Christmas: A Little Too White

[lindya]

How about, "Here's fifty bucks," which door is it? Or, alternately "I'll show you my tits." That may not work for you, though.

 

Thanks for ruining Christmas. I'm pretty sure I'd be a 36D by now were it not for someone asking me that riddle at a crucial stage in my life.

 

The riddle was asked in Labyrinth, and I'm sure the answer is all over the Internet. I won't spoil it by posting it on the thread, so if you can't work it out and can't find it with the help of google, PM me. However, you should try to work it out first. One question, one answer - yes or no. Two clues: The question should probably start with the word "if". One guard always lies, the other always tells the truth. The solution to your dilemma lies in those two facts.

No matter who you ask, they both point to the Door of Death. Then, like johan said, you can shove one of the guards through the other door - just to make absolutely sure.

 

Ha ha ha...

Poor Johan. Did you eat all the icecream?

[johan]

Poor Johan. Did you eat all the icecream?

 

Not all of it. But I'm not done yet.

[Nemo]

Throw your arms around yourself, and give yourself a great big hug, and remember, you are not alone

That's a little too gay - even for me.

[Citizen Erased]

Hmph you could share you know. Some of us are not so fortunate to have it be cold this time of year.

Hi Lindya. I hope you didn't think I was downplaying your tits as a bargaining chip (or chips?). I meant the tit thing wouldn't work for Johan.

 

(Say you ask the Truth dude.) Truth dude responds that LLPOF would tell you to take the Death door - he says nothing, but points. (The truth.)

That makes sense. I don't think I cracked it though. I was just going in circles. Does this tell us anything about the nature of the universe or is it just entertaining?

 

I asked my dad this riddle after he arrived tonight, and I think it proved more of a personality test than a riddle for him. He said, "That isn't right, you need to have two questions at least," and then proceeded to answer as if that was the case, feeling quite satisfied with himself.

[Nemo]

I cracked it

Yes, you did.

 

Close enough for the "cigar" - a ride on my trunk. That's if cracking it didn't give you sufficient satisfaction.

[Storyrider]

Yes, you did.

Maybe I was headed in the right direction.

 

I think the snow has finally slowed down after a good eight inches.

 

My parents brought CD players for both girls, and 4 yr old was listening to and singing along with John Denver's "Country Roads." I didn't even realize she knew the words, but it was really funny b/c she was belting it out without being able to hear herself with the headphones on. Meanwhile we were all listening and highly entertained. She actually can sing.

[Touche]

Hi Story! Merry something! My fellow Jewess.

 

Want to hear a weird coincidence? At one point in the evening the adults were reminiscing about past concerts we'd been too. And my H's ex brought up John Denver. She challenged us all to guess how much that concert cost her in 1976. I was WAY off. I mean I guessed double what it actually cost. (Well, I really likedJohn Denver.)

 

So can you guess how much she said it cost her?

For one ticket in 1976? I'm thinking about 25 or 30 dollars?

[Touche]

Very funny! I guess you really liked John Denver too. But wait, how old were you in 1976, like 5? Anyway, I guessed $12 and she said she paid $5.00.

 

Happy holidays, dearie!

[Storyrider]

Wow, Touche!!! I'm floored. I would never have believed that. Only five dollars.

 

In 1976 I was eight. I remember the Bicentenial quarter, but that is about it.

 

I don't think I've ever seen a concert for that little. The closest I could come--I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at a county fair type thing in Austin Texas back in about 1984. I don't think I paid much more than that for admission.

 

Happy Holidays to you too!

Well that's what she claimed. We all guessed over.

 

I can beat you and her both on that admission. I saw Kool and the Gang and Bonnie Rait for free when I attended the University of Florida in 1979!

 

(Well Bonnie was ok, but Kool and the Gang was )

I thought it was just a lucky guess

[johan]

Today I finished shoveling all the snow off my driveway and off the sidewalks, and one of the neighbors' cats came over to sit nearby and express her thanks by looking at me but not coming very close. (That's how I know it's female.)

 

So while I was trying to coax her over for a pet, she decided instead to mosey across the street and made a car stop and wait while she did it.

 

She was sitting across the street absorbed in thought, so I decided to throw snowballs in her vicinity to see what she would do. She thought each one was something to hunt and kill, but whenever she went to where one landed she couldn't find anything except snow.

 

Cats are so stupid. If they weren't funny I can't think what purpose they'd serve at all.

What a heartwarming Christmas story. Thank you johan, from the bottom of my diaphragm.

I used to think cats were smarter than dogs. Then I actually owned a cat and I realized it was all a huge front.

Similar to dogs, they get to be smart when there is something they really want to do. The biggest difference between cats and dogs is that dogs are bred to be very dependent and also to be incredible suck-ups.

 

I don't prefer one over the other. I have cats right now because I don't need something so dependent on me. Someday I'll probably get a dog or two.

I have both, and I love my cat and my dogs equally. I love my cat because he is so independent, yet loving at the same time. He is an outside cat, but he comes inside to eat and then have a cuddle. His favorite thing to do in the morning is eat his breakfast and then hop up onto my bed and lay on my stomach while I scratch his ears. He very obviously loves me the best.

 

My dogs are stinky and messy but so loving. They seem to adore me. They follow me from room to room and sit there, watching me. It can get a little creepy sometimes. Like, if they were human they would be stalkers. They also very obviously love me the best.

 

I talk to my animals. I have one sided conversations with them. I'm insane.
