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 Guest Posted July 6, 2009 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. Hope you don't mind me asking... what are A1 and WAI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hope you don't mind me asking... what are A1 and WAI? WAI stands for What am I. A1 was a reference to a misdirection POW (play on words) I put in my last riddle which I thought hugemonkey might have come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this riddle....but I'm not sure if my answer is correct... Hey EDM, sorry not one of those. Though you can tame in a way this answer, that line also alludes to the riddle itself as being able to tame. Hi PG. Time for another go ....

0 Guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Overseer? I think all the lines fit if you use the Diablo 2 version of the word... but it's a stretch. Alcatraz Island? It's somewhat circular, lol. Subway fits all but three lines. Electroshock collar? My answers are getting pretty grim... Train/Train?

0 plainglazed Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hopefully my thoughts are more honed this time..... Sheath Knife ? No sorry, my answers much more dull. Overseer? I think all the lines fit if you use the Diablo 2 version of the word... but it's a stretch. Alcatraz Island? It's somewhat circular, lol. Subway fits all but three lines. Electroshock collar? My answers are getting pretty grim... Train/Train? Am guessing that first one references a game. Sorry neither I nor my answer are gamers. This answer is also not grim. None right but please keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Black hole Well hello there peej and welcome to the Den. A very powerful first guess indeed. Not what I had in mind but does just about fit. Would say any connection between your first word and circuitous would have to be a bit of a stretch.
