In the spirit of Andrew's "The Riddle Thread", I put forward this game. Of course, the one to get the answer, submits the next place/riddle.

In my dreams, red faced that I be, I stand as the monolith reaching into the sky.

Yup yup.... hands Sam a cookie

I deserve more than a cookie for that... I am pretty impressed with myself for that one I must say. Someone else can do a new one, I'm no good at these.

No slackin' "Buttercup"... come on... out with it.... give us a good one Sammy-boy. :oP

Silicon valley.

Correct!

Come on Sam.. you can do it.. you can't keep answering them all.. lol
Give us a good one to chew on.. lol

OK... where can I hang up this really big shirt?

Walk-in Closet?

Nope.

No room in there, huh? 8•P

This shirt wouldn't fit in any closet.

Your newly redecorated basement ?

Ummm...well it's a BIG shirt...
Shaq??
The Big Show??
would you hang it on one of them??

*rolls eyes*

No, no and no.

Ringling Brothers Circus !

You wouldn't happen to be referring to a HAWAIIAN shirt would you?

Oh no...Sam are you planning on hiding in my luggage and bumming a free trip to Oah'u???

No, not a Hawaiian shirt. Not a circus. Not bumming rides... read the question again, perhaps...

Quote from Sam-- "OK... where can I hang up this really big shirt?"

Ummm...you can't hang it on Shaq or the Big Show...and it doesn't go in a circus somewhere, and you aren't wearing it while bumming a ride to Hawaii...

Guys, I got nothing...help please...Sam is indeed being a tricky one on this.

You'r standing in front of the statue of David.

You are SO bad Curt!!!

well, what is that he has draped over his shoulder, if not his shirt?

I didn't think it would be tricky at all actually... I thought you'd get it on the first go. But how about this, instead: WHAT would I hang a really big shirt on??

A coat rack / tree

California/Sequoia

Darn ... I think I actually gave Curt a clue without knowing it.

*kicks the door* .... why didn't I think of that.

Does that count Sam???????

You hang your shirts on a tree??? No, you are both way off!!!

well... where is the coat hanger capitol of the world?.. lol

Sydney Harbour Bridge ... Australia

*claps*

See, it wasn't that hard...

Okay, my turn. I'm no good at this. Sam you take this one.

This one should be easy, I think.........

Clue #1 Sometimes I have wings, but cannot fly.

Clue # 2 Solid as a rock

Alcatraz??

Sphinx?

No go Sam ......

Cat you are correct .... it's the Great Sphinx.

Wait ... back up here kiddies, I don't get it. WHY would you hang a shirt on Sydney Harbor bridge ??!!

And Cat... this is the Where Am I thread, not Cryptic Clues ... get it right girl !

I did get it right! It's supposed to be a riddle! NOW GO SOLVE IT! 8•P

Sydney Harbour Bridge is also known as the big coathanger Lauren. It's not so puzzling, just look at the shape of it.

Greenland

I'll second Araris... Greenland.. hehe

So please write A (Amaris-LAdyprariefire) or C (Cat- Animaniactoo) at the front of your answers so we know in what riddle you are reffering to!!.......Let the games begin.....

Mine:

On one side I have afriend who is always blue
And on my other side a friend who is a Saint
Though they are amidst each other, prophet's seperate them.
Where am I........

A) Earth, as in ground?

Interesting guess..........but no my friend..........ground it is not :)

A.) ... Bemidji, Minnesota

Sorry Lauren it's not Bemidji Minnestota. I've lived in MPLS and been to Duluth a couple times but I've never been to Bemidgi before. It sounds interesting if it fits my riddle. I think I maybe I made this riddle a little too vague........clues so far:
#1-It is a city.

#2-The blue mentioned is not water

#3-My new clue: Go east......meaning off the rock of North America

I was thinking of the statue of Paul Bunyon & Babe, his blue ox ... oh well

Cat - Mumbai?? ;-)

nope. Clue #1 - it's a location in the U.S.

ah man, I'm not so good with US geography.......but I will rack my brain :)

C) Graceland

C) Craters of the Moon National Park ..........?............ : )

oh hell, i know i'm way off, but..plymouth rock? (A)

You know what Rob ? That's exactly what I thought of too

great minds think alike..and ours do too :P

nope and nope

Clue #2 - Think of monuments

C) Statue of LIberty

nuh uh

Nope not Plymouth rock...........new clue......

Original Riddle-

On one side I have afriend who is always blue
And on my other side a friend who is a Saint
Though they are amidst each other, prophet's seperate them.
Where am I........

#1 It's a city

#2 The blue mentioned is not water

#3 Go east....meaning off the rock of North America (and Sam would go north west)

#4 Perhaps the words "Almost Middle" and "Landmarks" could be thrown in too!!

Well since you're reposting yours… 8•P

hmmm a deceiving name that implies spending money...might have market, or shop, or plaza in the name...and so i keep guessing....

you're on the right track…

Something store?

try a place where you might find lots of them?

a mall??

now take that… and apply… where are you?

A museum?

well whats smooth? stone, water, what else...?
and an implement doesnt mean the queen herself, but rather, a staff, or something that symbolizes her

water is correct... now pick an ancient queen and think of implements that might be linked w/her name

Cleopatra?

correct queen 80)

a queen-sized waterbed?!? :P

So now we have to figure out what might be associated with Cleopatra. The only thing that springs to mind is her nose :-P

no...if it isnt a staff of some sort, might be the asp, since legend holds she was killed by one

Queen Lake

nope sorry.

correct hints/pieces: Cleopatra... mall... water...

Oh crap *smacks self in forehead*

The Washington Monument ... oops ... mybad ... The National Mall

I thought of that actually (that is the big rectangular lake with some capitol building behind it, yeah?) but I have never heard it called a "National Mall" before.

well, a 'mall' isn't just a collection of stores..we've all just gotten used to that one meaning of the word.

ding ding ding. lauren wins the cookies. catch you peeps later, i'm on my way back home now 80)

(and yes sam, the official name of it is the "National Mall"

Way to go Lauren. I would never have guessed that one right, though I did rack my brain about it. I apologize again Cat for Hijacking your game. Mamma Mia, I feel silly for doing it. Anyway, if anyone still feels like taking a shot at my riddle feel free. But since Lauren won Cats' it is her right of course to make the next one. So I won't be insulted if mine is ditched...........have fun guys.......I'll repost mine here and if LAuren gives me the thumbs down I will remove it. Cheers guys.........Amaris
