Pizzazz2u Sep 02, 2006	Amazingly wild teaser! When repeating these, the answers will pop into your head Addictive commercials make these easy for individuals who watch too many ads or listen to radio constantly. Isn't it wild, the way ads have converted our senses?
GebbieRose Sep 02, 2006	Ditto! I was thinking how interesting that there are so many phrases that come in threes - probably 'cuz they catch our attention & are easy to remember, like "stop, drop, & roll."
scallio Sep 03, 2006	Had never heard of Win, place and show, but I sure had fun solving the others. Fun teaser!
vlerma Sep 11, 2006	This was fun! Wild threesomes - had trouble with the horserace one also. Guess I haven't been to the track enough! Great Job!
MMSMustang Sep 17, 2006	I saw this exact same thing in Readers Digest. did you get it from there cause i was a good one?
twinklyspangle Oct 04, 2006	I loved this! I just repeated the words over and over until I got it, really fun! I didn't get the second one though!!
Lizzie713 Oct 29, 2006	I loved it!!! Thanks keep them coming

tpkarth Oct 29, 2006	Good ones.. I have seen similar ones elsewhere before.. good job if u really made up some of them.. I didn't get 2 & 7; the rest were easy.

coachpisco Oct 29, 2006	IMURRAY, You're summarily a crab. Good teaser. Thoughtful and well done.
shawneeo Oct 29, 2006	I had fun, and, I GOT EM ALL!!! yayness!!! It was much harder than I thought it would be, and, I too got a little hung up on the second, but got it after awhile. I was wondering about others. Someone above said "stop, drop, and roll", how about: oh, I should encode these: Stinkin', Thinkin', Plod Stood, Sad, Snugly Goats, Cheese, Scenes Well, Im sure those won't be so hard, but I couldn't resist trying to come up with some of my own. Gosh, there really ARE so many "groups of three"! Thanks for the fun teaser! Oh, did I tell ya I GOT EM ALL?! (yeah, I know)
schmedley9 Oct 29, 2006	that was lame
Shortiekatts Oct 29, 2006	i have one complaint on this teaser and its that the words though and show dont rhyme like all the others do
shannmo Oct 29, 2006	though and show do rhyme maybe youare thinking of tough or thou? good teaser
bradon182001 Oct 29, 2006	Can't imagine why anyone would have a negative comment about this teaser. It Was fun, not too hard, not too easy, made you think. That's the reason I come to this site, to work my brain. This teaser did just that. Thanks for sharing this great teaser.
jcann Oct 29, 2006	What fun! I got them by just saying the words without the initial sound and then it immediately reminded me of the correct phrase. I enjoyed yours, too, shawneo.
MalcolmReynolds Oct 29, 2006	Nice. Never heard of the second one, though..
vlerma Oct 29, 2006	Congrats on ToD I still like this one. It is so fun and this time I did get the horse race. Nice job

unklemyke Oct 29, 2006	What are the rules on Braingle concerning plagiarism? These are taken (stolen) directly from a puzzle by Will Shortz that appeared in a recent Reader's Digest. - Shame on you Hana.

auntiesis Oct 29, 2009	Very fun teaser. Loved it.
Jimmymo Oct 29, 2009	Fun teaser!! Just missed #2.
hubbamutt777 Oct 29, 2009	great one. i only looked at the first and the rice krispies one. got the latter. and only the latter. great one though!! you know, if this is REALLY plagiarism, the dumb guy should be happy that his thing is on the internet. more publicity. THINK, PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT OTHERWISE! ! ! !
hubbamutt777 Oct 29, 2009	no offense, or anything. i got all riled up, sorry.
Babe Oct 29, 2012	Easy, fun, and thanks!
cutebug Oct 29, 2012	Very easy. Do u agree GW?
Maggiethe8th Oct 29, 2012	Fun!
iggy39 Oct 29, 2012	It was fun but some of the things did not rhyme so had a hard time with some of them. Crawl and small? I got it anyway but come on. Had fun and that was the main thing. I liked some that were posted as comments.
iggy39 Oct 29, 2012	sorry it was sprawl and small that didn't rhyme and some others. Sorry I'm so picky thought it was fun.
lukasiwicz Oct 30, 2012	To Iggy 39: If you're going to be picky, at least be right. Sprawl is a perfect rhyme for small, as you will discover if you consult any decent rhyming dictionary.
