Racecar would have been my first guess, but as Racecar was an answer in another riddle, with a few somewhat similar ideas, tips or clues used, I immediately discounted it. I should have learned elsewhere from prior riddles that the answer can repeat, but with just an added twist or two..
Oh, dear me, I seem to have committed the w h o o p s i e d o o d l e sBut if they have everything, then they'll already have all knowledge. Surely by definition, the only thing they won't have is nothing?
BTW, you may want to read @FayetheAspie's post #2021, being the OP here and defined the rules of this game. All are welcome here but we need to try and keep to the rules or we end up with confusion as to which riddle is in play.
That's permitted on this site, if not mandatory!
(a qualification for membership here!).I always miss these cryptic type clues! I hated them in crosswords, all they did was produce from me cross words!
Actually, thinking about it, breaking conventions (rules) that are unspoken but assumed by most of us, makes for a new method of mental torture, er, I mean intellectual interest!
Just saw the riddle. So will guess soon.
I wondered about that but there'd be only one line up and down?
I thought most notebook paper would have at least two vertical lines, one for each margin. I was not sure if any could have four vertical lines though.
@Boogs, I saw the “up and down” and “side to side” as the movements of a cocktail shaker producing “short or tall” cocktails, so there was another view by which your guess may have been validated. But it was wrong.Sorry, I'm not sure I can adequately explain, probably cultural differences. Just some of the phrases - "several lines" - multiple drinks, "going up or down" drinking and vomiting, "side to side" - effects of alcohol, "short or tall" - types of alcoholic drinks, "handy to have around" - no explanation needed for anyone into their booze.
I think this says more about me than you!
To be honest I was just joking, didn't seriously think that was the answer, it was a gut reaction without much thought as many of the terms just seemed to fit so well with past memories of drunken outings, and the culture over here at the time. It probably doesn't come across very well in how it meant to me, but I didn't stop to actually think about it! Engage mouth first, brain second!@Boogs, I saw the “up and down” and “side to side” as the movements of a cocktail shaker producing “short or tall” cocktails, so there was another view by which your guess may have been validated.

I would classify a martini as a “short” cocktail, so perhaps my definition depends more on the glass.To be honest I was just joking, didn't seriously think that was the answer, it was a gut reaction without much thought as many of the terms just seemed to fit so well with past memories of drunken outings, and the culture over here at the time.

BTW, a short over here is a single or double spirit with nothing in, a tall is more like a proper cocktail.
Fences or hurdles for horses.
