That's too good an answer to not take it as an alternate. (That's what I get for changing the riddle at the last minute.) I'll let it keep going for today at least in case anyone wants to take a crack at my intended answer.

Though secretive I am not We'll have a ball, but -have a care! Suspended, nigh unchanging (In use, you cannot breathe in here) I've been screwed over many times My lips are sealed up tight Because of me, many learn And some laugh at the night

Here's where I find the sticking point to this debate: Once you give rep points (positive or negative) to a post, you can't then remove them later. I think it's fair for a person to decide they wouldn't have given a post rep points except to vote in this game situation & want to return to "neutral" for that post after voting is closed. So, if rookie can (after all, it might not be an option in the current set up) AND is willing (it might be a pain in the a$$) to allow members to change the status of the reps they've given on a post, I think it's fair for members to make up their own mind about changing the status of their "vote" after voting is closed for that subject. If not, well - continue as we've begun is probably the easiest. At the very least, there should be absolutely NO DOWN-REPPING for the current voting.

The thieves were rounded up like the masked bandits they were - dang furry little racoons!

I love school so much that I may have to join Students for Life (Anonymous) to get help because I'm considering going back to school (AGAIN) for a PhD this time, and isn't that just insane???

Since it's currently a 3-way tie, and it *is* time for today to be over (so why am I still at work then??), a little eenie meenie miney moe was used to determine that today's winner is ... Bong, you're up! (Edit for: Sorry maurice & Zweefer, but in the end you have to blame it on the "moe".)

Nah, I just have my moments. (& my whacked sense of humor) Alrighty then - Living chiefly on cheese ...

& when you press this screwdriver into the electrical socket, realize that: 1)It's a bad idea in the first place. 2)It's an even worse idea if the power isn't off. 3)Though your hair may do an Einstein, you are still an idiot. And 4)If you die, I get all your stuff.

I've considered asking y'all about down-repping on this topic after the day's phrase is done - because in a way I don't think it's "fair" to give someone rep points for a game that's only about gaining rep points. (Though I think I'd get yelled at, from what I'm seeing.) But to each their own. Again, I don't care if you want to remove my rep points FROM THIS TOPIC because it's a game. Though I'd be a little miffed if you down-repped one of my riddles or replies elsewhere that wasn't salacious or inappropriate. Moving on ... It appears to be a tie between Unicorn Meat & Anti-teamwork. Sorry Bong, but I'm afraid unicorn spam trumps working against each other in this instance. You're up fabpig!

*shrug* I don't care, especially if it's this topic & only AFTER the day's voting is done. But that's just me.

You definitely should ... except when it comes to food.

Your first is, in fact, exactly what I'm looking for.

Sorry brix, what I have in mind is absolutely used to preserve.

Next up: Together we can ...

Sorry LJ, not what I'm looking for. Another good guess, but too close to the clues, which only point in the direction of the intended answer.

In Soviet Russia, vodka is water & snow is like beach. Go to beach and bring water is excellent party. (Hope my Ruskie friends don't come after me.)
