You are both close, but I think it is "My Darling Clementine" that you are thinking of!!

Not quite settled. The old guy has been gone for a few years now, but he quite likely was hitting on some chick named Clementine back in the 20's !

Nope!

A Conundrum is a small Irish drum like a tangerine, the thing with the small little symbols around the outside!! It's like a banjo without the neck and the strings so it sounds better!

I'm sorry! They're not symbols they're marachas! Those things Spanish dancers use on their fingers.



You're thinking of a banana! You hit those with a stick to make Puerto Rican food! Sometimes you smash them and fry them too! Yeah that's definitely a banana!

....I think you can peel the banana and use the skin after it's been tanned on a conundrum! I think that's where you weren't thinking right!

Does anybody know what the tabs for a conundrum looks like?

No no no no no ! A banana is that cloth thing you wear around your head when your playing a conundrum ! Its there to wipe your hands as you eat the Tangerine so you dont get juice on the stick !

No it was your dad in Orange hitting Clementine with a stick while eating a Tangerine, while listening to Tangerine Dream.

Can't believe I read all of this thread...

Don I read it too......and laughed all the way through! Laughter is good for the soul, and body, and I needed some after having such a blah day!

But I actually read is sandpaper......carborundum.....shows how good my reading skills are!

It's not a violin. A conundrum is like a tangerine! A banjo like drum with marachas on the outside!

I've always seen conundrum players wearing a banana on their head but I didn't know they had too! Why's that?


You can read now, Don?? That's coooool!

You don't HAVE to wear a banana on your head when playing the conundrums, but Carmen Miranda did.

Stop the violins. Visualize whirled peas.

I thought tangerine was something to spread on bread, but light brown in color. Shows what I know.

I also thought a conundrum was the weapon-I mean, instrument of choice of Conun the Barbarian. Glad I read this thread. I learned a lot.

I ate some Tangerine, and was listening to Tangerine Dream.

I dreamed Tangerines.
