plainglazed Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Two words together describe this to tame In a strange way my meaning is just the same Whether read word by word Although it sounds quite absurd All allude to my circuitous fame. You don't want to meet me accidentally Then draw near, be alert most mentally Can go this way or that Depends where you're at So surely you can approximate my identity.

0 EDM Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 raindrops??? sorry........can't think straight.........goodnight!! P.S: i'll sleep on it and get back to u.........if it's already answered,........nevermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) My brain's going a little wild on this one, thinking of everything from "solar system" to specific suits in a playing card deck, so I'm just trying to sort it out... Bicycle? Football? - sounds absurd, ball refers to circular shape, you don't want to be hit by one when you're not paying attention, and you have to pay attention to catch it, and it can bounce any which way Disco ball? Crystal ball? - crystal ball could fit everything, given the right type (but then again, it's easier to answer riddles with magical items rather than real ones, as their properties are indefinite) The last few lines make me think Sandman Lady Luck? - the circular thing is qualified by "what comes around goes around," but that's a stretch Rubber band? Typhoon/hurricane? Okay, I think that's enough for now... maybe Edited July 2, 2009 by DarthNoob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly so goofy, sorry. All work and too little play. Gotta squeeze five days into four. Now how's that for a conundrum? Your guess is not where I'm coming from for this one. Thanks for shopping. Come back real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 coincidence and fate. Ahh yes, quite the conundrum to get 5 work days into 4, but isn't it so fantastic to have that 5th one off? I sure think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Does the word "tame" matter? I can only come up with two words that fit in "this to tame," easy-to-tame and hard-to-tame. Which makes me think the answer is "difficulty," because difficulty is a measure of how hard something is, so difficulty can be easy... but it doesn't fit the other lines.

0 hugemonkey Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Two words together describe this to tame - reign (in) meaning "to tame" In a strange way my meaning is just the same Whether read word by word - "Whether" read word by word = "whet her" ~ "weather" = rain Although it sounds quite absurd All allude to my circuitous fame. You don't want to meet me accidentally - line as in clothesline Then draw near, be alert most mentally - line (up) Can go this way or that - CAN GO anagrammed into CONGA (line) Depends where you're at So surely you can approximate my identity.

0 plainglazed Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sorry all for my lack of presence here lately. Went to the mountains over the long weekend and no connectivity. Am back now (obviously) and will better keep this one current. Nothing right yet. DN, the "this to tame" part refers only to the riddle itself so the answer is what is to tame. hm, though I hope this is an A1 riddle, there is no elaborate word play here, pretty much a straightforwared WAI.
