ragethe3rd Jan 21, 2006	Me likie!
Tomatoes Jan 21, 2006	aw this one was so cute! this is the first time im writing a comment for a teaser. i got all ov em keep it up!!!
coachpisco Jan 21, 2006	Only got 3 out of 5
smee Jan 21, 2006	Yeah, I only got 3 of them also. Numbers 1, 3, and 5. The other two, I had no clue!
shawneeo Jan 21, 2006	Got 'em all, got em alllll !!!yeeeeaaaaayyyyy! I had to go a la thesaurus for no. 2, the rest I got fairly fast, the PERFECT level of difficulty!!! I think that brook crook would also work for no.2, like the crook of your arm, the crook of your neck, I suppose its not used much but it means an indentation, curve, that kind of thing (but I didn't look it up, I've just heard it used, more when I was a child in the country). Thanks muchly, that was great, could have been much longer in my opin, Thanks!
choptlivva Jan 21, 2006	Great teaser peppamntp!!! Not too easy, not too hard. I got 'em all except #5.... but I think I came up with a valid alternative.... How about "steel seal" for metal drain plug?
OldChinaHand Jan 21, 2006	I couldn't rhyme or reason out 2, but the rest rolled off the tongue nicely. Well done.
mogur Jan 21, 2006	Good one, PP. Shawneo, you're absolutely right, there are crooks in brooks. I saw several of them in Deliverance. J/k, it is in the dictionary, though, so it has to count.
vlerma Jan 21, 2006	Great as usual peppamintp. Enjoyed it immensely. Had trouble with #2 but otherwise it just brought out the poet in me. Ha Ha! KEEP 'EM COMING!
christine77 Jan 21, 2006	I really liked this one, got em all!!
jabdr Jan 21, 2006	Way to go Peppa...you've got me smiling! I'm waiting for Rhyme Time 3.
anchorman21 Jan 21, 2006	Clever! I enjoyed this one! Keep sending 'em in
WJSMama Jan 21, 2006	Good one
jcann Jan 21, 2006	That was fun. I like this kind. I got them all, but had to think .I'd like more of these.
iteachkids Jan 21, 2006	Good thinking, choptliva. I think "steel seal" works, too. Fun teaser!
booboobear Jan 21, 2006	I didn't get them all. It was fun to try though--thanks
wizofaus Jan 21, 2006	I had "steel seal" for the last one. I also thought of "waterway bay" for #2, but guessed that brook nook was more likely.
highlama Jan 21, 2006	That was good; for #4 though I got "too two" ... maybe a stretch
geniesue Jan 21, 2006	Good job. love these rhyme times!
Lucasgal Jan 21, 2006	Good One!!
baseball_enzo Jan 21, 2006	this was stupid
bluehawk Jan 22, 2006	GOOD ONE "PEPPER....."
KerryB Jan 22, 2006	I enjoyed this one :-) Got all except for the 5th, and the 3rd I guessed 'wave cave'.
superben Jan 22, 2006	i got #3
kashby Apr 13, 2006	good 1
scallio Feb 16, 2007	I didn't get that copper stopper, but this was a fun teaser! Thanks!
bradon182001 Feb 16, 2007	Like scallio I didn't get the last one, but had fun trying. Thanks for the fun teaser.
doehead Feb 16, 2007	I see we're using 5th grade rythmes.
shannmo Feb 16, 2007	i see doehead is using 1st grade spelling.
wordmama Feb 16, 2007	good 1 shann! Submitter, enjoyed this immensely. I don't care if it's easy; it was great fun! Had to take an extra beat for brook nook and copper stopper, but otherwise immediate answers--good wake-up!! Thanks a bunch!
katjojo Feb 16, 2007	I really like this type of teasers!! Thanks!
Jawn_Knee Feb 16, 2007	How about river quiver for number #2?
craniac Feb 16, 2007	Does it bother anyone besides me that the intro to these teasers always says "Language brain teaser are" when it should be "teasers are"? I just think that a web site about careful thought and use of language ought to match plural subjects with plural verbs in its instructions. But I haven't had my coffee yet this a.m., so maybe I'm just grumpy.
sftball_rocks13 Feb 16, 2007	This was so cute! Love these, keep them coming!
hradilv Feb 16, 2007	Fun and easy - great for Friday morning. Thanks.
zaya Feb 16, 2007	Great one! Got all but #5, but I lobby for "steel seal" which I put too
heyman Feb 16, 2007	#1 For Moby Dick fan letter I also came up with "whaler haler" And for #4 Extra couple I propose "Two Too"
cassiemark Feb 16, 2007	Cute - that was fun
AbsurdHero Feb 16, 2007	Didn't care for this one at all. Too obscure.
lmurray Feb 16, 2007	ANOTHER RERUN! SINCE IT SAYS I ALREADY RATED THIS TEASER AND I DON'T SEE ANY OF MY COMMENTS, I ASSUME MY COMMENTS WERE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE OR I DIDN'T THINK THE TEASER DESERVED A COMMENT. I DID HOWEVER ENJOY THE COMMENT ABOUT 5th GRADE RHYMES.
if_i_may94 Feb 16, 2007	booooorriingg.
breathesunshine Feb 16, 2007	Fun fun fun!!! And not a rerun for me by the way. Since we all have our strengths and weaknesses, I enjoy seeing a variety of ability levels presented. Keep up the good work!
Qrystal Mar 07, 2007	I liked it!! And I got 'em all except #2, but I'm glad I'm not alone! Good alternative answer, those of you who got "steel seal", but I really liked "copper stopper" too (because that's the one I got! Heehee!)
funnimunki Feb 17, 2010	@Doehead and Lmurray Don't put yourself up as too intelligent for these teasers. All you are showing is your arrogance. No one likes a Smart Alec.
doehead Feb 17, 2010	No funny monkey face, you are the smart alec.
patiencewithaP Feb 17, 2010	Didn't get copper stopper...but it was fun!
sunnybonghits Feb 17, 2010	Nice Required some thinking but not too hard.
auntiesis Feb 17, 2010	Too hard for me.
Babe Feb 17, 2013	That one made me chuckle! I liked this one a lot. I only got 3 but had fun trying the rest. Good one!
jaycr Feb 17, 2013	Fun one !
gaylewolf Feb 17, 2013	Happy Birthday Babe! Hope you have a wonderful day!
cutebug Feb 17, 2013	What can I say? Wornout and overused!!!
Maggiethe8th Feb 17, 2013	I enjoyed it-took a minute for deductive reasoning to wake up enough for stream cove, but tickled when I got it!
jandjfrench Feb 17, 2013	And I thought "rivlet inlet" was rather obvious for number 2.
HABS2933 Feb 17, 2013	Enjoyed it enough but was for some reason unable to come up with BrookNook
