    :rose: Nothing Ventured... Nothing Gained



    Heartless in the first place.
    Dangerous in the second.
    unwitting in the third.

    Stop repeating everything I say.
    A diamond ring was one step too far.
    Only Ernst would calculate the risk of arm wrestling a Zen Master.

    This is the word.

    Thus far I am clueless.

    But rest assured, If you are not too convoluted, someone will get it. there may be a need for hints though. Only give them if asked ok?

    Damn, my head is spinning over this one...

    Heartless in the first place. Cold or Cruel?
    Dangerous in the second. Bad or Risky
    unwitting in the third. Innocent or Fool

    Stop repeating everything I say. mimic? parrot?
    A diamond ring was one step too far. engaged?
    Only Ernst would calculate the risk of arm wrestling a Zen Master. WTF? Who is Ernst and WHY would he wrestle a Zen Master. Oddly enough, there were pages that come up in Google if you enter Ernst, "Zen MAster" and "arm wrestling".


    Geriatric vacationers from The Great White. Old Campers Way (Great White Way)
    We are the same, you and I. Us?, Equals?
    This is the word. This?

    marcel marceau's (Mime? Bip? Clown?)) parrot (polly, kea, ara) must die (expire).

    Not sure of all the clues but James Bond seems to fit the 2nd stanza...kinda...in a remote, distant, tenuous sorta way...Diamonds Are Forever, maybe? But I am really kinda lost....

    There is a nursery rhyme that goes "Hush little baby don't say a thing...mommas gonna buy you a diamond ring." Anything there?
    Only Ernst would calculate the risk of arm wrestling a Zen Master.
    Like Ernst and Young? Ernst Max?

    Gabe - line is "Hush little baby don't say a word, momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird, and if that mocking bird dont sing, mommas gonna buy you a diamond ring." Thus mockingbird seems to fit some of these, Stop repeating everything I say.
