FulanitoGM Sep 12, 2005	Great teaser! Me likey... How's about we include "slick flick" as an alternate answer to #3, seeing as how a lot of people (including me) guessed that, and it IS a valid answer? Yes? Anyone else with me?
Vercetti Sep 13, 2005	Not too shabby. Um, here's another solution to the movie one: chic flick
Haylie1506 Sep 16, 2005	Yay!! I got them all!! It took me forever to think of clown, though...

Synlapse Sep 10, 2006	OK, for the pencil"lead" one, you could clue: Not half wrong & center of pencil. Half-rirht graphite.
bradon182001 Sep 10, 2006	Had trouble with cool film, but got all the rest.Another good, "makes you think" teaser.
FeaerFactorY666 Sep 10, 2006	very nice!!

suganue Sep 10, 2006	Great one!!! I feel so very silly b/c I miss...Down Clown. Can you believe that? When I saw the answer, I couldn't believe I didn't think of that. I guess we all have our slow days.
brainy40 Sep 10, 2006	Good teaser! I had trouble getting "groovy" but I got it eventually. I really enjoyed this one!
speedqueenkmw Sep 10, 2006	didn't get groovy movie, duh! fun
Trishgal Sep 10, 2006	nice work.... Thx
loopydoopy_52 Sep 10, 2006	That was Great ! Next time make it a bit harder .
chocolatechippy Sep 10, 2006	i loved it!!! and don't make slick flick or chic flick or keen sheen one of the answers because that would make it way to easy and all of the people that r mad that those don't count are sore losers, but great job
buenos Sep 10, 2006	for "cool film" I got "sick flick"...
MurfQ Sep 11, 2006	Good one. I always enjoy this type. Oddly enough though, I didn't get the cool film one. My brain was stuck thinking of cool in terms of temperature so even though groovy movie did pop into my head, I didn't make the connection. Pretty sad really, I must be getting old...
lmurray Sep 11, 2006	BECAUSE OF THE RHYMING, THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY IS MINIMALIZED. CAN YOU OFFER ONE UISNG ANTONYMS OR .....?
cassiemark Sep 11, 2006	I really liked that - got them all Yay!
utnative Sep 11, 2006	that was fun even if i didn;t get all of them great teaser
tdbrsun Sep 11, 2006	I liked this one.
Qrystal Sep 12, 2006	I liked this, and had fun, though it was partly because I found it easy. Some easy ones aren't fun though, so this one is still special. Way to go! I also vote for having "slick flick" as an alternate answer for "groovy movie" .. though not "chic flick", because chic is pronounced "sheek" and doesn't rhyme, and not "sick flick" because "sick" is slang (and thus not officially recognized as a synonym for "cool"). (For the record, I did get "groovy movie" rather quickly.) And iteachkids - I forgot about the term "hinky pinky"!! Suddenly, I'm whisked away to my elementary school days... tee hee. Anyways, um, can someone explain what's going on with the cold soapy water and the ducky?
Qrystal Sep 12, 2006	oh yeah, and the center of a pencil is still called a lead, despite it not being made of lead.
phyllisa Sep 16, 2006	My husband said "slick flick" instead of groovy movie
mosca Dec 15, 2007	I had slick flick too! But it was a fun teaser!
wittyyankee Sep 10, 2009	I came up with cold celluloid for the second one.

leroyleroy Sep 10, 2009	NOT BAD.. I REALLY LIKE THESE
