It's odd, but it's not peculiar

[gatorparrots]

In keeping with the other thread in this forum, I have another game for you. The game is called It's odd, but it's not peculiar. That's the name of the game and the game is in the name.

I'll start:

It's butter, but it's not oily.

 

[MacAddikt]

how does this game work? do we answer you and then put our own?

 

[gatorparrots]

The goal is to figure out the proper response and post back when you think you have guessed the correct way to respond (use the first post as your guideline).

Here's another example for good measure:
It's nutty, but it's not Mr. Peanut.

 

[hotlead]

Peanut butter?

 

[Fluid]

I'm :wacko:

 

[gatorparrots]

Remember, the name of the game and the game is in the name. Example #3:
It's messy, but it's not dirty.

 

[muso]

I dont' get it either! : Do you have to answer with a 'its not...but' statement or a noun?

 

[MacAddikt]

ill take a stab at it...

its Apple, but it's not Macintosh

 

[gatorparrots]

You've got it, MacAddikt. Give me one more example to prove that you have figured out the pattern.

Then we'll see if anyone else can guess the pattern, so don't give it away!

It's confusing, but it's not Windows

hehe

 

[MacAddikt]

i think ive figured it out, and i see that mine was starting a new topic. ill go back to the first example. this is a pretty neat game

It's sticky, but it's not gum

 

[gatorparrots]

Sorry! I thought you had it figured out, MacAddikt. Try this:
It's gummy, but it's not sticky.

Actually:
It's baffling, but it's not Windows.

It has a shell, but it's not UNIX

 

[gatorparrots]

Success! (Although your example isn't strictly according to the pattern, I will accept it.)
Please give one more example to prove yourself, that you have truly solved the mystery of the game.

 

[Fluid]

Is this right?

It's funny, but not a joke

 

[gatorparrots]

That's right Fluid. One more to prove you guessed the riddle!

 

[rman]

Okay, I will try. :blink:


It has wings, but doesn't fiy.

 

[Fluid]

It's a ball, but not round.

 

[MacAddikt]

its tall, but not wide
