That's fine with me. I was never sure what kind of a grace period to give unsolved riddles anyway. Silly puddy is close, but Abbas is closer (for those of you who are not LIS, disregard everything after the first 2 sentences of this post)

1) As Noct pointed out, the tiger is indeed part of the Zodiac (Chinese). This was not even part of the riddle though, it was just one example of the innumerable instances where tigers are celebrated. 2)Tony the Tiger is a caricature of a tiger. If you think that the artist did not mean to exaggerate the animal's appearance, then take another look at the box and compare it to a photo of a tiger. 3)Yes, 'say the same' refers to the previous line. He does not need to be talking about himself when comparing what he says with what others say. If I say 'they're great' referring to oranges and you say 'they're great' referring to apples, we have said the same thing even though the object of our 'revelry' is completely different.

Yep, it sounds good, but I knew this one was a little too easy. Nice job though, that was fast.

As if I'd expect my puzzles to stand up to a Puzzle Grandmaster. Well done.

I admit that this riddle will stretch a little literally speaking, alliteration pardoned I'm sure. But no, 'nothing' is stretching these lines too far. Grammatically joking aside, good try, but another word does better apply.

In terms of timepieces, a sundial has the least moving parts. What timepiece has the most moving parts?

It looks like everything that could possibly be it has been named, except the answer of course I never expected this one to last more than a day, actually. Here's what I had in mind:

I think this one's been hangin' around long enough. Considering the hints I provided about programming, the answer is...

It's Abbas.

Though I don't know who this can be yet I can discern the point (hopefully). This person was born on April Fool's Day, but he/she is so highly regarded that their followers cannot bear to celebrate their birthday on such an occasion. Also, the person is clearly English.

OK, in this hint is the next digit in the sequence, if you use this hint, then provide the next 3 digits.

Well you're half right about being wrong. It's not turkey, but nothing is ever said about a caricaturist making it say 'its own name'. That's a jump from the OP.

hmmm

Close, but not quite I'm sure:

Sorry, no. I like you're answer, but it doesn't make sense with the fourth line. Also, for the third line you are using a completely different word (though they sound the same). The answer does not involve any grammatical tricks, it is just 1 word.

To have 'bested' or 'beaten' the game of H-O-R-S-E is a bit awkward to say. You can beat someone else, but can you beat the game itself? It's like saying you bested chess, but you really bested your opponent. Also, the word revel is a positive word, meaning to take great pleasure or delight in, or to celebrate. From my experience, a "horse" throat is nothing in which to revel.

Is it?

Not 1,4,1. Please include a brief explanation as to how you got your answer(s) because there's always the possibility of 3 digits fitting this pattern that I had not intended.

Sure he can. He takes the tobacco that has not been smoked from each cigar butt and rolls it all together inside 1 piece of paper (newspaper I guess...) The type of paper really isn't the point anyway.
