I first rise in Japan; for the Brits, never set;
I’m an athlete of Phoenix who drives to the net;
A Connecticut spot where you might place a bet;
And I brought to the Web its first Java applet.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Sara. See comments for answer.
I am Born to Run, Abbey Road, plus Purple Rain;
I’m comedian Chris, and a wrestler named Dwayne;
In engagement, the diamond your ring can contain;
I’m a popular candy, and also cocaine.
Who am I?

I’m a step up in pitch; or a drop that is sheer;
I’m a cheddar with bite; or a merciless jeer;
I’m a mind that is lucid; a picture that’s clear;
I’m the blade of the sword; I’m the tip of the spear.
Who am I?

On computers, I’m documents folders possess,
But in real life, the folder, preventing a mess;
I’m a column for soldiers, or pieces in chess;
And a tool that you’d use to remove the excess.
Who am I?

On your heart, I’m a vow; in your mind, how thoughts flowed;
How a star moves on stage; or a chicken, the road;
I am Red; I am Blue; I’m an Hourglass Toad;
And a term for your mood when you’re fit to explode.
Who am I?

I am South by Southwest; I am North by Northeast;
When presented with Power, I’m bullets, at least;
I’m the moment in water where steam is released;
And a single percentage that dropped or increased.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.
When in bridge, I’m the suit that is mostly desired;
When I’m up, I’m false charges that have been conspired;
When I’m last, I can wake those already expired;
But you probably know me for saying “You’re fired!”
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.
I’m the final frontier, as a few would suggest;
I loom large on the keyboard, but nothing when pressed;
I’m a Washington needle; your car’s place to rest;
And I’m traded on TV, as Paige can attest.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by a Glo County H.S. student. See comments for answer.
I’m the shape of the world, whether circle or sphere;
I’m a cartridge of ammo; or eighteen holes clear;
I’m a lean cut of meat from the back of the steer;
And the tab to buy each of your buddies a beer.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.
I’m a place in the mall to buy burgers or soup;
When I’m Kangaroo, crooked; or ‘roos in a group;
To go after a date or show up on her stoop;
And a place to play sports with a net or a hoop.
Who am I?
