Tigerlily Gamgee · 04-29-2002, 10:29 PM

Ahhh yes, an umbrella.
I wasn't thinking along the lines of things not usually associated with fireplaces. Oh well, at least I've gotten one right [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Tigerlily Gamgee · 04-30-2002, 09:21 AM

OK, I have a couple new ones... I put more than one because they are easy:

"What is dark but made out of light?"

"The Moon is my father,
the Sea is my mother;
I have a million brothers,
I die when I reach land."

piosenniel · 04-30-2002, 10:32 AM

is the first a shadow?

is the second waves?

Tigerlily Gamgee · 04-30-2002, 12:40 PM

Yes and yes!

I'm running out of riddles, I am looking on the internet for some now. Ya know, there aren't many riddle sites out there.
I think I shall start creating my own [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Starbreeze · 04-30-2002, 12:52 PM

Wow, I stayed away for too long. I missed a whole riddle!
Probably just as well, I can't solve them to save my life!

Susan Delgado · 04-30-2002, 12:55 PM

Your turn, piosennial [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Susan Delgado · 05-01-2002, 02:47 AM

Quote:

"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup."

That's from Dealing with Dragons, isn't it? I haven't read it, but I have a friend who used to say that all the time.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-01-2002, 12:57 PM

OK, I have a new one...

"I cannot fly, yet I have wings.
I can make you laugh, cry, or even sing.
Sometimes I am clothed and other times naked.
My purpose is to let your senses awaken."

and another...

"I am tall, short, fat, thin;
I may keep you out
Or I may keep you in."

I made both of these up, so hopefully they are not too terrible [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Starbreeze · 05-01-2002, 01:09 PM

Tigerlily, is the second one a keyhole?

I have one that I made up.

First is last
And last is first
Start is end
And end is start.

Bragolandune · 05-01-2002, 02:03 PM

I'm not really sure where this quote came from, i found it through a quotes website. Thanks for the compliments on it though [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tigerlily, is the first one an imagination? or maybe a dream?

Susan Delgado · 05-01-2002, 04:43 PM

Is the first emotion, Tigerlily?
I agree with Starbreeze about the second maybe being a keyhole. That, or a door.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-01-2002, 06:39 PM

Starbreeze and Susan... the answer I have is not a keyhole, but that also works very well. You are on the right track [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bragolandune... the first one is neither. It is an actualy physical object. Those are both good answers, though.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-01-2002, 06:40 PM

Starbreeze, is the answer to yours a circle?
Or maybe the Round Table [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

tigerlilly - is the first one imagination? is the second one a gate?

i'm tired and going to bed - here's an old question - how do you keep a fish from smelling?

piosenniel · 05-02-2002, 02:01 AM

here's another silly question:
(in case you should find yourself elvishly standing by the sea)

why can you never go hungry at the beach?

(i can hear even gollum groaning at this one!)

Frodo Baggins · 05-02-2002, 11:09 AM

I have a rather corny riddle that I made up myself:

What is there, but then is not
Is always chased but can't be caught
Born of wind and water used for cleaning
Holds a rainbow, though not raining.

Starbreeze · 05-02-2002, 12:49 PM

Yep, it is a circle.

It's not a keyhole? Oh, don't know then, I'm really not very good at this.

Bragolandune · 05-02-2002, 03:24 PM

Tigerlily, my mom thinks the answer to your first one is an entertainer..is she on the right track?

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-02-2002, 09:40 PM

Bragolandune - you are the closest. The answer is not alive, but can be brought to life (if you get what I mean).

piosenniel - you are very close with gate.

Starbreeze, you are good. You've gotten more right than I have.

Also, to keep a fish from smelling you hold its nose!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-02-2002, 09:41 PM

Frodo, is the answer to yours a wave?

Susan Delgado · 05-03-2002, 12:25 PM

Tigerlily, is your first music? And your second a fence?
Frodo, is yours a cloud?

Bragolandune · 05-03-2002, 01:08 PM

Tigerlily, is it a puppet?

Susan Delgado · 05-05-2002, 10:03 AM

Tigerlily? Frodo? Anyone there?

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-05-2002, 11:55 AM

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, I have been really sick [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Anyways - Susan, the answer to the second one is indeed a fence!
The answer to the first one is not music, but music can be part of it. Do you want a hint???

piosenniel · 05-05-2002, 12:15 PM

yessss, tigerlilly - a hint, we wants it!!!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-05-2002, 12:22 PM

OK, a hint....

Quote:

"I cannot fly, yet I have wings.
I can make you laugh, cry, or even sing.

My purpose is to let your senses awaken."

Well, it is a physical object, as I have said earlier, I think. Ummm... if I give too good of a hint I will give it away. Let's say that it is usually very large, but it can also be very small, depending on where it is. Geez, now I am talking in riddles.
If no one gets it soon I will give a big hint! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 05-05-2002, 12:31 PM

Your conscience?

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-05-2002, 12:33 PM

Nope, it's not that either.
I guess I thought it was easy to answer because it has to do with my major.

Bragolandune · 05-05-2002, 01:22 PM

i'll just say my guess again..is it a puppet?

Bragolandune · 05-05-2002, 01:25 PM

or maybe a theatre?

Frodo Baggins · 05-05-2002, 03:34 PM

Sorry, I forgot I posted a riddle. You all are really close but not close enough. What do you usually put in water to make it clean better? And, when that sort of water is combined with a puff of air, what results?

Frodo Baggins · 05-05-2002, 03:35 PM

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-06-2002, 05:06 PM

Bragolandune - it is not a puppet
The answer of "a theatre" is sooooooo close, it is something in the theatre (seeing as how a theatre means the lobby, seats and everything). You are so close the water is boiling!

Susan Delgado · 05-06-2002, 06:56 PM

Ah, good, I'm in theater [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

actor?
set?
booth?
sound equipment?
lights?
backstage techs? (I know this isn't it, but I had to say it. It's what I do in the productions [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])
something else that I didn't guess?

Hey, this was my 200th post! yay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ May 06, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-06-2002, 08:01 PM

Susan, everything you listed can be part of it (the answer was even in one of your replies, just not by itself).

Susan Delgado · 05-07-2002, 01:54 AM

A movie?

Lady_Báin · 05-07-2002, 07:37 AM

aha!! tigerlily yours is a stage (maybe?) its the only thing that susan did not mention [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lady_Báin · 05-07-2002, 07:41 AM

and frodo is yours soap or bubbles :S

Frodo Baggins · 05-07-2002, 08:49 AM

Hooray for Lady Bain!!! Yes, the answer is Bubbles.
