WJSMama Jan 13, 2006	That was a good challenge
wizofaus Jan 24, 2006	Nice, but never heard of a "romaine" - it's called "cos" here. And what on earth is "lurry"?
Rach_ Nov 20, 2006	That was great!
OldChinaHand Nov 20, 2006	Challenging for a beef eater, but still fun to work out. Good one.
lmurray Nov 20, 2006	BASIC, BUT NOT MY CUP OF SOUP.
lmurray Nov 20, 2006	WHERE IS ALL THE ENJOYMENT EVERYONE SEEMS TO GET OUT OF SOLVING OR IN MANY CASES NOT SOLVING THESE TEASERS? I DON'T GET IT!
nu_rob_roy Nov 20, 2006	Imurray, you never have and never will...get it. Too bad. This teaser was fun to solve, and I think a lot of fun it create. Thank you.
puttumup Nov 20, 2006	i thought it was to hard for the averags joe ....
coachpisco Nov 20, 2006	Tough but fun
I_Write_Books Nov 20, 2006	Good Teaser! Great Challenge!
jaydeco Nov 20, 2006	Fun but hard!
Synlapse Nov 20, 2006	I noticed some definite stretch marks on a few of those combos. It put me in a vegetative state.
scallio Nov 20, 2006	Much tougher than it looks. I didn't even get the last 3: cucumber, radish and pepper, let alone the bonus words. Good job putting these together.
jr_whiz Nov 20, 2006	Dude! Awsome! Tubular! GJ! KIU!
Anarocka Nov 20, 2006	I didn't get it.It was very good though.
Blondie116 Nov 20, 2006	Very Clever! Loved it
wordmama Nov 20, 2006	Javian, kudos; I enjoyed this teaser. I'm afraid your bonus items detracted rather than added to the quality of the puzzle: never heard of 'lurry', gar and lick I don't know in connection with your definitions, and not age is an AWFUL stretch for onion! But the top 10 were Great! I got 9/10, all but #1, didn't love shift for budge but got cabbage just from taxi. Otherwise, those were SUPER! Lastly, to one of the commenters, where is romaine 'cos'? (intellectual curosity!) I guess that was not last;this is: IMMURRAY, why are you on this site if you don't get enjoyment from it??!!
ari_1 Nov 20, 2006	tee hee that was fun!!!!! good job!!
Trishgal Nov 20, 2006	Enjoyed the puzzle Even though I did not know them all and knew none of the bonus points well... i knew about half of them . it was a nice little brain exercise i should have got some others. thx for the puzzle :wink
locutus13ds Nov 20, 2006	UGHHH It was rough I tell ya1
bonnieshad Nov 20, 2006	i dont get it!!! then again i dont get anything so it all good
Pizzazz2u Nov 20, 2006	LMurray, you have to be able to create your own magic, fun or entertainment. If you can NOT find, make or create any joy for yourself or of seeing someone create a remedy, for a diaster, etc. then DO NOT worry about ever finding out WHY others can feel an enjoyment for anything. A super fun teaser! Very good! Keep up the good work.
POPS Nov 20, 2006	OUCH!!!!! That was too TOUGH for me I just do not have enough time to solve a tough one like that SORRY.
jabdr Nov 20, 2006	I loved this one Clever and inventive... and the title implies 'stretches'. Didn't get #8 and missed all three in bonus round...but smiled the whole time.
bradon182001 Nov 20, 2006	I really liked this one. Don't pay any attention to Imurray, he is only one person who doesn't like anything anyone submits, yet he doesn't submit any of his own. Great teaser, good fun.
krystalklearsky Nov 20, 2006	Really fun and challenging but a little hard. I like it.
starsky13 Nov 26, 2006	Very challenging; I had a lot of fun trying to figure out all of the possibilities in a salad and then finding the correct synonym to your clues. Great Job on Your creatitivity; I agree the bonus ones were not really great and took away from the great initial ones. Thanks for the challenge! I enjoyed it a lot!
Qrystal Dec 18, 2006	Yayyyy I got one of the bonus ones! I somehow thought of "not age" as "un young" and that got me the correct answer, if not by the expected reasoning. "eon" was wayyy better!! Good thing the "gar" one was bonus, and not part of the actual teaser; Apparantly "gar" is a nearly obsolete Scottish word, which makes it a little unfair to 99.9% of the world. I don't have anything to say about "lurry", because I found it in dictionary.com, but it didn't come up at thesaurus.com as having any synonyms.... I had a lot of fun with this, though, so much so that I came back to it a second time to finish up. I got all but 3 and 8 of the main ones, + one bonus, so I'm calling my score 90% (8/10 + 1 bonus). Congratz to me, but even more so, congratz to Javian for making such an interesting and fun teaser!
doehead Nov 20, 2009	Said that I already rated this teaser. I didn't like it then and I still don't. But that's my personal opinion.
gaylewolf Nov 20, 2009	Did I miss something on #7? Where is the hint relating to "key"? animal park - zoo crucial leg joint - knee (now I see the "K" in knee - is that it?) Bottom line - I love these puzzles! Thanks!!
gaylewolf Nov 20, 2009	PS I think 1-10 were good Bonus 3 weren't necessary!
flyfisher Nov 20, 2009	gaylewolf- "crucial leg joint" crucial = key and leg joint = knee thus zoo-key-knee
patiencewithaP Nov 20, 2009	Fun but hard! I got most of them but a few threw me for a loop. Thanks for posting!
auntiesis Nov 20, 2009	I got the first 7 with no trouble, but then I got stuck on the rest of them. Really fun teaser.
UptheHill Nov 20, 2009	Me too!!!
leroyleroy Nov 20, 2009	BORING BORING BORING
animallover2000 Nov 21, 2009	Stumped on the bonus's. But, good teaser... Took me a little less than 20 minutes!!!!!!!
Babe Nov 20, 2012	I got most of them when I figured out what I was supposed to do. I rather like imurray. He knows how to push buttons and enjoys getting a rise out of everyone. I don't think he is really a mean person. He is just having fun getting people to respond to his comments, and everyone keeps falling for it by responding. Clever! He is laughing heartily! Good quiz by the way!
cutebug Nov 20, 2012	Not my bag. Babe, you are right on about imurray.
gaylewolf Nov 20, 2012	Some of these were a stretch! As are some of the comments!
