Matt Logelin's blog

You may remember my earlier post where I pointed to the blog of a young father coping with a brand new baby girl in the midst of his grief (his wife Liz died unexpectedly of a blood clot the day after their daughter Madeline was born). I have set up a syndicated feed to his blog: mattlogelin.

Madeline just turned five weeks old and is getting cuter every day.

Friday's Rubber Chicken Riddle

This is getting a tad bit confusing . . .

The last few exchanges have gone:

Judith over at MacPhail posted: What does the RUBBER CHICKEN band like to drive?

First we posted A stretch limo

and Judith at MacPhail posted A Mini-Couper.

Above that she posted:

How do RUBBER CHICKEN rock stars get to their gigs?

This was puzzling. It seemed to be a riddle that begged the answer we had already given ("A stretch limo,") but I decided to put up another answer: By jumping on the rubber bandwagon (escorted by a bouncer)"

Today I watched as Judith put up a new sign:

What kind of a job does a 300 lb RUBBER CHICKEN have? She saw me, I saw her, we exchanged waves, and I walked away, pondering.

Well, a bouncer, obviously, but that was part of the answer to their last riddle.

I wonder if she now thinks we're playing Jeopardy? In other words, we posted an extra answer to one of the riddles, and now she is posting riddles as responses to our answers instead of us posting answers to her riddles?

At any rate, can you think of any other job that a 300 lb rubber chicken can have, besides a bouncer???

I am definitely ordering the rubber chicken earrings for her. I may even get a pair for myself.
