Subject: Green Glass Doors

Written By: nondiva234 on 06/27/09 at 6:53 pm

How about this fun game! Let's share what we like and what we don't like.

BUT HOLD UP!

There's a little twist. There's a mystery rule that dictates what you like and don't like. I, as I know the game, will moderate and see if what you have stated you like and don't like is correct.

Let's begin with some examples:

I like butter, but I don't like dairy products. I like books, but I hate reading. I love watching The Office, but I hate watching television. Finally, I love the city of Cannes, but I don't like France.

Do you get it? Read the title of this thread if you are stuck. It's a really big clue as to what the rule is.

Good luck!

You actually like pizza and cheese. But you hate Italian cuisine, though. :) Get it? Try again and I'll see if you've got it right.

The only thing you like on this list is cooking. Everything else you hate.



I like cocoa but I hate chocolate


You don't like either. You do like Coffee Crisp, though! :)



I like Ketchup, but I hate tomatoes


Nope. You actually hate both.


I like green grapes, but I hate red grapes.

I like beans, but I hate peas.

I like driving, but I hate traffic.

I like airplanes, but I hate flying.


Nope. You actually hate all of them.

Does anybody get the hang of the game? Let me tell you another thing I like and don't like. I like watching The Apprentice, but I don't like watching NBC.

I like map reading, but I hate being lost


I hate being lost, Phil, but I'd rather use Google Maps to get me to places. I'm sure you do too. :)


I like the aroma from flowers, but I hate hay fever


I don't mind sneezing actually. I don't like the aroma from flowers, though.


I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.

I like dreaming, but I hate to sleep


Sleeping is good for you, Frank. You should always try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. :) I don't like dreaming, though. Neither do I nightmares.


I like making love in the afternoon, but I hate Cecilia


I hate Cecilia too, Phil. But I'd much prefer having nookie in the afternoon. :)


I love roses, but I hate flowers


I don't like either of them. I like lillies, though. :)

I think the closest someone came to getting it right was Frank with "like dreaming, but hate sleep." You're right, Frank, but you reversed it.

Let me give a big hint: Look at the spelling of the words "Green Glass Doors." Let's expand it to a bigger size:

Green Glass Doors

Here's another clue. Again, look at the spelling:

Kittens can go through the green glass doors, but not cats.

To be fair, I had to wiki it:

The Green Glass Door, also Deep but not Profound, is a common word game where a player already introduced to the game (understands the 'trick' to it) gives clues to a new player about what does or does not belong behind the 'green glass door'.

All the clues will have words that have exactly 2 duplicate letters which belong inside the green glass door. It is better to have the two items mentioned related in some way to greater confuse the individuals participating in the riddle.

examples:
Behind the door you may attend classes at school or college but not courses at a university.
There is a moon but no sun.
There is grass but no dirt.
There is a book but no pages.
There are no clothes but there are speedos.

For Philip and our other Brits:

In England, a common variation is talking about what Harry the Hippo does (double letters) and does not like.

Just in case you are familiar. ;)

Yes. That's it. :)

Phillip may enter the grees glass doors, but not Philip.

You may eat Philippine cuisine behind the green glass doors, but not Asian cuisine.
