    There is a quote: "There are many shades of green" - but that seems weak to me...

    Could it really be "clams on the half shell"?

    Kermit sang the song: "It isn't easy being green"

    That, too, seems weak.

    Nix, why the urgency?

    All of the above is not difficult if you calmly try to solve one at a time. Take this one for example:

    Green is part of the answer, but look at how many times you see this word. Yes it's misspelled, but how? Put this information together and you'll have your answer.

    Re: Riddles Help..

    I'd like to have the rest of the questions.

    Back around the 70s, there was a beer brand that had things like this stamped on the bottoms of the bottle caps. The lids were gray, and had a picture of something (I think it was a beer stein, if I remember right) on the top. I don't know what beer that was, but the bottle caps were fun.

    Lucky Lager beer had bottle caps with riddles. There use to be a game show on TV that had the same type of puzzles.

    I heard about those bottle caps. I was drinking Kool-Aid around that time.

    I might have liked Lucky Lager in the 80s, from what I just read about it. I couldn't stand beer back then, but my friends only choices were the awful 3, Bud, Miller and Coors. It wasn't until I arrived in Germany that I discovered what a quality beer tastes like, but I would love to get my hands on some American craft beers!

    Actually Lucky was a level below Bud and Coors. It was super cheap and you got a riddle.

    Never liked craft beers, but I rarely drank beer because of the taste, I drank beer because of the affect.

    Hard to believe something worse than those two beers. They taste like crap, but got my friends where they wanted to be.

    That's funny. My favorite tasting beer was Bud.

    My favorite thing to drink is cold water. Refreshing and no after taste. Plus low carb, gluten free and vegan.

    I can't tell you my favorite tasting beer, but I'm trying a few new ones today. A small brewery was giving away free bottles of beer, two per person outside our local supermarket.

    If you try enough new ones, you won't be able to tell us anything, let alone which was best.

    Shaggy, I barely drink. After a bad weekend in 2000, I average now a beer or two every other month.

    Anyway, these two free beers will probably taste like the others.

    I don't drink at all, and never have, but I still make drunk references. It might be the company I keep.

    Same here when I was stateside.

    Damn, Budwieser was awful!



    My friends mostly drank that, but I have tried Coors and Miller, which were also crap!

    Ah, so you have drank. You just didn't like it. I know lots of people that don't drink but to NEVER have drank is different. I know some who haven't but it was a religious decision.
