If someone could tap into the psych that made this (other) thread hit 1000 in whatever long and re-create it as a business, they'd be a millionaire.

You may not have understood what I wrote there but it made perfect sense in my head. It stands.

Meanwhile, the foxes are getting fatter.

BoswellAndNotAndAFox · 04/12/2018 23:30

And the answer to OP's "AIBU to ask for your help solving this impossible riddle/joke" is clearly Yes YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU.

MightyMagnificentScarfaceClaw · 04/12/2018 23:30

My in laws do amusing quizzes and riddles at family events. They are the bane of my life, I still remember one horrible Christmas when I couldn’t get an answer and FiL would NOT let me go to bed until I got it. It felt like hours, I still shudder thinking of the horror. I want to know the Bos riddle so I can use it on the fucker this Christmas, if anyone deserves this mindfuckery it’s my FiL.

ChaseOnTheCase · 04/12/2018 23:31

Just read through 1000 comments on the last thread and still no answer. Roll on Thursday night!

BoswellAndNotAndAFox · 04/12/2018 23:32

No need to get personal, Jeez.

DerekTheWonderdog · 04/12/2018 23:33

Boswellandinotafox - I may or may not have got your name wrong. I won't apologise though.

I have got it but I'm not allowed to say. It would ruin it if I said. There's a point to 'not telling' but I can't tell you why. When you get it you'll noreplacementsfound.

Monst3ra · 04/12/2018 23:33

I really thought there would be an answer to this by now.

I hope it's worth it.

BoswellAndNotAndAFox · 04/12/2018 23:34

*CORRECTION ^^

OP is sincere and not trolling. Blush

DerekTheWonderdog · 04/12/2018 23:36

Boswell don't take a fence.

What did the duck say to the person who worked behind the bar of the pub?

Put it on my bill 🦆 🦆

Yes I reckon you're spot on.

gaggiagirl · 04/12/2018 23:40

*There was a man whose name was Boswell, for short they called him Bosandhewalkedupthepostofficesteps..."

And quick as a flash someone wittily intercepted with "that's not short for Boswell!!"*

I think this too ^

DerekTheWonderdog · 04/12/2018 23:40

It's almost more annoying not being able to say Boswell. I feel like grandpa in The Walton's probably felt, but for his whole life!

VisitorsEntrance · 04/12/2018 23:41

Shouldn’t we wait for the op to start a thread so her posts are highlighted?

BoswellAndNotAndAFox · 04/12/2018 23:41

noreplacementsfound

don't take a fence.

Are you dropping clues? [/searching look]

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 04/12/2018 23:52

Who thinks this Riddle/Joke will end up in the DM tomorrow haha

Tomorrow's top DM headline:
"The hilariously fiendish riddle that's baffling the Internet - and the originator is going to be VERY revealing on Thursday. Something random and misogynistic about ample assets, eye-popping cleavage and pert derrieres!"

Botanica · 04/12/2018 23:52

@DerekTheWonderdog
Two questions:

  • will we definitely know when we get it? It is that obvious that there's no doubt?
  • will it be worth the agony to keep trying to work it out?
MightyMagnificentScarfaceClaw · 04/12/2018 23:56

Andi? Andy walked up the post office steps??

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 04/12/2018 23:56

This is rapidly turning into the Dave of MN threads. People are just repeating the same suggestions (some quoting verbatim what they wrote in the original thread) and this too will get up to another 1000 posts before very long.

By the way, I know it's been asked many, many times before, but why do so many people fill up the thread unnecessarily and slightly indulgently by writing 'Placemarking'? If only there were a function on MN to 'Watch this thread'....

MightyMagnificentScarfaceClaw · 04/12/2018 23:58

Uh oh, thread police are here. Evening all.

DerekTheWonderdog · 05/12/2018 00:00

Botanica
Yes
No

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 05/12/2018 00:02

Just a warning to everybody NOT to all bombard @DerekTheWonderdog with PMs as receiving 15,000 messages (and email notifications of the messages too) could get so immensely irritating that he/she might see no alternative but to just come out with it and reveal the answer in this thread.... Grin

BTW, does the OP actually know of the existence of this new thread....?!

DerekTheWonderdog · 05/12/2018 00:03

Maybe Muumsnet should introduce a 'posting tax'.
30 posts £1
100 pats £2
500 parody's £3.

Like a mobile phone. Or not. I can't tell anymore.
