Nice job Paul. I liked it!
i have never heard of "dyed in the wool" before so i didnt get it!! i liked this teaser though!
Thanks KK. An example of someone who's "dyed in the wool", Li'l A, would be a Boston red sox fan. They're insane enough to wait 86 years for a championship.
nice one
Another good teaser. I think you're on a roll now Paul. Before long, you'll be at #50.
how about passed away in his sheep?
That would be a play on words, of a sort, but a rebus' solution ought to be a recognizable term or phrase. (at least in my opinion)
i liked it, but it was too hard!
that was good! i learned something new 2day
Paul, these are my favorites - this one was super!
I don't think I would have gotten it without the hint ... at least not for awhile. Clever!
Thanks to all for the compliments.
very clever! gotta respect those red sox fans - not fair-weather like some
Never heard of the phrase, but still got it. Great teaser!
Never, ever heard of the phrase.
Searched "dyed in the wool" on google - About 470,000 results. Wow, something you don't know?
I don't know if you've heard the bacon or eggs commitment question. A chicken may be involved in producing eggs, but a pig is committed to producing bacon. After reading the title and the hint, I was mired down with thoughts of mutton.
Sheep is not wool, but cashmere is both wool and rabbit; angora is both wool and goat. And if it takes you more than a second to realize I've switched up the animals, I have proven the fiber aspect is stronger. Either of those words would farm a better rebus/picture.
