The noun is fixed. Read my mind.

Is it usually green?

Are all these words to do with Elvis or not? Im losing the plot here although some may say I lost it years ago..........

Poppet,

Let's say you could buy something at the mall that had one of these in it.

Laughingcrow,

Not to my knowledge.

Gilli,

I can't speak for any of the other words, but this noun is Elvis related.

Good questions. No hints needed for now.

Is it made of metal?

Is it Trigger?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 7:08 pm

It is not metal. Metal can be used to make one. But so can a lot of things.

It is not trigger.

Somebody send out for the night nurse
Please don't stick me on the late shift

Is it Gears?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 9:15 pm

Nice guess, but no. It is not gears.

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 10:30 pm

Is it mechanical, or organic, or neither of these exclusively?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 10:33 pm

It is neither exclusively. It can be organic or mechanical.

Explore this path. It's a good one.

A hint will be forthcoming.

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 10:36 pm

Is it a stage?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Mon Aug 25, 2003 10:56 pm

No, it's not a stage.

Hint:

Even a blind man can find one.

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Tue Aug 26, 2003 9:38 pm

Another hint:

Though a noun, this word is probably most often used as a verb.

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 6:50 am

pocket?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 7:50 am

Alas, not pocket, though pocket could be a verb. This noun is used as a verb slightly more often than it is as a noun by most people.

A bouncer would use it almost exclusively as a verb, but not a musician.

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 8:20 am

i don't think i'm right, but i'm gonna guess anyway.

is it 'boot' ?

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 9:39 am

It is not "boot," but you are, in one sense, closer than anyone else has been so far.

If I were grading this, I would have to give you half credit.

Damn you and your silly games, Noise. I have more to do around my house today than I will ever get done and here I sit trying to play your little game.

Does the word have more than one meaning/spelling?

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 12:15 pm

Blind person uses one...
Bouncer uses it as a verb...
Can be metal or organic...

It might be beat...naa,

what about Cain?

As in "the bouncer cained the rowdy youth"

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 12:29 pm

Lughingcrow,
You should trust your instincts. Though, I actually said a blind person can find one.

It's Beat.

Sing with me:

We're all going on a summer holiday
Vigilante's coming out to follow me.
Heard somebody say they're out to collar me.
Anybody wanna swallow me?
It takes two to tumble. It takes two to tango.
Speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo.

On the beat, on the beat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends in the state their in.
See your friends getting under their skin.
See your friends getting taken in.

Well, if you only knew the things you do to me.
I'd do anything to confuse the enemy.
There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me.
Take it easy. I think you're bending me.

I've been a bad boy with the standard leader.
My neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva.

On the beat, on the upbeat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends walking down the street.
See your friends never quite complete.
See your friends getting under their feet.

Oh, I don't want to disease you,
but I'm no good with machinery.
Oh, I don't wanna freeze you.
Stop looking at the scenery.
I keep thinking about your mother.
Oh, I don't wanna lick them.
I don't wanna be a lover.
I just wanna be your victim.
I don't go out much at night.
I don't go out much at all.
Did you think you were the only one
who was waiting for a call

On the beat, on the upbeat.
Till a man comes along and he says,
'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ.'

See your friends treat me like a stranger.
See your friends despite all the arrangements.
See your friends Nothing here has changed.
Just the beat.

Yay!!! Does that still count as a notch on my proverbial bedpost?

The crow caws approval Noiseradio!!!

Can I do one now????

The noun is lodged in my brainbox, piggybacking on the back of the Homeshopping network....come get it fellow EC admirers...

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 1:36 pm

It counts.

Is your noun animal, vegetable, or mineral?

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 2:24 pm

i got half credit! i got half credit!

okay, so it doesn't count, but hey, i'm the only child who is easily amused. i'm gonna be silly, don't fight it, it will be more painful that way.

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 3:27 pm

You totally deserve half credit. You got half the letters right!

so lacklustre · Post by **so lacklustre** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 3:57 pm

does it rhyme with green?

laughingcrow · Post by **laughingcrow** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 4:41 pm

Noiseradio - Animal, Vegetable or Mineral...hmm, I guess it's technically none of them, (and it's not the very model of a modern major general)

So lacklustre - it doesn't rhyme with green.

I might give you some clues... think on brave nounketeers!
