Brandonb Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 This is the office, I sit and I wait I'm not going anywhere, not at this rate. I don't have a choice, I need to be here Come on I'm waiting, call me this year. When I get called for, it doesn't seem real but my friend next to me, he knows the deal. First I begin, I feel so far away Then my friend next to me joins in the gray. I flip through a magazine, and watch lives go by like turning a page they look up at the sky. If all goes well I may get a new heart If I am quick, and if I am smart. What am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Brandonb Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I would have to guess.I'm a person playing cards waiting for a heart to give me a good hand sitting next to the dealer. It does kinda sound alot like a card game. except it doesn't explain "I don't have a choice, I need to be here" eh, you get (as itachi called it) 1/2 kudos for that one, it fits very well. I can give a hint if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I know this isn't the answer, but still: This is the office, I sit and I wait - easy I'm not going anywhere, not at this rate. - never leaves the printer (except when changed or filled), even when it moves I don't have a choice, I need to be here - printer need ink Come on I'm waiting, call me this year. - it waits for you to call on it to work, "this year" means a long time I'm guessing,but it also means this year. When I get called for, it doesn't seem real - the image it prints isn't the real thing but my friend next to me, he knows the deal. - there's usually another cartridge, one black and one color First I begin, I feel so far away - starts at the top of the page, could feel far from the bottom, especially if it's a slow printer Then my friend next to me joins in the gray. - the other cartridge joins it to make gray I flip through a magazine, and watch lives go by - a magazine of paper in the printer (like a magazine in a gun, I actually think the term magazine is used for a pile of paper put into a printer sometimes), the lives are tree lives like turning a page they look up at the sky. - the pages turn up-side down while in the printer and the cartridge "watches" them face up toward the sky If all goes well I may get a new heart - if the cartridge is functional it will be all used up and then can get a refill = new heart If I am quick, and if I am smart. hopefully it's in a quick and smart machine, then it will get used a lot Had to defend that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, 1/2 to that explanation. not just because it was a good answer, but because part of it was on the right track for the real answer.

0 Brandonb Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 maybe? soldier in the reserves? the heart being a purple heart... You got it! you get the Kudos Steve Not that there weren't other great answers that suited the OS very well. I need to figure out how to make these things air tight and bullet proof like some other members can (Itachi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If all goes well I may get a new heart If I am quick, and if I am smart. A purple heart is received for being injured in battle. I wouldn't necessarily call that going well. Nor does one need to be particularly quick or smart to receive one. I do like the idea of the riddle, though. Had me thinking for a while.

Question
Brandonb
This is the office, I sit and I wait
I'm not going anywhere, not at this rate.
I don't have a choice, I need to be here
Come on I'm waiting, call me this year.
When I get called for, it doesn't seem real
but my friend next to me, he knows the deal.
First I begin, I feel so far away
Then my friend next to me joins in the gray.
I flip through a magazine, and watch lives go by
like turning a page they look up at the sky.
If all goes well I may get a new heart
If I am quick, and if I am smart.
What am I?
