shortstopsmile Oct 01, 2004	jeez, that one was hard!
BadBunnee02 Jun 01, 2006	"good news" - well done. Should be rated higher.
stormtrooper Jul 23, 2006	First good news of the day.
bluehawk Aug 09, 2006	I enjoyed this one. Thought it was cute. Bet you'll have all lot of people "jumping" all over this one.
Trishgal Aug 09, 2006	Should have got that it was so easy after i knew it i saw the jumpinggoing down , the good and the news I just could not see that other jumping and i didnt get it .but it was fun trying. it really gave my mind a workout thx
OldChinaHand Aug 09, 2006	Good One, but doesn't it read from left to right, 'jumping down and up', but still clever and fun to work out.
rajeshvt Aug 09, 2006	Excellent, shows I need lot of practice. Keep them coming, buddies
(user deleted) Aug 09, 2006	Contrary to my peers great reviews, I would say that is one of the worst 'riddles' I have ever read. If you are a fan of anograms, therein lies many possibilities concerning an answer, especially to that mess. What phrase is represented? It could be any number of them. If you insist on writing riddles, confine the answers; this is not a philosophy class.
Rach_ Aug 09, 2006	I love rebus teasers, thank you Yup, it was slightly incorrect in that jumping 'up' would have been better in the first row, but not a huge mistake.
starnz Aug 09, 2006	Gosh! I'm usually good at these!! This one got me -- BIG TIME!! Loved it!
nu_rob_roy Aug 09, 2006	First off this was a good teaser and I enjoyed it. Now depending on where I am at the time, sometime I would have to jump down before I can jump up. But then I would have had to have jumped, hopped or climbed up there in the first place, like from a pub or barstool. It's like my teacher says, you can't 'go back and forth', you have to go forth first, and so we really go forth and back.
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 09, 2006	Very nice!!
rhmaustin Aug 09, 2006	Ah, yes, that well known English phrase "Jumping up and down over good news."
Badger Aug 09, 2006	Easy, but fun and clever Fish. Thanks for submitting!
coachpisco Aug 09, 2006	XLNT! i luv bus bus
iteachkids Aug 09, 2006	Styme's comment is somewhat of a "riddle," but I truly enjoyed this REBUS. I got the "GD NEWS," but didn't spend enough time to get the jumping done. Now I'll jump on into the day. Thanks, Fish!
bradon182001 Aug 09, 2006	I think this was a super teaser.
incyque Aug 09, 2006	I noticed some negative comments, probably from those who did not solve the puzzle.
Pizzazz2u Aug 09, 2006	Apparently, my mind must have been looking for a trick I noticed the answer right away. But, a very excellant teaser, for a commonly used phrase. GJ, Fish!
locutus13ds Aug 09, 2006	Only got the jumping up and down part. Still a good one!
kcheer2493 Aug 09, 2006	I had to look at the answer and than it still took me like five minutes to get it.
tonjawithaj Aug 09, 2006	Very good! I love it!
choptlivva Aug 09, 2006	Fun Fishmed! Fairly easy, but clever!
LizR Aug 09, 2006	Very Cute
heyman Aug 09, 2006	I like this a lot. Once I saw the palidrome and discovered that I should be reading down instead of right, I got it. The over good news was the easy part.
Qrystal Aug 09, 2006	I'm jumping up and down over the good news that I got it right. Yay. Tsk tsk to all those people who got all negative about this one. Who's to say that the jumps have to be read left to right anyways? And this has nothing to do with anagrams. Sheesh.
doka13 Aug 09, 2006	very very niceeee (indian accent)
Shadowmist Aug 09, 2006	Easy but fun
unConfuseMe Aug 09, 2006	I am not familiar w/ this style, so OBViOUSLY i didn't get it

tigerlilly815 Aug 09, 2006	I finally got 1 i loved it
kman613 Aug 09, 2006	Hadn't seen this one before. Easy, but very fun and clever in the way it was set up.
brainy40 Aug 09, 2006	Good one. It was very clever. I do actually agree that the way it is set up it reads "jumping down and up" but a smart person could figure out that the answer was "jumping up and down". I enjoyed it! Very clever... on to one of my favorites!
marschie Aug 10, 2006	I got it completely -- first one!
RRAMMOHAN Aug 13, 2006	Got this after some thinking. Am not good at rebus teasers, but am now getting used to them and now have started liking them too. This one encouraged me to long for more. Thanks.
vlerma Aug 15, 2006	Great rebus fishman. Loved it and I don't think I have every seen this one yet. More please?

doehead Aug 09, 2009	Nice and easy one.
patiencewithaP Aug 09, 2009	Easy but fun! Thanks!
tahomac Aug 09, 2009	Quite possibly the best teaser I have ever done,thank you
wordmama Aug 09, 2009	heyman, what does this rebus have to do with palindromes?? rebuses are not usually my thing, but this one I at least attempted; I got as far as 'jumping' and 'good news' but didn't see jumping go up as well. oh, well, maybe next time.
avonma Aug 09, 2009	I got it! I got it! Yay, me! That was a good one!
