Your Saturday Morning Riddle II

cooby Mar 18 2006 07:30 AM

Cant find the original. What kind of person plays basketball with a shirt and tie?

TheOldMole Mar 18 2006 02:26 PM

James L. Dolan?

cooby Mar 18 2006 02:28 PM

Noooo...he is far too busy messing up KC's TV plans to play basketball... Try again

Willets Point Mar 18 2006 02:30 PM

With the current NBA dresscode, it would be any player who forgot his uniform.

cooby Mar 18 2006 02:34 PM

:) But this is a more everyday type of person

Edgy DC Mar 18 2006 03:14 PM

A man tossing his work clothes in the hamper.

KC Mar 18 2006 04:00 PM

I ain't tossin' any of my ties in no hamper, but that's a good guess.

cooby Mar 18 2006 04:05 PM

That is a good guess, but no. This must be an official type of game, judging from the answer.

metsmarathon Mar 18 2006 04:39 PM

someone with one of those wastebasket basketball hoops in their office.

cooby Mar 18 2006 05:23 PM

No... I will give you a hint. What kind of room do you usually play basketball in? It is a very very big room

soupcan Mar 18 2006 05:27 PM

cooby Mar 18 2006 05:30 PM

No, but you're getting closer (that sounds like a guy with a really bad cold)

cooby Mar 19 2006 12:40 PM

wow, where is MFS62 when I need him?

MFS62 Mar 19 2006 01:08 PM

I'm stumped by this one. Later

cooby Mar 19 2006 01:36 PM

Soupcan gave part of the answer... (I thought with basketball on everyone's mind, this would be easier!)

Benjamin Grimm Mar 19 2006 02:17 PM

Court?

cooby Mar 19 2006 02:45 PM

No... Another hint: Black Oak Arkansas

sharpie Mar 19 2006 03:53 PM

Jim Dandy.

cooby Mar 19 2006 04:16 PM

There ya go. A Gym Dandy, to be precise

soupcan Mar 19 2006 06:49 PM

Grooooooooaaaaaaannnnnnnnn.

cooby Mar 19 2006 07:36 PM

I shall strive to find another groaner for next time

MFS62 Mar 20 2006 05:48 AM

That was painful. I'm hoping we can get Gym Dandy to the rescue (Obscure song reference). Later

cooby Mar 25 2006 06:56 AM

What has six legs, but walks with only four?

DocTee Mar 25 2006 07:58 AM

A horse (with rider)

cooby Mar 26 2006 07:26 PM

Very good :)

cooby Apr 08 2006 07:00 AM

Why did the kid put his head on the piano?

Johnny Dickshot Apr 08 2006 07:51 AM

he wanted to play by ear

cooby Apr 08 2006 08:40 AM

You are correct, sir!

Willets Point May 11 2006 01:49 PM

Bump for Saturday morning!

cooby May 14 2006 07:20 PM

Why do ants like to crawl all over peonies?

cooby May 15 2006 05:52 PM

Nobody else knows, either, huh?

Willets Point May 15 2006 05:54 PM

To get to the other side of the peonies?

cooby May 15 2006 06:18 PM

I'll bet there's more to it than that. But what a pleasant walk it would be!

cooby May 20 2006 08:12 AM

What can a whole apple do that half an apple can't?

cooby May 31 2006 08:38 PM

bump, this is pretty easy, folks

HahnSolo May 31 2006 09:12 PM

Roll when pushed? Keep the doctor away? Provide a more complete source of natural pectin? Pop out of a giant black hat at a baseball stadium? You got me.

cooby May 31 2006 09:27 PM

Keep thinkin

Willets Point Jul 05 2006 12:18 PM

cooby wrote: What can a whole apple do that half an apple can't? I give up!

HahnSolo Jul 07 2006 11:02 AM

Calling all apple experts!

Edgy DC Jul 07 2006 11:15 AM

It can look round. I've got riddle: Where is cooby?

SteveJRogers Jul 07 2006 11:33 AM

She hasn't been around since her birthday. Probably went on vacation and didn't tell us

TheOldMole Jul 09 2006 12:05 PM

It ain't the same.

cooby Jul 11 2006 06:49 AM

Hi, Scarlett wrote and told me I was missed; thank you, I am really very touched... I'm okay, but I'm working through some personal problems and issues and need a little time for myself No, no vacations for me this year, in fact I even had to give up my new job, which I really liked. If I had been here, here are some thing I might have said: My daughter will be the Head Fourth Grade Teacher at the school she works at this year. My husband got bitten by a blacksnake on the Fourth of July. My son is back from Germany and Austria and had a really good time. He got totally caught up in the FIFA craze. Bought us a big beautiful American flag, which we are proudly flying. My neighbor Jeff is finally back from Baghdad. Any warm thoughts you want to send my way until I can come back would be appreciated. (BTW, Edgy got the riddle answer right)

Edgy DC Jul 11 2006 07:13 AM

Best wishes to you and your family, Coo'. I'll lay out this Saturday's riddle.

Iubitul Jul 11 2006 08:27 AM

Cooby - I hope everything works out ok - I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers - This place isn't the same without you.

Willets Point Jul 11 2006 08:40 AM

Cooby I have nothing but warm thoughts for you. I hope you can work things out. I'll keep you in my prayers.

cooby Jul 15 2006 08:58 AM

thanks :)

Edgy DC Jul 15 2006 10:56 AM

Though driven, I lack both wheels and feet. Though sliced, I yet remain complete.

