Hello, hello! Before I get started on the Riddle stats, I want to say one more time. Krath - we really miss you and hope you get better soon!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to more riddles. There was a tie on round 7 between LMH68 and super_snotling with 8 points each. I had to go dig around in the shed out back for a second shepherd's hook since there was a tie, but I found one. Make sure you put those to good use you two!

Anyone can play. Please add up your points and post them with your comment. 2 points for nailing the answer, 1 point for kinda getting it, 0 for not knowing or missing completely. The winner for Round 8 gets a pair of wool gloves. Enjoy!
