Shakespeare Anagram: Othello

Saturday, August 29th, 2015

From Othello:

Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war!

Shift around the letters, and it becomes:

Marble renter Donald single-handedly ruining prim GOP presidential hope with hateful quotes, gruff actions, and racist thralls cheering him.

We truly appreciate it, Mr. Firer.

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 27th, 2015

I proceed on the clock; on the farm, I assist;
I’m a round of applause; I’m attached at the wrist;
I’m a pledge asked for marriage; where gentlemen kissed;
And the cards you are dealt playing poker or whist.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a liquid dispenser for water or beer;
I’m a kind of a dance you can see and can hear;
Send a message in Morse; install listening gear;
And remove from the spine excess fluid that’s clear.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a sack for your back that a camper might use;
To put clothes in your suitcase to take on a cruise;
I’m a new deck of cards; I am ice for a bruise;
I’m a cigarette box; and six linked cans of booze.

Who am I?
