Riddle me this!!!???

[dianeschlicht]

Paris starts with a P and ends with an E. Explain how this is so.

[dianeschlicht]

Good morning riddle buds! My cable modem has been slow ever since our big storms this weekend. It is quite frustrating. I type, but the words don't show up right away!:rolleyes:

[Ranatra]

Good Morning Riddlers!!
They are promising us rain for today and cooler temperatures starting tomorrow.

[dianeschlicht]

That is what we are sending your way, Ranatra! We had 3 1/2 inches of rain Sunday, and now it is only 69 out this morning. We have had a VERY wet summer. It is good for the farmers, though! Everything is so green this year! I understand most of the country is in a drought, but not here!

[gina2000]

Good Morning, Riddlers one and all!

I've been up for hours! Don't know why....but here I am!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Looks overcastish so far this morning, but I've seen that change in a heartbeat around here!

Bad thunderstorms in this area on Friday night. Knocked out power to the north and south of us. We remained, thankfully, intact!

Got an idea! LOL

[dianeschlicht]

Gina, I am not sure what part of the country you live in, but it sounds like our weather this weekend!

[yepod]

Good morning to all the riddle groupies!

Welcome back Gina (I missed you):( ;)

Clueless as yet!

[gina2000]

Joisey, Diane!

Southern NY and NJ got hammered this weekend. Violent T-storms.

It's inevitable for this time of the year. This set of storms was particularly nasty, however.

We need the rain, though. And lots more of it.

[yepod]

Diane, I think it's Joysee;)

She keeps the exact location secret for obvious reasons;) ;)

[gina2000]

LOL, yepod!

Like the flu, I suspect! :p ;)

[yepod]

Boy. you are wide awake Gina! Can't get one up on you darlin;)

[dianeschlicht]

LOL! Gina! I thought I detected an accent!

[gina2000]

Nope. You can't.

Consider yourself lucky. That or run.

:p :p :p ;)

[dianeschlicht]

What is up with 11 responses but no views??? We must be faster than the server!

[gina2000]

Please, Diane. Snowwark and her DH make fun of my accent all the time. ESPECIALLY DH! I called them when they were at Disney in February and they replayed the message several times and hooted over my accent.

:mad: :mad: :mad:


Payback. :smooth:

[dianeschlicht]

We lived in upstate NY for 4 years right after we were married. I know that accent well!

Poor Gina! She can't forget her first answer! You have the wrong word, dear! I am sure you will figure it out in the end!;)

[yepod]

What about Kim's accent, Gina? Not that I would know!

And you don't scare me Gina:p :p :p :p :p :p

Come beat me up at the Battle Creek meet in 2 weeks. (Oh that's right, you know I LIKE that LOL);) :eek: ;) :eek:

[gina2000]

Diane, I have a Sopranos type accent. Modified. Refined. Cultured.....yeah, right, Gina....who you trying to kid????


I can't forget my first response BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT!

LOL!

[gina2000]

Yepod, I don't scare anyone. At least I don't think I do.

Though I can through a mean tantrum when necessary........


BATTLE CREEK???? THERE REALLY IS a BATTLE CREEK???


LOL....I figured it was a Kellogg's marketing ploy.......;) :p

[dianeschlicht]

It was a creek where a battle was held!http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/family/talker.gif

[dianeschlicht]

You two still battling to the end!? I love to watch your banter here on the riddle in the mornings!

[snoopy]

That accent is rather amusing, Gina, I must say. :)

PM on its way.

[dianeschlicht]

ALL RIGHT GINA AND YEPOD!!! Pay attention! I have given you 2 REALLY GOOD clues! WHERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS??

[gina2000]

Yeah, Snoops. Right.

Baltimore.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[gina2000]

We are cogitating, Diane.

Planning.

Plotting.

PAREE-ING!

OOOOH LA LA!!!!!


hehehehehehehehehe!

[dianeschlicht]

Snoopy!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[gina2000]

Must be a riddle for a 5 year old.

