Good teaser. You fooled me. I was looking for an answer in Shakespear or something like that. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Really good teaser. And, the clue didn't give it away to me. I still didn't figure it out. Clever, well thought out. Thanks for posting. :o

I would have been able to figure it out in another 2 minutes; I thought it had something to do with the days. Why didn't I look inside the words??? :-? :-? :-? Good one! :D

I like it a lot I got it extremely fast though (because of the name). I love puns so it was up my alley. keep em coming

Good teaser - I wish I would have paid more attention to the title! Happy Day to AS and DH! :wink:

Although this was another repeat, it was still hard for most people. But the only and original DOEHEAD conquered it again. :lol: :lol: A :wink: to Mi & Ct.

I thought it was so simple, until I read the answer :-? I had guessed that they all had to do with 'states', not just governed entities, but various conditions, and assumed this was a short list. (a country can be considered a state, being still, belonging to someone, etc.) Guess my mental state is a bit weak today! :D

That wasn't a teaser it was more of an assault. :x :x

Posted by dsjt11/16/11
Best I could come up with was that they were all English words. But I knew my answer was weak.

Posted by auntiesis11/16/11
Kudos to the magnificent doehead. :wink: I didn't get it this time, but it was still good. :-?

Posted by moner_manush11/16/11
was puzzled at first...then a look at the title and a minute of staring..and hurrah... i had the answer :D :D

Posted by davidrools11/16/11
The title gave it away without the clue, but still took a few guesses. Nice one :)

Posted by Mandy711/18/11
