oneburtney Apr 20, 2006	nice teaser. i think you should change #5 answer to battle; cattle...very creative, though.

coachpisco Apr 20, 2006	Your teaser was very good, but my brain, this morning, was very bad.
shawneeo Apr 20, 2006	lol @ pisco I got em! Oh, shoot, all cept the last one, cattle, castle. I didn't rack my brain very hard tho, because what's not flooded with um, ya know, stuff when you have a cold, is warped by cold medicine, took a double dose, ewwwww, too much! Anyway, your teasers are always fun, and very neat and tidy without a lot of errors or vaguenesses, I appreciate that, thanks!
bradon182001 Apr 20, 2006	Great teaser. Had fun with this one.

keosborne Apr 20, 2006	Very good teaser! Nice job!!!
iteachkids Apr 20, 2006	Another good one, Peppamint! Although I, too, was thinking "Battle/Cattle" for #5, Peppamint's answers do fit the definitions better. So there you go, Oneburtney.
vlerma Apr 20, 2006	Again, Peppa I think your teasers are the neatest ones out here. I love them. This was a very nice job. Thaks a lot!
alis99 Apr 20, 2006	It was confusing to understand ur question thats y i didnt go for it but when i looked at the answer i got it nice one but next time pls make ur question bit more clear

azbee123 Apr 20, 2006	nice!
Rainfire Apr 20, 2006	I didn't understand the directions until after I saw the answer...I really liked the idea, but maybe next time a little clearer directions would be helpful. Thanks for submitting!!!
feste Apr 20, 2006	I had to cheat on the first one as the six letter word category threw me. Once I saw how it went it was a piece of cake. I also thought a green club was some sort of fraternal org, and Tiger the spaz prez.lol.
nightowl19 Apr 20, 2006	Another nice one! Keep them coming 1
hockeygirl Apr 20, 2006	wow i didnt get that but o well
POPS Apr 20, 2006	Did not get all of it But it was fun trying. Great Job
c_rae Apr 20, 2006	Clever! Just difficult enough to make me stop and think. Keep 'em comin'!
jabdr Apr 20, 2006	Way to go Peppa..another good one.
TheEarthling Apr 20, 2006	Great one.
Provlear Apr 21, 2009	Difficult to swallow those directions, had to read it a couple of times.
builder Apr 21, 2009	Peppa, this is your best yet. Directions were OK to me.
doehead Apr 21, 2009	Directions were very understandable.Answers were very easy.
UptheHill Apr 21, 2009	I liked this one!!!
Babe Apr 21, 2012	It was a good teaser, but I did not get the last one as I do not think of a castle as a stronghold. Queen Elizabeth lives in a castle. Hardly a strong hold. The Alamo was a stronghold.
