Today Mooey has a challenging test from his mentor. He must spell all the words correctly. If he does, he will become a mentor, and teach other cows! Mooey studied as hard as he could the night before his challenge. He is on the last word of the list, and is scared! He is sure that the first 19 words are correct, but the last word is always a secret bonus word. Can you help Mooey?

Mentor: The last word is actually two words. It is your name. (Mooey's last name was Mooer)

Mooey was shocked! The bonus word was always extra-hard! He was just about to scrape "Mooey Mooer" in the mud, when he thought of something. It ended up making him a mentor. What did Mooey scrape in the mud?

LeafFan4life Apr 13, 2007	this was too easy and a bit of an imitation of other ones...ok teaser
lukeschett Apr 14, 2007	E-z but good.
vlerma Apr 16, 2007	Too easy, but you put a trick in this one.
sftball_rocks13 Apr 19, 2007	A little too easy I kinda felt it was too much like other teasers on the website
swithie Apr 19, 2007	Cool trick, got it quickly but it was still fun anyway. Loved the little story.
didida Apr 20, 2007	I got it, I loved how you put it in there but it wasn't too unique. Ah well.
Harmony_Girl Apr 21, 2007	I must admit, there are a lot of trick teasers like this, but not bad.
mixed_masteress Apr 24, 2007	I love teh cow thing but it was pretty easy. =). Great Teaster nonetheless.
kalia Apr 29, 2007	ah. but it could be a double bluff. maybe mooey (mooey?) was SUPPOSED to write "mooey mooer".
ChRmD1 Apr 29, 2007	yeah, its a pretty old trick... really easy but somewhat original
nerdyiscool May 11, 2007	I love tricks! YAY COWS!
SandUtil Jun 05, 2007	That one was easy. Kind of when I was a kid and they would say something like well if you're so smart spell it! Some people would spell smart others caught on and would spell "it", then if the kids wanted to be mean they'd say it was still wrong and say that they were supposed to spell the alternate. (Spell smart instead:rollha ha ha ha ha h yeah, they were mean. ha ha ha
trihawk11 Jun 06, 2007	Good one!!!
Hrsemn4 Jun 06, 2007	This is too old a gimmick, it's reminiscent of second grade when some smart alec kid would ask the colors of the american flag. When answered "red white and blue," he would retort, "'and' isn't a color." I usually punched idiots like this in the head.
oddrey Jun 11, 2007	It was well written. Thats all I have to say thats good about it.
Kamazar Jun 13, 2007	Everybody knows this trick. Just adding to the list of school gimmicks, I told kids I could make them say purple. They asked how, and I would ask them to name the colors of the American flag. Then I'd say, "Ha, I told you I could make you say white!" Then they'd respond, "But you said you could make me say purple!". It didn't work all the time, but got plenty of laughs from my school mates. Try it.
coolcow35 Jun 25, 2007	Huh? You lost me at purple?
happyhak Jul 04, 2007	lol! I got it right! That was funy though!
luckylefty Sep 08, 2007	Cows aren't guys, they're girls. Boys are bulls.
(user deleted) Oct 11, 2007	I got this one too!
aball911 Mar 31, 2008	ok teaser, but yeah, it was a bit too much like the others on here. and cows are still terrifying
brain23 Apr 25, 2008	I thought it was "two words" because the mentor said the word is actually 'two words'...could that be an alternate answer?
pn_16 Apr 29, 2008	FUN!!! but a easy..???
7mi27 Jul 01, 2008	haha, good one.
Cindzey Nov 04, 2008	I love how his name is Mooey Mooer
sammyfish Nov 11, 2008	Cool off guys, great teaser - i loved the cows!
emu77alu02 Nov 11, 2008	So cows are smart as well as yummy?
FredS Nov 11, 2008	What a cool setup for an old gag! Well done
doehead Nov 11, 2008	As the comments indicate, this one is older than Moses. But it might be good fot the preschoolers.
LouiseF Nov 11, 2008	that was good
bradon182001 Nov 11, 2008	Well, I'm not exactly a pre-schooler, but I liked this one. I'm sure it is a take on an old trick question, but I for one, never heard it before. Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
cacepc Nov 12, 2008	I love an occassional teaser like this. It's FUN!! Don't get in such a state that you forget to have FUN!!!
Elios Dec 09, 2008	So THAT'S what cows do all day long - they spell! Fun teaser, and cute story!
xdbtcp Nov 17, 2009	This is udderly rediculous.
mathisnice Feb 14, 2010	Easy teaser, but a good story line.
Luke400 May 25, 2010	HA
thebrain789 May 31, 2010	I love the cow thing, but in your last teaser Mooey was female, now he's male. In your next "Mooey" teaser, please keep Mooey's gender a constant.
bubbubfilt Aug 16, 2011	AWESOME teaser!
bubbubfilt Aug 16, 2011	AWESOME teaser!
Babe Nov 11, 2011	Everyone has already said it. Easy and much like others that have been done before. Fooey Mooey!
builder Nov 11, 2011	Mooey was not a cow. "He" denotes the masculine and that ain't bull, but he is.
doehead Nov 11, 2011	Again a good one for the younger crowd. But maybe it's time to MOOve this one to the trash barrel. And a to T & that dancing lady from Mi.
gaylewolf Nov 11, 2011	Not much to add - it's already been said! Today is 11/11/11 and since that's a rare occurrence, I'll have to do something special to celebrate this day! So, moooving right along... Thank you Doehead! Have a great day everyone!
mountaincowboy Nov 11, 2011	I almost over thought this one
auntiesis Nov 11, 2011	Very funny, too easy. Thanks to all the vets out there.
Oddwhiskers Nov 12, 2011	so obvious it was "your name" that trick was pulled on me all the time in kindergarten happy late veterans day!
