But I’d gain a Tonto reference! Welcome back, Neel. Good to see you blogging again, too. I’ve had a bit of a slow period lately as well, but I’m back now.

Nilda, I can never be a good judge of how hard the references in my own riddles are. Maybe his wife’s cooking is so good that he’s forgotten all of the junk food of his youth.

And when Tonto rides through, I’m the one who leaves prints.

That’s a better line, but then you’d lose the literary reference.

We’re glad you’re here. The more the merrier!

The (?) wasn’t a “Who are you?” - it was more like a “Do you want us to call you n?”

Now I want Thin Mints.

SCOUT is correct. Way to go, Annalisa!

Welcome, n! (?)

Brian, mints = Thin Mints. Girl Scout Cookies.

Kimi, I agree they’re the best, especially with milk.

I had meant to work a Tonto reference in there somewhere. Scout was the name of his horse. Maybe the last line should have been:

And when Tonto rides through, I’m the one who leaves prints.

brian, the girl scouts sell their mint cookies as a fundraiser, and they’re the best mint cookies ever!

This was a good one! I still don’t get the “girls pushing mints” reference, but I like the sound of it.
