plainglazed Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 A one word solution for each following rhyme Then another as usual, found differently this time That lunatic is a hard case to crack Once that's overcome you needn't turn back Even when mild there's no need to exclaim Just seriously promise that you'll do the same After combing the scene such sweet surrender For sensitive reactions a local defender So it takes the cake, you cover the spread As a result, a cold streak, could end you up dead If at first it seems quite the exception The more you read into it betters perception Losing its cool when springs into action Tensions are eased, could increase the traction Delivered the pitch with utter success Striking a chord, you had to confess At first you might think you've found what to use But contrary to that, more puzzling ensues FWIW - links to similar ones from before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 flag....??? truce...??? I still think this riddle's Awesome!!! HEY EDM - not those, dont think the main word you were working off of for this one is the best to "interpret" for this one. am hoping a couple of others in that line will direct to the answer. care, sooth(ing) paradox, odd brake(s) well hello araver - good to see you on this side of the Den. definitely get were you're coming from with the above. all are quite good responses but not what I have in mind. hopefully there is some word play going on which might better restrict the answers. some literal interpretations and unexpected meanings of idiomatic phrases and the like is kinda my trademark. Ah, just re-read it: ABS (against braking fits better) still not it but again, quite clever. distinct ? hey t_l - not it, sorry proofslick and not those, fabpig though good thoughts as always.

0 araver Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 well hello araver - good to see you on this side of the Den. definitely get were you're coming from with the above. all are quite good responses but not what I have in mind. hopefully there is some word play going on which might better restrict the answers. some literal interpretations and unexpected meanings of idiomatic phrases and the like is kinda my trademark. Thank you. I can see your trademark from previous ones and I like it. Afraid my grasp on English is not good enough to solve, but it is good enough to enjoy the riddles. Yet another not so unexpected meaning interpretation: oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid my grasp on English is not good enough to solve, but it is good enough to enjoy the riddles. Yet another not so unexpected meaning interpretation: oil? not my intentions to be crude. sweet yes, I get it and really like your interpretation. exactly in the right style of these but still looking for something different. your english is superb, araver. have noticed that from when I first noticed your location and came to assume you were a displaced american. I do hope you continue to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
