elentir Jul 12, 2010	This was a good one, although I didn't get it. I think it would fit better under the Series catagory than the Trick category though.
doehead Jul 12, 2010	Got me. Don't know where I was on this one. I wasn't even in the same ballpark.

wordmama Jul 12, 2010	Pre-breakfast, I lost patience right away! Even the hint didn't help! When I looked at the answer, I was mad at myself; it would have been gettable if I'd given it a chance! A good one!
antlerlady Jul 12, 2010	I feel dumb. Maybe I shouldn't try these before breakfast. Or when I'm not awake yet.
