Anybody up for a riddle?

emjay said:

I don't get how it relates to the second line, or "beheading" at all.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah small.

I wouldn't have figured out the riddle in a million year,
I can't answer some of these riddles a lack of intelligence I fear.
But as far as the beheading goes,
In a weird way it makes sense to me bro.
Remember the old non-safety wood match?
It could be lit without a scratch patch.
Just give it a flick with a finger nail.
Kind of like ripping off it's head, but there's no need to pale.
As far as the green goes I'm trying to remember,
When it first ignites isn't there a green-blue to this ember?

Short was my life, and brilliant my career = SPARK
Behead me, I in lovely green appear SPARK

Behead again, I once was made to save
My chosen inmates from a watery grave. = SPARK

I do believe, as shown above
Beheading refers to removal of
The first letter, "S" that's in the word
Behead again would be "P" I heard

This has to be fave so far
So please post another, you Rhyming Czar

mii thinks it's because of watson I presume, for a spark is full of watts I would assume! or is it watson that causes a spark, in sherlock head, for them to embark?

Jeez I finally now get it
It's ingenious and I'm a dimwit.

With this thread of riddle and rhyme,
It takes more than just a little time.

Especially lately to figure things out,
The riddles extreme, there is no doubt!

I swear there are some geniuses here,
Who's minds work very twistedly clear.

I had to take a bit of a hiatus,
So spent some time out in Las Vegas!

I think that although I'm not that good,
I'm better at rhyming it must be understood…

Can not believe again I'm up so late,
Seems it's the only time that I relate.

Today is the beginning of the end of the week
Yesterday noticed not to many speak.

In my mind I think folks are tired out,
And don't have the energy to toss a riddle about.

So to all you riddle czars whoever you are.

This weekend you can take your mind off this thread
And forget about everything here that's been said.

Just relax and have a good one.
But come Monday let's all have more fun.

Until the next I'll post a simple teaser,
Maybe it will take your mind off your keezer.


Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.

I'm going to have to guess it's water,
But this time I won't mention a ***** of a daughter.
Oops.

A ceiling sounds appealing.

It finally gets it, this brain of mine
On the app, the bolding is not shown
Nor italics, colors, or underline
Just plain old text, bare as a bone

This answer was great
And a light it did shine
On the probable answer
Another favorite of mine:

Legs

Please keep up, okay

The lack of rich formatting
is not a big deal
I have no actual problems
At least none that are real
And in fact, to me,
Plaintext does appeal

PS: haikus suck
Before my rhymes, you should kneel

You all seem really good at this rhyming
And your proses have impeccable timing
But I have just one thought
Hold it against me you must not
What is this kool-aid that I am buying?

emjay's legs is right, he's on a roll
but passedpawn's list made me lol

Maybe I'll give it a go
Probably wrong twice in row
I would doubt the answer's a razor
But how about an electric taser?

That you're answering the last riddle, I seriously doubt
So what the hell is you talkin' about?

A cool aide for a policeman it might be
And I wouldn't want it held against me


BTW my other wrong answer was a grudge
Don't want no haters let Gawd be my judge.

does post 494 a riddle contain?
if so im lost like my dog shane

Aw crap! This damn thing gave out!
My computer has stalled, and in this I pout!
I answered a new riddle, and it wasn't fickle.
And the answer was truely quite simple.
This keyboard must have been in a pickle.
Shouldn't have gone for a popsicle
Now no answer do I give,
Seems my mind is just a siv.
This sucks cause I got the clues
Past rememerance is just old news.
Only words now that is true
Is I must need a homebrew!

I guess it's my turn to change the tide
As there seems to be no open riddle:
What has a foot on each side
And has one foot in the middle?


"Not enough rhyming and riddling," you say?
Here's another to make your day.
Hopefully these are making you smirk
Plus a new pentameter to make it work:
A butcher butches to pass his day
But if he's 8 feet tall, what does he weigh?

I thought the answer to the first was "me"
Though it said "feet", when I've only legs three

But anyways, a yardstick has three such feet
And a butcher tends to weigh his meat
I'll admit the first riddle was no simple feat
But the second was pretty much instantly beat

And all this time, there'd been under our noses
Another who has no idea what prose is
I say this in good fun, however terse
But prose is the complete opposite of verse!

I understand the difference between prose & poetry
I figured I'd make jest & poke fun of all our ability
It does seem that with all the rhyme
That we all just have too much time
To devote to so much nonsense is just ghastly!

I'm no poet,
and I am aware of it.

That was quite astute, my dear emjay
I've been saving those riddles for a rainy day

At first I thought it must be a book
But then I thought I should take another look
It appears as though I'm on the right track
But don't think I'm right, now looking back
An encylopedia comes to mind
As the riddle does mention "to bind"
But eyes to listen are causing me sorrow
I guess I'll think more and check back tomorrow

At first glance I would guess a dictionary
But only because LabRats avatar is unsightly...and hairy.

Book was correct it is true
Now I'm out to find news one for you to do.

I am sorry but this there is no rhyme this time:
The paragraph below is very unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it?
"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "
The above passage is allegedly taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930s.

Correct passedpawn, I like how you hide the spoil
deep beneath the virtual soil

A cloth of threads
on poster beds

A beery tribute
we all contribute

It's part of HaBiT
But I can't Grab It

What is this thing
that I'm perusing?

Passedpawn any chance of a hint?
Is it three words, none of them lint?
If it is, maybe I figured out two,
Of the answer for this thing you pursue.

I have an answer but I don't you how you concealed it
I'd like to answer without a Trace
Like my panties its made of _______.

Dan, the man, the riddle dancer,
Look closely now, you'll see at the answer.

3 words I guess if you spread them abreast.

That's outta the box.
