Riddles.

Recently my brother Sam got an iPod app that is filled with user uploaded riddles. On our way home from Church one day (It takes an hour to get home) he was reading riddles the WHOLE WAY HOME.


There are a few different types of riddles (technically only 2):

• An enigma is a problem in which the solution is expressed metaphorically. You have to carefully think about the riddle to come up with the solution. 
• A conundrum is a question that opens either the question or the answer. 
• Then there are the stupid ones that you could never have guessed.

A riddle, however, doesn’t need to be classified as one of these types. As long as it is difficult to figure out and has an answer or a meaning to it, it can be classified as a riddle.


We were getting a lot of the stupid ones and after a while we found a pretty steady pattern in the riddles and decided to stick with the same pattern of answers to guess with.

Our guessing pattern went as follows:

TIME....   nope...
LIGHT....    nope...
SHADOWS....  nope...
A BOMB....    nope...
POOP....    nope...


The first 3 where actually right 30% of the time.




I actually have a riddle for YOU!

I can sizzle like bacon, I am made with an egg, I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg, I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole, I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole, What am I?


Submit your answer to the Bulfenroben Facebook Page!
I will post the answer next Friday! GOOD LUCK!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that there is a prize for the winner. A digital prize that's actually worth something.

Once again... GOOD LUCK!


Edit:
The answer is: A Snake!

GOING TO DEE CEE!

Starting today, Friday, at 6:00 PM, I will be on a bus with a ton of other people on our way to Washington DC. The bus ride will be about 14 hours long. Luckily we will be sleeping for most of it.

Why are we going to DC? For the "March for Life"
Starting noon on Monday, we will be with around 150,000 other people, peacefully protesting against abortion.

This is a once in a lifetime chance for me, and I'm pretty exited to go.
Since I want you guys to experience the whole trip with me, I have set up something kind of cool.

This is how it works. Whenever I feel like I need to, I will write a short update/post, and upload it to Google maps. There, you can see my path of travel, and read the posts, where I sent them.
So if I'm in Indiana, and I write about the nasty Burger king food in a Burger king, then you will see the post, above a Burger king on the map.

Sadly this system doesn't work with pictures, SO, I have created a Picasa folder for all of the photos I take.

Each photo I take will have a number in its name that corresponds with the number on a post on the map, so you can know where I took it.





Since this is a work in progress, check back later and I will most likely have an update! That means, photos, map positions, little updates/posts.
(I will be done by 1/27/2012)

Stay tuned!

#3-1 Alpha 2

Thanks everybody who sent in all of their questions!

First question!

Dear BulfenRoben,

How do you find the motivation to get out of bed every day?

How can you look yourself in the mirror?

How can you LIVE with yourself?

~Boof

Uhh,

Next question!

Q. How long does it take to come up with these humorous and more or less witty posts about whatever.

~Victor

A. Well, The ideas usually just come to me when I'm messing around. But to iron them down to a post, about 2 hours. Not including pictures.

Next!

Q. How long does it take you to make the pictures on your blog?

~Koosh

A. It takes about a half of an hour each picture.

And then we have this lovely one.

Dear Rob and Ben,

I have read every blog post you have, and watched all of "Toobatee"'s YouTube videos. Does it startle you/scare you that you have no idea who I am...? Do you think I'm a creeper?

~Wendel

No, It doesn't scare me that there is somebody that I haven't met, reading my blog. That's what its for, ALL OF THE INTERNET!

And, no, I don't think your a creeper. Just a fan.

And then, we have all of these, from one person. (Thank you Lizzie!)

What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

That's hard. I haven't really had any that bad...

Well, I would have to say, when I was really little, (Like 6) all of our family was having a big birthday party. It was for like, 5 kids.

When it was time to open up gifts, every kid took a corner, and stashed all of their presents there. I was getting sick of waiting for somebody to give me a gift, so I decided to go and find my own gifts!

I marched away, found a gift, opened it up, and my mom told me that the person wanted to give it to me. I felt horrible.

It still haunts me to this day.

What is your dream job?

I think THIS. This right here. I think I would like to make a living off of my blog, YouTube video's and photography.

Or, something medical.

How did you come up with the name Toobatee?

I didn't actually. It was my little sister Rachel. When she was very small. She decided that she wanted to name all of her dolls, Toobatee!

How I decided to use it as a username, was when I used to play Runescape, and I forgot my password for my account. (This was about 6 years ago) I decided to make a new account, and gave it the name: TOOBATEE!

What books are your reading/what books do you recommend and why?

I am reading Rangers Apprentice. And, I suggest the Eragon series. Because its awesome.

Is your house haunted?

Sometimes, I hear crying babies coming FROM THE WALLS!

Just kidding. Its not.

What's your favorite Pixar film and why?

I love ALL of them. Cant pick a favorite. Its like picking a favorite food. IMPOSSIBLE.

Do you prefer pens or pencils? Chocolate or vanilla? Elevators or escalators? Fruits or vegetables?

Pencils. You can erase them.

Depends on what it is. If its ice cream, vanilla.

Escalators. You get to feel the breeze.

Fruit. Its sweet.

What's the most ridiculous/crazy/funny thing you've ever done?

(If enough people probably email me, I will think up an answer. I have done a lot of crazy things.)

If you were stranded on a desert island (with 1 food of your choice and water), what three other things would you choose to have and why?

Who is your favorite Axe Cop character and why?

Axe Cop. Because he's Axe Cop.

What's your favorite school subject?

Science.

Who/what do people say you look like?

A lot of people who know me say that I look like a doctor that we know.

What is the best thing you've ever ate?

Super fancy chicken. At my confirmation dinner.

And lastly, but probably most importantly...

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could CHUCK NORRIS?

If it chucked Chuck Norris, it would get round house kicked in the face.

How much wood could it chuck? I would guess zero. It cant chuck wood.

Phiew!

Next we have this one

Q. How long did it take to write your first blog post?

~Kristofer411

A. Hmm, probably 2 hours. We did it at around 1 am. Rob and I.

We had no idea what we where doing.

THE PICTURE I PROMISED!

Thank you guys for submitting your questions!

If you have any more questions, feel free to send me an email. It most likely wont be in another post, but I will still be happy to answer any question you have!

Thanks, guys!

#3-1 Alpha

Hey! I just got back from vacation yesterday night And wrote this blog post right afterwards. So, I'm tired, sleepy, I have to get up early in the morning, so I can't make a long awesome blog post full-o-pictures and all that stuff.

So, I'm initiating emergency blog post protocol #3-1 Alpha.

Basically, YOU guys will write it. Or, it-ish.

What will happen is you guys, will think of and email any question about BulfenRoben, and email it to bulfenroben@gmail.com and I will answer them in my next blog post, to the best of my abilities, possibly in a funny manor, depending on the question.

You can ask all the questions you want. Questions like,
What made you want to start a blog?
How you think of your blog posts, Anything!


Don't worry about emailing me. I will not distribute, spam, or even reply (unless I think it's necessary.) to your email, but that doesn't mean I won't read them.

I will most likely read them all.


Still need a reason to ask a question?
In the email, after the questions, you can give me a name for me to use in a picture I will make for you guys. A gift for being awesome.

Please note that you don't need to use your real name. Just make something up. And also note that you don't need to give me a nickname at all. Only do this if you want it to be used in my fancy picture.

Thank you all! And happy questioning!
