Crambo

[Jon]

Crambo is played by one player thinking of a word and telling the others what it rhymes with, the others not naming the actual word they guess but its meaning. Thus one says "I know a word that rhymes with bird." A second asks "Is it ridiculous?" "No, it is not absurd." "Is it a part of speech?" "No, it is not a word." This proceeds until the right word is guessed.




I know a word that rhymes with defile.

[Gaberax]

Is it smile? :)

[razz]

is it a long distance?

[gsvec]

Is it a heap of something?

[razz]

is it the class of which a lizard is in?
or perhaps a specific, large species of said class?

[gsvec]

Or perhaps biding my time?

[obscurejude]

Does it look cute in a onesy?

[gsvec]

Or prey on young children? :angry:

ETA: WTF is a onesy? :lol:

[razz]

a court case?
stomach fluids?
to archive?
to cause restlessness?
a mahjong piece?

[razz]

maybe i should save some words for other people? :lol: :evil:

[obscurejude]

ETA: WTF is a onesy? :lol:

You know, those things that babies wear that are one piece. Its an obscure House reference that I thought Jon might get.

[gsvec]

Kinda what I thought it might be, but I must be having brain issues since I can't think of the word you're going for that rhymes with defile. :lol:

Another guess for Jon - could it be looking at you from the side?

[razz]

a small island?
a row in a market?

[Sledgeham]

is it, perhaps, light-footed, and quick?

[Jon]

Or perhaps biding my time?


Ummm.... hard to rhyme all of those answers without leading you all astray so mabe from here out the riddlemaster picks one or two questions to answer.

Hey Jude. I got the HOUSE referencs and had THAT VERY episode in the DVD player...vert 19!

Now to my response. I chose to respond to Gretchen.



Not bidding time, you don't have to be a Jew to rhyme.

[obscurejude]

Or perhaps biding my time?



Hey Jude. I got the HOUSE referencs and had THAT VERY episode in the DVD player...vert 19!


Very cool and very eventual my friend. :cool:

[Jon]

Wait...I said HEY JUDE.

Funny...Locke and I were on youtube checking out back masking in music. It's very entertaining, but The Beatles are a huge target for back masking at Youtube. Most of it is bull, but fun to laugh at.

[obscurejude]

I'm sorry, i guess you didn't realize that i was Paul McCartney's avatar. Don't believe all the shit that people come up with surrounding "yesterday" or "helter skelter."

[Jon]

I'm sorry, i guess you didn't realize that i was Paul McCartney's avatar. Don't believe all the shit that people come up with surrounding "yesterday" or "helter skelter."

But yer dead Paul!

Ringo clearly says so at the end of I'm so tired.


"Paul is a dead man. Miss him, miss him, miss him!"

[obscurejude]

The album cover to Abbey Road had a lot of people asking questions. You didn't see me at the superbowl a couple of years ago? I was very close to revealing my junk after what happened to Janet Jackson, but I chickened out.

[gsvec]

Or perhaps biding my time?

Umm . . . so then you just gave the answer, right? Gentile? I'm lost here. :panic:

No... you made the word Gentile all on your own and it happens to be correct.

Your turn!

[Jon]

is it, perhaps, light-footed, and quick?


new to these parts?

Goo to have you!

[Jon]

Good God I have killed Crambo young! Infanticide!

[razz]

I don't think Gretchen was online yesterday.

[Jon]

With a new game, I try to make it easy.

[gsvec]

Yep - I've been away! Sorry if it sorta killed the thread, but here goes!

I know a word that rhymes with fox.

[razz]

is a cardboard container?
is it the plural of a stone?

[gsvec]

No, it's not a box or rocks!

[razz]

is it foot undergarments?

[gsvec]

Yes, it's socks! :D

You're up!

[razz]

:rock:

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with rain

[gsvec]

Does it go "choo choo"?
Do I think with it?

[obscurejude]

Is it a pain?

[gsvec]

Is it a tiny bit - like salt or sand?

[razz]

it is not a brain
or a pain
or a train
definitely not Blaine.
nor is it a grain.

omfg i sound like Doctor Seuss

[gsvec]

You mean you aren't Dr. Suess! :scared:

Is it a major thing? Am I losing it an going nuts? Or maybe only thinking of myself?

