| My esteemed nephew, tempted with a carrot traveled like a rabbit to spring break. That optional fiasco of shrieking animals all imbibing coronas and picnicking oysters. The object as it often happens, is to soften the accusing bureaucracy with reports of bikinis burnt in effigy. His legacy tailored and edited on DVD had voiceovers ad-libbing with adverbs and a sonata musical score! |

| had no idea until i read the hint...i like these...lots of fun and brain strain |

| I had absolutely no idea what the answer was. I looked at the first word and the last word and came up with "A Diamond in the Rough". Oh well, maybe next time! |

| Maybe I am just that confused because if you take the first and last letter of each word that does not spell out what the anwser is supposed to be. Maybe I need to look at it with my eyes crossed or something because I could not see it any other way. |

| Question to Administrators of Site: Why does every posting have a note saying "this is offensive"?????
I see nothing offensive in anyone's comments, certainly not mine - I am being very complimentary!!! |

| i dont see where it says "this is offensive". am i blind or what??? |
smarty_blondy

| There is a "This is offensive" link, right beneath the name of the poster of each comment. This is a great link to use, if you see a rude, or uncalled for comment.
Braingle is a family oriented site, which does not accept cursing, name calling, or any other method of deliberately hurting someone.
Therefore, each time you see a comment that does not fit Braingle's moral standards, click the link. The comment is promptly reviewed and deleted, to no longer harm the teaser, submitter, and all in all, Braingle.
Hope this helped. Once again, a great teaser. |
