Re: Spooktacular 2014

If I'd realized that potato was the keyword for the other 2 riddles I think I would have gotten the 2nd one, but I still don't think I'd have figured out the 3rd. Special K would've stumped me for sure.

I just realized I have 5 more questions to post for my contest by tomorrow. I need to get cracking on that today.

Re: Spooktacular 2014

So I opened up the prize pack I won from fury, and it was certainly loaded down with a bunch of stuff!

I got several books, the previously alluded to Star Wars VHS tapes, and a Conan statue from Dark Horse! All very cool, and very generous of fury! Thanks!

Question for the board: I took a picture of the loot with my iPhone, but am having a bear of a time uploading it to post. Any ideas why?

My hip always hurt and I never knew why. It was kind of him to take the time to show me the bone spur while he continued to dismember me.

No idea. You might try uploading it to imgur and posting a link or saving it to a computer and uploading from that.

Cool contest idea...I'm not a huge Godzilla fan, so I'm going to pass on this so someone who really wants it has a better shot.

Not sure I could come up with a good one anyway, especially after seeing Grizz's entry.

Fishing from a dock, I pulled what I thought was a big fish from the water, but my own dead eyes stared back at me. If I was in the water, then who is holding the pole?

Re: Spooktacular 2014

Riddle 2:

Three after the first of the last (3 letters in the alphabet after the first letter of the answer to the last riddle)
One before the end of the end of before (one letter before the end of the line before this one)
Twice in one, but none in two (appears twice in the first line, none in the second)

All are the letter S

I never would have got any of those in a million years. I still don't understand the significance of S after Potato. Perhaps Potato Salad was indeed correct. I need to get through all of the posts since I went to bed... You are trickier than UT.
