RIDDLES

MA · #1 05-25-2009, 02:20 PM

come one, come all! this is the thread to test your mental strength by attempting to guess the answers to riddles!

cut the bullshit: feel free to post riddles and stuff here.
for those who are not sure what a riddle actually is;

:

a puzzle in the form of a question or rhyme that contains clues to its answer.

this might turn a bit spammy but i've booked this week off and i'm bored out of my skull.

heres one my grandmother told me;

I grabbed her by her slender neck,
She could not call or scream.
I took her to my dingy room,
Where we could not be seen.
I tore away her flimsy wrap,
And gazed upon her form.
She looked so cold and wet and scared,
While i was hot and warm.
I raised my hungry lips to hers,
She gave me every drop.
I drained her of her very self,
She could not make me stop.
I made her what she is today,
Thats why you see her here.
CUT
what am i?

the next time i post a riddle i'll give the answer to this one.

Is it a lager?

I can't contribute. I can't think of one.

MA · #3 05-25-2009, 02:32 PM

you...yes it is. well done.

I made her what she is today,
Thats why you see her here.
A broken bottle thrown away,
That was once filled with beer.

ok then, this one will take a little more noggin noodling. i got i from a game which i wont name just yet;

By night they come without being fetched,
By day they're lost without being stolen.
what the hell are they?

Sounds like the fucking midges up in the Lake District. Always pester you at evening/night. Never pester you in the day, though. I have a net thing that I put over my head to keep them off. Makes me look bloody stupid, but it keeps them off.

MA · #5 05-25-2009, 02:40 PM

bloody true. or those fucking mopey bastards that walk around at night trying to get blokes to buy them booze at the local offy. you know the ones, with piercings in every imaginable orifice.

i feel another 'are you emo?' thread coming on. best not.

Rubber Donut

Bullet Magnet · #7 05-25-2009, 03:04 PM

Stars. Or dreams.

This one's a bit vague. Even I got "beer" for the first one, and it's well out of my paradigm.

Rubber Donut

fucking correct.

EDIT: yeah BM, they are stars.

What is more holy than God,
More evil than the Devil,
Rich people want it,
Poor people have it,
If you it it you will die.
What am i?

dont think to deeply for this one.

Havoc · #9 05-25-2009, 03:57 PM

It's nothing.

Edit: I have some, but they're from video games. Do those count?

The answer to mine is a hose connected to itself. I win money.

Pilot · #15 05-25-2009, 07:36 PM

I've got your hose connected to itself.

***Nate*** · #16 05-25-2009, 08:06 PM

I've got one for you. What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap about this thread?

Havoc · #17 05-26-2009, 02:30 AM

That dude from Scrubs?

Crashpunk · #18 05-26-2009, 02:33 AM

Yes, he's awesome

shaman · #19 05-26-2009, 04:41 AM

I have no begining, i have no end, i am always going around the bend...what am i?

OddjobAbe · #20 05-26-2009, 04:51 AM

A roundabout? Or more likely, God? We all know that if he does exist, all his work will be driving him 'round the bend.

***Wil*** · #21 05-26-2009, 06:26 AM

My first is in apple, but not in carrot,
My second predicts things, but isn’t tarot,
My third is chelonian, but isn’t a terrapin,
Next, my penultimate smells like a theremin,
My last is invisible to CCTV,
And not just because it’s so teeny weeny.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I ON?

Bullet Magnet · #22 05-26-2009, 06:33 AM

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

you are correct.
for those that may not quite get it;
nothing is more holy than God,
nothing is more evil than the Devil,
rich people want nothing,
poor people have nothing,
if you eat nothing you will die.

and yeah, any riddle will do. i wouldnt post the name of the games though, someone might cheat.

MA · #25 05-27-2009, 07:07 AM

Skin like the sea,
Ears like a tree,
A great beast I be,
Though vermin frighten me.
What am I?

pretty easy.

***Wil*** · #26 05-27-2009, 07:11 AM

Zomg. Pick a different game.

MA · #27 05-27-2009, 07:18 AM

An elephant. Very exaggurated, though. Indian elephants actually have fairly small ears. Africans' ears are considerably bigger.

MA · #29 05-27-2009, 07:27 AM

an elephant.

i got it from a computer game, i spose they had to exaggerate it for younger players.

Well done! you get a years supply of chicken fried mutton.
