Your Saturday Morning Riddle

cooby Sep 24 2005 08:16 AM

What is the hardest thing about learning to roller skate?

KC Sep 24 2005 08:34 AM

I'd go with either 'stopping' or 'getting back on your feet after falling'. But why do I think this is going in another direction? lol

seawolf17 Sep 24 2005 08:44 AM

The ground, when you fall.

MFS62 Sep 24 2005 10:08 AM

And the corollary joke (heard on FOXNEWS Sunday morning edition a few months ago): What is the toughest thing about rollerblading? Later

cooby Sep 24 2005 10:25 AM

Very good seawolf "the ground" is correct. Is that the answer to the rollerblading question too?

MFS62 Sep 24 2005 11:30 AM

No, that's not the answer. I'll post it later today. Uh,... Later

cooby Sep 26 2005 01:49 PM

I give up! :)

MFS62 Sep 26 2005 01:55 PM

Telling your parents that you're gay. Later

holychicken Sep 26 2005 02:18 PM

I never associated rollerblading with being gay. In fact, I got laid once because I met a girl while rollerblading. Maybe that was because her choices were so limited. And here I was thinking I was a stud. :(

MFS62 Sep 26 2005 02:23 PM

Since I don't rollerblade, nor do I know anyone who does, I just posted what I heard on the tv because it seemed to be "in topic". And it seemed odd to me when I heard it that it didn't get bleeped. Don't worry, chicken, you're a stud to us. Later

holychicken Sep 26 2005 02:40 PM

62, Are you coming on to me? I know I rollerblade and all, but I don't swing that way. . . NTTAWWT. hehehe

MFS62 Sep 26 2005 02:48 PM

cooby Oct 01 2005 08:23 AM

What happens if your dog swallows a clock?

MFS62 Oct 01 2005 08:52 AM

It gets tics? (I'm just asking, because I never heard this riddle before. It sounds like a comendibly corny continuation of what should become a Saturday Morning tradition) Later

cooby Oct 01 2005 08:58 AM

You are very good at this! Ticks is correct My son got a really good riddle book for his birthday a few years back and it doesn't get much use any more so I figured I might as well test you all every Saturday

soupcan Oct 01 2005 09:00 AM

He cheats.

cooby Oct 01 2005 09:03 AM

Maybe he has the same book. The one I have picked out for Halloween weekend is very cute

soupcan Oct 01 2005 09:06 AM

Knock, knock...

cooby Oct 01 2005 09:08 AM

Who's there?

soupcan Oct 01 2005 09:09 AM

Boo.

cooby Oct 01 2005 09:09 AM

Boo who?

soupcan Oct 01 2005 09:11 AM

Awwww, don't cry. That's my pseudo-Halloween joke. Gets 'em every time.

cooby Oct 01 2005 09:11 AM

hehe, I always liked that one too...

ScarletKnight41 Oct 01 2005 11:32 AM

That's a cute one.

cooby Oct 08 2005 02:35 PM

1) A dog was tied to a 15-foot rope, but he walked 30 feet. How come? 2) What do liars do after they die?

ScarletKnight41 Oct 08 2005 02:39 PM

1) From 15 feet out, he walked to the middle and then 15 feet the other way. 2) They Lie in State. It's still morning? LOL

MFS62 Oct 08 2005 02:40 PM

I'll guess: 1) to the end of the rope and back. 2) They keep lying - as in a prone position. Later

cooby Oct 08 2005 02:40 PM

Nope and Nope. But excellent answers both, just not the ones in my book.

MFS62 Oct 08 2005 03:17 PM

OK, I give up. Its now Saturday afternoon, and the suspense is killing me. Later

cooby Oct 08 2005 06:51 PM

No, not enough guesses yet, despite Mom's quite excellent stabs at them Hints 1) So easy I gave you a second one 2) So easy a dead person could answer it

cooby Oct 08 2005 06:56 PM

Good heavens, after several hours I realize MFS72 and I cross posted and he correctly answered #2. 2) They lie still #1 is still up for grabs

TheOldMole Oct 08 2005 10:45 PM

The rope wasn't tied to anything on the other end.

cooby Oct 08 2005 10:58 PM

Yay! Another winner!

