Mogmatt16 Apr 25, 2002	I got them from the same place and they're just so short.
BigSurf18 Sep 18, 2002	Haha, Thats origional, yet, interesting! :-) good job!
absy Dec 07, 2003	i think you should have seperated them cause i thought that you were doing the same thing with both lines, and i could think of nothing that related to both...its confusing.
thecinnemonbear Oct 10, 2004	watch your spelling
dutchymonster Sep 01, 2005	I thought it was one teaser and was trying to work it out. if I knew it was two seperate teasers I would maybe have got them .............or not
boodler Dec 02, 2005	3 people wrote "separated"; none correctly!
seanlandrews Jan 03, 2007	I agree with the above comments. This should have been split or there should have been an indication that the two lines did not refer to the same thing.
