I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "red"

Red seems to go well with October, so.

Back in the cold war, some people were seeing Reds under the furniture?

"Dont __ __ __ __ __ on Me!" caption on a U. S. revolutionary flag.

As Jim says, this concern was, like, all over the place.

". . .the football player who kept on running..."
(end of the "Rhymes with ʻhot rodʻ Thread)

The short answer is (as Howard Cosell once said, and perhaps ONLY once): "i dontʻ know."

The long answer is "Possibly Forrest Gump? There was a football scene in it, but Iʻm not sure.

//That was it. I loved that movie, and I'm not at all a movie person. I must watch it again soon.//

//"Run, Forrest!" hehee//

Argh, a reanimated corpse!

It's late, I'm tired, going to snuggle down in my sleeping place and see you in the morning.

#5 reads like a stanza from The Pisan Crambos. Decryption continues.

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed

I will have lost some blood* if you thought 'scared' was my guess at #2! I rhyme better than that. Mine was "Reds under the bed", but Cj took care of it anyway.

*What an awkward construction just to get a guess into a whinge!

Sorry about that. The first thing that came into my mind was "red scare" and I didn't look further.

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled

That's alright. I just felt that I needed to have spoken my piece?

//Awkward constructions abound!//

I'm buying the drinks for our neighborhood block party; 54 gallons of beer and 63 gallons of wine ought to do it.

the staff of life?

#14 would in fact have been a neat choice of word. I may not have the right word for #13 even though it's a pretty good match in my own opinion...

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled, said, boozehead, djed

Some critical turning-point events in history include Lewis and Clark crossing the Continental Divide (1805) and the adoption of "safe harbour" broadcasting rules in the UK (1964). (one guess, three meanings)

For #13, those numerical quantities are key; curiously, the number of gallons is different for beer and wine.

The range between radio waves and visible light?

Ignore that one, I didn't notice that it contained the original word.

New guess: to lock oneself away to practice musical skills, or the place where one does it?

When starting up a business don't forget to figure in the cost of maintaining your property.

Milton wrote "What recks it them; what need they?
They are __ __ __ __. " In that line it was an adjective of
obsolete meaning and having nothing to do with velocity;
In modern English it is the past tense of a verb which DOES have to do with velocity.

Well, here I am again, fresh from bedrooming at the piano. #13 isn't vegan, is it?

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled, said, boozehead, djed, watershed, hogshead, infrared, woodshed, overhead, bled(?)

This is where you learn the names of the editor and others who put out the paper.

I think we had this with another word. As far as pedigrees go homogeneous dogs are said to be this and horses are said to be this.

In Wharton's Ethan Frome, the heroine
and hero are badly injured in
a __ __ __ __ accident.

Spelled plainly and referring to, say, cheese, this four letter monosyllable means 'matured'. Spell it by adding an accent to one of the letters, and refer to a person, and it becomes disyllabic and the meaning is more like 'venerable'?

A sammich is hard to eat without this. And don't get too adventurous now, I likes my starch nice and plain.

#23 ah, but did it belong to Ethan's cousin Bob?

Mowgli, but not Shere Khan; the Owl, but not the Pussycat; Kanga, but not Eeyore. (first guess)

Shere Khan, but not Mowgli; the Pussycat, but not the Owl; Eeyore, but not Kanga. (second guess)

Over here #21 is known as the monkey box. Nothing on #24 and #27 yet.

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled, said, boozehead, djed, watershed, hogshead, infrared, woodshed, overhead, bled, purebred, blogging sled, bread, whitebread, bobsled

>22 Citizenjoyce: Pedigreed horses are something other than purebred, but I guess if it were your word you would have known that.

If you subject a cube to an affine transformation, the result is guaranteed to be this type of polyhedron (excluding the trivial case in which the resulting figure has zero volume). That's because coplanar, non-intersecting lines remain coplanar and non-intersecting under affine transformations.

I like "monkey box," but did you guess my word in #21? I don't see it in the list.