:p

[dianeschlicht]

See, Gina...IT CAN BE DONE!!!!http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/family/longt.gif

[snoopy]

LOL Gina. Yeah, Baltimore mixed with going to college in New York. I'm doomed for a career in radio. :(

[yepod]

Gina's my foil,Diane;)

It's her rapier wit I love;)

[gina2000]

Ain't it the truth, Snoops? Maybe we can be the DC version of Mike and the Mad Dog and do Riddle Radio!

LOL LOL LOL LOL

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CLUE.....END ! END! END!

I DON'T HAVE A CLUE! END! END! END!

[yepod]

Is that French Tish?!?!?!

YOu know what that does to your ol Gomez:eek: :eek: ;) :p

[dianeschlicht]

lol, Snoops! For me you could add a lot of "Minnesotan" too! Our DD was born in upstate NY, and still carries a little of the accent.

[Patrick IL.]

Good morning all! I sent a pm, although its rather lame:rolleyes:

[gina2000]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

MY WIT??? (hehehehe....witless wonder that I am!)


And I thought you loved me for my accent. ;)

[yepod]

It's that laugh that's intoxicating:eek: :eek: :eek: ;)

Give it up Snoops! I could sure use a clue (that works) here!

Ya Diane, end just doesn't do it for me LOL

[dianeschlicht]

Lol, Gina!!! We love you IN SPITE of your wit and accent!:p

Marla, these are for you!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[gina2000]

Well, the NITWIT is ENDLESSLY CLUELESS

[dianeschlicht]

For the still clueless...Gina and Yepod ...

This is not necessarily one for a 5 year old, but definately one OK would think of!!:rolleyes:

[dianeschlicht]

Maybe instead of alternate pants today, we need an alternate riddle!!!

Here goes:

What does a man usually do on 2 legs, a dog on 3 legs, but a LADY is allowed to do sitting down?

[gina2000]

Yeah, right, Diane.

BLAME BERNIE!!!!!

[gina2000]

I must be living in an alternate universe.

That second riddle makes me giggle.

Where's a Mod when you need one.........:p :p ;) :p ;)

[snoopy]

Here's a clue:

Gina's accent is Enchanting, with a capital E. :)

[spb999]

Good Morning all !!

Will think about Paris ... have one idea that I might give a try, but Diane probably has something else in mind !!

Enjoyed my few days at the lake in NH ..... could not escape the heat though ..... pretty toasty up north - but some nice cool water to jump into ! Luckily the storms stayed to the south of us
on Friday .....

Heading for Joisey on Saturday for a few days by the shore with
my whole family ......

Happy Monday everyone !

[dianeschlicht]

Not blaming Bernie, just trying to think like him!! By the way, Anyone know when the riddle meister is supposed to return? I can't wait for our "trick"!!

[dianeschlicht]

Get your mind out of the gutter, Gina! No mod needed for the alternate. ;)

[snoopy]

Entertaining, yet Enchanting

[gina2000]

Thanks, Snoops.

For the compliments.

Even if they are cluEs.

I believe I'm onto something.

It may be the road to hell....but hey.....it's somewherE. :p

[dianeschlicht]

All right.....CLUES!!!

For the official riddle, think of word beginnings.

For the alternate...It is not a potty riddle!

[gina2000]

Now, Diane. I was thinking like Bernie.

JUST LIKE BERNIE!

And it's wrong, wrong, wrong.......AGAIN!

LOL LOL LOL LOL

I really gotta get that salt water buildup outta my ears.....must be affecting my ability to think........

[dianeschlicht]

DbleD These are for you on getting the official riddle!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[CathyCanada]

Good Monday morning, riddlers! hope those of you who had bad weather have a better day today! I think we must be getting a storm, woke up with a pounding headache but still sent Diane multiple answers! ;)
Hope you all have a great day!
Cathy

[dianeschlicht]

Baboo! These are for the official riddle!http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[DixieDreamer]

Good morning all!

