The Riddler (Not to be confused with the Hamburgler)



Archtype. Symbolism. Why?
Why not just pull back a veil and show?
Why couch in serpents and eagles; tin men and scarecrows?
You know why.
You’ve read this far haven’t you.
Because you love a good riddle, a quizzer if you will; and you will. Till the hens come home to roost you will.
The riddle answer?
I have no fucking clue.
Does that upset you?
Well life is full of upsetting matters.
Especially unsolved riddles.
But maybe it is solv-able.
This solv-able sense that you have; this is the key to understanding all of this hitherto nonsense; who uses three semicolons in a row?
But I digress, epistemologically, you are wired to think matters (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) are solv-able.
You my friend, possess a solv-ability-sense.
Use it.
Or lose it.
But then let’s say you lost it; wouldn’t your own solv-ability-sense want to get it back?
Perpetuating the whole matter (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) all over again?
You my friend are in a vicious cycle of love-a-riddle-solve-a-riddle-need-a-riddle-which-is-in-and-of-itself-another-riddle-to-be-solved-a-riddle…
You get the point.
...or do you…because if you don’t, IT’S A RIDDLE… perpetuating the whole matter (i.e. riddles, quizzers, figuring out the Browns drafting rationale) all over again?

With all this riddling going on, thank god I'm a Country boy.
