Good one fishmed , but you got me ...(again)
Very nice
I got them all but it's because they were just in the Reader's Digest and I did them yesterday. Does that count?
Yes it counts. That's where i found it and after checking, I found it's okay to put them here as many Brainglers do not get Reader's Digest.
I've enjoyed these - not seen them in reader's digest. Hope you have more.
Resourceful thinking. Keep them coming.
i got the truffle and the painter.....I don't get Reader's Digest.
i like rhymes and riddles, so this is going in my favorites.
That was a good one. Only got 2 right out of the list.
This was cool. I probably missed one or two.
I love these...although isn't the word "Slumber" not "Slumder"? The latter isn't a word.
You're right, I fixed it.
This is quite good, except Painter, Dali? What does that mean?
Salvador Dali was a painter.
Enjoyed this one immensely.

UHH, DUH! OKAY I'LL BE HONEST YOU GOT ME FISHMED. I'M EMBARESSED TO SAY,"DO I FEEL DUMB OR WHAT"!!! , GOOD ONE, KEEP THEM COMING
I have no clue lol
Great fun! I didn't have the patience to think hard enough this morning to get them all, but I really enjoyed it.
A really fun one! I enjoyed this teaser. I knew most of the answers, but struggled a little with #2... eventually I got it without having to look up the answers.
I have a question.... why is it that I just recieved this teaser today, but I'm seeing comments dating all the way back to October 27th?
This was fun... but really really hard
I liked this, I got them all, but struggled a little with nos. 5 &7. I thought it was fun, and just hard enough to be enjoyable. To above: I don[t know what's with the dates.
Great Teaser!! Loved it even though I only got 3.
those were fun and just challenging enough. two thumbs up!
that was a hard one
but still it was fun

WOW.... can't believe I got ALL of them!! That second cup of coffee must have worked!! Great teaser!!!
This was very fun! I got them all! Great teaser
Ouch! I got 0 out of 0... maybe another day. Nice one.
Not too hard, not too easy, this one was just right.
really enjoyed it. Got all but the 1st one (and embarrassed to say i don't know who Salvidor Dali is??) - but at least that shows I don't look up the answers! I like these in the morning - gets my old brain working.
it was cool, but u lost me in it! kinda braindead cuz im home sikk!
Too early for Me!!
Pretty easy scince I just finished reading Readers Digest But any way: GOOD ONE
great teaser
I got them all except #1. I was thinking Holly Painter. ???
I got them all except number 1...I was thinking Skater, Olly, which kinda works too. I like Dali better though
yeah poopstain, except for the fact that "skater" doesn't rhyme with "fainter".
good teaser, though.

HOORAY! -claps till hand hurts- fun teaser!
HOORAY! -claps till hand hurts- fun teaser!

Sorry all. . .but I thought this was kinda dumb
I don't think it's dumb lol. I think it rocks and anyone who has the guts to post a teaser deserves a good round of applause!
And I got them all but Painter, Dali...don't really get it but hey, ya gotta be smarter than the average bear (me being less than average lol)

That was a TOUGHIE It was a good one?????? I think, but not my kind of BAG

i thought i was a little borin, i didn't get them right.

i thought that was great! really challenging. the only problem is that Dali is accented on the i, meaning it doesn't rhyme with jolly when pronounced correctly.
I loved it. Creative ! Makes you think - makes you smile when you don't know it and then see the answer - makes you crazy when you see some of the comments - makes you hope there will be more like this soon.
yea that was pretty cool...
i got the first one!
These were hard for me, but fun! Good job!
i feel soooooo dumb i dint get a single one, but its all gravy it was good!!!
So Reader's Digest is OK? I thought these were suppossed to be original.
Hmmm, I guess I could say something positive like
Miss
Angle
buzz
cupid
Miss

buzz

I thought this one was pretty stupid... I agree with linsy59.Sorry for the bad news!!
sorry ...but i thought this one was

There are MANY words that can be used to express DISLIKE of something.
Personally, I am appalled at the lack of simple, basic manners here.

