Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I’m a cab with a meter to take you around;
I’m a sitcom where Marilu Henner was found;
When an airplane is moving but still on the ground;
Or a partner for dancers at ten cents per round.

Who am I?

I’m feeling indecisive and meter-challenged this morning, so here are three versions of this morning’s riddle. Enjoy!

I’m a gathering social, cocktail or costume;
I’m a group of politicos in the back room;
I’m a person in contracts, so not to presume;
And a member of weddings, with bride and her groom.

I’m a gathering social, with Chex Mix and booze;
I am voters who share their political views;
I’m a person in contracts, so not to confuse;
And a member of weddings, with dresses and shoes.

I’m a gathering social, with Chex Mix and punch;
When selecting a candidate, share the same hunch;
I’m a person in contracts, but sometimes a bunch;
And a member of weddings, rehearsal through brunch.

Who am I?

I’m a game where you hope your oppenent swerves now;
I am often afraid when my friends can’t see how;
A domestic farm fowl that’s companion to Cow;
And a meat-lover’s staple, just ask General Tsao.

Who am I?

On the basketball court, you might find me obstructed;
I am profits you clear with expenses deducted;
I take butterflies captive, plus fish are abducted;
I’m where e-mail is sent, and the Web is constructed.

Who am I?

I’m a place you can carry the items you’ve got;
Heed my microwave warning: my filling gets Hot;
I’m a zone of resistance; a quarterback’s spot;
And a hole in the pool table – take your best shot.

Who am I?

I’m diminutive cakes you bake six to a pan;
I’m worn high on a woman; and low on a man;
I’m a half-pint of milk, an eight-ounce soda can;
And America’s race for a catamaran.

I’m a feat that’s unmatched, for the future to break;
In a corporate meeting, the minutes you take;
I’m a list of a criminal’s every mistake;
Or a musical album an artist might make.

I come after the cold, but before too much heat;
I’m a coil for beds or a vehicle seat;
Where an aquifer’s water and ground surface meet;
I’m the pep in your step; or an offer to treat.

Who am I?

I’m the home of the Factor, and right-leaning chat;
Or of Mulder and Scully; and Mulder at that;
A carnivorous beast, with good fur for a hat;
Or a good-looking human, like Megan or Matt.

Who am I?

I’m the sound that you hear around flowers in June;
I’m the hero of Star Command; been to the moon;
I’m the action to take before naming that tune;
And the haircut that’s worn by an army platoon.

Who am I?
