Riddle Me This! The Candy Cane Edition!

[gina2000]

In honor of the upcoming holidays (and my not-so-funny dentist).....


The word CANDY can be spelled using just 2 letters. Can you figure out how?

Morning

 

[Snowwark]

Good morning friends!

 

[oldkicker]

I played hoops last night, my regular Thursday Night out. I had a GREAT night!!! I'd been in a bit of a slump recently but broke out in a big way last night.

I'm crediting going on vacation and being a whole lot more stress-free with my good night.

Doncha just LOVE vacations? Especially those that really relax and renew you?

I do.

 

[gina2000]

I ADORE vacations. Can't live without them. And I'm always planning one!

Unfortunately, I don't play hoops. The vacation certainly did nothing for my riddling capabilities! LOL LOL LOL

 

[mickey65]

I am counting the days till Christmas Vacation!

Glad you had a good game OK!

PM sent

 

[gina2000]

For Bernie!

 

[Lars624]

Good Morning!!! Happy Friday!!!
Vacations really do renew you!

 

[gina2000]

For Mickey65 (who got the answer and an absolutely great alternate!)

 

[gina2000]

TGIF is right! Unfortunately, TGIF means ONE DAY CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS with NOTHING DONE!!!!

Though yesterday I did manage to pretty much finish the tree. Now I just have to do the village and the train set. By the time I get it up, it will be time to take it down!

I also did some shopping yesterday. I'm stumped on some people though.


Anyone else losing it????

 

[oldkicker]

Speaking of candy - Sharon and I were out shopping the other day and we came across an item in the checkout line that freaked Sharon right out.....

It was a candy mouthguard!!! Just like the football players wear, except made of candy!!!!!

Who in the wolrd came up with that concept???!!

 

[mickey65]

Doing the Happy Dance.....6 more school days..WoooooHooooo

[gina2000]

For Lars 624......

The alternate of choice!


And now the official!

Guys, forgive me....this art is so big the thread would be 10 miles long!

 

[oldkicker]

Love the candy cane, Gina!

 

[mickey65]

With this candy riddle the Candy Man song has popped into my head......the one for Willy Wonka. Anyone remember that song?

 

[Snowwark]

Congrats on having a heck of a hoop night Bernie!

I'm so behind on Christmas Gina, I'm sure we didn't get as much notice of it coming as last year!!

 

[gina2000]

Bernie....I am ashamed to admit.....my son wanted one of those things and I bought it for him in a moment of weakness.

I scrubbed his teeth to high heaven after he was finished, though.

I know, I know.....the dentist was right.....



I DO love Candy Canes. So festive and cheerful.

I have a recipe to make them. Quite complicated. As a matter of fact, after listing the ingredients and technique, the cookbook author suggested going out and buying them......

I remember it, Mickey...

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
Candy Man, a-Candy Man, a-Candy Man
