All right, I answered but guessed wildly at more than half. I don't want just answers... I want explanations!!!

I'm sure I've got snog, chuffed, rip-snorter, and drongo right (kiss, excited, hilarious, silly). "Punched On" I'm not sure of, I'd probably go for the 50/50 here and end up with "opened a bottle".
"frog and toad" is clearly rhyming slang for "road", I'm surprised you even gave the rhyming part, so it's "get moving."
"done a stevo"--outright guess on this one, I'm thinking probably it's to give up your place in line. Probably I'd use the audience poll here.
"kangaroos in your top paddock" has got to be "crazy". (I would have said "stupid" if that was a choice.)
"Killing the sorts", another toughie for an outsider.... Can't imagine its derivation... gotta go with "it doesn't match" because it just doesn't sound like a positive expression. Time for the phone-a-friend lifeline.
"Stroppy" = irritable. Easy one, finally.
"having a big butchers'", to me that would mean chowing on a large hunk of meat, so I'll go with "eating a large meal".
"have a lend of you" = "put you to work", I think. Like "get you to lend a hand" or something.
"having a veg" = doing nothing. Yay, another easy one.
"coming the raw prawn"... Gotta go with "being unprepared" on this one. Showing up raw, instead of fully cooked.
"drink some piss": Knowing (or at least believing) that Aussies love their beer, I'll go with the alcoholic binge.

I certainly do not want to be a millionaire, this would mean a substantial reduction in my wealth.

Well done!! An egg it is!
I used to know a lot more riddles.....but in my old age with the ol' memory...you know how it gets!!

Looks like good timing at the moment in actually catching people on line......

What are you doing in the garden today, Mignuna.....? and don't say it's not exciting.....the garden is an exciting sometimes terrrifying place (terrifying if you could see the 2m weeds growing in the very back of my yard....I don't have to go down there much...hence the neglect!)

Excellent work!! not to mention dagwood dogs, porky pies and trouble'n'strife (thought that one's a bit of a barry . . .)

Also just goes to prove my general ineptitude when faced with tv gameshows - would have won $2000 and then lost it all to "done a stevo". bloody bloody. thought my stroin was better than that . . .

Mignuna,

Good morning Good morning....what a wonderful day....hope you are happy and smiling with life going your way!!

Do you know that riddle .....the one that goes something like this......you are lost and come to two doors....one of the doors speaks and says that one of the doors leads home the other leads to certain death....you may ask one question of one of the doors in order to find the right way home...

I am 90% sure of the answer but I always get confused....?

Reply #23 September 12, 2004 10:03 PM from JoeUser Forums Top

crusaders,

you missed an important part of the riddle. One of the doors can tell only the truth, the other can tell only lies, but you don't know which...

The question you ask (either door) is "which door would HE tell me to go through to go home"...then you go out the other door.

If you ask the door who can tell only the truth, he will point to the door that leads to death, because if you asked the door that tells only lies, that's how he would answer.

If you ask the door who can tell only lies, he will also point to the door that leads to death, because that's the OPPOSITE of how the truthtelling door would answer.

You understand now?
