OddjobAbe was right with 'shadow'.

what do you put in a toaster?

OddjobAbe 06-10-2009 12:49 PM

Would toast be too obvious? Or is this one trying to trick me?

Nate 06-10-2009 05:53 PM

A knife. Certainly explains my hairstyle.

MeechMunchie 06-10-2009 11:25 PM

Bread!

Nate 06-11-2009 12:34 AM

Crumpets!
Bagels!
Half-toasted bread that needs a little more toasting!

I fear the answer is too dependant upon the person you are asking. Before long we'll see people saying "Broccoli!" "Eggs!" "Bills!" "CDs!" "Hamsters!"

i know, it was terrible. MeechMunchie was right though.

what cheese is made backwards?

OddjobAbe 06-11-2009 06:55 AM

Oh, fuck, I just realised how stupid my answer for the toaster one was.

Edam. That was actually pretty easy.

MA 06-11-2009 07:10 AM

i actually thought you were joking OddjobAbe. you've just dropped yourself in it! :D
Your correct with Edam.

this one is quite hard;

What english word means 'burning wood' when you take away the first letter of the word?

MeechMunchie 06-11-2009 08:02 AM

I'm going to say... member. As in ember. But there are probably multiple answers. And embers don't have to be from wood.
EDIT: Do you mean the action of burning something, or the adjective of something being on fire? If the former, it could be graze. As in raze. As in 'Raze to the ground'.

MA 06-11-2009 08:56 AM

dont worry, you were correct with 'member'.

feed me and i grow,
water me and i diminish.
what am i?

OddjobAbe 06-11-2009 08:58 AM

Fire?

MA 06-11-2009 09:04 AM

yep.

what goes around the world but stays in the corner?

OddjobAbe 06-11-2009 09:06 AM

Something in the corner of an aeroplane.

Nate 06-11-2009 05:50 PM

A stamp on an envelope.

MA 06-12-2009 07:02 AM

What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never weeps,
has a bed but never sleeps?

OANST 06-12-2009 07:04 AM

River.

MA 06-12-2009 07:10 AM

bingo.

I am mother and father, but never give birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?

bit of a toughie.

OddjobAbe 06-12-2009 07:13 AM

A plant? A flower? A hermaphrodite in a straight jacket?

OANST 06-12-2009 07:18 AM

Sun and Moon. Or just the sun. Or maybe the Earth. Is it a fucking planet?

MA 06-12-2009 07:18 AM

OddjobAbe was right. i thought that was tough.

I went into the woods and got it.
I sat down to seek it.
I brought it home with me because I couldn't find it.
What is it?

OANST 06-12-2009 07:22 AM

Lice?

OddjobAbe 06-12-2009 07:22 AM

A small splinter?

OANST 06-12-2009 07:23 AM

No. It's lice.

MA 06-12-2009 07:24 AM

bloody good answer OANST. +rep.

im afraid OddjobAbe guessed it.

OddjobAbe 06-12-2009 07:25 AM

Holy shit, I was joking. I feel pleased with that. Funnily enough, I did almost say a centipide. OANST seems to have covered that for me with a similar thing, anyway.

MA 06-12-2009 07:27 AM

I am weightless, but you can see me.
Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter.
What am I?

we have had this answer before, if that helps.

OddjobAbe 06-12-2009 07:28 AM

A hole?

MA 06-12-2009 07:30 AM

correct.

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

i'm fairly sure no one will guess this in the next 3 posts.

OddjobAbe 06-12-2009 07:33 AM

TV?
