11 Aug 06 - 12:00 PM (#1807281) Subject: RE: the riddle game From: GUEST, Topsie [sorry for the delay, I forgot I'd have to do one if I won] My first is in happy, but not in content. My second's in Easter, but not found in Lent. My third is in merry and also in drunk. My fourth is in pastor but isn't in monk. And if you still haven't found where I'm at, You'll find me in sharp but I'm not found in flat. |

12 Aug 06 - 06:08 AM (#1807983) Subject: RE: the riddle game From: Paul Burke It's got to be more on-topic than Blitherscrum, I always thought riddles were a folky form as much as skipping rhymes. But who cares? You ain't gonna get it, so the answer is DISCOVERY (Disc Over Y). For Brits and Antipodeans, it was Captain Cook's ship, for Americans perhaps the space ship. I almost made it harder by writing the last line as "Cook's vessel you will know", but that would have been culturally unfair. Here's a suggestion. When you put in an answer you THINK is right, start a new riddle, and we can run several in parallel. Refer to them by the first few words, so this is The Young Man: The young man came over to the corner where he knew she stood. He stepped up, eager and agile, lifted his tunic with hard hands, thrust through her girdle something stiff, worked on the standing one his will. Both swayed and shook. The young man hurried, was sometimes handy, served well, but always tired sooner than she, weary of the work. Under her girdle began to grow a hero's reward for laying on dough. |
