Ok guys, I just had a lot of fun with Asterdai and a few others at Marble Dale Park doing spontaneous Riddle-Poems! I've had so much fun actually that I'll organize a contest and I might even award some coins or creats to the top entry/entries, if I have any left after Mur's auction
Riddle-poems are very easy - check this link provided by Asterdai http://catb.org/esr/riddle-poems.html
Also, check out our log from tonight (captured page by page manually by me, so it's missing the intro and probably a line or two here and there, but there are some very good examples included)

Totenkopf: really, that's all you can come up with after proposing the game?
Totenkopf: "a small fruit"
Asterdai: hehe
Asterdai: i can help give, and i can take away

Asterdai: i curl my long finger into your skin

Totenkopf: yep

Asterdai: um it might not be a word your used to (allways forget not everyones english, you all speak so well)
Asterdai: ill do another line
Totenkopf: yeah, let's all do one line *takes out a gold coin and tries to roll it*
Asterdai: gold to the trees, food for the flies

Totenkopf: ha, my first though was "z snoring while ledah does his thing with a squirrel hole on bob"
Asterdai: to what!?
Ailith: O.o
: Ailith giggles
Asterdai: *chuckles* i think im getting the wrong end of the stick
Totenkopf: to "gold to the trees, food for the flies", as i kind of imagine flies will sit on you if you sleep in the great outdoors
Asterdai: not if i can help it * wafts his hand about* though you do get some pesky misquitos around
Totenkopf: yeah, i kind of have a tendency to go on really wild tangents
Asterdai: 'ok well
Asterdai: http://catb.org/esr/riddle-poems.html
Totenkopf: right let me try one
Asterdai: ailith do you want to have a go?
Asterdai: mine have been rubbish, but i dont care
: Asterdai grins
Totenkopf: or yeah, maybe the nice eastern lady in the corner would like a go at it
Totenkopf: no rush silent, rapt audience, think about it while i whip up one more
Totenkopf: sweat is dripping on your skin
Totenkopf: there he is, that thoughtful grin
Totenkopf: will he discover that last edit?
Totenkopf: does every debit have a credit?!
Asterdai: um paranoia?
Totenkopf: niet
Death Ray: <----?
Asterdai: niet?
Totenkopf: err obj...what-the-beep is that?
Totenkopf: yeah, that's "no" in russian
Asterdai: is this a person?
Totenkopf: yes
Asterdai: the Taxman!
Totenkopf: close enough, i was thinking auditor, but "the Taxman!" has waaay more zing to it!
: Asterdai smiles
Asterdai: death built by life, hidden in a shell, i wont go to hell
Totenkopf: (at the training for my first ACCA exam, the teacher noticed we were not really paying attention and told us to at least remember that "every debit has a credit")
Totenkopf: gun powder? or explosives of some sort?
Asterdai: (i dont get it)
Asterdai: nope, i like this one i made up, no clues
Asterdai: *smiles* if you get it,ill give you a silver
Asterdai: is open to anyone
Totenkopf: (it was the first out of many exams for entry to the UK-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, and she told us like the most basic rule of accounting, that every debit has a credit ))
Asterdai: (i dont get it)
Asterdai: nope, i like this one i made up, no clues
Asterdai: *smiles* if you get it,ill give you a silver
Asterdai: is open to anyone
Totenkopf: (it was the first out of many exams for entry to the UK-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, and she told us like the most basic rule of accounting, that every debit has a credit ))
Asterdai: (i dont understand what the phrase means!)
Totenkopf: (oh, mmkay, you know how in uk, like the rest of europe we generally use the double-entry accounting system? that means whatever you book on debit you must also book on another account on credit)
Totenkopf: ok, so umm...cloned chikin?
Asterdai: (ok... so that you know both things that are affected, and keep a log of both?)
Phear Wolf: the answer is not pearl, is it?
Asterdai: death built by life, hidden in a shell, i wont go to hell
Totenkopf: (yeah, pretty much, that's why when looking at a balance sheet the total should be zero without your profit/loss, because you have the same amount of total assets/liabilities)
Asterdai: *shakes his head* good guess though!
Asterdai: not terribly close
Asterdai: (ok, so its about putting ALL the information down, and remembering too?)
Totenkopf: diesel, cause you buy it from a shell gas station?
Asterdai: *chuckles* ok lets forget that one
Asterdai: Phear Wolf, would you like to make a riddle up?
Phear Wolf: shure, give me a minute...
Asterdai: yay!
Phear Wolf: does it have to rhime?
Curiose: Ello, Asterdai.
Totenkopf: (umm yeah somewhat, it's kind of a way to double-check for errors, so if your "debits do not equal your credits", there's an error in your accounting)
Phear Wolf: Jaco, you should only attack idles
Phear Wolf: I am bright like the sun, but age darkens my skin. And only when I am naked people really want me
Phear Wolf: what am I?
Asterdai: banana?
Phear Wolf: no silver for this one, I`m afraid =P
Curiose: Silver?
Phear Wolf: damn, was it that easy?
Totenkopf: oooh good try aster
Phear Wolf: was eating a banana now lol
