Hopefully this will be a fun Carpenters game. I will choose a word. Somebody has to answer how that word relates to the Carpenters. It could be a lyric in a song, maybe an article of clothing worn by K&R, possibly something mentioned in a newspaper/magazine/book, song/album title, anything relating to Carpenters. The first person to come up with an answer will continue the game by choosing another word.
***of course there most likely will be more than word answer for each word, that's why the first one to come up with answer will continue the game.
Have fun!!!
My word is:
STAR

Great topic idea Rick I like it!
I do not know if this counts but when I see the word star I think of Karen. She sang Superstar one of her finest vocal performances. Countless articles mention Karen as the star of the Carpenters duo. From day one Karen had star written all over her and now she is up amoung the stars. In every way Karen=star whether she want to be a star or not or whether her family wanted her to be a star it was her destiny and nothing could stop her from being a star.
My word is an easy one: Drummer

The word drummer makes me always think of the phrase Karen used that she like to be thought of as drummer who sings and not a singer who plays the drums.
My word is "HEART"

HEART, this is a good one Beaner. We can go in several different directions. I will go with the "A Song For You" album cover which had a big huge heart on it and would have made a wonderful valentines day card.
Cam, beat me to it.
So I will anwer to his word MARRIED.
"We've Only Just Begun" is a song many people who married in the 70's call their song and have used it in their wedding.
Next word:
EAR

Ear; I'll use this word and say that Richard had an EAR for finding good songs, especially one like We've Only Just Begun that he got from watching a bank commercial.

Oops, forgot the next word; it's GRASS.

OK now this is stretching it. Grass is green and so are Richard's eyes (especially on the if i were a carpenter photo page). I told you it was stretching it.
Anyway, if you'll let me get away with that, the next word is luck.
And good luck!

Okay Rob, for LUCK of course "We've Only Just Begun" comes to mind "a kiss for luck".
But as for Beaner's GRASS, I have another answer. When I hear the word GRASS, I think of the picture sleeve for the single "Sing", which shows K&R walking in a park across the grass.
Next word:
JOIN

When I think of the Carpenters and the word park I think of the ultimate theme park Disneyland. I think of the Please Mr Postman video. Karen loved Disneyland and especially Mickey Mouse and it showed in this video.
My word of the day is Princess

Hi Enigma! Right on target with me! You thought exactly like me only from Theme PARK, I went to Disney World cause that's where I've been, but from Disney World I immediately thought of Karen and her love of Mickey Mouse too.

When I think of the Carpenters and the word park I think of the ultimate theme park Disneyland. I think of the Please Mr Postman video. Karen loved Disneyland and especially Mickey Mouse and it showed in this video. My word of the day is Princess In my mind I have given Karen a few different nicknames or terms that I feel relate to her such as; Voice Of An Angel - which is probably the most common term used with Karen. Another I call her is the Princess Of Pop. She truly deserves the title and belongs with Elvis - the King, Aretha Franklin - the Queen of Soul, James Brown - the Godfather of Soul and and there are others just can't think of them right now. the next word is: MIRROR

Hi Cam, do you have a word to carry on the game?

Post by Rick Henry on Oct 4, 2004 18:30:26 GMT -5
Okay here's a new rule to the game. If the person who answers the word clue forgets to post a new word, than the first person to notice there is not a new word gets to choose a new word. In this case Beaner chooses the new word. So we wait on Beaner now.
