I'm heading out for a while, but figured I would submit the following to the creative minds of EE.
It's a riddle, and the only clue given is simply:
You'll be running like machete that cat paddles.
I'm at a loss. Ideas and suggestions welcome.

I don't have a clue... but I wonder if "machete" and "cat" are some sort of "Brand Names" or slang for something - like Bikes or Boats or ski's or some machinery of some sort or something like that?
What's the context of the Riddle that might help figure it out?

"Cat" is short for Caterpillar, the maker of big earth-moving equipment. A machete cuts down tall grasses and crop growth, so a "cat" can get in and then move the earth that is left behind. OK, not much help, but I'm trying. And I think Virgil is full of it. He knows the solution, and is pretending he doesn't.

it just reads very choppy, like there's a word missing. and it's certainly not a question.

Dang! Google was no help! Except to remind me that Angry Video Game Nerd exists and I should watch some more of that.

Ephraim Vega was a wrestler that used the name Machete. I think the riddle has something to do with him being a .

You sayin' POM's mind is a sad place? It's actually a happy place inside POM's head... a little bit of an echo, but still happy. ;D

Not that I want to drag the thread back on topic ( I would NEVER, EVER attempt such a thing here ), but has anyone got a clue to this damn riddle? I've read it 6 times and I don't even have a stupid joke remark I could make about it.

I'm thinking it's an anagrammed message. Now he's making the nerd in me want to de-code and solve it.

Hi MB! I'll take a stab at it! ;D Could be: "you'll be turned on like "sword" that Cougar abuses".

Hi to you too DT! It's been a while. I dunno; your guess seems to make some sense, but I don't think that's it. I'll bet this is one of those things that when we do get the answer, we'll all sit back, slap our foreheads (or five-heads), and say "But, of course!" Or, this will be one of those things that when we do get the answer, will still be sitting like bumps on a log and saying "Huh? ??"
