MJs_Kitten Aug 22, 2002	ummm....if the Pibbles thing was a little inside joke...it wasnt very funny
NuttyPrince Aug 22, 2002	Nah...the name Pibbles ain't got nuthin to do with it and it wern't a joke...i jus saw it off a cartoon 8-D.
(user deleted) Aug 24, 2002	Regardless of the Pibbles thing, I thought that it was cute.

Elsae Jan 18, 2003	That was a good one. xD
Shoobop May 13, 2003	i never heard that and i get it! at first i didnt. awesome joke!
peterg May 26, 2003	ok the whole deal wit Pibbles is to distract the reader from the easy answer..which seemed to have wrkd on you ppl..lol
trickster2005 Aug 29, 2005	WOW! some people are so darn picky. Its not their teaser so who cares about the name!
AZTTT Oct 05, 2005	Good one! Very clever of that bus driver. Hopefully Pibbles will not get hungry and eat more than one a day
ElectricYou Oct 26, 2005	I got it right away yay. Kind of a groaner lol but a good one
ragethe3rd Dec 20, 2005	Hehe, it was cute. Who cares about the name?
aball911 Mar 01, 2008	omg, that's hilarious !!! lol, and Pibbles is a cool name, i don't see why everyone's got a problem with it...
jazzyca7 Sep 14, 2008	way too easy!!!!
avonma Oct 22, 2008	I agree - a groaner - and too easy - but I like an easy one now and then
AlanJS Oct 22, 2008	cute...
FredS Oct 22, 2008	I don't care for riddles like this because there could be multiple plausible solutions. The guy named his horse after his lady. The guy is a grocer and sold the apples to her at a cheap price to express his love, etc
dancer141 Oct 22, 2008	Easy... but cute!
bradon182001 Oct 22, 2008	I agree with avonna. Very easy, but cute.Thanks for posting.
cacepc Oct 22, 2008	A VERY GOOD ONE! KEEP 'EM COMING!
auntiesis Oct 22, 2008	Very easy. Why Pibbles ? Why not. I think the name probably distracts people from the simplicity of the teaser. Enjoyed the comments as much as the teaser.
abrain Oct 22, 2008	You didn't trick me with the Pibbles distraction. I'm getting better at these!
blove1974 Oct 22, 2008	Way too easy I need stimulation!
zaya Oct 22, 2008	Waste of time, too easy.
FatHead Oct 22, 2008	The point of "Pibbles" is to trick you! Anyway, I thought this was more a joke or riddle than a trick teaser.
smartymarty Oct 23, 2008	Very easy, but cute. I'll try this one on my granddaughter
Elios Oct 24, 2008	Heheh, silly. One of those answers that seems too easy to be right - very nice!
kingofda808 Oct 28, 2008	YEAH IDK who said it but it was E-Z ad da name waz 2 throw u off..lol 2 easy but preaty nce...
gottalovetacsc Nov 30, 2008	HAHAHHAA loved it! And I think Pibbles is supposed to make you think of a horse.
kubesh Oct 14, 2009	I think that that would be more of a joke. But whatever, it good!
mathisnice Apr 17, 2010	Funny, but more of a joke.
Sariya Mar 01, 2011
Babe Oct 22, 2011	Boring and way too easy!! Oh sorry! I forgot that I like easy.
gaylewolf Oct 22, 2011	Yes it was easy, but cute! I liked it - thank you! Hi and happy weekend, friends!
Bebophitchhiker Oct 22, 2011	Yeah, yeah, it was easy. But big deal. I thought it was still funny.
HABS2933 Oct 22, 2011	So it was easy. There is no pleasing a lot of people on here. "Too easy" "Too hard" "didn't like the subject matter". I personally thought it was funny, should have been in the riddle category not trick but was still cute.
doehead Oct 22, 2011	The apple a day didn't work. The doctor thought Pibbles was a peach, and he loved peaches. G & S have a great day.
wordmama Oct 22, 2011	I loved that it was easy and funny!
gaylewolf Oct 22, 2011	Doehead, loved your comment. Yours too, HABS and Wordmama - most people are in a good, happy, positive mood today!! Nice to see it!
auntiesis Oct 22, 2011	Ditto Gaylewolf,and I especially liked doehead's comment. Go doe. I also thought it was a joke, not a trick.
Mandy7 Oct 23, 2011	that was funny. good one!
cnblue0114 Apr 13, 2012	title kinda gave it away.... but really awesome. btw, pibbles is an awesome name
