For the glory of this teaser, take some ice cubes from the freezer.
Gimme a soda and a snack, cater to me till you become a wreck.

TsunamiSurfer Aug 22, 2005	Hello: I think you have not chosen a good title for your teaser! Moral Message: one should not stay in a Japanese house as a guest for more than three days. In my home land, Guests are said to be friends of God. quack - quack
Javian Aug 22, 2005	Cute!
kodhrawara Aug 22, 2005	'Twas a Braingle Test Entitled simply "The Pest" Not really one of the Best It turned out to be the Guest

Swordoffury1392 Aug 22, 2005	nice one smarty, you'd make (your favorite poet) proud! (It was pretty funny also. )
smarty_blondy Aug 22, 2005	Thank you Brown and Swordoffury, i'm glad you liked my teaser
hit_the_sand Aug 22, 2005	Good Teaser...But remember what Ben Franklin said, "Fish and Guests stinks after three days." Ok, so fish stink all the time, but you get the picture...didn't know the Japanese one...from blondy to blondy- Good Teaser!!!!
smarty_blondy Aug 22, 2005	lol, that was a great joke
sudokulvr Aug 22, 2005	WOW! what a creative teaser! iit took me a while to figure out, i had to restrain myself from using the 'show the answer' link! btw, cut rhyme!

sweetime Aug 22, 2005	hehe, that was kinda cute smarty, took me a while to get it though, even after i saw the answer
NTaliesen Aug 22, 2005	Not bad but a little vague thanks for the teaser
lycanthrope Aug 22, 2005	I enjoyed the rhyming, good meter and timing; and you'd make a good poet (if you didn't know it). As for the rest, I did guess the guest. Really not a bad teaser. I've seen a few of yours and enjoyed many of them. Keep them coming!
smarty_blondy Aug 23, 2005	Thank you everyone, i'm happy you liked it; about me being a good poet... you just wrote that to get the rhyming, didn't you?
turtlesrock44 Aug 23, 2005	very cute
cazjackrabbit Aug 24, 2005	Ok how many people know Japanese Provebs? Seriously? Lol. Well except for Japanese people and people who know proverbs. But you get my point. I loved the rhyme though. It was cool.
smarty_blondy Aug 24, 2005	thank you turtle cazjackrabbit, you'll be surprised to find out that more than half of the proverbs you know are japanese, and only translated in english i'm glad you liked it though
gilco Aug 24, 2005	Good Teaser!
smarty_blondy Aug 24, 2005	Thank you, i'm happy you like it

smarty_blondy Aug 25, 2005	I'm glad you like my teasers, you are all very nice (although i don't really know what to pick from all those emotions )
Ozymandias Aug 29, 2005	I, too, don't know any Japanese proverbs. I thought it was a couch potatoe. Oh, and by the way, for those of you who remember Dan Quail, I was taught to spell them P-O-T-A-T-O-E and T-O-M-A-T-O-E!!!
smarty_blondy Sep 04, 2005	Uh, ok... a couch potato?
belle_08 Sep 05, 2005	so true very true .
smarty_blondy Sep 06, 2005	Thank you, i'm glad you liked it!
brainster Sep 15, 2005	Well I thought it was the "stomach" !!! Like you feed it junk food and spoil it ! and then the word couch made me think of couch potato too! Good one though!
smarty_blondy Sep 15, 2005	Very glad you like it!
AZTTT Sep 21, 2005	Very good,Smarty. The only answer I could even think of was the right answer, and that was without knowing about the Japanese rain. Nice job
smarty_blondy Sep 21, 2005	Thank you AZITTT, i'm very happy you like it. And thank you all for your kind comments and for checking out my teasers, you guys are too much!!!
shoulder_angel Sep 22, 2005	u stumped me ... I thought it was a dog or cat because of the phrase "raining cats and dogs", but I like it!
smarty_blondy Sep 23, 2005	Thank you very much shoulder_angel, i'm glad you like it after all.
jessjspieks Sep 25, 2005	Wow, what a perfect explanation... I have a house guest right now..............
smarty_blondy Sep 25, 2005	Thank you for your comment! By the angry face, i asume he's been there over three days, hasn't he?
