Sorry, but ----- "All that glitters is not gold" -----
does NOT mean that gold does not glitter, but that other things besides gold do glitter too.

Thanx Twixy.
To Canu:
In rebus teasers not rvrything must be true.You see in rebuses we try to have a couple of info and change the meant one so we could form a rebus.The best example to ask is MrIxolite-The Rebus Warrior

Not only do I agree with canu on this one, but also the quote is wrong.
From The Merchant of Venice (II, vii)
All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told. Many a man his life hath sold. But my outside to behold. Gilded tombs do worms enfold.

You must know dumbell that I didn't get this teaser from any place it just came to my mind!!!
I agree with canu too. This doesn't make sense. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD means that other things besides gold can glitter. It doesn't mean that gold doesn't glitter while the other things mentioned do. Saying gold doesn't glitter doesn't work because it has to be assumed to glitter or why would it be mentioned at all.
I'm with Canu, Dumbell and Joanie!
nice teaser Rashad! i like it. u should do more teasrs....
Thanx AmDm.

I'm with Canu, Dumbell, Joanie and Jimbo too! This teaser is off the track. Sorry Rashad.
It is OK. Just tied to make it good and possible. NO sorries just express yourself so i could do better in the next teasers. (check "THE GAME" ) it is a rebus too. I hope you like it more than this one!
nice!!!
Thanx...
canu's a perfectionist
Ok,Let's say that i said
"Gold glitters..."
What would the rebus be?
It could be many things and very vague.So the teaser would be unacceptable.

I think it would have have made more sense if you said:
Gold glitters
Stars are not gold
Xmas trees are not gold
Diamonds are not gold
Eyes are not gold
Careers are not gold
Then "All that glitters is not gold" would work for an answer. Do you see what I mean?

Stars are not gold
Xmas trees are not gold
Diamonds are not gold
Eyes are not gold
Careers are not gold

Joanie:
Yes that is good too.But as you know that one riddle or teaser may have many kinds of answers and questions.Thanx anyway.

well i think my knew teaser is good too::
I was going to say what Joanie did about how to make your teaser correct. It's best to use the way that makes the most sense even if you think another way is ok. Your idea for the teaser was good though.
CoolDude Submitt at least one teaser of your own then tell me that this is crap
At least when the editors approuved it, means that this is no crap. Sorry
When editors approve teasers it does not mean they are good, just that they do not fall foul of any rules etc. that prohibit them, are not dupes, and are not inappropriate. It is also important that someone has checked them out for accuracy first. With a teaser of this kind it is subjective. As you can see from my previous comment, even though I am an editor and publisher I feel that this teaser is wrong. Not all editors will agree on every teaser and often they go on a majority. As publishers we often have to go against what we feel and with a (sometimes very slim) majority. We accept a lot of teasers that we personally feel are total crap. In some cases every editor feels a teaser is crap yet it still gets accepted as there is no strong reason for a reject.
Thanx dumbell for the clarification, but i think i never said this was a great teaser, that's why it was a ccepted, i said that this wasn't crap, well it can be, everyone has his own taste, so i will leave it up to the ratings.
Rashad, I liked it... but since everyone is saying it was easy or the quote was wrong, look back at some of YOUR comments...
It's still "all that glisters", whether it "just popped into your head" or not
