Intriguing. But we usually take turns. The one who guesses the riddle, gets to ask the new one.Bianca Bennett 2 wrote: ↑23 Nov 2024, 23:18 I’m thinking maybe the moon?? I’m not sure but I came up with something

This is another wild guess, but could it be ... Liberal (as in party) vs liberal (as in accommodating)?Diana Lowery wrote: ↑23 Nov 2024, 13:20 Sorry I took so long. I have been traveling again, but this riddle does not involve my trip like my last riddle did.
This one is a homophone. It has political undertones, so I hope I don't offend anyone.
Sometimes campaign slogans use this word.
Sometimes the word does this.

The only thing I know about American political slogans is Make America Great Again?Diana Lowery wrote: ↑27 Nov 2024, 12:04 Nope, sorry. Liberal is a good guess, but it is not a homophone.

TRIVIA: I remember a story of a time at a White House ball a woman writer was making small talk with Abe Lincoln and asked him if he knew that the word "sugar" was the only english word that was written su but sounded sh. Lincoln immediately responded, "Are you sure?"

I am beginning to worry about @Diana Lowery. I greatly fear that she may have been abducted by the Space Gypsies.

@Bianca Bennett 2
@Diana Lowery
Diana, we checked often with the guard in the OnlineBookclub tower which overlooks the road to the drawbridge and his reply was always the same .... "She cometh not!" I speak for all when I say we are glad that you have returned unscathed.
NEW RIDDLE:
1) I am thought to mess up perms
2) I attend every baseball game
3) My excrement is oft compared to the antics of crazy people
What am I ?
