1st to comment!! c00l teaser
WoW! all i got was cell phone.....nice one
WOAH!!watta teaser, a very good one indeed!!!
Got a few , missed a few. Really fun teaser, would like to see more.
I don't mind a tough teaser, but, it should at least be solvable.
If "TO CHOKE SKIES" = "KISS THE COOK", where did the extra "E" go?

these kind of puzzles are exactly in my wheelhouse. I agree, where's the extra E? Did you mean SKIS? Word puzzles have to be exact.
Good catch on the extra E. Makes it that much more difficult. Also, "lounge" is misspelled in the answer.
I got a few, but gave up because it was much too long and time consuming. It was a good teaser, but just too long for me, and I became bored trying.
Got all but barbecued shrimp. Now I need some aspirin for a headache.
Good one, I found it IN TEN TIGERS.
Difficult to solve for us Aussies, particularly those who like myself, don't watch any American shows; I managed about half!
What's a 'Chaise Lounge'?
Does serving corn on the cob & ( bbqued shrimp? ), really warrant an announcement? I was thinking it was some sort of celebration announcement.
Sorry, I became bored after a while!

Anagrams without correct spacing are so hard!! Nice job!
In Australia, we spell: "Barbecue" with a "Q"?
Apart from that, it was a good cognitive workout, thank you!
Would love to see more of these!
