A riddle of Plastic Chinese Food Boxes

Post by emotional leper »

The Strong that is old does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Yankees, famous for Frangrance?

Who knew?

The name of a sandgorgon, the name of a sandgorgon, the name of a sandgorgon.

Receipt of Delivery.

A one of a kind.

This is not an act of creative writing, nor of espionage. (So far as you're aware.)

First one to solve this puzzle gets a cookie. :P

Well, that's just a quote from Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail when the troll asked a few questions to the knights before crossing a bridge... Not a valid response, but at the moment I entertained myself at least....

Thought of the candle thing afterwards. I am sure that is part of the answer to EL's cryptic chinese conundrum.

I have no idea what's going on with the puzzle, but the thread title makes me crave Chinese food.

I don't know why he insists on posting it. . . but yes. I'll let him defend that. . . ;)

I promised him cookies for a large favor he's done for me. . . and general principles as well. I think I'm under some compulsion from the Emotional Leper demands cookies thread. . . 8O

Well...one of us should be. I hinted I would send macadamia nut cookies and have never gotten around to baking them.

Besides, he showed his appreciation for your cookies in the Hall of Gifts.
