Despite my obvious characteristics,
I can offer no assistance:
I cannot help you turn the earth or plant a simple flower.
I cannot finalize the deal on your engagement day.
I offer you no steady beat, hour upon hour.
No cudgel used in self-defense to keep attacks at bay.

What am I?

Not sure why I thought of this - Conscience

I don't think that's enough information, to be honest....

Blackrose, Conscience is not correct.

John_and_Yoko, if you consider the clues given, there should be enough information to solve. I believe it to be a fair riddle. All will become clear in the fullness of time. ;)

Despite my obvious characteristics,
I can offer no assistance: AID? HELP?
I cannot help you turn the earth or plant a simple flower. PLOW? HOE?
I cannot finalize the deal on your engagement day. RING? DIAMOND?
I offer you no steady beat, hour upon hour. DRUM? CLOCK? HEART?
No cudgel used in self-defense to keep attacks at bay. BAT? CLUB?

And after typing all of the above out... are you a deck of cards?

spade
diamond
heart
club

Thank you, sir.

I-tunes, Ambient music, DropZone on SomaFM...usually what I happen to be listening to at the time I am writing or working on the riddle. Kinda of a space music nut. I think I picked up the practice that was followed on the original board. If I am not mistaken, I think I read that that was how you titled many of your riddles. Just learning at the feet of the master. ;)

Well, since you asked... yes I've been lurking under this assumed name.

I'm surprised my superior typing skills didn't give me away ;)

GREAT!!

She came out of the closet!

I suspect it was she when she was just too good. Just like...Mistress! That was my first clue.

At one point she made a comment that showed she was...a little older than 18. :lol::lol:

:D I don't remember that remark... hmmm Jon?
Jon
05-13-2008, 08:07 AM
Nor do I ma'am. But I clearly remember thinking "she's a little too good to be an actual noobie."

Then the comment I cannot remember that dated her.
