This is a game sort of like This or That. Answer the riddle given by the person above, and then provide your own riddle for the next person to answer. If it helps you get in the mood, pretend you are in a dark cave, separated from your companions, and about to be eaten by your riddling partner. Note: "What do I have in my pocketsessss" (or purse, or pants, or coffee mug, or lunch box) are not acceptable riddles. I'll start us off with a relatively easy one... WHO AM I? * I have fallen & I can’t get up. * Songs have been sung about me by those who gather no moss. * Death & sin live at my home. * My dwelling is complete pandemonium. * I am the first rebel |

Errr... Um... could it be Lucifer aka Satan aka The Devil aka Prince of Darkness aka The Beast? Who Am I? * Overacheiver * Middle Child * Love cartoons, schoolwork, and horses * Touch of jaundice and persistant bad hair |

Lisa Simpson. I am taken from a mine, enclosed in a wooden case from which I am never released, and am used by most children. What am I? |

Graphite. And it is so removed, if only in small amounts at a time! Who Am I? I am a highly active, hairless rodent with no fear of cats. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 10:54 AM |
Hmmm.... did you mean hairless, or tailless? |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 27 2004, 11:27 AM |
Hairless. In rarer circumstances, tailless too. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 11:38 AM |
Oh, hell.... I'm pretty sure you're NOT talking about hairless cavies or newborn rats.... (retracting my stab in the dark for another stab in the dark) I was thinking Reepicheep b/c of the "not afraid of cats" thing, but I'm almost certain he is described as having brown fur. so.... Emm Eye See??? I am long I roar when I move I breathe steam What am I? |

A Steam-engine freight train. ------------ A mad king made me Another used me, for the Gods all bow to me They sing my music They wield my sword I am the original Lord of the Ring Who am I? -Lokmer |

I presume the answer to Lokmer's riddle is "Wagner." I understand my little riddle is causing consternation. Here's a re-stating that should shed a little light.... I travel all day, but get virtually nowhere. I blink with one red eye I do a lot of surfing while hanging out at my pad. Hairless, I must surely be the one rodent to fear no cat. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 01:06 PM |
A computer mouse???? |
Posted by: Lokmer Oct 27 2004, 01:19 PM |
Yes, it was Wagner. As the last person to answer correctly on the first try, I think it's your turn again, daneel -Lokmer |

//playing out of turn// I am big I am getting bigger There is nothing outside of me I am gassy What am I? |

atom A teacher and miracle worker, Said to be born in late December, Mother a virgin, Had twelve apprentices, Died and was reborn, Persia. |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 27 2004, 02:31 PM |
Well, as long as we're throwing softballs, Jesus. What's Persia got to do w/ it, though? ---------- From me wafts a perfume, Yet I am bitter I move among nobility and captains, I'd as happily scald as sooth: avoid me 'til I cool down. |
Posted by: Lokmer Oct 27 2004, 02:38 PM | ||||
Actually, it's Mithra. However, to be accurate, Mithra was not born of a virgin woman, but of a virgin goddess (the earth - in a cave - out of a rock). Also, he taught in the temple at 12, but whether he had 12 labors or 12 disciples depends on whether you're talking the Roman version(which was syncretized with Pythagoras - which has disciples) or the Persian verison (which had the 12 labors). -----------------
your riddle has got me stumped - I'll have to go away and think for a bit. -Lokmer |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 03:01 PM |
Lokmer is correct on my riddle. Mithras is a Persian dying/rising god-man myth dating from around 1400 BC. I don't believe that it is the oldest - the Egyptian ones date much further back. Hmmmm..... Fragrant, bitter, captains, scald and soothe? Earl Grey Tea? -------------------------------------------------------------- Was once a symbol of fertility and sexuality Now token of innocence Color is always pure white, but also always yellow & red The fragrance is its name The fragrance is a color. What is it? |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 03:54 PM |
Edited the above because it was too obscure... hopefully this makes more sense (and, yes it is revenge for the mouse, daneel. ) |

Kitty, when I read this, I was thinking of an egotistical fart. I have nothing to contribute to this thread. This just isn't my thing. Carry on. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 27 2004, 09:52 PM | ||||
Egotistical fart. LOL! Have I ever told you, Fwee, that you are one of my very favoritest threadjackers? |
Posted by: Fweethawt Oct 28 2004, 12:56 AM |
Nope. Not until now.... |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 28 2004, 08:17 AM |
I think the answer to Kitty's riddle is "Orange" or "Orange Blossom." I haven't time to compose a stumper, so here's a low-ball: Speedy, You're blind without me. Did you see me wave? No? Well, I am a little particular. Matthew 6:23 |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 28 2004, 09:41 AM |
Asimov's robot is correct, it was an orange blossom. However, I am afraid geck's low-ball is stumping me this morning, and all I can come up with is "Speedy Gonzales gets Lasik surgery from God." Which, as I'm sure you all will agree, makes absolutely ZERO sense. So, I'll just leave that riddle for someone else... ETA- Thanks for adding the 3rd and 4th line *after* I abdicated! //growls// |

