Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

I am musical storage, as jockeys might spin;
I’m the joint in the spine that holds vertebrae in;
I’m the Frisbee that’s thrown for the ultimate win;
And the brake on your car with its pads wearing thin.

Who am I?

I’m a shot used in volleyball, slammed to the floor;
To put liquor in something that had none before;
How a footballer celebrates running to score;
And a spot in a graph that shows suddenly more.

Who am I?

I’m a condiment commonly found on your tray;
To hit balls to your fielders, not too far away;
I’m a veggie with kick; I’m a dangerous spray;
And the Sergeant who once taught the band how to play.

Who am I?

I’m the way that a voice can give comfort or sting;
I’m an older phone’s cue; or a newer phone’s ring;
The impression of feelings an author can bring;
And a rapper who’d like you to do the Wild Thing.

Who am I?

I’m a covered coach wagon that horses pull through;
I’m to organize protests, a strike, or a coup;
I’m a spot for a play, or a vaudeville revue;
I’m each age named by Jaques, and all the world, too!

Who am I?

I am feeling a loss with a sense of regret;
Put the ball in no hoop, put the puck in no net;
I’m an Ole football team; beauty queen epithet;
Or a title for girls who are not married yet.

Who am I?

I’m a layer that floats on the liquid below;
Educational strips; or to shoot video;
The old cameras need me, but digital, no;
And a movie that theatres are ready to show.

Who am I?

I’m a pastime or hobby you choose to embrace;
When policemen or hunters embark on a chase;
I’m a trivial game; I’m a stagger-start race;
And the happiness-seeking the Founders gave place.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

I’m a cell in a prison; or store in a boat;
Keep a bill off the floor, thus preventing a vote;
I’m suspending a call; or sustaining a note;
And a grip used in wrestling that might choke your throat.

Who am I?

I’m a drug-induced dream had while mostly awake;
When you jet off to Europe, or drive to the lake;
I’m the guilt that’s laid on; when a circuit you break;
When you stumble by foot; or make any mistake.

Who am I?