That was fun, but I couldn't figure out the last one!
This was fun, but I found the Painter one hard. Where I come from, "jolly" and "Dali" don't rhyme!
Very good teaser.
I gave it a 6.
I was disappointed at how easy fishmed's teaser was until I read that it was copied from RD
Apparently I missed this in RD because I don't recall ever seeing it. Nice brain exercise Fish, Thanks for posting.
Good one Fishmed, you stumped me on a couple of them, but it was still good. Readers Digest, don't remember this one, but it was a few years ago. A+,
Creative teaser.
I got six out of 7! w001!
The Painter, Dali one got me...I knew it was Painter, i just didn't think of Dali! >.

I really liked this one.
That was fun, got 'em all, but it took a couple minutes of thinking
The first one and the last one were hardest for me.
Really liked this teaser. Unlike a lot of them that are either way too difficult or way to easy it took some thinking but was still solvable.
I do not care where you got them! They are just good and fun to figure out. They made me chuckle.
I liked this one, too! Fun teaser!
Thanks! Happy end of November, friends!
Thanks! Happy end of November, friends!
Some wonder why I haven't commented lately. I'm so sick of old wornout teasers. The LAZY editors will not put out new material. I would and could submit many great teasers, but I have a RED arrow beside my name for being offensive(like right now), so I have bad karma and I'm not allowed to submit any. So with that said I am out of briangle forever.
I wish all readers a Merry Christmas and to the editor, I hope you receive a lump of coal in your stocking.
To all my special friends ,a final

Sorry you feel this way, doehead. We'll miss you.
Farewell!
Farewell!
Nooooooo! Say it isn't so Doe. You will be missed.
HE works in mysterious ways--(that's literally OMG!!) I was just away for over two weeks visiting family, and if I had not come back last night, I would not have seen doehead's farewell notice and would have wondered what happened to him! Although I didn't always love his negativity, I understand where he's comin' from, and I will miss him. Happy holidays, doehead, and a healthy new year.
Now for what I originally wanted to say about the teaser--I liked it a lot! I liked the attribution to RD. I did not get the candy one, but I got all the others! Perfect level--not easy-peasy by any means, do-able, requiring a little thought--PERFECT!

i wood say something like doehead, but i'd rather not. not sure why
Mad at myself for not persevering through flower~got the rest and had fun doing it. I, also, appreciate the acknowledgment of RD-seems fair.
Still liked this quiz! Thanks for posting.
Got 2-6, wrong guesses are:
painter dolly
kicker whisky
painter dolly
kicker whisky
This was fun. It wasn't too easy, had to think about some of them. Nice of you to credit RD in the answer.
Fun, enjoyable and entertaining teaser; it took awhile but I got them all.
I liked this one a lot. However, I do agree with those who noted that technically jolly and Dali don't rhyme because the accent is on the first syllable in jolly and on the second syllable in Dali.
This was terrific. Really made me think in different ways. I found I had to try to ignore the words written and just focus on the ending sounds. Got 'em all, but they were not obvious. BTW, in my world, Dali and Jolly have always rhymed.
Great teaser, thanks Fishmed!
I got them all but the first; does 'Dali' really rhyme with 'Jolly' in the USA?

Yes, in America Dali is pronounced "Dolly". Glad you liked it.
Wait. People still read the "Reader's Digest"?
Angie-Loo, back when this teaser was created, circa 2005, I'm pretty sure some people were still reading Reader's Digest. I remember seeing copies in the ER waiting room. Note: I just looked it up, and they actually have a website with some interesting looking articles, and yes, you can still subscribe to the magazine.
Fun and entertaining teaser; second time around and I got them all but again it took awhile.
I am glad that you liked it. And, yes, I still get Reader's Digest.