#31 oh my, I'm going to have visions of eigenvalues dancing in my head as I try to fall asleep tonight. You've undone all those years of therapy...

New guess: to tear or slice documents into strips to prevent their being read?

#32, sorry, I somehow forgot to add it. For #31 I found a 3-D lozenge kind of thing but I'm uncertain of whether it rhymes — I don't have the foggiest idea of where the stress lands in that one.

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled, said, boozehead, djed, watershed, hogshead, infrared, woodshed, overhead, bled, purebred, blogging sled, bread, whitebread, bobsled, masthead, thoroughbred, parallelepiped(?), shred

Could Crambo be a military term? Could you be thinking of the area that is the first objective of a military force landing on an enemy shore?

A traditional perjorative way to describe the genetic background of hillbillies?

"Now that we're divorced, are we still cousins?"

ETA: not a guess, just silliness.

"Parallelepiped" is right for #31; that can't be denied or contradicted, no matter how much it might profit someone to do so.

Crambo is not a military term but in one of its senses may sometimes involve dorky looking head armour (that's a hint, all y'all). Crambo is not necessarily a bumpkin.

Hmm, then my guesses in #27 probably aren't right either, at least not in a sense that I can see. But as a hint for #27, picture those six characters standing or walking.

If you rode one of these clever little two wheelers in and out of traffic you should wear head armor, dorky or not.

A sea turtle with powerful jaws?

What's a logger anyway?

friend to Archie et al?

Not a bad guess. That and #40 are sort of getting warm to different senses of the word.

Not: scared, tread, spread, undead, bed, bled, said, boozehead, djed, watershed, hogshead, infrared, woodshed, overhead, bled, purebred, blogging sled, bread, whitebread, bobsled, masthead, thoroughbred, parallelepiped, shred, beachhead, inbred, gainsaid, biped, quadruped, moped, loggerhead, Jughead

One of the upright partitions dividing a ship into compartments?

Some people, not myself, refer to blondes as these folk with nothing in their craniums.

Something you might call someone who puts an upside-down terra cotta plant container on their noggin while puffing away on a nice fat joint?

Plumbers get their name from this?

A spring from which Dominique Francon might drink?

I thought plumbers get their name from plumbing.

The word doesn't end in -head and isn't a compound word. It is also a word in Swedish, although there it's not capitalized.

An implement, with a trademarked name, that's used for lifting and transporting injured personnel in technical rescue (English meaning); or an implement found in kitchens (Swedish meaning)?

ʻSome jail, if he (has) __ __ __ __ ),
and a lot of jail, if he (has) gone to trial!"*

*A federal agentʻs recommendation for sentencing the anti-hero Jackie Brown in Higginsʻs The Friends of Eddie Coyle

A variant of the monosyllable __ __ __ __ is
the bi-syllable __ __ __ __ __ ed, but the latter doesnʻt rhyme very well,despite the -ed ending.

Huh, I just now realized the plumber clue while staring at this. #51 delights me that there are apparently at least two capitalized words that rhyme with "red" and are also words in Swedish, but Crambo is untrademarkable in English and entirely abstract in Swedish. I haven't figured out #51 yet, alas.

Wow, it is surprising that there are two words fitting that set of constraints. #51 is a device I've used in both firefighter and military training, and given its meaning in Swedish, perhaps the brand name was coined because the device "scoops" up injured personnel.

duh, I should have thought of that sooner. I'm not doing well with this round, am I... I bet you're all going to gather in 2060 or something to picket my funeral.

I wouldn't ordinarily ask this, but since you said it's capitalized... Wilma's husband?

Not knowing any Swedish, I'm going to guess a used automobile tire that has been remolded. I think in my early married years we used to buy these all the time, and every time we went on a trip, we had a blow out.

Not: retread
Yes: Fred

Sorry about the boring round and the bad clues. It's over to Jim53...

#24 was aged/agèd.

Peace to you as well, darsu, at least that's what Google tells me it means in Swedish. And to all of us, for that matter ;-)

New game here.
