  1. You guys dont have it yet. Getting closer I feel. Working off the concept of old I think is helpful. HM, no movie reference here,. DD and DN, yours are very well conceived and match perfectly for the first half of the riddle but fall off a little toward the end. EDM, you had a great line of thought yesterday which was closer than these two.

    Edit: DudleyDude, you had verses 2 and 3.
  3. Good guesses all. Your first one from before I would call a little closer than these.

    Could be one you love, But it doesn't look quite right, Give the thesaurus a shove, Mixed up tags will make you bright. The link is amidst the sands, It truncates down to one, But the meaning stands, It will end the run. The finale can be a farmer, Mostly red or black, but not tan, A shuffled hint is in the former, A weightlifter, but not a man. Dude- you got anything?

    Another partial guess.
  6. Am almost afraid to say but please dont be very upset. Probably not any consolation but you slipped on an intentional misdirection. So not a perfect ten. am guessing the word splitting? and maybe metaphorically the pedestal young gymnasts are put on?
  7. Nice imagery as always, Deanna. Will continue to ponder....
  8. no, sorry. "not intended to stab" mostly just rhymes with jab but it's meaning is meant to be literal here (and not really consequential as few things are meant to stab).
  9. yeah, not it. Cleansed? Not religious myself, but dont think those are meant to get rid of....

    Have great interest in this one. Wonderfully tough. Have been at it for some time and cant put it together This one may need to be solved by committee. Any input? (hope you dont mind if we cheat SvenJOLLY)
  11. Hello there ajham. Welcome to the Den. Thanks so much for using the spoiler. Impressive for a first poster as is what you've guessed. Your answer(s) are not what I meant for this line (or the riddle as a whole) but I really like how you're thinking. There are other instances within this riddle that do have meaning not necessarily as would be usual and also best discerned if read literally.
  12. no, sorry DD, got you with a right hook. please have another go, stick and jab, you know....
  13. see where you're coming from but not it. No, not one of those.
  14. You were right MrsP. Not it. And the track laid recently was on route. Riddle you tomorrow...
  15. Funny, feel like I read somewhere you hate those. Not them. Keep a goin'. Edit: Am on my way out the door, headed for home. Be back shortly. Should be solved when I return.
  16. quick thought, good thought, not it though.
  17. No, you were closer with post #28...
  18. No 'fraid not. Another lofty guess tho.
  19. No(t it), so sorry I missed it. That end of the page issue. Just happened to notice this post as it too was already on the previous page. Will try to be more careful. Edit: you got me with the double negative. too much caffeine. And your guess from this post is not it.
  20. No but excellent guess, please keep at it.
  21. Your guess is not it. Myself, am impossibly punctual, but think my wife may have such a chronograph.
