Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I sell ice cream to Wawa, and kids on the street;
Named for two on a job, which they did not complete;
I’m a short-running show starring Sergei and Peet;
And a strange form of dancing where partners compete.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

I’m a conference of nations; or teams, win or lose;
Superheroes for justice, or voters who choose;
I’m a measure of distance that Jules liked to use;
And a quality range that earns common reviews.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Both in cards and in sport, I can show that you’re skilled;
I’m the leg that won’t work; or the deer that you killed;
I’m a theory in math that continues to build;
And how soldiers preparing for war can be drilled.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

I’m the ram on the front of a popular truck;
A locale where a gunslinger tests out his luck;
How a slick politician when questioned can duck;
And evading a ball to avoid being struck.

Who am I?

I’m a nightclub or prison; or Spike Lee conceit;
Where your femur and tibia manage to meet;
What the House and the Senate together complete;
And a meeting of Chiefs for our fighting elite.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I’m a mother or father, but one step removed;
I am all about Benjamins, ten times improved;
I’m a fixture at concerts, not easily moved;
And a hot spot in Vegas that’s lion-approved.

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I am more than a bay, but I’m less than a sea;
I’m a musical tone or a trumpet’s decree;
When you’re writing a will, then you gotta be me;
And where sleep is concerned, I’m the best kind to be!

Who am I?

I’m a popular bird across martial arts styles;
Col. Hogan on TV, or Frasier and Niles;
I reach high at Home Depot when steered through the aisles;
And a lady in Psycho portrayed by Ms. Miles.

Thursday Morning Riddle: Thanksgiving Edition

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Happy Thanksgiving all!

I’m heading out of town for a few days. Have a great holiday weekend. And since Thanksgiving happens to fall on a Thursday this year (what were the odds), here’s a special (silly) Thankgiving Day riddle. Enjoy!

I’m a country that’s trying a teenaged Berliner;
If you roll me in bowling you might be the winner;
When you’re quitting it cold without drawing it thinner;
And what most of you likely are having for dinner!

Who am I?

I’m an elegant garment of velvet or wool;
I am worn by a count, but removed for a bull;
A vacation location enjoyed to the full;
And when Superman visits you, Jim says don’t pull.

Who am I?
