Write a riddle!

I need a riddle the answer to which is “locomotion.”

Who else would I turn to but you guys?

This crazy maneuver has been a brand new dance at least 3 times.

Okay, that’s, um … not terrible. :wink:

Anyone else got anything?

Quiet hullaballoo.

Or, “What do you call the ovation for the winning limbo dancer?” Hm, this has potential.

Hey, at least I showed up. :smiley:

How do crazy gringos walk? :stuck_out_tongue:

rythm + SOUL

British style. . .

Crazy French word in front of charged particle. (10)

My first part is stupid, my second a stool;
My whole is a dance. Can you guess it, you fool? :smiley:

Crazy movement?

Or for an easier one:

Train moving crazily.

Day-um. Nice! Wish I could write cryptic clues!

Alas, I really need pretty much a straight riddle, similar to something a kid might tell.

What do you call a proposed bill before a Congress full of crazy people?

I actually could hardly tell if that’s within the rules, but if it’s got your nod of approval, I’ll take it.

I can’t do cryptics for crap. I stare at them. Put them down. Stare at them some more. I think I get dumber as I look at them. I feel like the more I think, the FURTHER I get from the answers.

I think I worked on the NYT one last week for 60 minutes and I got ONE answer, “greatness”. And I’m not even sure if that’s right. This week, though, I’m sitting down with the answer key and last weeks puzzle, and I’m going to figure those darn things out.

I love the acrostic and the “Diagramless” is growing on me, though.

I’m with Trunk. The cryptic crosswords always seem like they’d be such fun. So, masochist that I am, I keep trying them. I can feel reported IQ points being taken away as I stare wistfully at the puzzle. I even had a “cryptic solving guide” in one of the magazines, with what was supposed to be an easy cryptic next to it, and checked each clue against each rule they gave. Nothing. It’s like one of those images with the dots where you are supposed to see something when you stare long enough, and I just don’t.

Moving from place to place;
Or shuffling in Eva’s case.

BTW, I really like BraheSilver’s clue.

Cryptics are fun – but they definitely take a while to learn to do. I taught myself, because my dad loved them – but it took me a couple of years to get good. (Of course, keep in mind that “a couple of years” was based on two or three a month, via Games. And now I’m the main test-solver for Games. It’s a funny old world, isn’t it?)

Some shaggy doggerel

I’m all about going from place to place
Some say I’m nuts for running that race
I’m the nature of life
From a germ to a whale
You can use flippers to do me, or even your tail
I’m Latin in parts
I’m fits and I’m starts
When you swing your hips, it drives me crazy
I’d ask you to dance, if I wasn’t so lazy

Damn! So you can get paid to solve the same puzzles I’m paying them to solve now? Now that would be a job! Sounds fun.
