No, it is neither a witch nor a cloud (clouds leave shadows...)

Was I on the right track by naming an emotion?

Susan Delgado - Yes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yay! Got any more? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No--it's an actual thing.

Blecch...they certainly do--though I've said "take that" to mine with some cold medicine....
Sorry, nope, not an illness.

As no-one answered, I thought I'd put in to you again.

With no wings, I fly.
With no eyes, I see.
With no arms, I climb.
More frightening than any beast, stronger than any foe.
I am cunning, ruthless, and tall; in the end, I rule all.

What am I?


A.Y.S.
F.G.

Actually, that same riddle and answer is posted under "Starbreeze's Challenge". We weren't neglecting you [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Hm. That may be so, but I still don't know the answer.

According to the other thread... the answer is imagination.

The answer to THIS!?!? Eh--I didn't think that was it. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Movie Moment

Wow, I would have said "death" for the answer to that, even though if you believe in an afterlife it's not entirely accurate. Ruthless and tall sounds almost like a Ringwraith, or the Grim Reaper or the King of Terrors, for that matter (wow, I'm cheerful tonight [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]).

I still prefer "fate" as an answer to that one...

Let's not lose track of what we're doing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Only thing I can think of, Sam, is a movie. Is it a movie?

Any more guesses on mine?
(I pass before the sun yet leave no shadow.)

Nope. Not emotional. Think physical. (Sort of...) Hm. Sorry, not a good clue giver. Anyhow, it's not emotional. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ugh...I know this isn't it, but a sunspot??

Oh well, yes, you are right Tigerlily Gamgee, The answer is indeed the imagination.

Next time I will try to check on previous used riddles before leaving another.

Don't want to look like a clutz now do I! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

May your days be long and your journey short.
F.G.

P.S.
Susan, well met, you are nobodys gilly, and I remember the face of my father.

Well, I'll give the two a shot...

Samwise - a story?
Susan - the Earth?

Nope. AHH! Don't tell me I've accidentally thought up one of those impossibly hard ones again! I didn't mean to, honest!! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Samwise... is it the sun? life? the weather?
Hmmmm... just guesses [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Tigerlily--
Nope [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img],nope [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img],nope [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img].

Well, shoot [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Umm.....the answer to my riddle is a thing, but not a person or emotion.

Just for clarity, a movie is not an emotion...

a car?
something predatory with big teeth, like a dinosaur or a tiger?
a tornado? no...
a really gripping novel? oh, wait, somebody already guessed "story"
electricity?
ideas?
Am I close with any of these?


That is something I pride myself on, Greenbow. I shoot with my heart, and I remember the face of my father.

If sai Delgado is incorrect with those, you could always try and give us another clue Samwise!!

If you can of course. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Personally I am at a loss to what it is!

F.G.

Sigh...no. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
A clue....er...well...
Okay, the thing that does the "grabbing" is actually a part of the thing that people reach for.

Like a giant lobster picking somebody with its claws? No, that would actually be quite terrifying.

I believe Sai Greenbow is correct. We need a better clue...it's a physical object, part of which is not hands, but which can still grab. Does the use of the word "grab" denote a physical clutching, or something less tangible?

Eee, this riddle is fun! Thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is it some kind of weapon?

No...not a physical clutching. And no, it's not a weapon. It's...actually a part of something a gentleman might give his lady. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
BTW, I'm quite pleased that you're enjoying yourself. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thorns on a rose?

DING DING DING!
Susan got it!

Wow, I never would've guessed that [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Wuhu!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
That was so much fun!

My turn! But instead of giving you all a new one, I will direct your attention to the one of mine that's still floating out there. We were all distracted by Sam's most wonderful riddle [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So far cloud, witch, stars, and darkness/night have been guessed.

has anyone said wind or am i making a fool of myself

Of course you aren't making a fool of yourself! Wind is the answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Take er away

All right, I'll ask one then.

Out of the plain rises a hill.
Your feet can't reach it, try as they will.
Two hands can touch it, one eye can view it,
But try as they will, two eyes can't do it.

[ April 30, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Mm. For some reason, Susan, this riddle makes me think: "Your nose" (just tried to reach mine with my foot--can't do it....) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

You got it, Sam! Take it away

I can touch my nose with my foot...but not two feet at once [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hm...

I protect from invaders
but I am not particularly strong.
Many of me have fallen, perhaps daily
Some may even consider me beautiful.
What am I?

A shiny new sword?

No, Gimli, it's not a weapon.
