froggygg May 10, 2005	I really enjoyed this one - especially the look, kool aspect! Very creative.
dsquared May 10, 2005	Thanks you three
bigSWAFF_69_ Jun 26, 2005	(50% good? whatever) It is quite good, but i dont like your use of advertisements (in the interview topic) D
dsquared Jun 26, 2005	Errrr. You asked me a question about which of my teasers I liked the most so I pasted it into the interview. I provided no link, just the contents. What else was I supposed to do . I don't like what you have done with this situation. I can only hope you are joking as you have put a few smilies in your message but even with those it doesn't come across all that pleasantly.
zonahobo Feb 24, 2006	Very excellant example of a really kool rebus .. thanks for the fun and the education on writing these! ..
dsquared Feb 26, 2006	Thanks Zona... didn't know I was giving lessons
mmmcla01 Jun 28, 2006	What's with all the percentages.....it's not like this was a test or something.....either you liked it or you didn't...and if you didn't why bother trying to put other people down with your comments? All it amounts to is a waste of everyone's time.
mmmcla01 Jun 28, 2006	...By the way great teaser...the hint gave it away...but it was still a lot of fun ...not to mention a very good lesson!!
dsquared Jul 04, 2006	Thanks mmmcla01
tintiniscool Sep 23, 2006	WOW! This is one of my favorites!!!!! I REALLY like this one!!!!!
dsquared Sep 24, 2006	Thanks Tintin . I used to read Tintin a lot and I agree with your nickname.
dimez_00 Oct 23, 2006	i was close. i said look back and forth then cross the road
dsquared Oct 23, 2006	Good work Dimez, you got the gist of it
riddle_of_fate May 20, 2007	i almost got it but i came up with look around before crossing the road
Madelulabelle May 20, 2007	Good teaser, really easy though.
Phoenixtears May 20, 2007	I actually looked at this, didn't get it, then left. Then I looked at my computer again a few hours later and realized I had left this teaser up. My sister came in, and for some reason, I finally got it! Thanks for the fun!
cloughme May 20, 2007	Good, but pretty easy...
mosca May 20, 2007	Very cute teaseer!
anion May 20, 2007	I got it but actually didn't understand it still. It wasn't till I read the answer that I realized how look both ways was represented. I was trying to figure out what Look Kool meant. Great teaser. I really enjoyed it.
puttumup May 20, 2007	thumbs down...yuck
doehead May 20, 2007	And 5 years later we are still using this rebus.YUK
sumZ May 20, 2007	i usualli write Kool with the K , it makes 'cool' look more 'Kool' [wink] but i must say this rebus was way too Kool !! you formulate very creatively. [smile]
lmurray May 20, 2007	RUDIMENTARY.
Brock May 20, 2007	thats cool
tngurl May 20, 2007	Fun!!! Great job!! Thanks!!!
SaxLuver927 May 20, 2007	i loved it! easy as π! get it? easy as pie? he he... he...
bradon182001 May 20, 2007	I so didn't get this. The hint let me figure it out, but I needed the answer to understand it. I'd say it really gave my brain a workout and that is what this is all about. Thanks.
oxymoron May 20, 2007	you spelled spelled wrong... there is no such thing as spelt. www.dictionary.com told me so. awesome teaser, though! rock on! {{oxymoron}} {{mournful optimist}}
auntiesis May 20, 2007	I barely looked at it, and the answer popped into my head, [after I read the hint] . Don't ask me how, because I couldn't tell you. I thought the answer was a very good way to explain the teaser, but I never would have thought it out so lucidly in my own head. Just knew it.
Shikamaru May 20, 2007	that is definitely the best one i have ever seen.
serenity815 May 20, 2007	This was great...thanks.
speedqueenkmw May 20, 2007	enjoyed it, keep them coming.
hunny_bunny May 20, 2007	That was an awesome teaser!!!!
Trishgal May 20, 2007	Very nice I liked it and it was cute Good job!
hockeyfan94 May 20, 2007	Great teaser. Easy though. Took me under a minute. It was very creative. GREAT JOB. dsquared, what were you talking about in one of your comments? Oh, btw, spelt is correct!
composer May 20, 2007	Very clever. Too bad "Look both ways before crossing the road." isn't still taught to kids these days though...
jabdr May 20, 2007	Argh!@ Once again, after reading the hint AND the answer, I wonder how I didn't get it. Too clever for my brain waves. Loved it
Alex722 May 20, 2007	That was interesting...I enjoyed that one... Thanks! And keep up the good work! ♥
dsquared May 20, 2007	Wow, must have been this teasers turn for TOTD again. Thanks again for all the comments.
gallopingboo May 20, 2007	great one!
dsquared May 20, 2007	Thanks Boo!
Dreamchaser May 21, 2007	this was fun
cassiemark May 21, 2007	Got it right away - Good one!
frozenrose_885 May 21, 2007	Very Cool!
dsquared May 21, 2007	Thank you
j9mattfield May 22, 2007	I was too impatient today and looked at the hint right away...gave it away. Well written!! Thanks
dsquared May 22, 2007	Yes, rebuses can be like that sometimes can't they . Thanks
oddrey Sep 22, 2007	I absolutely love your rebuses (or is it rebi?)
dsquared Sep 26, 2007	Thanks oddrey.... yes this one has cropped up before and I think the consensus came out to rebuses. :-)
Jimbo Oct 12, 2007	5 years later and its still a very good rebus!
gaylewolf May 21, 2010	I must have been asleep I didn't even SEE Look kool My answer was "bumps in the road" Very clever, dsquared! Thanks!
emu77alu02 May 21, 2010	took me a second to see that 'kool' was 'look' backwards, and not just another spelling of 'cool.' But after that the rest came quickly. Very nice!
auntiesis May 21, 2010	Fun, fun, still easy, but fun.
Babe May 21, 2013	I got it easily enough, but did not care too much for it.
cutebug May 21, 2013	Like the shows on TV now. Old reruns.
tripleteam5 May 21, 2013	Good one ! When I get these , I mostly say " a snap" I felt really good when dolving this so Thanks
