it was easy and fun
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That's really good.
Hee hee, Jazz. Another good one. Doable but very fun.
HUZZAH!! MORE OF THESE, PLEASE THAT WAS FUN I was thrown off by the title and the first clue...i thought it was "loon" and I kept trying to get other bird names

Thanks guys

Very cute teaser! Was fun!
With all the people wanting to submit teasers, why do we get so many repeats?
Like Aarghonauts and Wordmama, I got the first word in my head as coin and tried to build from there. Unfortunately I didn't really pay attention to the title, or I probably would have gone in another direction and maybe have gotten it. Another great teaser Jazz.

I was on the lines of food. loin like sirloin, steak, fillet, etc... maybe I'm hungry...
That was GREAT! Like Superman!
I also didn't notice the title at all, and started at the beginning of the list, desperately trying to make all the words have to do with first- metal: coin, steel, um... then birds: loon, um... and then was interrupted by cats! Finally looked at the hint, and that did it, but still, it wasn't totally without effort once I knew what the theme was!
Good work, thanks for the great teaser!

Using the hint, I got about half right. Missed Lois, Kent and Lane...was too focused on Superman skills Great teaser
....Cape, not Kent
doehead how is this a repeat ? it has never been teaser of the day before. it has comments because it is on the site everyday. if you want something brand new look for the word new in the lists of teasers
omg!!
that one was really cool
i only got a few right though!

Too hard, need more coffee!!!
Thanks guys for the (mostly) positive feedback. I enjoyed coming up with the idea just as much as you enjoyed working it out.
Don't worry too much about Doehead. The nick and continual bad karma says it all!

Thanks. Another good one.
Great fun ... thanks! The hint made it easy ... I was getting nowhere without it (still got stumped on two of them though ).
this was a really good one jazz... it stumped me all day yesterday and half of today 'til i decided to give up... didnt help that i convinced myself that the theme was something to do with airplanes?!?!?... oh well, i gave it my best and had tons of fun trying... maybe i'll get the next one
I really enjoyed this teaser. I realize I put STEAM for STEAL (like steam locomotive) and STEEL for Steed but I still got the answer.
Thank you all
Doggie: Sorry for causing you so much stress!

WOOHOO! that was SUPER fun! Totally LOL'd when it came to me! Thanks!
I really enjoyed this the second time around!
I needed the hint for this one and then it became super easy! Good one. Thanks!
OOPS! I did not notice the title or I would not have needed the hint. I better be more observant next time.
For me (and a lot of others is seems) the title gave it away. It was a good idea though.
I agree w/HABS.
Got it with the hint