We are cooled down here as well. Highs are forecasted only in the 80's this week... and some storm systems are moving through. DD starts another two week session of swim lessons - so hopefully it won't get too cool or nasty (for her sake). :)

Am I the first to get pants this morning? Or did I miss the previous one's being doled out. If so, I think that is a first for me (being first that is!).

[dianeschlicht]

Glo!! Good work today!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

Marla, You have the alternate riddle answer too! I can't find the daily double, so I will just give you double pants!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[oldkicker]

Good morning, Riddle Buds!!! :D

I'm back from 9 days in beautiful South Colton, NY. We had a lovely stretch of weather - mid-80's all week and just a couple of rainy moments.

I am stretching and yawning and trying to remember what it is, exactly, that I do for a living around here!

I hope that all is well with you and yours!

Diane - I'll be back to figure out this riddle in a bit.

I just wanted to say HI!!!! :D

[dianeschlicht]

Baboo!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[Baboo]

Good morning all! pm sent for the second riddle. I don't know what I'll do with 2 pairs of pants in this heat though. I don't wear pants when it's this hot (I wear dresses). We were supposed to get rain last night, but all we saw were a few drops at DMIL's before we left to come home. It's supposed to be cooler tomorrow and Wednesday, so I hope that they're right about that at least!
We had a short visit with DFIL yesterday in the hospital. He's out of intensive care and up on the surgical ward. They've actually had him out of bed, and he's taken a few steps, so things look hopeful. Thanks again for all of you thoughts and prayers for him.
Well, I have to run and get ready for work. Talk to you later and have a great day all!

[dianeschlicht]

Well, the prodigal kicker returns!!!!

I would say we didn't miss you a bit, but that would be wrong!!!

Glad you had a good vacation! Now get with these official and alternate riddle answers, Meister!!!

[Baboo]

Bernie! Nice to see you! Welcome home! Glad to hear that you had a good vacation, but we miss you around here.

[dianeschlicht]

Baboo, so glad to hear your DFIL is doing better. Here is praying that trend continues!

[dianeschlicht]

BTW, OK! No fair looking at the past riddles!!! You might see something you don't want to!!!:rolleyes:

[TXTIGGR]

Howdy Folks.

OOO OOO OOO... I HAVE A QUESTION FIRST, on the riddle!

Are we talking Paris, FR ... OR Paris, Texas?

'*** the answer might would depend on which Parie we're talking about, right?

BTW, I rate Jersey accents right up their with Jersey tomato's. ;)

"Sweet and mushy". :p

[spb999]

PM sent on the alternate riddle ....... still dreaming of Paris !

[gina2000]

MUSHY TOMATOES???? TXT.....NO WAY!!!!!!

LOL.....Jersey tomatoes are the epitomy of serendipity! LOL

:p :p :p :p :p



Hi, Bernie.

[dianeschlicht]

SPB99

You get the alternate!
http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

I haven't heard the end of the first one from you yet, though!!!;)

[dianeschlicht]

Alternate riddle answer for you too, YEPOD!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

Now let's get with the REAL one!!!

[dianeschlicht]

TxT, I forgot to answer you...It doesn't matter WHICH Paris it is!! It all comes out in the end!

[spb999]

Welcome back OK !

[iluvorlando]

Good Morning fellow riddlers!! PM sent for both. Though I still don't know if I got them!

Out to run errands, check back in a bit!

[dianeschlicht]

Breezy Carol! You get the original one!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[CathyCanada]

[dianeschlicht]

Webmastercathy!!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

Four strikes, but you are NOT out!

[dianeschlicht]

Pumba, I am not ignoring you, I just can't get your PM to open! All I get is a blank page!

[TXTIGGR]

Welcome Back OK, we've missed you.

Hope you've recovered from your adventure/survival course,
or camping trip if you prefer.... LOL

Looking forward to some interesting bear stories.

Speaking of Paris, went into NYC yesterday to see the NY Cycling Championship and watch Tour de France Champ Lance Armstrong.

Kasie's first bike race. And I tell you, she was thrilled, just thrilled watching all the peoples' legs. LOL

But I can honestly say it was very exciting.
Hot day but exciting race.

