For starters I'm sounding triumphant.
Participating in which I tell.
An emotionally uncertain primary
and now coming back down as well.

If we are taking about chess pieces I would have to say the Bishop.. Never alone (always at least one other piece(King)) and the only piece to stay on one color...
yeah, think you guys have the answer
game.

well done plainglazed!
the answer is "fiber optic cable" or just "fiber optics"
for those of you curious about the clues:
Before there was me, 29 stood for the task, (29 is the atomic number for copper, which is being replaced by fiber optics in telecom & datacom)
We often stretch side by side, though I will outlast. (most parts of the world are using both copper and fiber, but fiber is the way of the future)
I can only go so far, and than an arc I must face, (fiber cables can only be so long, and then a fusion splice or electrical arc is used to join it to another cable)
Across long distances I go, carrying my parcels place to place. (data is carried in waves of light in fiber optic cables)
Sometimes I bring to you, other times I take it on the road, (2 way transfer of data)
It is you, not me, that chooses the contents of my load. (pretty straightforward)
Well done by you as well.
"parcels" and where that led and misled me.
Ended up helping.

the white king?
a white chess piece?
Cant decide

the white king?

my response is embarrassing as well, John B.
breast augmentation?
Cant wrap my hand around why I would even think of such.

Al Gore, the founder of the internet before he discovered Global Warming?
Dont get me wrong, I greatly admire the man. No politics tho!
or
the internet

An Encyclopedia
Sorry, no. hugemonkey got it as you may know. didnt spoil it if you want to go on.
-
You are right. Thanks to all who participated. Alot of fun. For those who are still in the game....
Spoiler for a last HINT: -
Am having trouble keeping up here and at work. Have to step out of the Den but will return soon.
-
agree. the title does, too.
But does the second part require two answers? Who and what they are holding?
are both rulers?
May be
Pope and sceptor (but am thinking it wouldn't be pope)
-
I dont' know why, but a couple times I've read it and "the bible" popped into my head.
tons of lessons, take it or leave it, about life, etc etc.
second stanza doesn't fit too well though.
fantastic first riddle though...
Thanks!
Chess_Vixen's "Book" is merely on the right track but the one word answer to the riddle(s) is not a book's title.

OP Virgin Go easy on me is where i got newbie cus people who havnt played are called virgins so u go easy on them don't know what OP is. You told us to look at the thread title right?
Oh, I see. The title has nothing to do with it. It's just embarrassing. I was referring to a comment I had made about the structure of the riddle. Really two riddles with the same answer.
-
It has to do with a book and a newbie and if my last guess was close then could it be reading the rulebook to a newbie before playing a board game?
nothing to do with a newbie. let me know where you got that so i can address if needed. thanks and keep it up. think you're almost there.
-
I think you're right, Shaka. She said it was really easy....
agree. the title does, too.
-
wont be long now.
...combine. esp. with Chess_Vixen's guess. check out my description of the riddle(s) as well.
-
fiber optic cable?
-
nah, not for this riddle.
Life is described differently here and maybe should be capitalized
-
crosswords? a puzzle book?
'fraid not but I love crosswords. Don't know if I can continue doing them tho with my current Den addiction and all. Only so much puzzle time.
-
choose your own adventures
Me, too but now too few and far between. But, alas, no.
-
Do you mean I should be more specific? A certain type..or one in particular?
No, not a certain type or title. Just book itself is close. Dont know how to say more without giving the answer.
-
oh so close!
This riddle kinda has two parts both pointing to the same one word answer. The top part is more for you right-brainers; use your imagination. The last four lines should be easier for left-brainers; with a little POW thrown in there.
-
but no to shakazulu and deannaart's latest.
-
a book?
oh so close!
