Got most of these riddles myself, but 2, 6 and the bonus one stumped me.

For 2 I was stuck on quick/fast for the first clue and apple for the third, with no idea on the second. For 6 I got row and even considered lynx, but I don't like tones for the third clue and would never have got it.

It took a bit of help at the end, but I think the riddle is Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show

I got "and the medicine show" without knowing that was even the name of a band, but couldn't get the first half. I should have got dock but I don't like "tore" for "ripped"; it works, but I don't like it. Same with "hook". Even after hearing the answer I had to go back and work through it and grudgingly admit it isn't technically unfair or unreasonable.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress still ranks as one of my all-time favorites. And yeah, he went into a Weird/Dirty Old Man phase in his later writings.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress posted:

Lajoie shivered. �At her age? It scares me to think of it. She�s below the age of consent. Statutory rape.�

�Oh, bloody! No such thing. Women her age are married or ought to be. Stu, is no rape in Luna. None. Men won�t permit. If rape had been involved, they wouldn�t have bothered to find a judge and all men in earshot would have scrambled to help. But chance that a girl that big is virgin is negligible. When they�re little, their mothers watch over them, with help from everybody in city; children are safe here. But when they reach husband-high, is no holding them and mothers quit trying. If they choose to run corndors and have fun, can�t stop �em; once a girl is nubile, she�s her own boss.

The girl in question is 14.

It's a stretch but I think "Is this Rare Yuban for Allah Malyv?" = "Is this where you've been for all of my life?"

We also have another blackboard full of clues to solve and I really show my lack of knowledge of the horror genre.

To those riddles, I say "gently caress off". Garbage. Awful. I was disappointed in myself that I hadn't managed to solve a single one - until I found out what the answers actually were. The previous ones were decent, these ones suck poo poo.
