Thats probably right, or close, Jean. I know I am way off. I am to literal for riddles
I am not sure about "What you need to get “in”, but at least those two would make "reserve". Maybe.
You are walking in a forest and you come upon a door marked “U.”
You open it and see:
A bad place for a splint
Hebrew’s 21
A Dominican’s neighbor.
shin?
res + serve + a shin could make reservation
Also, if Mosquito is capitalized on purpose, I think it refers to the combat aircraft, but I don't know where to go on.

Right thus far sir. But the caps mean nothing.

if you take the letters on the doors in order, you get "STATUS".
So we got:
Status
S:---
T:---
A:---
T:-, Tennis, Sir -- Certainness? Certainty?
U:Reservation
S:---

I think this riddle stands at
S - unsolved
T - unsolved
A - re
T - serve
U - a shin
S - unsolved
So it's ______ reservation ___

Could the first S be "buzzer"
a mosquito is a buzzer
when a buzzer sounds, you change sides
when time is up, a buzzer sounds off
longshot, but ...?
A longshot right at the buzzer and she...is just short.
Sarry. I think I got a bit confused on the first "S." fr that try playing tri bond...I mean tri bond in its original form. I think Misstress knows that form. Tri bond was not intended to be so direct as we play it. You have a combinaytion od clues and words that will go with the answer to make a common phrase. You have 2 common phrases and 1 related theme. Sorry!:beat:

Yeah, that's why I was commenting... wondered if it could be slightly different from Jean's answer. :)
Naw, this riddle got buried and I forgot about it. It sank to the bottom like all turds.

= Freed up continuing with the previous theme....
No sir. There is a very specific term. I have used that line to describe that term in a bit of a silly manner.
I think this riddle stands at
S - unsolved
T - unsolved
A - re
T - serve
U - a shin
S - unsolved
So it's ______ reservation ___
Sorry. I just saw this.
It's "____ _____ reservation"
As for the hint requested...
What, in common, is missing from these three words to make a phrase?

A goose for you...but you have to find it!

Mosquito gave me Off!(The bug spray), and you're little *Sits back;Comfortably Numb* gave me The for the Pink Floyd movie/song "The Wall"...that was a seriously hard riddle, Jon. :clap:
Honestly... when I wrote it I thought it would be dead meat in a day or so.
Is the phrase just unheard of?
BROWNINGS CHILDE

Never heard the phrase, never would have gotten the first two clues.
SigTauGimp
01-14-2009, 01:09 AM
No, I've definitely heard it before...it just came to me after you had fixed up the "___Reservation___" to "___ ___ Reservation".
I will admit that I probably wouldn't have figured out the "Loose cannon" bit, though. :doh:
