those were really great! i got em all, but it took me awhile...shakespeare threw me off though! i was thinking famous clowns, little kids, even a Sasha Keeper (whatever that is)!
good stuff...got three of them
That was teh AWSOME!
I got 2 of them...so I feel a little smart, ...not too smart, and not too dumb
Hysterical! More like this! I especially liked "he bugs Gore".
Good Anagrams - but the April agony hint had me completely confused - I live in Australia and taxes are paid after June 30th...
The Nutcracker is not a great ballet. Tchaikovsky himself hated it.
Nice job...I got three
fairly clever, but it seems like these were found somewhere, rather than created by a braingler. my two cents....
very nice... i got all t hem except income tax... im 14 so i was out of that one!
like griphook said "funtastic! more of these please" I got all except Shakspeare yay me! And thank you for the fun ego boost
HE BUGS GORE!!
GIT-ER-DUN!!!

Good one! I'm starting to like anagrams more and more. The only one that stumped me was "Seek a phrase." How DARE you use a tricky hint to throw me off! Just kidding. I was thinking along the lines of a court jester and trying to remember another word or words for that. Anyway, great teaser!
That was good
that was fun, i only got two, but it was very creative

Great teaser Keep up the good work
A really nice teaser. I got the soup and income tax right away, but (my bad) didn't have time this morning to work out the rest. Thanks for a clever puzzle.
Took a bit of thought but I did get all but the Nutcracker one. Fun teaser, IronMaiden. Thanks for posting.
great one. I got all but Shakespeare.
Excellent teaser.
Nice one! I think I've heard the Bush one before...that one will never get old...
That was great, IronMaiden! I really enjoyed them. Thanks!
I put a few others together a while ago ... if you want to check them out, search for "Analogy Anagrams".

Good stuff.
I did not try to unscramble because it takes too long and it is late, but I did get three without unscrambling as the clues gave it away.
P.S. I am first in 2014! Ha!

Well I am number 3 and it is only 7:30 AM. I think they go up in what is the middle of the night for some of us. I am pretty sure BABE has said she is on the WEST COAST so so if it is "late" there, it is the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT on the east coast. And only getting on toward morning in Europe, where many Users will be too busy getting ready for work and /or school to bother getting on the site until later.
The comments are not what drives the site, I myself am on here several times a day every day (playing games, working on my own quizzes etc) but only comment on about half the teasers or quizzes I do.
We need to recruit new people, not worry about who is or is not commenting on things.
Why comment again on something I commented on 3 years ago?

Well said HABS. But as far as the teaser goes. It was very outdated. I don't think Bush and Gore duel anymore.
good job...rather easy

Yes, Habs, I am on the West Coast. California to be exact. It is starting to get hot here, and I do not look forward to that anymore. Used to love hot weather, but no more.
Ok if you are in the states, I guess!
Dubious clues didn't help?
