0 plasmid Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I can't make any of these fit adequately no matter how hard I try to force a square peg into a round hole, so I'd guess you're neithermaking hand shadows, nor grilling hot dogs, nor describing two Frodo Bagginses being simultaneously bitten by gollums at Mt Doom Edited May 16, 2012 by plasmid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 strong cases for all the above but personally cant make any one (including the following) fit entirely. suspect that's due to my dimness but anyway - on truckin' - tractor trailer/articulated lorry?

0 Shakeepuddn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Nothing yet. Here's a re-write. The first draft is lousy. Sorry. The first heading east Foot in stride Trailing a candle— It’s “you” behind Two grades looking back Not failing but near A pole before them the last unheard.

0 plasmid Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I think that plainglazed has it. I should have realized this might be a different type of riddle than usual when I started reaching at straws like cloned hobbits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shakeepuddn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Hi EDM, Plasmid, PG, and all you riddle-heads . . . nice to see this site up and running again. Not sure if anyone's got this yet. Answer? Edited May 18, 2012 by Shakeepuddn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I thought plainglazed was hinting at it with"what's in a name" on his earlier post. But just to be sure, both versions describe the letters of the name of the Riddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Is there a clarification possible ? I simply don't get it.

0 MissKitten Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) nvm... Lol, I was puzzling it out, and I got everything except the R. And I was so proud, I almost posted that, and then I realized pg already had it. Nice one, shakee. You made me feel happy about myself.
