This new game , CARPENTERS H-A-N-G-M-A-N, is an off shoot game of Beaner's Abbreviations game. In this game we will play the typical game of "hangman" (guessing a single letter at a time ... until you know the answer), but all the answers must have something to do with the Carpenters, either directly or indirectly. The penalty for a wrong guess will go in the following order: 1st wrong guess = head 2nd wrong guess = body 3rd wrong guess = one arm 4th wrong guess = the other arm 5th wrong guess = one leg 6th wrong guess = the other leg ... and the game is lost. Of course, I expect this group to never get 'hung', or at least not very often. The winner of the round begins and runs the next round. The first round is: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I can think of a couple of viable answers that fit the spaces perfectly.
Is there the letter "T"?

How about an "i"?

Sorry. There is no "i" in this puzzle. We now have a body to go with the head.

Is there a "C"?

No "C", but there is an "M". So we add an arm, but gain a letter!

Is it "Phil Ramone"?

No, not Phil. Time to add the other arm, but I'll give you a hint ... you are looking for a name.

I have one more guess before I have I think of another letter. Is it Alan Osmond?

No, it is not the Osmond connection. I now have to add the first leg. We are almost 'hung' here.

Since we are one wrong guess away from being 'hung' and losing the game, it would be prudent to do some quick review. T , i , M , C have already been guessed. M was correct. This round is a name. Phil Ramone & Alan Osmond have already been guessed. New information: This person is male ... and a musician. This name is vowel heavy, and surprisingly only one vowel has been guessed to date. (Check out the backs of your records and CD's) __ __ __ __ __ __ M __ __ __ Good luck everyone. I hope you get the name!

Well, I'm going to give it another shot. I figured since I'm the one that got us so close to being hung, if we're wrong, I should be the one who gets slapped but I'm hoping I'm right.
Is it Earl Dumler who played Oboe on some of their albums?

We have a WINNER!!!! Yes, it is the talented Earl Dumler.
The next round goes to you, Beaner!
