purelogic Apr 12, 2005	Cute...this is a good one
daviteo Apr 12, 2005	Even though it doesn't quite follow the puzzle, I thought the energy pill "ginseng" (Djin-Sing) would have been a funny answer.
MrIxolite Apr 13, 2005	Good to see you back timilee Shall I share with everyone your recent submittal as a teaser? Hardly in a position to critisise are we? Keep up the comments , I've missed you
Chelsie Apr 13, 2005	Mr. Ix! I expect better from you! Though I got the answer...I'm still confused You're typically awesome so i'll forgive you...THIS TIME
MrIxolite Apr 13, 2005	(takes a bow)
lonegeekman Apr 13, 2005	Not bad, but I thought it was going to be "wishful thinking" from "wish" and "falls the king" or something
timilee Apr 13, 2005	MrLicks, here are the lyrics to the song you tried to get your phrase from written by Ned Washington Performed by Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) Note the LACK of the word 'falling' When you wish upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dream No request is too extreme When you wish upon a star As dreamers do Fate is kind She brings to those to love The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing Like a bolt out of the blue Fate steps in and sees you through When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true If you are going to use a phrase for a teaser, @ least get the phrase right. U R welcome (again)
MrIxolite Apr 14, 2005	Hi Timilee, Thanks for the Lyrics. I have never heard of that song but it was nice to read it. Perhaps I should have used the Jaws theme tune eh? Do a quick Google search for the phrase and you'll be interested I'm sure to see many references to this common phrase http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=wish+upon+a+falling+star&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Thanks again timilee, you do brighten my day

MrIxolite Apr 14, 2005	Whoops, apologies for the double post.
timilee Apr 14, 2005	u don't get Disney in your part of the globe? You don't know who Jiminy Cricket is? sorry... And that is cute that you are into Snowbabies Miniatures, i'm sure they are way more popular around the world than Disney. Well at least you DO know the JAWS theme, that's gotta' count for somthin'...my bad
MrIxolite Apr 14, 2005	No problem tim, Nobody can know all the phrases of the English speaking world so don't beat yourself up about it. I was only messing with you on the Disney thing. Of course I am aware of it, but they don't hold the monopoly on the phrase I am sorry to say. Snow babies are not my thing really but there are a multitude of other examples of the "falling" element used on Google. Thanks for taking the time again. Good luck with your future teasers
timilee Apr 14, 2005	So do you feel good about yourself that you are an editor that can blackball teasers that are submitted by people you don't like?
MrIxolite Apr 14, 2005	Ah Sorry timilee, but you seem to be attributing me too much power. No single Editor has the ability to blackball a teaser. I am just one of a number of Editors that vote on a teaser, and generally the majority vote carries the decision. Your teaser was unfortunately not able to be accepted. It's a shame that you feel you have to take your rejection out on individuals. Try to learn from the rejection and work on making your teasers better. I have had loads of teasers rejected and still do. Best thing to do would be to learn from it and raise your game. If you check out the message boards you will see a section for "Ask the Editors". If you have any questions as to why your teaser was rejected, and the explanation given at the time wasn't clear, then by all means ask it there. Any member of the Editing team will be pleased to clarify why it was not accepted. Don't let this put you off submitting in the future though. Enjoy Braingle
sageb Apr 14, 2005	I thought it was "wish fall the king" -wishful thinking
MrIxolite Apr 15, 2005	Um? Okay. Not sure what you think us Editors do but you really have got the wrong idea. I don't have the power to do what you are suggestiing. Thanks for all the Smilies though, that was very mature.
Chelsie Apr 15, 2005	...dude.
(user deleted) Jun 08, 2005	I can't understand it!
sweetime Oct 07, 2005	hehe, cute but i didn't get it. i got the "wish" bit, but got thrown by "the king" :/
luckylefty Feb 22, 2008	i actually got that one Good tearer!
bradon182001 May 02, 2009	Good teaser. Thanks for posting.
thebrain789 Jul 09, 2010	Daviteo and Sageb, nice ideas on the solution!
Babe Aug 05, 2011	How can you do a brain teaser if you do not have a brain? Terrible is right!
gaylewolf Aug 05, 2011	Sorry, but that one didn't appeal to me at all!! I love teasers, but not rebuses! Eager to see everyone's comments - Especially yours, Doehead. PS I'll try again, tomorrow!
doehead Aug 05, 2011	This teaser is 6 years old, and it should been buried 6 years ago. Poorly conceived and poorly written. YUK YUK YUK
Chobuck Aug 05, 2011	That was a groaner.
auntiesis Aug 05, 2011	I didn't get it.