Iubitul Jul 15 2006 11:17 AM

Edgy DC wrote: Though driven, I lack both wheels and feet. Though sliced, I yet remain complete. A golf ball

Edgy DC Jul 15 2006 02:29 PM

Yeah. Tweezy. You got next Saturday.

Willets Point Aug 05 2006 10:12 AM

What do you call a mob boss with a sore toe?

TheOldMole Aug 05 2006 01:58 PM

The Goutfather?

Willets Point Aug 05 2006 01:59 PM

I was thinking John Gouty, but I like yours better.

cooby Aug 05 2006 02:15 PM

You make up your own riddles? I'm impressed...

SwitchHitter Aug 19 2006 08:13 AM

How do you fix a broken pizza?

ScarletKnight41 Aug 19 2006 08:15 AM

Annie - it is so good to see you! How have you been? As to the riddle, I need to ponder that for a while....

KC Aug 19 2006 08:21 AM

A broken pizza can easily be fixed with a little tomato paste. (that's old :-))

SwitchHitter Aug 19 2006 08:38 AM

My 7yo came asking me that. And yes, it's old, but I thought, "Hey, it's Saturday, I wonder if there's a riddle...." So I came looking and didn't see one. I'm still doing my sim baseball. It's the 2010-2011 offseason right now. Free agent siging starts Wednesday. I'm assistant GM of the Cincinnati Bearcats. My pitcher, Ryan Rose of the New Jersey Nightmares was 4-0 in the postseason, including winning three against NY in the playoffs. The NY Firebirds are the Evil Empire of our little universe. NJ lost the championship series to the Lancaster Lynx. In five games. Which is to say, mine is the only game we won. My other boy will be in AAA again next season but he should be big in 2012. My kids started school on Thursday. The younger ones had prepacked school supplies that you could buy. The older one keeps needing more stuff as her teachers get their acts together. My AIM is AstroJMag and I'm on most of the time. Feel free to chat me up. I've been doing a lot more IM and that takes away time that I used to spend in fora.

Willets Point Aug 26 2006 09:55 PM

It's closer to Sunday morning than Saturday morning, but this is closer to a joke than a riddle. What's the difference between snot and cauliflower?

MFS62 Aug 27 2006 06:52 AM

People will eat snot? Later

Willets Point Aug 27 2006 09:17 AM

The actual answer is "Kids will eat snot" but you were on the right track.

Giant Squidlike Creature Oct 03 2006 04:49 PM

Riddle Squid This.

cooby Oct 03 2006 06:33 PM

My riddle book was buried under a bunch of phone books. Okay, how's this: What did the boy octopus say to the girl octopus?

Willets Point Oct 03 2006 06:35 PM

I want to hold your hand hand hand hand hand hand hand hand.

cooby Oct 03 2006 06:36 PM

Oh! You're too smart!

Willets Point Oct 03 2006 06:37 PM

You hang around with squids as long as I have, and you learn a few things.

cooby Oct 03 2006 06:39 PM

Well, it's your turn. Riddle me.

MFS62 Oct 04 2006 07:14 AM

What didn't Bonnie and Clyde say to the G-men? Later

cooby Oct 06 2006 05:46 AM

Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me..... ?

MFS62 Oct 06 2006 07:58 AM

Nope. You gave the answer in a post up above; "Riddle me". Later

cooby Oct 06 2006 09:00 AM

Geez, I thought about that for a couple of days and didn't think of that

Willets Point Oct 09 2006 05:01 PM

Why does Johann Sebastian Bach have to panhandle outside the cathedral?

cooby Oct 09 2006 06:30 PM

They wouldn't let him Bach inside?

Willets Point Oct 09 2006 11:07 PM

Creative, but no.

cooby Oct 10 2006 07:18 AM

Anybody else want to take a crack at it? Poor Willets was up until 1 am hoping for somebody to get the right answer...

Willets Point Oct 10 2006 11:04 AM

You ready for the answer? Here it is... Because he's Baroque!

MFS62 Oct 10 2006 11:22 AM

Not only a good riddle, but an excellent pun, too. Worth waiting for. Now get some sleep. Later

cooby Nov 07 2006 03:39 PM

Heard some good ones while voting. I'll do these two, then save one for Saturday... Where do you work if you have one leg? And what is your name?

SwitchHitter Nov 07 2006 09:38 PM

My name is Eileen and I work at IHOP.

cooby Nov 08 2006 03:48 PM

Very good, Switchie!

Willets Point Dec 13 2006 10:12 AM

Here's a riddle: Why isn't cooby riddling us on Saturday morns anymore?

cooby Dec 13 2006 04:39 PM

Is that a request for an encore?

cooby Dec 16 2006 06:38 AM

An easy one to start, since I have not been stretching your brains: What goes 99-thump, 99-thump, 99-thump?

ScarletKnight41 Dec 16 2006 07:38 AM

A centipede with a wooden leg.

cooby Dec 16 2006 08:06 AM

Too easy, I know. try this one: Why do cats sleep better in summer than in winter?

cooby Dec 19 2006 03:53 PM

Any guesses?

cooby Dec 23 2006 07:38 AM

Any more guesses?

MFS62 Dec 23 2006 08:12 AM

Ya' got us on this one, Coob. Later

Willets Point Dec 23 2006 10:46 AM

Because there are more caterpillars.

They're both a little horse (hoarse).

cooby Jan 06 2007 03:44 PM

Excellent, Doc Tee, excellent!
