I've got a hole straight through my head

But haven't been slaughtered, so don't be misled

For I'll be nimble, I'll be quick

Cross over the ridges to hang with my click

Don't tell me it would be uncool

Perhaps you've forgotten to follow the rule

Or squeezed the trigger, you control

Whether you're hunted by cruising patrols

So cross your heart don't hope to die

When carnage ensues you'd better not fly

Just hold your ground, I'll cut no slack

You shouldn't deplore me for holding you back

And once you've lost the will to roam

With reeling abandon I'll slither back home

How about one of those rubber band powered airplane thingies?

with the be quick and nimble line it's Jack knife? Am not sure I know what seperates one of those from any other knife so dont really know what one looks like or if it has a hole in its head. But...

switchblade?

switchblade?

memories

shadows

Memory of Shadows or Shadow of Memories

crossbow?

Harpoon, think that's better.

Ok, I know I promised but blame it on Scottie, or the late lunch, or the unbelievably long line at the bank on a Friday afternoon before a three day weekend.

Also inspired by the slew of lists seen here most recently. Well here goes. You kids play amongst yourselves for a while.

1. Understands about greeting nary one existing question. (7)

2. Behold,you and me on the cross. (5)

3. Barely passing and the next one coming and going before crazy old sailor. (9)

4. Most elementary question in an Old World grouping one inside a shortened many. (7)

5. Asp and arch shapes around kid, that is. (7)

6. Roach before an exclamation, not outerspace existence. (6)

7. Total reversal of afterthought is more average sized. (4)

8. Look, man, twin Vipers move over mirrored in previous subcutaneous drip. (11)

9. Small spelling error encircled. NOTE: mass abreviated passport. (7)

0. Be quiet, alias last listed. Not me surrounding urban transit. (9)

The theme of the list and the "answers" will most likely come pretty quickly. The fun? is figuring out the rationale behind the translation.

For those new to these Play on Word Quickies: Each word or two (generally speaking) of the puzzle corresponds to a letter or two (generally speaking) "spelling" out the answer. Other descriptors can be thrown in refering to the relation of individual letters. The letters will "read" left to right as presented unless there is a descriptor that directs otherwise. For the most part, punctuation is not part of the answer but rather to make the clue read better. Other than that, the clues are very precise. There are no unnecessary words in the clues or extra letters in the answers.

Have a nice long weekend Scottie.

RacerX?

fishing rod

a rug or carpet?

Was so certain Scottie had it was surprised when I saw this resurrected.

flowers maybe sympathy wreath but that's kind of splittin hairs and two words.

Dont think either mortician or hearse were said outright so either of them?

To be or not to be, I'd rather be, so I am. The Canadian said this right when he left for a voyage across the vast blue ocean. You would think the example would take away the eye's perspective, but they don't so I will continue to be as I am. This film is Jenna-Rated...

Hehe I used a little bit of glazed logic here but not to the point where every word corresponds to a letter, search them out and have fun with it! -JB

Bonus, What is my name?

To be or not to be, I'd rather be, so I am (M). The Canadian said this (A) right when he left for a voyage across the vast blue ocean ©. You would think the example would take away the eye's perspective (E), but they don't so I will continue to be as I am. This film is Jenna-Rated...(X) So if we could find an (S) you might could get SEX CAM?

All I gots...

no takers on the hint?

Have taken it. Just cant suggest a place to put it. Kidding..., kinda. Still mulling it over.

No Doubt ?

Joy Division?

I think I'm pretty much stumped...

6.Bring in large water dweller -- ... whale?

8.Happy fall -- ?

9.Clingy 24th letter -- ... Ex?

11.Nix faithless -- No ?

12. Monsterous male kids -- Beastie Boys

Just jumped in at the bottom of this thread so dont really know more than CV's summary above

No Religion

Have looked but not found that last letter but think you must be right. Good stuff again Chess_Vixen. Gonna take

Austin Powers. Maybe? Have actually never seen any of those movies but kinda know the plot? and it seems to fit with the clue. Even sounds familiar that "to be so I am" maybe from a commercial/trailer/water cooler wire tap.

I know in most circles, country music is about as taboo as discussing politics or religion...but we've pretty much covered the pop and rap scene...I could go for the goth/underground/EBM bands...but I'm thinking there's a better chance of these bands being 'discovered'...

#1- Hardrock Spanish river

#2- Little rivers & Finished

#3- The Under Mason little birds

#4- Chuck Dannys musician's group

#5- Seamstress Fast

#6- Scallywag plains

#7- Belief mound

#8- Large & affluent

#9- short nail country pattern

#10- Lug about beneath tree

I figure 10 shouldn't be too hard for people to get...they're all contemporary..Have fun!

Oh, and

Carrie Underwood

Tayler Swift

and

Brad Paisley

Cowboy Junkies

think the last is actuall 11.

would be Alice in Chains

the who

Bright Eyes

May have been said

Solution]Look, it's more easy regardless,

Using both eyes.

Seeing no bad, after life's blueprint surprise.

"Look" = See = C

"it" = the one = A

"'s more" = is more = is plural = are = R

"easy regardless"

--"easy" = EC

--"regardless" = see less or C less

--EC-C = E

CARE

"Using both eyes" = II = two (Roman Numerals) = TO

TO

"Seeing no bad"

--"bad" = no good = ng

--"Seeing" = CEng

--"Seeing no bad" = CEng-ng = CE

"life's blueprint" = DNA

"surprise" is a director meaning startle, shake up or unexpected per Chicory.

--"Life's blueprint surprised" = DAN (in this case)

"after" is a director meaning CE is after DAN

DANCE

Thanks to tiger_lily111 and No1slight for their early input, Chicory for some key reasoning later and Scottie for sluffing off at work and figuring out the answer and a majority of the methodology and to Chess_Vixen for wrapping it up. Hope all who participated and those that have followed or othewise checked out this puzzle had a ball. Think some have had enough for now including myself. Will revisit this format after a while. May have to come up with a new twist to hold everyones interest. Let me know if you truly want more. Fun stuff.

If I've got this, I'm not taking credit for it...everyone else did the work, I'm just dropping in the last piece of the puzzle, as it were...

Seeing= CEE (?)

no bad= no evil, no E (used in some RPG's, i.e. D&D to denote evil alignment)

CEE-E= CE

after= directional, meaning after DNA.

DNACE, but DNA is a 'surprise' , so jumbled DAN+CE=DANCE

That's what I can glean....Thanks for another great POW!

You do indeed have it. Not a small piece of the work. Well done. The solution as I originally had it follows.

and even tho am trying not to think like this he did mention...

Maybe "right when" and "he left" = N and E ???????

ah m u s t be c o m e unnnn gl a z e dddddddddd.

thought he said the i am was M. Also Jenna rated and the title of the riddle make me think X or the movie title is an X rated one. Dont know forever why I would say that. just...
