Riddle Me This

September 6, 2007 at 9:00am By: Mr. Wilson Posted in The Lincolnite Blog

  1. I net myself the best women in the country to serve for me, but my wife Wendy doesn’t badger me about it. Who am I?
  2. I’m hungry for a little New York-style comfort food and a conversation with a man with no footwear. Where should I go?

Sorry there are only two. Gotta get to work!

2. Haymarket Park?

No, but I suspect your thought process is on the right track.

2. Hot Dog guy on the corner of 14th & O Street?

Mr. Wilson September 6, 2007 at 2:42pm

Nope, wrong NY food.

West A Dad September 6, 2007 at 2:44pm

Rats!

Neal September 6, 2007 at 4:36pm

Still wrong NY food.

West A Dad September 6, 2007 at 4:53pm

LOL! Good one Neal!

Is it hint time? I know you guys can get this one. The clue has two distinct parts. Try solving each part separately and see what you get.

2) New York Deli?

cheesecake factory type place and footloose and fancy?

it hurt pulling that out of my A#$

Mr. Wilson September 7, 2007 at 8:37am

I’ll break it down a bit:

1) Name a food associated with New York
...and…
2) Name a person famous for not wearing footwear

(Bonus hint: Why do I say “with no footwear” instead of using a better word or phrase?)

I don’t get what Shoeless Joe Jackson has to do with the Manhattan Deli in the Haymarket???

beerorkid September 7, 2007 at 10:34am

bagels and joe?

Mr. Wilson September 7, 2007 at 10:50am

bagels and joe?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Too hard? Clue too weird? Or are you guys just getting rusty because I haven’t been coming up with enough riddles and games lately?

beerorkid September 7, 2007 at 10:52am

I would like to thank the academy, my dogs, loving wife....

Do we even have a bagels and Joe?  LOL complete guess and only helped by Moses’s “Joe” comment.

Moses September 7, 2007 at 11:03am

Bagels and Joe is at 48th and Old Cheney. 

Glad to have the assist.......

Jeff September 7, 2007 at 2:05pm

Oh snap! It’s Manhattan Deli, whatever, I still lost…

The “2. Haymarket Park?

No, but I suspect your thought process is on the right track.” had me thinking something in the Haymarket.

Neal September 7, 2007 at 6:21pm

Yeah, I was thinking Field of Dreams combined with hot dogs and pizza when I guessed Haymarket Park.
