SUNDAY RIDDLE # 1

 It's a big responsibility having the most successful blog in this community - the one that has the most number of posts and a lot of readers look up to me and anticipate new instalments.

One old guy though from Wainuiomata - or should I say Whine-nuiomata - has been whinging that there hasn't been a Sunday quiz recently.


He even wrote a post about it: HERE

Jesus! What a nag.

He seems to have conveniently forgotten that it was one of his own whiny little alter egos that complained about the judging of the Sunday quiz which is why I decided to discontinue it.

Because there will be clamouring for something like the quiz though I've decided that instead of the quiz we will have a weekly riddle presented by a different curmudgeon. First up The Music Curmudgeon has volunteered. Take it away TMC.

Thanks TC, that's a great idea and I'm sure we at The Curmudgeons Inc.ⓒ can come up with some riddles to stump the readers - I mean, how hard would that be? I have a good one to kick off and am offering  an interesting LP to the first person who solves the riddle. This is Sam Sacks's famous recording "Sing It Again Sam!'


No need to thank me. Here's this week's music riddle:


A rock group has four members, each of whom are dead. People still come to see them even though an album was never released. What is it?

Stick your riddle up your arse.

No, sorry, that was a statement and not a band name.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.

TMC was right. You guys couldn’t find your arses using both hands.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Well, finding our respective arses might be more productive long term.
By the way, I found mine this afternoon. It's sort of around the back.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Anyway, talking about arses, that might be a good place to store your riddle.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Can’t solve it then?

Richard (of RBB) said...

Mt. Rushmore.


Pretty obvious really.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Correct .... but, in the competition rules and regulations (to be found in The Curmudgeons Inc. constitution [ref: The Curmudgeons Inc. constitution/competition rules and regulations article 177.b.] in the event of a contestant providing the correct answer, before confirmation and the award of the particular competition's prize, a web check needs to be done to verify that no unauthorised use of electronic media was involved i.e. internet cheating.

It's a fair cop.
