixteenth century.

And this one seems to be a previous incarnation of Strephon the Arcadian shepherd, done by Gilbert & Someoneelse ten years before Iolanthe.

"Strephon" means "lover"? Or was I just skimming too fast?

From Iolanthe -

STREPHON: A shepherd I -
ALL: A shepherd he!
S. Of Arcady -
ALL: Of Arcadee!
S. Betrothed are we!
ALL: Betrothed are they -
S. And mean to be -
ALL: Espoused to-day!

.....as did I.
But we may have hit another impasse.

ANACONDA

A-->E

CANONADE - a noisy unceasing bombardment with repetitive church music (typically by Pachelbel)

(see rant, and then rantidote )

Maybe that should be "They shall beat their swords into refreshing drinks"?

Hmm.

Some coronary artery stents are impregnated with growth inhibitors.
Others are bare metal; they are UNCOATED.

RENDEZVOUS

Is that a true word Wofa?

Well, it's capitalized, but that's the way it's artsy !

But I haven't a clue as to its ORIGIN.

If only I could live in the isles where Gaugin painted.

Sure it is. Don't gossip columnists make a living out of reporting the marryings and divorcings and various other on-carryings of the rich and famous?

And if you add an E, you may yet find yourself DISCOVERING new continuations.

If I'm not mistaken, she was the landlady who let Clayton, Jackson, and Durante stay in her boardinghouse for months on end when they were having trouble making payments, and she didn't hound them (too much) for the rent. Of the three, Durante was the one who eventually made it big, and he kept a slot on his show for Eddie(?) Jackson (Clayton was gone by then) so he could get him a paycheck once a year, anyway...and he never forgot to acknowledge Mrs. Calabash, even after she became the late Mrs. Calabash.

Unless of course it's all an Urban Myth, because it makes a good story.

Now where were we? UNTROD, was it?

fishing.

Edited the link to shorten it, by request of Candy (whom I assume had Luke's permission); and in any case hoping Luke won't mind since I am not changing anything he said.

The thread, having exceeded 500 posts, may have become burdensome for folks who have not broadband but dial-up access (yes, Virginia, there are still Modems out there) and so I'm going to continue it on Anagrams V.

(As soon as I construct it.)

Back soon.

Maybe here ?

yes, there .

Also, it's gotten very w---i---d---e. Luke, can you maybe shorten that link of yours somehow? If no other way, then by giving the destination instead of the Google search path that got you there?

here there, off I go.....

Good idea, Wofa...
Candy showed me once how to abbreviate it, but I don't
remember how. Not very good with computers, and
when I don't do things regularly I have the tendency
to forget easily.

Glad for Anagrams V

I am a total klutz when it comes to computers, and no I
don't mind Jackie. I tried to delete it, but it would
not delete, nor edit. I know wofa said to do something
to it, but not being computer savvy I could not show
a link based on what he said, because I do not know how
to do what he said. I will just not post links.

First--don't use the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the page--this used to work for me when I'd hit Switch to Full Reply Screen, but now all I get is a completely white page with nothing on it at all. So--

1.) Copy (Ctrl + C) the address of the link you want to post.

2.) Hit the Reply button at the bottom of the post.

3.) In the bar above the text-typing box, click on the second-from-the-left icon--the thing that resembles a globe. This will bring up a tiny Script Prompt box*.

4.) Paste (Ctrl + V) the address into the little bar that will have http:// in it--you won't have to get rid of that first, I don't think.

5.) Click OK. The next part is what took me a long time and many instructions from Jo to get, although you can see that all I had to do was read the darned thing:

6.) The little white bar will go blank--not to worry, it has saved your URL. Into this, type some appropriate word(s)--the instructions on the box itself tell you to enter the title of the web page you're linking to.

7.) Click OK again. The link will appear in your text box where you left your cursor. In this box you will see a bunch of "extra" stuff--it will not show in your post: just your title word(s) will.

It is a good idea to Preview: this allows you to click on your title word and see if your linked page will come up or not.

If you need more details, holler.

*My computer's security won't let me simply put in a link or an image without opening this yellow bar asking me if I'm sure I want to do it. I just click on it then click the yes option.
