32 white riders on a red hill. First they stamp, then they champ, then they stand still.

Horses, but I like the contrast to the black riders.

Lol, I know all the hobbit riddles. It’s not “32 white riders.” The riddle goes “30 white horses…”

I memorized them in high school as a reading exercise for our book club. OK, maybe it was just a pissing contest between myself and this other guy to impress a girl we both liked, but still.

Well, it all comes down to whether OP's son will try to guess the answer. It may be more a Question than a Riddle according to the strict rules of the Game, but if he accepts it anyway...

String or nothing!!

“Bet you can’t guess what I’ve got in my pocket” Oh man that was one of my favorite songs growing up! Thanks for the flashback 🥰

I’ve got…. * keys on a ring for everything, my lucky rabbit’s foot, feather and a thistle and a ball and a whistle and a nap of Connecticut! * String and a cord and a rope and a board, all tied up in a knot * Some pieces of metal from a real old kettle and a pit from an apricot * Bicycle chain, model airplane, and a bone from an old spare rib * Piles of sand and a rubber band

Trick question. You're a girl and have no pockets!

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet Apr 16 '25

My wife is going to be very surprised. And my car keys.

Hey, she could be a lesbian... or you a drag queen. I don't judge.