BTW, how many of you nuts going to DisCon II this year?

:) :) :)

[dianeschlicht]

Pumba! These are for the official first riddle!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

TxT, I can't make Discon. We are out of vacation time for awhile.

[TXTIGGR]

... and I mean that in my most sincere Jack Nicholson accent ...


(not to be confused with my most Joisey accent ;) )

[dianeschlicht]

Carol G THAT'S A DOUBLE!!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[DixieDreamer]

TXTIGGR - I will be at DIS CON this year. :)

[CarolG]

{Yawn} Good morning all! PM sent...

I'm taking a couple of days off with the kids before school starts Wednesday, so I'm getting a late start this morning. We're also having the house painted this week, and the crew has just started pressure washing outside. Our German Shepherd is going nuts!

:wave: Hi Bernie! Welcome back!

TxT, I'll be here with the non-Con crew... First year college expenses don't leave a lot of disposable income.:rolleyes: (We're trying to do as much as we can without loans.)

Is anybody else getting the dreaded "Server Busy" message this morning?:confused:

[dianeschlicht]

I will be out for awhile. I have to go get allergy shots. They make us wait 30 minutes after the shots, so I should be home in an hour. Just keep sending those cards and letters in (PMs), and I will answer when I return!

[yepod]

Diane, what do you mean "I think":mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

You're starting to get more like Bernie everyday;)

I thought it was Gina that blamed Bernie when her riddlin went south:p :p :p

Baboo, good news about DFIL:D Thanks for the update & continued good thoughts for his full recovery!!!

[gina2000]

Admit it, yepod......you're really me dressed in drag......:p :p :p :p



I'll be at DISCON. Scary thought.


Baboo.....just went back and saw your post! Good news! Now THAT'S something worth cheering about!!!!!

[Kitty 34]

Good morning everyone!! Don't have a clue on the riddle but what's new!!:p


Hubby is celebrating his 50th birthday today...hard to believe he's been around a half a century!!

Yepod, really looking forward to meeting you soon!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[dianeschlicht]

Pumba! You get the double pants!

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif

[dianeschlicht]

Good morning Kitty! There are quite a few clues floating around here. You may have to read between the lines though! Be sure to try and answer BOTH riddles!

[dianeschlicht]

I wonder where OK is!? He poked his head in here for a second and hasn't been back!

[dianeschlicht]

Yepod!

<marquee direction="right">http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif</marquee>

I had to go get some work done:(

But when I get back I see I got my third set of pants;) Thanks Diane!!!!!

Gina, ya KNOW what I look like, so are you that handsome in a dress :eek: :p :eek: :p (And there ya go telling another of my secrets about me crossdressing):eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad:
I can't wait to see you (& other DISers we haven't seen yet) from the post DISCon picture posts:jester: :jester: :jester:

Kitty, I'm definately looking forward to meeting you & your DH in less than 2 weeks! He and I can reminisce about our first half century LOL;)
I bet he's not worried about what HE'S going to wear is he?;) ;) ;) ;)

[dianeschlicht]

Actually, Yepod, I dileted the stationry ones where I said "I think", and gave you running ones!

[yepod]

Oh, sure.............treat me like a dog:(

Actually in your case Diane, that would be quite well I'm sure;) ;) ;)

Dogs don't beg on three legs do they Diane;)

[oldkicker]

Whew....

Work is much more time consuming than vacation.....

I gotta figure out a way to get paid to go on vacation...;)

PM's sent, Diane!

WONDERFUL to see you all again...

I'll be at DISCon.....I do think I'll be in drag but I may be draggin' a couple of mornings there.....looking forward to it immensely! :D

[CRB#33]

Hey Bernie, welcome back!

I think you need to change your tag!:p

Hi all! I was going to post on a day when my brain was working, but it's very mushy today!

[dianeschlicht]

Sorry I couldn't get back today. Things get kind of hectic around here these days. I had to go teach at 1:30, and didn't have time to get back here until after 10.

Catching up!!!
