Another great one! This time it was the author that kept me from getting a perfect "score"!
Awsome teaser and, an awsome job you've done with it. Now, should we expect more...?
Keep 'em coming! Another good one. I had fun working this one out as well. Nice Job
Allright good job.Got most of them,whole lotta fun to work on.
i like these teasers ..I get half of the answers right, plus i finally learned some geography..... Nice .... I learned something today...Whoa, it's almost midnight...great teaser...Bye, guys.
Great one... except I didn't get Lord Mayor or Morning Glory.
Proud to call the Beaver State my home!

"ORDINARY"
VERY COMMON INFORMATION. STEP IT UP A NOTCH NEXT TIME

I think IMURRAY is trying to upgrade the quality of these teasers. Most people accuse him of being negative ...and they're wrong. I got half of these two-word answers without much thought and would have gotten three more with only a teeny bit of searching. The only one I might never get was Morning Glory. Give IMURRAY some slack.
Nicely difficult, didn't get the state (I'm english, so that doesn't count anyway) & morning glory.
Thank you xx
Thank you xx
I could get 'Morning Glory' but the rest were fun. Good way to start a day.
And imu, as for "ORDINARY", where, as everyone keeps wondering, at 295 are "YOUR" genius challengers.

well, i personaly liked this teaser. it was interesting and i learned a few things. thnks!
Very well done. A bit easy, but lots of fun. Nice job. Thanks.
IMURRAY, just enjoy the day and that you are able to THINK at all. You're too hard on these people. Sometimes, one hides ones deficiencies under the cloak of criticism. Is this you?
Darn! Missed Morning Glory. I don't suppose Orange Orchid works, does it? Fun teaser. THANKS FOR SUBMITTING!
"Lord Mayor" took a couple of minutes. I'm a Yank who had to think a bit as to which one is the "Beaver State".
Enjoyed it!
Enjoyed it!
I must admit I thought this was easy, but also have to admit I didn't get them all. That's what this site is all about -- learning. Mission accomplished.
Don't care what "Immuray" says -- I liked it.
That should be "Imurray" -- sorry.
What's wrong with wanting a teaser to be more of a challenge. Imurray was right--this was ordinary. No thinking involved, you just knew them or not. Is this negative??? Why???
Good oone Fishmed, didn't get Lord Mayor. Ilove the idea that you tried to include words that would be to familiar to people all over, such as England and North Korea as etc. Nice job Fish, More please?
well I didn't like that one very much because I didn't get the lion one. Oh well I better go watch Barney while my mom changes my diaper. Oh yeah I love the brain teaser but next time do something with Barney in it.l. I love that purple and green fela. He is so adorable. Well I am missing Barney gtg.
Remember, everyone! These are just comments! lmurray is allowed to make his comment, negative or not, as much as most everyone else making their comments, postive or neutral. The teaser was relaxing and I thought it was quick fun! WTG, fish.
I LOVE YOU YOU LOVE ME, WHERE A HAPPY FAMILY, WITH A GREAT BIG HUG AND A KISS FROM ME TO YOU, WON'T YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME TOOOOOOOOO. Iam in love with Barney, especially when he goes in that manly tree house of his. I thiink BJ is hot too. Well my mom needs to change my diaper. Bye. And rember I LOVE YOU!!!
Didnt know about Beaver State (not being an American) and couldnt get Morning Glory, but got all the rest quite easily! An interesting compilation.

Oct 03, 2006
like omg this was so hard i couldnt figure nothing out but im only 13 years old
This teaser was just perfect I needed some simpler teasers this morning And Some fit that discription Yet I always like to learn,and some things about other countries, our authors, well I learned new things So I say , keep these teasers coming I liked it. Thx.
Brilliantly said, RRAMMOHAN, and DITTO.
I was struck by Fish's ability to find all the 2-word answers, with "o-r" in both of them. That had to take some research!
Thanks, Fish!!!

I got all of them except the simplest one: Corner Store!
nice!!
I only got the Northern Lights. That was the only one. I feel so ashamed... Anyway, awesome puzzle!
They don't all have to be ridiculously difficult, ya know. I really enjoyed this one-didn't get Lord Mayor. fun
After looking at the hint got 6 out of 8 , Not bad for a canuck? Beaver state????? Authors???? not my forte It was fun Nice one
got all but #6, I had orchid choriopsis (cant spell ir but or is in there lol
O R I should say
i liked this one ok but ive seen better i think the directions should be more claer because i didnt get how to do it for a while but i still liked it
I didn't get Lord Mayor and morning glory. Toughies. Good job, though, it was very entertaining.
I am glad that those who like it, did so. There is another one like this, as you note this is #2. Also, sometimes, you have to put in some easier ones as there will be people who will get upset when there are only difficult ones. I have some that are at both ends. Keep looking and have fun.
This was not the hardest one. I only got a few though. It was still a very good teaser. Nothing ordinary about it . have a great day!
Drat. I never looked at the hint and it may have helped me get #1.Enjoyed this one.
This was an easy teaser. I liked it anyway. especially when it's early in the morn and I'm half asleep! P.S. Who the heck is Barney???
Loved this one!
keep up the good word and crank out more little darlins like this
loved this one only got half
loved this one only got half
nice one....
THOUGHT PROVOKING, FOR SURE!
NICELY DONE...THANK YOU.
NICELY DONE...THANK YOU.

Nice one! I had fun with this.
Got #3, #5, and #8 right away.
The hint helped me get #4, #6, and #7. Awesome hint!
Didn't get #1 or #2, though I was close on #2 .. first thought was Oregon, but then I thought it was probably a two-word city... so I was stuck thinking "Port Something". Too bad I forgot my thought of Oregon when I looked at the hint.... darn!
*cheers*

Fun, thanks. Sometimes I only have time for a few quick thoughts in the morning!! and a short snappy Teaser is ideal. Other times I like to spend longer. But that's me - not the author! You can always search for more of a challenge if you like. Great variety, everyone - keep it up!

good braingle
Really good one, kind of easy, but some made me think. I would like to see some more like this one.
For #8 I put corner grocery. An old fadshioned term, and I am sure it counts as right. It was an easy one, ,but fun to do and like I said before,..."I like easy!"
Corner Grocery would not work as each word was to have 'or' and grocery has 'ro', so does not work, but I am glad you liked it. Thanks.
This easy teaser is 7 years old and FISHMED is still checking comments. He must live on the computer. I'm sure he needs to get a better life!!!
fun i liked it did well.
Kinda harsh cutebug.
I have a fun life, a job, 5 kids, a lovely wife and 7 pets. I am also an editor & moderator here so I have to get on at least once every day or so to check on things. Believe me, my life is full. Glad you guys liked it.
well done
well done
I went on a wild goose chase by deciding to look for _ORchid before giving up that trail and starting over on a clean slate. Getting mORning glORy wasn't too bad after that.
Good quiz.
Good quiz.
Thanks for your fun teaser Fishmed, I managed to solve all but one!
this was super fun- can't imagine how you can think this up while a houseful of people are around!
I do wish the hint showed up Before the answer on my phone-

Very nice. I got all but Morning Glory very quickly, but I can't say it was easy teasy 'cause I never got Morning Glory. I shoul dhave checked the hint... might have helped.
Kudos on creating this. It seems so simple and straightforward, but I know I would be hard pressed to come up with other OR-OR phrases. Well done!

Fun and entertaining teaser. I got them all but needed the hint for 2 & 6.
Glad you liked it. Check out my other teasers when you have time.
