I'm not rude....I'm arrogantly observant.....

Well you got part of it right, arrogant. I have yet to see anyone so negative on here. But on to the neat Teaser, Peppa, you did it again. It was sweet and fun. Did get them all with very little difficulty. Keep them coming.
i didn't say you were rude , just negative . it's okay if you found this simple , so did i . i still enjoyed it . i didn't feel i had to insult anyone or thing.
Not hard, but FUN!
ah , chupas . i knew coming back here to see if you had responded would be worth my while . you're so eloquent !!!!
you're falling in love with me , aren't you ?
you're falling in love with me , aren't you ?
I didn't get any of them. I didn't understand, because I didn't read the "intructions"
I liked this one. But master (2) could have been men tor instead of ex pert. Pretty good though. I'm sure there are lots of alternatives.
cute.
Did you really say kiss my eggs, Chupa?
Did you really say kiss my eggs, Chupa?
I guess that makes sense since you apparently like to suck them. Do you like eggs a lot or something?
Nice job, PPatty.
Hey, egg sucker- Nadie desea aspirar sus huevos, porque usted no tiene ninguna huevos.

I enjoyed this teaser. Took a minute and a paper and pen but I got it. I enjoy teasers that are not so difficult but that do stimulate my brain at the same time.
Excellent job!!!

you look at the number in the () and then pick that # of syllables from above that makes a word that is the clue..aka. long sled....toboggan
I really enjoyed this one. A fairly easy teaser for a lazy morning, but it still takes some thought.
Pretty good teaser, once I figured out the instructions.
great!!!
Totally Awesome teaser! A little on the easy side, but I enjoy these type of teasers. Keep them coming!
I must admit I needed a pen & paper to do this one, nevertheless I found it easy, but fun. I enjoy this kind of teaser. Stimulating, but not impossible. Thanks.
Bravo!!

I didn't understand it.
Once you think it through . The answers come too you with realive ease
not too hard and fun. enjoyed it
i thought it was hard-but lots of fun
Quite easy and fun to do. Copied the puzzle into Notepad and then cut and pasted the syllables alongside the words - so now I'm a computer expert too!
BRA VO.
BRA VO.
This was very doable..got them all no problem enjoyed it
I don't have much to say about the teaser.... maybe I've done too many of this style, or something.
But the COMMENTS! Hilarious. It's neat seeing the conversation from previous teasers continuing in on this one. Although I can't help but wonder: isn't there enough teasers here that the TOTD shouldn't need to be the same as last year? Not that I've seen them before, but it just seems odd that we keep getting TOTD's that have a wave of comments from approximately a year ago.
Great teaser, got them all. I really like word games . good job.
Fun. Like doing crosswords in reverse.
Easy but enjoyable. Cheers.
Got them all almost immediately! You can tell by my name that I love this kind of teaser. Thanks, Peppa!
Fun Teaser, wish the editors would put mine up for everybody.
bra-vo!
Fun!
A pretty hard teaser... I loved the way you set it out
Enjoyable, but yet another repeat. Was easy, but fun.
This is one of my favorite types of teaser. I do a puzzle similar to this one in my local newspaper. Thanks for posting this one!
I too do the newspaper ones, so they help get this kind of teaser done and also it makes it a bit easier.
Good one!
Good one!
Enjoyed this one - Thanks for posting!
These are easy, and get easier with every answer, as that leaves fewer syllables to sift through.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly with the excellent clues given.
Fun teaser. Not trivially easy for me. I could not do it in my head. I only got three that way. I had to paste the syllable list into a temp doc and delete them as I used them to get the rest. Fun.