Coney Island --------------------- Some call me sweet cane, avoiding my true uses For because of me did men sail the seas And weave fine linnens Speak in the tongue of angels And see the face of God. I open the door and let the music in And my color brightens the world ------------ -Lokmer |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 28 2004, 09:09 PM |
Marijuana ------------------------------------- I am commonly called a "rose" Though in jest, and quite inaccurately. I am said to bring strength, good luck, and courage. I am loved throughout the world for my good taste. (Except, perhaps, in certain Romanian villages) What am I? |
Posted by: Fweethawt Oct 29 2004, 01:32 AM |
Is the answer, tea? I really don't know... I'm just guessin'. Okay,,, here's my riddle.... Beat me with a stick, and I'll love you for life. Smack me with your dick, and I'll make you my wife. Eat me like a taco, and I'll fly like a dove. Invite your buddy Paco, so all six of us can make love. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 29 2004, 06:59 AM |
Tea is *not* the correct answer. And... I have no idea where to start with Fwee's riddle.... |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 29 2004, 01:34 PM |
The answer to Kitty's riddle is "Garlic." Thanks for the "Romanian Villiages" clue. Hey, since I got that one right, I get to make a new one. Sorry, Fwee - no clue on yours anyway! I'm just a big kid Who got stranded at an airport, Survived a plane crash, Chased a thief all over the world, Rescued (some of) my men, Struggled with insomnia, And made friends with a space man. |

The Sun. ---------- Kings posses me Despots misuse me Many pursue me, Illuminating many, Shocking those ungrounded in my nature, I corrupt all that I touch (sorry doubleDee - we crashed into eachother!) |
Posted by: DoubleDee Oct 29 2004, 02:45 PM |
Daneelolivaw, thats ok. I had to change a dirty diaper. I will save my riddle for next time. |

Is it gold? I sit at a desk all day long I'm a fan of metal I have teeth yet no stomach What am I? |
Posted by: Lokmer Oct 29 2004, 03:14 PM |
A staple remover ------------------- Forget Moses - I know what it takes to make mountains of water To sand clean the craggy face of the old man in the sea Like a fist around a lemon I know what heats the spas of the north And moves mountains And buries cities And keeps hot the fires of hell I know what it is that does these things.... Do you? --------- -Lokmer |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 29 2004, 03:19 PM |
The answer to my riddle is not Gold. It is, I will warn you, a bit of a double-entendre. |

Daneel - Electricity, right? -Lokmer |
Posted by: daneelolivaw Oct 29 2004, 03:40 PM |

For those of you who wacked your pwitty wittle bwains over this one, you would probably like to know that I didn't have an answer in mind while I was typing that up..... I just wanted to see what would happen. Okay, I'm done threadjackin' here. Carry on. |
Posted by: Lanakila Oct 29 2004, 09:16 PM |
An easy one for those of us who aren't as good at this: Insomnia is my way I come from a place in Europe But I do not reflect during my long nights My thirst for knowlege is miniscule Next to my hunger for hemoglobin The continent of my birth has been racked by wars. Who am I? |

I think you got it.... DANG!! It looks easy NOW!!! I couldn't figure it out. |
Posted by: Fweethawt Oct 29 2004, 10:36 PM |
Alright, here's a cool one. I bring you much amusement, with the flick of my switch. When stared at too long, some can't help but twitch. I can not do anything, without the power of your hands. If you let me run too long, I cause discolored bands. What am I? |
Posted by: Lanakila Oct 29 2004, 11:50 PM |
Alley got it right. Dracula it was. |

Posted by: Loren Oct 30 2004, 08:55 AM | ||||
This one is just for Fwee. I'm taller than my four neighbors, especially when they bow while I stand. Like Ronald Reagan, I'm called the great communicator. When I make my stand, I always make myself clear. I'm a bird, but have no feathers. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 30 2004, 05:31 PM | ||
Can I answer, or is only Fwee allowed to? |
Posted by: Fweethawt Oct 30 2004, 07:35 PM | ||
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This riddle stuff just isn't my thing. I read this stuff and my brain takes off in so many directions that I can't even begin to come up with an answer. Now, I know that once somebody answers this I'm going to kick myself in the butt for not knowing the answer. So Kitty, since this one was just for me, and I don't have a clue what the answer is, you go right ahead and let it rip. |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 30 2004, 11:32 PM |
We'll do the visual answer... |
Posted by: sexkitten Oct 30 2004, 11:49 PM |
Okay, now for a riddle... I am a prep school student, and a dazed spook lost in Europe who stole my friend in Italy, and a genius without a future. A soldier, a heister, a gambler, and an angel. Who am I? |
Posted by: Fweethawt Oct 30 2004, 11:56 PM | ||
Oh, I see how he is now..... That rotten sonovabitch flipped me off with a frikkin' riddle! That's good..... That's real good...... I'm tellin' Reach. WAITAMINUTE!!!!!!

Yes! You may now post a riddle. |
Posted by: DoubleDee Nov 1 2004, 04:56 PM | ||||
Thanks for fixing the first line, Sexkitten. Salt was the first thing I thought of but didn't make sense with the original first line I have been worshipped by millions I live in temples, palaces and shacks Intelligent and scrupulously groomed I will survive longer without water than a camel My Fancy lil' kittens will grow big as a buck. What am I? |

No, It's not a cockroach. A clue: A buck is the adult male of the kittens. |
Posted by: sexkitten Nov 2 2004, 01:56 PM | ||||||
I think I have it. I was thinking of Egyptian cat worship and thus a lion or other species of African wildcat at first, too. But two things threw me: Cats drink LOTS of water, and big cats don't live in amongst humans. So, my guess will be the Rat. I will go create a new riddle if I can, while the good lady DD checks my answers. |
