4. MCAT (yeah, I know it's wrong, but it works so well...;P)

Joke Bloke

or, a less lame one:

Flit Bit (referring to his association with Flit for a time in his career (Flit is, apparently, a bug spray))

Wow, I just thought of another one for 13...(while I was lying in bed, *trying* to fall asleep...darn you engspangussion for making such a fun puzzle >.<)

thanks... I think ;)

so here's another update:

Jane-

"toad code" can't be the answer b/c it's in the clue ("decoder")

...although I like the rhyme

IMLRG-

I think I can take "joke bloke" for #4

cryptic chic-

I really like the idea, but as you pointed out, it might not work b/c of tense. but I might include it anyway b/c it's so original ;)

Yoruichi-san-

2. "grind/bind"- I like it, another pt.

4. "sneetch teech" very creative... I'll take it! ;)

6. "hand land" not quite sure

13. speeder beater & sprinter center are sort of off-rhymes, but I think I'll take them.

Sly fly?

Honey Money

(Honey farmer, right?)

Growing Boeing

Humper's Pumper

I'm a little late to the party, but I think these are pretty good for what's left.

Ok, about most recent answers:

Yoruichi-san:

2 pts for horse/morse and plant/grant (both were my original answers ;))

IAmCelery:

not sure about "Sly fly". also, "honey money" is a hinky pinky, while the Q asks for a hink pink.

however, 1 pt for "Growing Boeing" (what I had originally :))

also, if you can explain why a runner is a "humper", might take it.

so, there are 3 Qmarks remaining. if not guessed by tomorrow (I'm off to bed soon! ;)), I'll post them in spoilers.

here's another update and score:

Yoruichi-san:

2. trite/write and droll/scroll definitely work. dead/read does, too, if you mean "read" in past tense (so it rymes better ;)) so, 3 (more) pts :D

4. fame/name (he's famous, it's a pen name?)- yeah, I guess it works. stretching it? ;) jk. 1 pt.

13. rusher/gusher- interesting. yes, I think it also works. 1 pt.

cryptic chic:

Cheetah Beater- sort of off-rhyme... oh wait, I'm going off stupid American pronunciation! :o (which by the way I hate, & yet speak anyway) I suppose for Brit or Aussie eng., it's a perfect rhyme... so, never mind! ;) 1 pt. :)

Lost in Space:

who/zoo works. 1 pt. DOC/MOCK? b/c he's not really a doctor? creative... unfortunately, "dr." is in the clue.

whine/sign for boring book? yes, I think it works. another point.

So, new standing:

1. sword hoard (jane)

2. stale tale (chaelpaddy)/ grind bind (yoruichi-san)/ trite write (yoruichi-san)/ droll scroll (yoruichi-san)/ dead read (yoruichi-san)/ whine sign (lost in space)/ ?

3. birch perch (starfish)

4. joke bloke (imlrg)/ sneetch teach (yoruichi-san)/ fame name (yoruichi-san)/ who zoo (lost in space)/ ?

5. fox box (cryptic chic)/ bird word (yoruichi-san)/ horse morse (yoruichi-san)

6. crop prop (cryptic chic)/ plant grant (yoruichi-san)

7. fickle pickle (chaelpaddy)

8. caring herring (starfish)

9. mango tango (starfish)

10. whiner liner (jane)/ flyer crier (yoruichi-san)/ growing Boeing (IAmCelery)

11. hansom ransom (yoruichi-san)/ capture stature (cryptic chic)

12. sandal vandal (dawh)

13. racer pacer (yoruichi-san)/ speeder beater (yoruichi-san)/ sprinter center (yoruichi-san)/ rusher gusher (yoruichi-san)/ cheetah beater (cryptic chic)/ ?

14. aerosol parasol (starfish)

15. Rossini zucchini (chaelpaddy)/ Puccini zucchini (starfish)

dawh: 1

iamcelery: 1

imlrg: 1

jane: 2

lost in space: 2

chaelpaddy: 3

cryptic chic: 4

starfish: 5

yoruichi-san: 15

Believe it or not, I still have diff ones for #2, 4, and 13. ;)

"btw...great puzzle engspangussian..just luv it"

thanks!! :D The first "hinkety pinkety" I posted got quite a few responses, so ever since I'd been working on a second. It's actually based on a children's game we used to play.

Now I have to come up with 15 more for hinkety pinkety 3! :o;)

Noooo....now I'll have to find some other way to procrastinate... ;P

This has been so much fun. Thanks, engspangussian! But I really don't get your answer for #4. Can you explain?

well, Dr. Seuss books are some of the earliest many children read, and their first (extensive) intro. to rhyming. so- prime rhyme. ;)

as for procrastinating (which I personally cannot live without ;)), besides the fact that there is soooooo much on this site already :)... anyway, I'm working on Hinkety Pinkety 3, and until then I'll post a couple other riddles which might occupy a little bit of your time ;)
