Rowsdower Nov 30, 2003	It's interesting that the complainers usually are those who have submitted teasers, but alas they do not have the smiley symbol, so how fun are THEIR teasers? I liked this one.
babygirl35 Dec 28, 2004	i don't mean to be rude but ya'll need to stop critizising peoples teasers yes it was easy but if you wanted to do a hard on you would have gone to a higher rated difficulty teaser. plus this site is a moderated family oriented forum.

blackmarket69 Feb 22, 2006	I thought the easter bunny was helping sant give coal to a serial killer who had just killed some1 wearin the scarf and then killed santa who dropped the coal and then the easter bunny who dropped the carrot and then he left them all there on the ground because he only killed because he was addicted to killing but didnt want to be a killer anymore and secretly hoped that the police would find them there and get the CSI involved so that they will find the fingerprints he purposely left on each clue so he could go to jail and stop killing. THE END!

Dishhead5 Aug 13, 2006	its one i got pretty quick... its fun
qwart Oct 17, 2006	Awww that's cute...
Zelvinrocks Dec 04, 2006	I thought it there because a bunny nestled in a scarf from a homeless person and the coal was used for fire (the hint said Winter). The homeless person went off somewhere else and the rabbit made a home. Then the rabbit ran off ot anther place to nestle or ran off and died.
(user deleted) Dec 05, 2006	THAT WAS SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!
piebob222 Feb 12, 2007	Someone commented: i thout it was a carrot for da reindere, scarf for da little girl and coal for da boy, after all, girls are cool! ------------------- WHAT A LOADA BULL! Boys r waaaaaaay better.
bgil7604 Feb 28, 2007	The answer was very obvious after the hint, but it was still really cool.