MFS62 Oct 09 2005 09:32 AM

Thanks. I've already got next Saturday's riddle. (insert devilish laughter here) Later

cooby Oct 15 2005 07:05 AM

Why is b a hot letter?

MFS62 Oct 15 2005 08:52 AM

Because its not in AC? Hey, I thought this was going to be my Saturday for a riddle. Later

cooby Oct 15 2005 09:04 AM

no....

MFS62 Oct 15 2005 09:10 AM

Then ya' got me. Let's see if anyone else tries. Gotta' go now to try to get the water out of my family room. Later

cooby Oct 15 2005 09:20 AM

That's really a good guess though, 62. If you have a neighbor with a pool, borrow their little pump; we have used ours in our basement probably as often as we have in our pool...they are indispensible!

SwitchHitter Oct 15 2005 10:41 AM

Because it can make oil boil

cooby Oct 15 2005 12:22 PM

Annie wins the prize this week! :)

MFS62 Oct 15 2005 12:33 PM

But I got a wet vac that seems to be getting the job done. Pain in the arse, though. Later

MFS62 Oct 21 2005 09:37 PM

Posting early this week: (which means I want to sleep late this Saturday morning) A man leaves his house and walks 5 miles South. He then turns and walks 5 miles East, where he kills a bear. He doesn't have his knife with him to skin it, so he drags the bear five miles North back to his house. What color is the bear, and why? Later

ScarletKnight41 Oct 21 2005 10:55 PM

It's not Saturday. And you're not cooby.

sharpie Oct 21 2005 10:57 PM

The bear is white because he can't be anywhere else but the North Pole.

MFS62 Oct 22 2005 02:00 PM

Calling Sharpie. Please setp by the front desk and pick up your prize. Mom, I said I was posting it early, and if you read back to last week, I said I had a good one, and Cooby didn't say no. Later

Willets Point Oct 22 2005 02:40 PM

I guess this means that Cooby is The Riddler: and MFS62 is The Riddler's Gay Uncle:

MFS62 Oct 22 2005 03:07 PM

Sorry. Homey don't play 'dat. :) Later

Iubitul Oct 29 2005 09:15 AM

This one is an easy one - it's the Braingle teaser of the day: What does this mean? VAD ERS

MFS62 Oct 29 2005 09:32 AM

?? Darth is back in town? Later

TheOldMole Oct 29 2005 09:33 AM

SPACE IN VADERS

Johnny Dickshot Oct 29 2005 09:48 AM

Hard one from the quiz they have on Sunday morning on NPR: Starting with the letters E-L-I, add 3 letters to the front, and the same 3 letters to the back, but in reverse order (for example ABC-ELI-CBA), to make a common 2-word phrase. Hint: The phrase describes this puzzle. In case you can't guess they will broadcast the answer tomorrow.

cooby Oct 29 2005 02:04 PM

Johhny, do you know if the letters have to be consecutive in the alphabet?

TheOldMole Oct 29 2005 02:08 PM

Cooby -- no pat on the back?

cooby Oct 29 2005 02:10 PM

Of course! That is was a very good answer! But I didn't start it this week, it was Lubitol or Iubitol or whatever, hehee

Iubitul Oct 29 2005 04:12 PM

it's iubitul. sheesh - I didn't think it was that hard... (meaning my name, not the riddle. Good job Mole.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 29 2005 05:57 PM

TIME LIMIT

Johnny Dickshot Oct 29 2005 06:52 PM

Holy crap I think YSG got it. Listen to NPR tommorrow morning and see!

Iubitul Oct 30 2005 08:39 AM

Which noun, from group B, belongs in group A? Why? Group A Man, Foot, Child, Tooth, Mouse. Group B Girl, Hand, Adult, Toe, Goose.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 30 2005 09:01 AM

Answer below. If you want to solve it yourself, don't scroll down. Goose, because you don't make it plural by adding an S. Group A Men, Feet, Children, Teeth, Mice, Geese. Group B Girls, Hands, Adults, Toes.

cooby Nov 05 2005 09:45 PM

Why are dogs poor dancers?

