Riddle me timber

These should stump you for at least three minutes. Solve them if you dare.

Riddle #1:
I am seen in the water
If seen in the sky,
I am in the rainbow,
A jay's feather,
And lapis lazuli.

Riddle #2:
I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

If you google these to find the answer, God will know.

you guys are all so dumb. harsh but true. you actually thought about the answers. i immediately clicked on the comments and HELLO- there they were.

P.K. Swarthy said nothing about God knowing if we cheated off our fellow commentors. BWAHAHAHAHA.

I like to cheat. At riddles. And at running races. Running is HARD.

e.l. or should i say Ms. Awesome,

Ms. Awesome? are you trying to say that you are awesome, because all you have officially said is that your last name is Awesome. My last name is Winfrey, however, that does not make me kin to Oprah. See my point?

I will explain further, when i sign-off 'i am awesome' there are two profound statements being made:

1. i am awesome - simply stating that i am awe inspiring...this is a point that cannot be contested because it is obvious when you see these sculpted guns, ripped abs and experience my razor sharp wit that i am awesome.

2. i am awesome - meaning that i am at my essence the definition of the word 'awesome'. this may be harder to understand, but think on it awhile...you'll get it.

Man, I make good arguments. take that e.l. awesome...if that is even your real name...


taking an egomaniacal dietary supplement,
i'm awesome

Dear Egomanic,
Word on the street is, you are doubting my awesomeness for reasons undisclosed. First of all, I can't play word games with you, because you wouldn't understand the big words i'm using. In fact, this whole diatribe (that means a long speech in your words)has to be written on a 7th grade level, so i'm having my 7-year old niece proof-read it. So, if you don't understand anything, talk to her.
Second, apparently, based on your descriptions of yourself, your physical characteristics have changed dramatically since the last time I saw you and you told me I smelled like your grandmother. Unfortunately for you, I don't think your physical attributes qualify you for the heading "awesome", but because I'm kind, I'll give it to you anyways.
Third, a very smart person once said "True genius cannot be appreciated by those who do not know true genius themselves."

A very busy, very important person,
e.l.

you cut right to the core of me e.l.
however, my arguements, however personal they seem, when read carefully, are obviously only debating semantics. not personal fault or short-coming...

taking the high road,
obviously not awesome

p.s. tell you niece i said hi, i like her, SHE is nice

p.ss. 'anyways' is not a word. nor would it be proper word usage, even if it were a word...which it's not

I, Emily Louise Brown, being of sound mind and body, do hereby decree peace, with a one Mr. Awesome. I declare that he is awesome in his own right and do swear to abstain from any further tongue-lashings or personal attacks. Let the former peaceable and humorous blogging commence.

do you realize that in your legally binding document you just made us brother and sister...Ms. Awesome...Mr. Awesome? Thank goodness you didn't name yourself Mrs. Awesome in that earlier post. You would have some mighty fast explainin' to do....

Also, I had not realized that my name was

I'm Awesome Awesome

It's a nice sentiment and all, but don't you think that it's a little overkill...

Sibling rivalry, ain't that always the case,
(apparentely) i'm awesome awesome

crap. i just erased a whole paragraph that i wrote. First of all, in the legally binding contract, I named myself "emily louise brown", not Ms. Awesome, therefore we are not brother and sister. Thank goodness, because if i'm not married by the time I am 33, you're up Mr. Awesome, and I refuse to marry a relative. (that's what would get me to be unmarried and 33) moving on, i always though your first name was "I'm" and your last name was "Awesome", if this is not true, please clarify in any further posting.

Keeping the peace is hard to do,
e.l.
