Hope this is not stretching it but when I think of a candle I think of no one holding a candle to Karen I also think of Karen as the Candle with the eternal flame that cannot be extinguished and never burns out.
I am going to have a trio of separate words in this game but do them one at a time this word is RED

It makes me think of a 1981 photo of Karen, but, in this forum, we can't insert a pic unless we have a *url* with it..., so I can't show it , but, it is a well known one...
..., anyway, *socks* also makes me think of a bizarre adventure where the Carpenters road manager(I won't tell his name 'cause it's part of my next *word quest*) had to take of his shoes and *socks* off and then carry Karen piggy-back, in the mud, to get on an island for some early 1972 TV special(London Bridge Special with Tom Jones).

I must admit I am not enough of a Carpenters buff to know the names of their road crew but when I think of sugar I think of sweet. Sweet has been used to describe Carpenters music and I suppose is an apt description but when I think of sweet=sugar I think of Karen herself a sweet person and a sweet singer. <+
My word is Black

Hi Guys... HMMM...office reminds me of MR GUDER...Walk in at 9 and roll out the door at 5...you reflect the company image...
also, OFFICE reminds of the needlepoint Karen gave to her therapist Steven Levenkron, "You win-I gain", which he kept in his office.

PS. Next word...DANGLING...(from a SONG!!!)

Hey I'm up for this one. Actually, sex makes me think of how Richard and others thought a lot of Karen's solo songs were too sexy or didn't fit the "Carpenters" standard, but first of all, it was Karen who was doing the singing and Richard wasn't a part of this one. Also, when you hear just a tad of what is out there on the market and what they get awards for even drives me nuts!!!! I think the songs Karen sang were great and if they sounded sexy, good! That's what they were meant to do;
Next word: HAY

Post by cam83 on Oct 12, 2004 16:04:13 GMT -5
Hay reminds me of the song that John Denver and Richard Carpenter dueted on their First Tv Special in 1976, where a piece of hay is in Richard's mouth as they are singing...something about Sugar Daddy, and John's scythe(is that the word?) almost hits Richard.
Next word...WEEPING(from a Carpenters song!!)

Weeping brings to mind one of my favorite Carp songs Hurting Each Other and the line "Close than the leaves On a weepin' willow, baby, we are" Good choice I love that song!
BTW Rolland that is exactly what I thought of when Rick mentioned Clapping even before you posted your reply I thought I was the only one who liked it when Karen did that.
My word is YELLOW

Going back to the word CLAP, it's interesting how we each have different interpretations. I thought of the song "sweet Sweet Smile" because part of the drum beat sounds like clapping. For the word YELLOW, I think of the picture of K&R on the back of the "Horizon" album, karen is wearing a yellow sweater and she looks absolutely beautiful. I remember staring at that picture many times back in 1975. Next word: SUPREME

Again, Rick..., I have this pic, you're talking about, laminated and on my wall.
..., the one with the *New York Taxi* style shirt.
*Supreme*..., hummm..., it makes me think of ice cream..., then on Paul Williams who said that people were telling him that the Carpenters were like vanilla and, then, he said : what a great flavor vanilla is.

It's when I read comments like this that I would like to have you all, Carpenters friends, in my living room to watch those great TV tapes I have.
Wish you were still in Lorraine, enigma. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]