Edgy DC Nov 05 2005 09:57 PM

Because they have two left feet.

cooby Nov 05 2005 10:51 PM

Too easy, I know :) But I saw it in Readers Digest and thought it was kinda cute

Edgy DC Nov 05 2005 11:33 PM

I was just dog shopping today. We drove out to meet two Katrina victims. This was them after three washings: But, because the washers still couldn't get all of the sludge out of the dogs' hair, they had to be shaven. They're going to be gorgeous when their coats come back in, but I don't think these are the dogs for us.

Edgy DC Nov 07 2005 01:16 PM

And, as if on cue, this week Mutts is doing more of their "Shelter Stories."

cooby Nov 14 2005 08:22 AM

Moved to the proper thread: What was the elephant doing on the highway?

MFS62 Nov 14 2005 08:33 AM

Checking his trunk? Later

cooby Nov 14 2005 08:40 AM

That's a cute guess! But no

MFS62 Nov 14 2005 09:06 AM

About five miles per hour? Later

cooby Nov 14 2005 09:15 AM

That's it!

MFS62 Nov 14 2005 09:59 AM

You're kidding. That was the SWAG to end all SWAGs. LOL! Later

cooby Nov 14 2005 10:09 AM

What's a SWAG? :)

MFS62 Nov 14 2005 10:24 AM

SWAG = Scientific Wild Arse Guess. Later

cooby Nov 19 2005 08:33 AM

What has six legs but only walks on four of them?

TheOldMole Nov 19 2005 10:34 AM

A man on horseback?

cooby Nov 19 2005 02:25 PM

That's it!

cooby Dec 03 2005 10:03 AM

Why do we dress baby boys in blue and baby girls in pink?

TheOldMole Dec 03 2005 11:49 AM

Because when they grow up the boys are likely to have blue balls and the girls...never mind. Let's look for a different answer.

ScarletKnight41 Dec 03 2005 12:03 PM

To tell them apart?

cooby Dec 03 2005 12:08 PM

Because when they grow up the boys are likely to have blue balls and the girls...never mind. *chuckle* Nobody has it so far...

TheOldMole Dec 03 2005 12:43 PM

To find them in a pile of bowling balls?

MFS62 Dec 03 2005 01:23 PM

Because if you dress the boys in pink, when they grow up and see the baby pictures, they'll hate you forever. Er, I don't know (obviously) Later

cooby Dec 03 2005 07:39 PM

cooby wrote: Why do we dress baby boys in blue and baby girls in pink? You guys are all going to kick yourselves if I have to tell you the answer

TheOldMole Dec 04 2005 12:12 AM

Lining up for the kick.

seawolf17 Dec 04 2005 06:21 AM

So you can tell them apart?

ScarletKnight41 Dec 04 2005 08:19 AM

Seawolf - I beat you to that wrong guess on p. 4.

cooby Dec 04 2005 09:29 AM

Do you all give up? Try this: Read it again, without the pink and blue part. I can't believe I stumped you!!

ScarletKnight41 Dec 04 2005 09:55 AM

We dress them to keep them from being cold?

MFS62 Dec 04 2005 10:16 AM

Because they can't dress themselves. Later

cooby Dec 04 2005 10:44 AM

Very good! The standings thus far: MFS62: 4 Old Mole: 2 Seawolf: 1 Switch Hitter: 1 Scarlet Knight: 1 Edgy: 1 Correct me if I'm wrong

ScarletKnight41 Dec 04 2005 10:58 AM

I got one right? Cool!

MFS62 Dec 04 2005 11:44 AM

Y'mean you're keeping score? Now I'm probably going to choke. Later

cooby Dec 31 2005 09:38 AM

What did the caterpillar do to celebrate New Years?

Willets Point Dec 31 2005 09:55 AM

Turn over a new leaf.

cooby Dec 31 2005 12:09 PM

Very good, Willets! I know that one was kinda lame but it was the only New Years one in the book.

cooby Feb 11 2006 09:45 AM

Why should you not leave a library book on the ground overnight?

MFS62 Feb 11 2006 09:54 AM

Something about over-dew (over due) but I can't figure out the rest of the words. Later

cooby Feb 11 2006 10:03 AM

It will be overdew! Very good!
