It was the "him" that threw me.
Pose but give me a minute. I haven't thought in riddles for decades.
I am a barrel without content, I can float yet sink and yet you can pick me up with one hand. What am I made of?

OK, I can't be here all night. And you'll hate me. I did my best to make up a new riddle that could just be looked up. The answer is almost any small cylindrical cup. Go on without me.
OK, "What did Bilbo have in his pocket"? Winner goes next. Get me OUT of this... LOL!

Did you bother to read the OP?
Quote:First, a few rules.
1. No googling. I know, unenforceable, so we'll use the honor system.
2. First person to answer correctly gets to pose the next riddle, or pass. If passed, the previous person poses the next riddle
3. Wait for the person posing the riddle to verify your answer is correct. Not all obvious answers are the correct answer.
4. If a riddle goes unanswered, give the answer after 24 hours or so and pose a new one.
5. If a riddle gets answered correctly, but that person neither passes or poses a new riddle, the default is a pass after a reasonable time (say, 4-6 hours)
6. If there are no responses after more than 24 hours, anyone can pose the next riddle.
I think I was a little short-sighted with rules 5 and 6, seeing that we have people from both sides of the globe, so...

6. If there are no answers offeres after more than 48 hours, anyone can pose the next riddle.
This is supposed to be fun, not a load of stress. You're under no obligation to pose a riddle if you don't wish to and if the thread stands idle anyone can pose the next, though honestly, with the lack of interest shown recently, it may be better to just let the thread die.

Indeed he did, after the riddle had already been successfully answered and other riddles posed. The current riddle has been posed by SYZ.

The answer I had in mind is, "When it's spelled with a double 'g'." Your answer is close enough, however. "Hogg" is chiefly a British variant of "hog."
