Oh, the Bunyip's going to get you in the Bunyip moon

[NemelChelovek]

Not to something Canadian, no.

[VastOne]

Ready to get me ass kicked a bit more too

Portsmouth
Wrong-Foot = Not confused?
Long paved road = Autobahn?
Though I did not desire rulership, I governed in the name of the Outsider my god = Something Roman?
Juice of Legume = Some kind of pod?

[NemelChelovek]

Once again, VastOne: wrong-FRONT, not wrong-FOOT. "I am not a wrong-front."

Everything else is incorrect as well. Sorry :p

[leaveittobeezer]

k i think i've got it

I belong only to he who is willing to exhaust my source.
Not sure quite how it fits here

A long road was paved and kept in my honor.
Referring to China trade route

I am not a wrong-front, and after dwelling in the Marina's Maw I went on to the Town of Anthropic Pastures.
Last name of the Right-Back (not wrong-front) of Mansfield Town (formerly of
Portsmouth)

I am the juice of a legume that tries not to be seen as such.
A brand of soy milk

The outsider my god one im not sure of, but is the answer...silk?

Oh well....

Sorry to be so DENSE Nemel....

[Rjeso]

Oooh, silk... hmm, I like that idea, Beezer...

[NemelChelovek]

DING DING DING

Silk it is!

Beezer has the answer. Good job my friend!

Here's the breakdown:

"I belong only to he who is willing to exhaust my source."
To get silk you need a silkworm's cocoon, but in taking the cocoon you kill the worm. Hence, you can't get anymore silk from it. The source is exhausted simply by taking it.

"A long road was paved and kept in my honor."
China's Silk Road.

"I am not a wrong-front, and after dwelling in the Marina's Maw I went on to the Town of Anthropic Pastures."

Right-back Gary Silk of Mansfield Town FC, formerly of Portsmouth FC.

"I am the juice of a legume that tries not to be seen as such."

Silk is a brand of soy-milk. Since soy beans don't have mammary glands, it's technically soy JUICE, but no one would drink something with a name like that.

"Though I did not desire rulership, I governed in the name of the Outsider my god. That might help you guess what I am called, eh?"

This was the trickiest one. In Gene Wolfe's series "The Book of the Long Sun," all the male characters are named after animals or animal products, while females are named after plants or plant products. The central character is a priest who is enlightened by a god known as "The Outsider," and because of this divine contact he is eventually elected ruler of his city. Their world for ruler is "Caldé." (called, eh?) The character in question is named...Silk.

A big silky goose for LITB. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

(And VastOne...I'm sorry if it seemed like I was mocking you. I wasn't.)

Damn good job NemelChelovek, and I never felt mocked...I was only flushed by my own ignorance....

Salutations to Beezer Well Done Sai

And if I read the rules right, I believe your on the block for a new riddle. I am now jonesin for a new one.....

[NemelChelovek]

Far as I know, the winner doesn't have to put up his/her own. I mean, he can if he has one he wants to put up, but he doesn't have to.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I'm proud of how this one turned out!

[leaveittobeezer]

im not sure i can follow that act...it may take me a while to construct one of that caliber.
bear with me

[leaveittobeezer]

here's a chestnut while i try to build something monumental...

"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."

[alinda]

hope

[leaveittobeezer]

[alinda]

Oh, yeah, is has been 1 riddle per, but I was hoping I finally had one

At the risk of breaking rules by addressing this, the answer is "tomorrow."
