By way of reminder, the object of this game is to solve the clue presented by the previous poster and then set your own clue.
Anything from the (worldwide) crossword arena is acceptable by way of clue style, but if you stray from the pure path beware the scourge of... ...Pandora's WET NOODLE!
The puzzle could be an old favourite or something of your own making. Don't be shy: this is for everyone, not just the old hands!
There is nothing to prevent (say) a couple of related clues if offering a single clue cramps your style.
If there are multiple answers involved, there is no restriction against one person solving all and the solver of the final clue/part is the one who goes next.
Obviously you need to await confirmation of a correct answer before posting your own puzzle, but please then do so reasonably promptly: if having answered correctly you are not going to be able to set a follow-up clue within about the next 24 hours, please pass your turn to someone else so that the game does not stall.
To save the poor demented solvers from excessive brain damage , you should consider revealing one letter of the answer (in any position) when the question is set, unless the answer is very short/easy so that provision of a letter hint at the outset would spoil the sport!
If no-one is biting within about 24 hours you probably need to start dropping additional hints.
To try to give everyone a fair crack of the whip, the immediately previous setter is asked not to post a solution to the current clue within the first 24 hours.
The weighty trophy to be passed to whoever solves your clue is the jewel-encrusted World Clue Federation championship belt ===[**WCF**]===
Constructive criticism and cheerful badinage are to be expected, not to mention a certain amount of national rivalry, but above all, have a bit of fun!

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Apropos of nothing much but for a different view of this thread via Gizoogle.net: By way of reminder, tha object of dis game is ta solve tha clue presented by tha previous posta n' then set yo' own clue. Anythang from tha (worldwide) crossword arena be acceptable by way of clue steez yo, but if you stray from tha pure path beware tha scourge of... ...Pandoraz WET NOODLE! Da puzzle could be a oldschool most straight-up bangin or suttin' of yo' own making. Don't be shy: dis is fo' everyone, not just tha oldschool hands! There is not a god [blip] thang ta prevent (say) a cold-ass lil couple related clues if offerin a single clue cramps yo' style. If there be multiple lyrics involved, there is no restriction against one thug solvin all n' tha solver of tha final clue/part is tha one whoz ass goes next. Obviously you need ta await confirmation of a cold-ass lil erect answer before postin yo' own puzzle yo, but please then do so reasonably promptly: if havin answered erectly yo ass is not goin ta be able ta set a gangbangin' follow-up clue within bout tha next 24 hours, please pass yo' turn ta one of mah thugs so dat tha game do not stall. To save tha skanky demented solvers from excessive dome damage , you should consider revealin one letter of tha answer (in any position) when tha question is set, unless tha answer is straight-up short/easy so dat provision of a letter hint all up in tha outset would spoil tha shiznit playa! If no-one is bitin within bout 24 minutes you probably need ta start droppin additionizzle hints. To try ta give mah playas a gangbangin' fair crack of tha whip, tha immediately previous setter be axed not ta post a solution ta tha current clue within tha straight-up original gangsta 24 hours. Da weighty trophy ta be passed ta whoever solves yo' clue is tha jewel-encrusted Ghetto Clue Federation championshizzle belt ===[**WCF**]=== Constructizzle jive-ass shiznit n' cheerful badinage is ta be expected, not ta mention a cold-ass lil certain amount of nationistic rivalry yo, but above all, gotz a lil' bit of fun!

I want this answer to be Marigold - mar (spoil) + i (iris initially) + gold (or) = another flower, but that only works if there are 8 letters rather than 9, so I am probably making a fool of myself (nothing new)...

For shizzle, that is the correct response. It would help if I could count.

Being a little clearer, and perhaps more legal: Novel title for variety of garden produce lacking colour (3,6)
