Cool, Parados.

And, here I was thinking after the last clue... "Lil Red Corvette?" For a Tibetan Priest? Well, maybe... That's the only vehicle song that comes to mind beside Yellow Submarine.

Squinney and Parados, those are very creative, if you are not brainiacs as of yet, you are well on your way.

Another clue-

To solve my riddle, you must conjure/ask the silly child within you to solve it.

Tryagain, I had a most unusual happening. For your 1300 post, I tried to do something with the numbers of the date you joined a2k and 1300 (like the game you started with numbers on your other thread ) but I couldn't come up with anything interesting, so I told myself "ah forget it."

A few hours later I went to the 'A' bookstore to buy the book you recomended, their computer said they have it, but the sales person couldn't find it, I left. I decided to go to the 'J' bookstore (i just got back).

After I paid for the book, all I had left were one's, three of them in my hand, the teller handed me back thirty cents in change- 1330 Laughing

I didn't do that on purpose! I didn't even know how much money I had on me, I just grabbed what I had. <i snicker, alot, wouldn't you?!> Laughing

I had one other hilarious thing happen today. I was going grocery shopping and my dad asked me to pick up a green pepper for him. I was at the veggie section and stood about 5 feet away from the peppers, I was staring at them trying to figure if I should buy more than one, then a single green pepper rolled off of the pile and onto the floor, right in front of me, noone else was around! Shocked... Laughing...so I picked it up!

I bought 5 peppers altogether, ya never know when you might need another one.

I don't have much stuff, but I have FUN stuff happen! Laughing Cool

So, how are you?

Shocked What mark said! Laughing practicing for the big one.
Are you asking me to give you one? Because, I surely don't need one. I need a magic globe, so I can figure out what continent you and Try live on.
How come I can't tell? You two are evasive. Two peas in a pod.

Mark I looked at the answers you came up with on Try's thread, ain't no way I was going to be able to play your game, (i still don't play well with others? Crying or Very sad ) so I guess I received my own with 1330.

I enjoyed it Very Happy I don't alway's get what I want, but I alway's get what I need. Good enough for me.

I see you have your thinking cap on, but need to tie the strings a bit tighter. Very Happy

Here is a clue or two.

Q. What did a Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

A. Make me one with everything.

Also, think about the first two letters of the Tibetan mantra: "OM"

Now, I don't want anyone here to start yelling or acting like a maroon over this riddle (that's what untrained dogs do). :wink:

p.s. I'm dieing to show people the vehicle. Laughing It will at the very least make folks smile.

I doubt the monk would pay "Cash" for his vehicle but perhaps he would hum this little ditty....


Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

Parados, you're making me smile. These lines are a hint-

"One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man...

You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round."

Did I forget to mention this is just a silly riddle I devised for pure entertainment purposes? Very Happy

Btw, I showed God my choice of vehicles and he think's it's a riot, and so do the 'others'. Laughing

Try, whim and all the others, you are coming up with awesome correlations, better than the silly one I came up with, (but it's the fun part that counts).

If noone guesses by the end of the day, I will show you the perfect vehicle I found.

Confession: I would rather have someone else guess it. Keep trying :-)

My first thought was a Hummer. .... After all, what guy wouldn't want a hummer? Then I saw Squinney had already guessed that.

Then I thought of the Oscar Meyer WeinerMobile.

The perfect vehicle I must say.

So the hot dog vendor hands the Buddhist the hot dog and says "That will be four dollars."

The Buddhist hands him a twenty dollar bill, and the hot dog vendor puts in in his pocket.

The Buddhist asks, "Hey, where's my change?"

The hot dog vendor smiles and says "Change comes from within."

Now, with the facts we have in this story about the Tibetan, (and other facts, make me one with everything) what would be the optimum vehicle for him to drive.

I will give you folks a hint. There is a very famous song that goes along with the vehicle. Anyone over the age of 20 that grew up in America would be familiar with this tune. There will be a sing-a-long when the answer is revealed.

Can you explain why that is the answer, I do not get it. How could we have deduced this?
