Ark Mark
Each clue below is for two words that differ by only one letter: The letter has been either added to the beginning or the end of the word - all the rest are in the same order. In the "hint" you will see the lengths of the words, in the proper order.
For example "Writing on the wall of Noah's boat (3,4)" would result in "Ark Mark". Can you get the rest?
1. Complaint about a golf club part.
2. Insect being angry and vocal.
3. Angry buccaneer.
4. The second of the two dishes you mentioned.
5. Scrawny unidentified object.

Good teaser. Well done.
very nice!
Wow that was very good and fresh! Keep 'em coming!
I think that was a really hard teaser!! I'm not very good at them, but I still like to try! This was a fun one!
Very Tidy...NT!
rate grate(forget the spelling)
I had said "Bee Beef" instead of "Ant Rant". Great teaser -- very original.
I liked it, but it was a little too hard for me.
I had "Bee Beef" for number 2 also! Cute teaser!
Good early morning teaser, but fairly easy for me.
Glad someone thought it was easy. I for one didn't get it at all. Good teaser. Thanks for posting.
Couldn't make sense of the clue in the "hiht".
This was not my fave. Sorry.
I just have one suggestion. Instead of clue 2, "Insect being angry and vocal," you should have put "Vocal anger of an insect" (or something to that effect). Grammatically it doesn't work the other way because the subject in the answer isn't the ant, but the rant. Sorry, I'm a former writing teacher. I can't help it! =) Good job on all other counts!
Thank you jennsingergirl for the grammatically correct version of ANT RANT!
But, nevertheless; SourDough likes this one, $ourDough likes!

I didn't get them all but had fun trying!
Fun!
I didn't get some of them because I didn't read the directions well and thought they would all rhyme. I thought it was a stretch that you had used IRATE and PIRATE together, but after reading the answer, I see it was me that was mistaken!

putter sputter works for #1. Fun.
cute
Got all but latter platter Putter Sputter would not work as the clue says "Golf Club Part" and a Putter is a TYPE of club, not part of the club.
My husband's at the golf course right now and I couldn't get the first one!! The rest I got pretty readily! Thanks for the teaser!
I like these and didn't spend enough time in answering - got 3/5.
More of these, please!
More of these, please!
I would've liked to see a more straightforward seperation between the two worded clues. I thought it was an angry insect;;vocal, not vocally angry;;insect. See? Am I being clueless or does anyone else have the same problem?
I got 3/5 also and for #4 I got "late plate" Fun teaser
I am so embarrassed !!
I didn't get any of them.
I guess I tend to go with really, really weird ones - to begin with - and then get "stuck" on those and can go no further.
Does that make any sense?
Like .... I got "fly cry" ... stuff like that.
Oh, well.
It's a great puzzle and Bobbrt was (is?) one of the greatest puzzle-makers on Braingle. I wish I could make them an "honorary" LEB (LIU) member ... hmmmm ....
that's an idea. I'll work on it.
Anyways ...
Good Morning !!!! Thanks for inviting me back. It's about 90p here so ....
that should make it around the "wee" hours Stateside (EST,EDT,CST,CDT,MST,MDT,MSG, PST,PDT,PDQ,PTA) .......
Did I get it all right, HABsie????
Braingle participation took another "hit" over the week.
I might get around to doing another "comment log" for recent Teasers.
Or, maybe not. I guess it depends on how many "flames" I get from this entry.
OK, students ... SHARPEN YOUR PENCILS !!!

4/5 #4 is way too complicated for me. I couldn't decide if it meant the container or what the container holds. Gimme more coffee, please.
Love this one again - three years later! Thanks for posting! Happy summer!
I still didn't get this one.
I didn't get any of them on my own, but I enjoyed reading the answers. Nice job!
I liked this one. I got "bee beef", but I suppose that focuses more on the complaint than the insect. I also went with "late plate".
Enjoyed this fun and entertaining teaser; I got 4/5 and also could not get #4.
Nice, fairly easy teaser, thanks!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I could not get #4 this time or the previous time I tried this quiz.
