0 Guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 how, exactly, does one go about eating a car? Once the car is sent to the junk yard, it can be "eaten" - crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 lol I've never tried eating a car. A flower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Time? Or maybe words? The phrase 'eating your own words' came to mind. Umm... Neither of these really fits the entire riddle but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 well, I'm back. No, I haven't given up on my own question- nor do I intend to be chained to the computer. ppl might have other things in life they have to do u know. and by the way, I am a she. anyway, none right so far, so I'm posting another line as a hint. one buys it, another wins it, one carries it, another spends it; one uses it to catch another, while another eats it what is it? btw, the "one"s and "another"s are unrelated from line to line (it could be A, B, C, D, etc...) I'll wait w/ the otr hint b/c it might be a complete giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 cash money no-one has it yet. money fits for one part, but who eats money? here's another hint: all the lines are to be taken literally, including about eating it. the idea is to find something w/ multiple meanings which fit all the diff. lines/parts.

0 Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 A Bill, like a duck bill one buys it- get bills for payments, so to buy something you get a bill another wins it- cash one carries it- you carry cash, or bills one uses it to catch another- hunters that use fake duck calls to catch ducks another eats it- I've never tried it, but it's one of my favorite scenes in "A Christmas Story" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Fish. "Fish" fits all of the clues (I've won them at the local fair, for instance), so your riddle needs some work. How do you WIN a Fish ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
