Thanksgiving Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 28th, 2019

On Thanksgiving dessert tables, I can be found;
I’m a parlor-baked pizza; a chart that is round;
In the sky, I am lofty; when humble, I ground;
And I share with a number the way that I sound.

Who am I?

There, my blessing with thee.
And these few precepts in thy memory

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 21st, 2019

I’m a job for musicians, like concerts or tours;
An economy based on folks doing odd chores;
I’m a chair for a horse; I’m a boat with six oars;
And a unit for what a computer drive stores.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 14th, 2019

I’m a table for workshops; remove from the game;
Where a judge sits in court; catcher Johnny’s last name;
How you lift the amount of the weight that you claim;
And a long wooden seat made of slats in a frame.

Who am I?

His unjust unkindness, that in all reason should have quenched her love, hath, like an impediment in the current, made it more violent and unruly.

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 7th, 2019

I’m a cut or a scrape where peroxide should bubble;
A minor mistake that will not cause much trouble;

And twice last week’s answer – just type it in double!

Who am I?

Shakespeare Anagram: Measure for Measure

Saturday, November 2nd, 2019

From Measure for Measure:

I love the people,
But do not like to stage me to their eyes.
Though it do well, I do not relish well
Their loud applause and aves vehement,
Nor do I think the man of safe discretion
That does affect it.

Shift around the letters, and it becomes:

Trump was booed, a lot, at the World Series venue.

He thought the likelihood of monumental attendee reception lifted after he took the noted ISIS villain.

The vocal people didn’t satisfy his ego.