[razz]

um...
it's not insane,
and i don't know what the other two are
*confused*

[gsvec]

Main and vain. :lol: But I guess that means that neither is correct!!

[razz]

both no. :P

[gsvec]

The chorus of a song?

[razz]

aye, refrain it is!
:thumbsup:
feather be yours!

[gsvec]

Cool! :rock:

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with moan.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Can I get one at a bank?
Is it like an old hag?
Did Bell invent it?

[razz]

is it like a pitch?
is it a rock?
or perhaps part of our skeletal system?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it a woeful sigh?

[gsvec]

Not a loan nor a crone, not a tone, stone or bone. But you're right, my friend, it's a Bell telephone!

And omg, I DO feel like Dr. Suess! :lol:

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with meal.

[razz]

Does it pertain to our sense of touch?
is it a greenish color?
is it what a thief does?
or what you do with the rind of an orange?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

You cannot steal,peel or feel this thing that rhymes with meal that isnt teal.

[gsvec]

Blood as it thickens? Gameshow with Howie Mandel? Does a pig do it?

[razz]

does it exist?
is it a type of cow meat?
or a verb that you would describe the action of dropping to your knees?
or to mend an injury?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

It doesnt heal, squeal, congeal or kneel. But that shouldn't surprise you, cause it isn't real. And it isn't veal, so i'm sorry sirs but we cannot make a deal.

[gsvec]

Maybe expose it?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Sorry, but I cannot reveal.

[gsvec]

Hide it, perhaps?

[gsvec]

A round thing with spokes? Lock it up with a kiss?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Were it a wheel, I could not conceal, but it isnt, so the deal I still cannot seal.

[gsvec]

Might it simply be a snake-like creature? Or being very excited?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Ah indeed, he answers with zeal.

[gsvec]

Guess I should've started with the END of the alphabet, eh? :lol:

Ok, new one: I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with head.

[razz]

does it involve necrosis?
or sleeping?
is it the past tense concerning speech?
or a bloody color?
is it a baked grain?
or what you sew with?
to be in front of?
or to do something that you weren't originally going to do?

[gsvec]

Not dead, bed, said, red, bread, thread, ahead, or instead! :lol:

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Would it, Could it be an offspring between cousins?
Or possible the state of having eaten?
Could be the spritual binding between to lovers?
Or maybe a poisonous metal once used in paint?

[gsvec]

Not fed or lead, and I can't figure out your other two, but my guess is that they're not correct either. :(

ETA: I believe your spiritual binding = wed, which alas is also not it.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Offspring between cousins refers to a shallow gene pool so to speak.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it a feeling of impending doom?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Or what happened after a slicing of the skin?

[gsvec]

Is it a feeling of impending doom?
Yes, I dread it! :D Feather's yours!

And I'm still not sure about the gene pool one - what was your word there?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Inbred was the offspring between cousins.


Now,
I am thinking of a word that rhymes with corn.

[gsvec]

Dirty books of naked people? :evil:

[Gaberax]

Are you sad because you've been abandoned?
Is it something done to a piece of paper?
Maybe it's a haircut?

[gsvec]

Or when you come into the world?
One of those prickly things on a rose?
Something you might beep?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

It isnt Porn,
Nor Torn or Shorn, and not Forlorn
It wasnt Born, It hasnt thorns,
and no, its not a horn.

[Jon]

Are you sad at the loss of a loved one?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I do not mourn.

[Jon]

Are you derisive or contemptuous action or speech?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

There is no need to scorn

[dedagain]

sorry to just jump in... i'm new to the forums, hopefully i understand the idea of the game though...

are you a notice to take heed?
or the state of a tattered clothing?

[razz]

to weep over the dead?
or an appendage atop a bovine's head?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

It isnt warn or worn,
Nor is it mourn or horn

[Jon]

are you clothed in fancy dress
while your life is a mess?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Ahah Jon, I am indeed adorned

[Jon]

I am thinking of a word that rhymes with bill.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it not fiction?
Is it abstract and dreamlike?
Can I take case 19, Howie?

[Jon]

It is not real (actually it is but...)

It is not surreal, nor is it a deal.

