A Winning Answer

Did I mention that we're looking for guest post submissions? Because we are. Just check out this post on Living to the Fullest and then send me an e-mail with your guest post idea!

... ... ... ...

Alright, people. The moment you've been waiting for... The real answer to the riddle was... (drumroll, please!)

Actually, I have an app on my iPod that makes a drumroll sound... and it claps, too!

Oh, wait... you're looking for an answer. Right.

The correct answer was...

An elevator!

If you think about it, it makes sense - I promise!

However, as I suspected, nobody guessed that. And, despite the fact that I said it wasn't my poor, beat up car, many of you still suggested that.

The best answer, then, was...

Michael, with "coffee!!"

Exclamation points always make stuff more interesting.

Anyway, if you look through the comments, you'll see that Michael didn't comment there - he actually submitted his answer in the form of a comment on the mobile version of this site (which I can't get to sync with my real website).

For his creativity (which was amazing - coffee actually works for every clue I gave!), Michael wins a $5 Amazon gift card! 

I hope to do more mini-giveaways like this in the near future, so keep a lookout for them!

Riddle Me This

Reminder: I'm still accepting "Living to the Fullest" submissions! If you've got an idea, don't hesitate. Send it my way!

... ... ... ...

I have a riddle for you. I'll give you 5 clues. If you figure it out, you'll feel smart and you'll know something more about me that you didn't know before!

Clue #1 - What... smells like some rancid mixture of old lady, alcohol, and pizza... But sometimes smells delightful - like cinnamon, even?

Clue #2 - What... relaxes me and brings me a moment of solitude and space to myself... But sometimes makes me as slow as molasses?

Clue #3 - What... allows me a quick chat with friends, or even strangers... But sometimes causes people to think I'm lazy?

Clue #4 - What... moves me from place to place... But keeps me stationary at the same time?

Clue #5 - What... makes my life easier... But makes it more complicated, too?

You've got until 5 PM CST (US) today to figure out this riddle. I'll post the answer then, along with an explanation. The best answer - not necessarily the correct one - will receive a small prize!


Also: In order to be eligible, you must be subscribed to Life Before the Bucket in some way (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, or a Feed Reader). When you answer, be sure to mention how you follow Life Before the Bucket!

For example... If you guessed car, you may be right, but it's a lame answer. If you, on the other hand, guessed a segue, that'd be epic (except it wouldn't be now). Be creative!

Good luck!
