  1. Missing?

    I see how you got that. It fits very well but it is not a compound word. ^_^

    hispanic

    sorry, not right but had to try...

    No need to apologize. I think folks are zeroing in on it.
  2. Yay for right answer and dang for

    I thought of the fact that it's not a compound word, but it fit so well anyway: he + story = history...

    I understand, but the real answer fits even better ;).
  3. OSSIFY - meaning to get hard like a bone - gross if your - holding it (container clue)

    :duh::lol:

    With the "O" from OSSIFY this has to be OAFS = buffoons

    I can't get the clue part. Unless...

    sedan = sofa? wrecklessly driven (anagrammed):ph34r: That was fun PG.

  4. Touchy-feely?

    That does work but I'm looking for regular unhyphenated compound words.

    I totally just got this one!

    counterclockwise!

    :duh:

    You got it! :lol:

    And #10! Now they're starting to hit me!

    history!

    Sorry, that is not a compound word.;)

    Although all of the answers are compound words, some of them have been broken up in unconventional ways to make the clue.

  5. THEIST = one who's assured of God.

    I get part about HE IS with "noisy kids " about it.

    I don't get how they are two "T's".

    FLYBY = is this one the double definition that I was looking for?

    fly by (Time flies by) and a flyby is a buzz.

    Great puzzle by the way. :thumbsup:

  6. Hey hugemonkey. Good to see you back.

    I'll rush in for No.2.

    Foolhardy?

    Hello Wilson, you got it!

    thatguyoration = Heehaw?

    Not this one, though.

    calculatorwatchsavvy = administrate?

    Am liking this one hm :thumbsup:

    Thanks :) That's not it. An earlier guess was closer.

    Stopwatch?

    These are fun to try and solve. :thumbsup:

    Sorry, no. Thanks for the feedback, I've tried to mix the ridiculously easy with the obtuse.

    heavyset?

    stranglehold?

    Sorry PG, Wilson already got #2. #3 totally fits but was not what I was thinking. I will have to give you partial credit on that one (or even bonus points!).
  7. summertime?

    Sorry pg, that's not it.

    History?

    I like that answer, and it sorta fits but that is not right.

    apex?

    Nope. The answers will be compound words.

    1. monkeypokes = monkey bars? (only half, I know...)

    2. confirm = with company?

    3. gropegrab = Palm Touch? LOL

    5. offcheer = wandering root?

    6. mobboard = pressroom??

    8. calculatorwatchsavvy = adder timewise? (not much sense, I know...)

    9. bowpit = nosehole?

    No to all of those but you are getting close with the last two.

    Playoff

    I don't know if i'm doing it right.. but it is a really good one :thumbsup:

    Thanks, but that's not it.

    I just realized that #1 is monkeyPOKES, not monkeySPOKES... :P

    I do not have a proper guess for it...

    Ah, I see now. I was wondering how you got that.

    Wow, a lot of good tries here, but so far only number

  8. It has been a while since I have posted a riddle.

    These are similar to the original

    1. monkeypokes

    2. confirm

    3. gropegrab

    4. provokedsin

    5. offcheer

    6. mobboard

    7. babyboy

    8. calculatorwatchsavvy

    9. bowpit

    10. actfunny

    11. stilltimeline

    12. thatguyoration

  9. You’re so yellow, you should stop,

    Go this way, no need to be watched.

    Ready and willing, so easy to teach.

    Always in control- you’ll never breach.

    So inclined, always more than just 3

    Bending easily; not for you, but me.

    railroad crossing?
  10. OK here are the final results:

    1. From Blacklight -

    2. A Fist -

    3. Carbon Footprints -

    4. Are Prints Disordered -

    5. Andrew, Ivan, Rita -

    6. A Canine Group -

    7. Upset Escorts Mingle -

    8. Opening A Chain -

    9. Mourning Wood -

    10. Vermont Briefly -

    11. Years Gone By -

    12. Uneven Fescue -

    got the theme.

  11. thought maybe opening is gate and a chain maybe ch? or maybe just "opening a" and chain indicating the connection between those two words (ga)?

    Great that is it!

    opening = gate

    chain = ch (it is the abbreviation for a unit of measure)

    gatech = Georgia Tech, as in "www.gatech.edu"

  12. to be honest it doesn't matter whether global climate change is a fact. What matters is that we need to get off our @sses and start saving the ONLY PLANET we KNOW OF that supports LIFE! The disrespect some people have for our Earth astounds me. If you ask "why help the earth if we're unsure about global warming?" i ask "WHY NOT???"

    Exactly, Whether anybody believes it or not something is happening with the climate. If there is a chance that we have something to do with it then we should try to address that. Yes, it is true that humans evolved significantly over a period of climactic flux; other creatures and plants including things that we eat are not as adaptable.

    The US invaded Iraq at the cost of what will be $1 trillion dollars on the chance that there was WMD's.

    There is a far greater threat from global warming whatever its cause (although the scientific evidence is still convincing that is is real and human caused, even with this latest controversy). I haven't heard investing anywhere near this amount in the global warming problem. Why gamble? If we are wrong we risk ruining our one planet forever. The only downside that I have ever heard is that by limiting our carbon emissions we might damage our economy (read as some people won't make as much money). That is also debatable as we can make money on green technology, too, but it might not be the same people who are making money now. We should all realize by now how fleeting financial gains can be.

  13. In many sizes i come.

    I can somewhat help you clean

    I'm everywhere and anywhere

    I go everywhere or stay and never move

    You look in me and see, the things you need and things you don't need

    what am i?

    Change?
  14. 7 - Clemson Tigers - anagram of 'escorts mingle'

    11 - BC (Boston College Eagles)

    with only 1 left, I'm guessing "A Carbon Copy" refers to the ACC. So I know what the final answer should be, but I can't figure out how it fits

    Right on 7, right on 11 and right on the theme. It will come to you. (It's my alma mater BTW)