Post in haste,

Your effort you waste.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it a very excited state?
Maybe beans and cornbread?
Or a snooty slice of gormet beef?

[Brice]

is it indicative of an inheritance?

[Jon]

It is none of the above.
consider your answers disposed of.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

The talus of the foot?
A sometimes electrified, underwater, cousin of the snake?
Can I cook burgers and dogs on it?

[Jon]

Neither heel nor eel (eel doesn't rhyme with "bill") nor grill, don't be so obtuse.

Stop giving wrong answers, as I cannot store ALL of your refuse!

[gsvec]

Perhaps kitchen waste or garbage?

[Jon]

You are very close to sealing the deal

But, alas, "kitchen waste or garbage" do not rhyme with "bill."

[gsvec]

It does in my book (aka "swill") - or perhaps you're looking for a different definition?? :lol:

[Ryan]

Is it perhaps where you grind your grain or pepper?
Or where you trim your wood?

[Ryan]

Was this where Jack fell down and did break his noodle?

[Ryan]

Will I do this with my heart for my Fathers sake?
Do I gain this after doing it for a long time?
Do I eat this to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
Do I pluck it, hone the tip and dip it in ink? or Fire it from a bow?
Do I grow it in my garden and flavour my favorite salmon dish with it?
Will I promise not to cry if I do it to my milk?

[Jon]

It does in my book (aka "swill") - or perhaps you're looking for a different definition?? :lol:


I had another noun in mind
But I resolved to be kind
While I was seeking "landfill"
I'll take "swill."

[gsvec]

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with give.

[SigTauGimp]

Is it a crudely fashioned stabbing instrument?

[gsvec]

Nope - not a shiv!

[Ryan]

Would I use it to strain Noodles?
If I escaped death in a near miss would I have accomplished this?
Is the food I buy at the store laced it to keep it fresh and tasty?
If I sat and thought long enough would I get the answer?

[gsvec]

None so far are right, I think.
Just sit back and have a drink!

[Ryan]

Is it the WHY of Colonel Mustard killed Ms. Peacock in the Kitchen with the Candlestick?
Do you think when he killed Ms Peacock he'd experience the trauma over and over again?

[gsvec]

Unfortunately not a right answer, my friend.
Start thinking green - this will come to an end!

[Ryan]

Just sit back and have a drink!
&
Start thinking green
.....:orely:
alas my brain holds no other word that may rhyme with Give.
Must find a way to upgrade Brain RAM:borg:

[gsvec]

The colors of Christmas might help a tad.
Your brain RAM probably isn't so bad!

[Ryan]

Alas, I thought of it last nite and grew a smile on my face as I thought of all the holidays I'd spend with family around the house feeling very joyous and happy.

It is these times of year I feel this way and get myself in the spirit of the occasion:couple:

[gsvec]

:orely: Was there a guess in there somewhere, Ryan? :lol:

[Gaberax]

Are you stuffed with a pimento and swimming in a martini?

[Jon]

Damn! I didn't think of that Gabe!

[Gaberax]

In the interest of keeping the game going, I am assuming I am right.

I am thinking of a word that rhymes with Fear.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Are you frozen in the headlights of an oncoming car?
Or possibly a beverage you'd find at a bar?
Maybe an appendage on the side of your head?
Or the backside of an animal, like a baboon's, colored red?

[Gaberax]

Are you frozen in the headlights of an oncoming car?
Or possibly a beverage you'd find at a bar?

Or the backside of an animal, like a baboon's, colored red?

Not deer or beer or ear or rear: to add to your frustration
Think instead about a place, a region, a location.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

A place one could sit and peacably fish?

[Gaberax]

A place one could sit and peacably fish?

A excellent answer, and surely doable
But the answer I seek has two syllable.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Former Democratic Republic of the Congo, I wish?

[Gaberax]

Former Democratic Republic of the Congo, I wish?

Another fine guess, full of grace, full of poise
But my answer has lawlessness, injuns and cowboys.

[gsvec]

Are you stuffed with a pimento and swimming in a martini?
You say true! :rock:

[mystima]

(star trek)is it space the final place they go

[Gaberax]

(star trek)is it space the final place they go

An admirable guess, oh, friendly child.
But the answer has 2 syllables and the place is WILD.

