Knitch Jun 28, 2007	No fun, and WAY too easy. It's not even comparable with your other teasers in this category. Took me a nano second to get it. Instead of the customary 3 nano seconds. Lolololol! Good try tho.
rbasch Jun 28, 2007	2 out of 3. I felt silly for missing one. Good job.
lmurray Jun 28, 2007	KNITCH IS RIGHT. THIS WAS WAY TOO EASY!! THE QUALITY OF YOUR RECENT TEASERS IS IS OFF SIGNIFICANTLY. I HOPE YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBING TO THE THEORY KEEP TALKING (SUBMITTING TEASERS) YOU MIGHT SAY SOMETHING IMPORTANT (MAKE A GOOD ONE.) KICK IT UP A NOTCH, OR BACK UP A FEW TEASERS AGO. QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY PLEASE.
Trishgal Jun 28, 2007	wow I got it , #2made me think a bit but was pretty easy. Nice to get one though
cloughme Jun 28, 2007	Way too easy... I know it's summer, but let's not take a vacation from the real teasers!!
evilfuzzymonste Jun 28, 2007	I agree that it was easy, but it took just a few seconds, so it was still fun. I like teasers that are simple in nature, have simple answers, but take a bit of thinking.
solotravlr Jun 28, 2007	I liked it.... got 2 out of 3, but i thought: hog tie-dye cloth
Brock Jun 28, 2007	BORING

cassiemark Jun 28, 2007	Good job! I liked it - thanks I'd really like to see some teasers from the people who are so negative sometime and see how they do....... Just a thought.
janetlopez0904 Jun 28, 2007	2 out of 3, not bad !
hoosiergirl Jun 28, 2007	Fun
speedqueenkmw Jun 28, 2007	I enjoy these
aprildawn Jun 28, 2007	i thought it was way to easy, but all these people that are so negative....let them try and do better...i don't see them even attempting to do it....so unless u have the "guts" to do it, don't knock the ones that actually give it a try......be mature about it...would u like someone downing u all the time? get a life u negative people
mondayschild59 Jun 28, 2007	Yeah, I got them all right for a change. That was fun. Thanks for the post. Monday~
scallio Jun 28, 2007	A bit easy but fun. I would like to see more than 3 in each teaser. Perhaps 5 or 6.
2ndhandrose Jun 28, 2007	Too tired to comment on the bad will of some people. I got 2 out of 3. Thanx for the posting Rose
nikcat Jun 28, 2007	i'm stupid
smartymommy Jun 28, 2007	Hey I got all of them. Well, I thought of wash for the first one but I had never heard of hogwash. The other two were a breeze! Good one!
Fredonia2k Jun 28, 2007	I can't imagine which one of the three a lot of the people missed. A bit too easy.
fishmed Jun 28, 2007	For those that liked it, I am glad you did, and thank you. For those that think it's too easy, I am sorry if this wasted your time. On occasion, I like to put in some easier ones as not all are of the caliber of people that only like the extremely hard ones. So, sorry if you did not like it, but keep looking as you may find one you do like. If not, submit some of your own so you are sure to have some on the site you like.
mosca Jun 28, 2007	I thought it was a good quiz! Not everyone is adept at this type of quiz, so it's challenging for us who need to think a bit about the words.
GrandmaB Jun 28, 2007	Some days my brain "rocks"....this was finally one of those days...thanks for the uplift.
jabdr Jun 28, 2007	I was brilliant Hitting on all cylenders (sp?) Until I see others claim it was too easy I choose to believe I am brilliant - as are you
iteachkids Jun 28, 2007	Fish is right. There need to be teasers for brains of ALL levels on Braingle. Those of you who expect challenging ones every single day need to submit some! In the meantime, thanks for a fun one, Fish!
kauphi1976 Jun 28, 2007	Jeanie-Ass at work here.. had to crank up a few cylinders to knock em
auntiesis Jun 29, 2007	I liked it, and Fishmed, I really liked your comment. Keep up the good work.

Brian2772 Jun 30, 2007	Great teaser Fish! Poor old doehead. What a sad life she must have. It must torment her so to be such a negative person.
