opium?

[Kosmick]

what is it?

it was the name of a king, whose victory by a river led to 400 years of bad music and violence.

it is an edible item named by some after the country where the first firework was ignited.

it was the symbol of support for a poison victim.

(for frieda) it was on the shirt worn by an 80's dreadlocked hero who worked for a dodgy italian politician.

first correct one word answer gets to set the next one.....
:)

Mein Puzzlemeister...is it conceiveable that there may be TWO(or more) correct answers to z qvestun?

To wit(less):

and here's where it falls apart...unless we take away "italian"...

Next qvestun?

Not syphillis, thank-you Zen.

Poppies it is..........over to lala. Try not to mis-spell any clues this time.

Ay caramba! :eek:

:)

[Hyakujo's Fox]

I couldn't figure out the "canyon" connection.

[dinzdale]

I couldn't figure out the "canyon" connection.

I couldn't figure out = bad at maths = long division = pi (sounds like) pie

the "canyon" = Grand Canyon = grand = $1,000

connection. = joint = weed / dope = ripped to the tits = women's breasts

SOOOOOOOOO, we now have,

Expensive knocker pie

...erm.....or not? :confused:

[craig johnston]

in california there is laurel canyon and hardy canyon.
i thought the yanks would get that clue.
:)

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Every line is an individual clue...

Falling between the part and the whole
the irrelevance sits alongside me.
Measure the magnitude of these words
and when you have obtained me you'll know.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Expensive knocker pie
Sometimes Dinz, we see the things what we want to see.

[Frieda]

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Nevertheless the answer is correct...

[craig johnston]

sh*t, ch doesn't like setting them
although he's a good guesser.
any ideas rmr?
:confused:

[lapietra]

Okay - since ch doesn't seem to want to guess... Maybe we could default to the thread starter (cj)? Also... maybe a rule of "don't guess if you're not willing to post a riddle if you win?"

[Frieda]

one to pass the time

CJ - you wanna give that riddle you posted before a spin? :)

[craig johnston]

;)

let's keep it loose. anyone can guess, but don't be afraid to set one. no matter how obvious it may seem to you, others might not find it easy.

and frieda:
WEED!
:)

[lapietra]

:confused:
very confused. which one is it, lapietra?

suck charlie = charlie ain't postin no riddle

Well... did you ask someone else to post a riddle instead of you? don't be putting it on me that we're all confused about your intentions... :rolleyes: Can't read your mind. :p

[ch_burchill]

yes, i asked snakie.

[red]

does blue paint smell differently than, say red paint?

[lapietra]

yes, i asked snakie.

My apologies. :) I do wish you'd post one tho' - I imagine it would be clever.

[Frieda]

does blue paint smell differently than, say red paint?

owwwowowowowow she's on it....

and no, for some dumb reason i didn't make up a riddle with the answer of WEED. don't ask me why. i don't know. i'm stupid.

[madasacutsnake]

Hey Charlie. You asked me to set a riddle when you won "point". Since then you won "cross dresser"................you still want me to set a riddle?

I'm thinking the winner of the paint one should do it now.

[dinzdale]

what's green and smells of blue paint?

Kermit's cock.

[amanda]

no, no, you are confused- that's blue and smells of green paint.

[lapietra]

very very old and moldy cheese

[ch_burchill]

I'm thinking the winner of the paint one should do it now.

[Frieda]

line #2 was never a funny pages cartoon but has been animated before

1) A tasty golden brown shell-shaped treat
2) when doubly colinear, I'm the smallest and I'm after the eleventh
3) and I partied with a Party-boy despotic cognac fiend with nukes


1) refers to a type of cookie
2) "twelve little girls in two straight lines" cmon, guys (and gals)
3) former US sec of state known for an embarrasingly warm reception she received from Kim Jong-IL

I really didn't think this one would be so hard...

[craig johnston]

all hail your tubularness,
1) by 'cookie', i take it you mean biscuit, in which case i am not aware of any shell shaped pastry item.
2) twelve girls in straight lines sounds like any bedtime to me. be more specific...
3) it must be albright, although i never heard about the jong-il thing.

you are too clever by half...
:)

[red]

girl scout cookies?

[red]

um, that makes no sense.
please disregard the post
:rolleyes:

I got the 12 girls in a row (from the book) and the secretary of state (Albright), but I didn't get the shell thing.


Okay, I got the cookies (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006ZSXMQ/104-6973591-8576734?v=glance&s=gourmet-food&n=3587141&me=A3FMUO0B9D1FPZ&vi=pictures&img=14#more-pictures) reference.