[gsvec]

(star trek)is it space the final place they go

An admirable guess, oh, friendly child.
But the answer has 2 syllables and the place is WILD.
And here I thought myst was correct! Since it's not frontier, I'll need to reflect . . .

I cry your pardon, Mystima and gsvec!
Mystima was correct with FRONTIER (in honor of my truck!) I apologize. :doh:

P.S. I have pm'd Mystima with my apology and invitation to submit the next word. ***wonders off to sit in the corner***

[mystima]

thank you kind sir...

i am thinking of a word that rhymes with Fanta

[Jon]

thank you kind sir...

i am thinking of a word that rhymes with Fanta


Ummm. is "fanta" a word?

[gsvec]

The jolly man who delivers gifts on December 25th?

[mystima]

HO HO HO you are right it is Santa

[gsvec]

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e73/gsvec/Misc%20Holiday/ninjasanta.gif

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with fret.

[mystima]

is it something that you wager while playing poker
or something that you have more than one of
or something that a Lear would build

[gsvec]

Not a bet or set or jet - it's a PAIN when you get it wet!

[mystima]

is it something that you smoke

[gsvec]

A cigarette? No, but you will learn that if you drop it, it'll burn!

[mystima]

something used in a barbecue

[Ryan]

:orely: Was there a guess in there somewhere, Ryan? :lol:

I was thinking Festive but Olive works better with the other clues.

[gsvec]

something used in a barbecue

Not a briquette (sp?), but you'll get there yet!

[Ryan]

is it an 'old fashioned' floppy data storage device

[gsvec]

Diskette it's not, but was a good thought!

[Ryan]

Is it my furry little companion?

[gsvec]

Though not a pet, it's partially right. Two syllables will help you (might?).

Ok, my rhyming sucks today. :lol:

[Jon]

Is it an audio medium primarily in use between the 8-track and the CD?

JUST TELL ME!

[gsvec]

No, it's not a cassette, my friend. If you think of the floor, my rhyming can end!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

lovely green and gold shag?

[gsvec]

Give the man a cupie doll! Carpet it is - shag and all!!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

*tosses up feather*

[Jon]

I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "butter."

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it a club for the strokes when one gets to the green?
Or a place for the mind of a perverted teen?

[Gaberax]

Is it the movement of butterfly wings, as my first choice?
Or perhaps a stammer in the rhythm of one's voice ?

[Jon]

Niether gutter, studder, putter nor flutter.
Think of Harry Carey's line
When a great Cubs play made it thorugh his Budweiser drenched mind.

[Ryan]

is it used to steer a boat?

[Jon]

No rutter
Harry is not a boatsman

More like a cowhand

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

To speak sounds or words,
Or to mumble them.

[Jon]

No not mutter

You'll just have to sit there and churn...butter.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Is it a cows teat?

[Jon]

Aye that it is!

Utterly good show CHILDE..
Your turn!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Actually my last clue was meant to encompass both utter and mutter, but I found it hard to put both in one post.


I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with line.

[Ryan]

Would it be considered one by breaking the law?

[Gaberax]

Would it be one laid back in repose?
or an elegant eating experience, do you suppose?

[Jon]

Would it be lying on one's back, face up? Not a tree (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/supine)
Or a beer cup?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Not supine or a stein. Nor recline or dine.
Im sorry Ryan, I dont know what word you speak of, all I can think of is crime, which doesnt rhyme.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Or possibly breaking the law could lead to a fine, but thats not it either.

[Ryan]

Not supine or a stein. Nor recline or dine.
Im sorry Ryan, I dont know what word you speak of, all I can think of is crime, which doesnt rhyme.

My bad, when I thought of it in my head
Crime did rhyme with line at the time

[Jon]

Is it a place of religious pilgrimage and veneration for a deity ?
or is this what I call everything that belongs to me?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

It is not a shrine, and it isnt mine.

[Jon]

Is it , from fresh and salt waters made?
or is it twised and looped together like hair in a braid?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Not brine or twine.

4 for dinner, 3 for salad, 2 for shrimp

[Jon]

Is it the fruit of the vine?
or the beast pearls are tossed to when one is malign

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

No wine for swine.

Yet at the dinnertable......
