or he could quickly twisted it off or he could just punch and brake it

That was good! It tricked me for a minute but I figured it out before I read the answer. But it was still good!

An inadaquate answer. You imply that it would prevent it from shining indefinitely. To do this, you would have to break it.

He need to use his legs to walk to the switch right?

Before you so rudely tear down an eleven year old's teaser, perhaps you should write a few of your own?

This was a cute teaser i thought that the answer as well was completely inadaquate beacause there was a mention in it that the bulb would stop shining.

I'm only twelve too, and I can't write any teasers. Yours is good!

He could either flip the switch or turn the light bulb just enough to turn it off. Easy but fun and enjoyable. Good job.

libra, I wouldnt tell that to trot.

You see, he has been here longer than you, he has more experience.

You on the otherhand have no teasers submitted/accepted.

now ask yourself this: whose teasers are better?

well, using the principles of common sense, TROT's are better because he has 12, you have 0 and

12 > 0

Correct me if I'm wrong but, is this not a site for reading, rating and submitting teasers? The last time I checked it was not a place for an immature 14 year old to vent out her frustrations! Please try to stick to the teaser contents in your comments. The entire site does not want (nor does it need) to be harassed by the constant put downs and whinings of a certain very rude child. If this site does not live up to your expectations, maybe you should visit another.
Remember - we are here to enjoy the teasers!!!

Not really, it would still shine, hed just block the light

Jul 29, 2005

Not to downplay the fact that the teaser actually made it through, which isn't as easy as flipping a light switch. I've seen this somwhere before.

You got me! I thought he covered it up. I can't believe I didn't get that.

He turned on the light, and then, after 3 weeks of anticipation, the light bulb burned out, and he said....
TA DA!!!
