riverbed

You know, a water pump is exactly what I was originally trying to get people to guess (a diversion). Looks like it worked somewhat.
None of the above are right.

Ready and willing.
It's a Pikachu!

Seriously though....

the ground? earth? soil?
l'appel du vide
Haha...ok...howsabout...

Perhaps "river" doesn't refer to water...

a thermostat?
hmmm...

door
Aardvark?
Aardwolf?
Aba?
Abaca?
Abacus?

Okay I made my own interpretation of the words, but it might not be it...

Is it ice? I'm just saying because it fits a few of the phrases.

It usually forms behind a building where it is cool. And it winter the river flows underneath ice. Icicles are trapped on rooftops until someone pulls them down. It doesn't fit the last phrase as far as I know. Someone who is thirsty can also melt the ice to drink it and open ice in water is constantly moving. And for the very last phrase the only thing I can come up with is that ice has no will so if it is thrown, it can't argue.
Hmm. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess a
Tectonic Plate?

I have no idea but I have my own.
I missed out on a dvd recorder yesterday in a quiz because of this.

It has to fit them all. It's a riddle.

The Link: I wish I could say I've never heard that one before and then get the right answer, but yeah, I've heard it. One of my favourites.

Here's a similar one:
What five-letter English word retains its pronunciation when its last four letters are removed?

Queue.  That one's too easy.
Maybe
A tree?

Nah, I think you're confused. There's just one riddle in my first post - it has two stanzas.
Armor Guardian
A riddle?
A campground?

Tricky one... there's certain lines that lead me in one direction, if I make a certain assumption... but then, it doesn't fit with the rest of the lines.

Nah. But you can expect me to give the answer later tonight.

After thinking a bit more, I'm thinking that it's a
map

Oh and I'm going to say
a map on the side of the road
just for safety.

I really don't see the point of using spoilers here though :/.

I have a feeling that once the answer is revealed, the majority of us are going to feel either extremely stupid or very confuzzled.

Probably both, but hopefully solely the former.

As well as that fits, no.

The answer is
an electric outlet.


Thoughts on this riddle as a whole? Was it too hard, or did you all just completely miss my double meaning in the first two lines (which was what I was attempting to do)? It seems I hid it effectively - perhaps too much so.
My sister did get this, while working together with my dad. He guessed a power cord, while she got the correct answer. My mom also guessed a neon sign, which doesn't really fit the clues very well, but at least they all realised it had something to do with electricity.
I got the double meaning, but was too stupid to figure out the rest of it. I'd have expected someone to nail it now I know the answer, but I guess the fact that nobody on the boards did suggests it might have been a touch on the tricky side.

Good job, though.

Thanks. I am leaning toward keeping the trickiness, however, as I am looking forward watching peoples' expressions as they go, "ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!".
