What a great teaser
I liked this teaser alot!! Great job!
great one! i only got #1 but still was fun and hard!
Now that I know how to do them, give me more!!!
cnmne must have done this one! it was great, I liked this one. I got them all. keep emm comin......
A golfer ahoota par, but a golfer is not par.
ahoota=shoots. I can't find the keys on my keyboard.
Very good. Tiger Woods is a golfer. Par is a golf SCORE.
This was a really good one, even if number 3 is the only one I got! Definitely would love to see more of these!
i LIKED this! It wasn't easy, but I wish there had been more. If "par king" is your answer for no.1, then my answer: knight club= nightclub, would also be valid! Couldn't get the last one, but that's a good one. Thanks!
I got "landlock" for the last one. The first one threw me off because 'par' isn't a golfer, but still good.
Hehe, cute.
Fun, fun, fun By the way, all you above commenters, a "Par king" is a royal golfer
Wow---do I feel stupid!
Cowlick IS a compound word.
This was a nice fun, challenging teaser. I only got #2.
Fooled me completely
didn't get this one.........
Hey Aarghonauts, if Elton John played golf would he be a "wee knight (weeknight)"?
Great teaser! I liked it a lot! I only got 'cowlick', but still a great teaser!
WOW!!!! Only got NO. 4 But it was fun trying.Well done
That was nifty! Maybe now that I know how to do it I will get more than one
you gusy are all too positive thinking, i like the teaser but reading these comments makes me want to barf!
GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!
Good one (and I'm not barfing)
This was one of the best of this genre I've seen.
Very well thought but hard
I thought this one was hard....I didnt get a single one...... Good thinking tho!!!
Ah...out of my field Rather clever to do. Keep going!

this was easier than i thought it would be . i got them all . very , very fun!!!
Far thing gave me troubled but really enjoyed this one. Great job.
Got two and three, and part of one... but got "swampland" for the fourth.
Nice teaser. Fun figuring out and even though I got 2 out of 3 because I had to hurry along and did not have the time to study it more, I enjoyed it very much.
Good effort.
Instead of commenting on the teaser today ,I want your feelings. I receceived a note that said I am to negative in my remarks and I should get off briangle.I always give my personal feelings and if the teasers are repeats,I respond with my feelings. I know where to find the new teasers, but the enjoyment of the daily is the comments. Let me hear your thoughts.
In my opinion Doehead, I have never found any of your comments to be negative to the point where they are offensive. As you said, you simply point out that a teaser is a repeat. But I guess part of them recycling older teasers is that most of us don't know they are repeats as we have not been on the site long enough to have seen it before, I mean obviously I can SEE it is a reapeat based on 7 year old comments but have not encountered it before.
I agree though that the repeats shold not be so frequent and I have said myself that they sould purge the site and remove any teasers and/or quizzes that oare over X years old or whose author has not been on the site in a given time frame.
This would not only save room on the server, but cut down on the repeats and make it easier for those of us who write the stuff to come up with quizzes or teasers. I have had several turned down because or repeat questions in teasers and quizzes that are 4,5,6 or even 7 years old. Seems silly to keep cycling through the old ones when there are so many new ones.

I like the teaser by the way even if it was a bit easy. Though I missed #4 because apparently I can't read, I read it as "water bearers" and could not figure it out. Once I saw the answer and reread the question - it all made sense.
Hi Doehead, I am bothered by the fact that someone sent you a message and said that you should get off Braingle. That is very harsh. I sure hope the message was signed and that you can respond directly to him or her.
Your comments always amuse me and if people only knew what a POSITIVE and upbeat and truly enjoyable person you are, they would NEVER suggest you leave Braingle.
BRAINGLE just wouldn't be the same without you! Oh I have to stop - my husband is looking over my shoulder!
This teaser isn't my favorite, and it looks very familiar! The teasers are fun and I do them almost every day, but in the whole scheme of things, it's really a small part of our lives and nothing to get that upset about!
Have a wonderful, happy, sunshiney day, friends! HUGS to all!

Doehead, I always look for your comments. In no way should you feel that you need to get off Braingle. You are a vibrant part of it.
Doehead, I would miss you; don't go anyplace. Maybe the person who sent you the message will go! I'm sure you're not informing us a teaser is a repeat--we can all see that for ourselves! You are saying it to vent (I am the all-time venting champ in other venues), and venting is healthy for you.
As for the teaser, I got parking and farthing; won't go into the analysis of the others.
GW, I lol'd when you said your husband was over your shoulder!
Hope it's beautiful where you all are!

Doehead is merely stating what many of us are thinking when he mentions repeats. I actually don't mind some repeats because it gives me a chance to see if I have any memory left. Unfortunately I don't, so even repeats are new to me.
Hand in there doehead, it wouldn't be the same without you.
By the way, I didn't like this teaser and only got 1 right.

Not my favorite type of teaser, but I thought it was well done! Have a great day everyone and don't forget to vote!
I enjoyed this teaser again.
HABS, your team is more then welcome to visit our WILD arena anytime.

Well, Doehead bit the dust a long time ago, and maybe it is time for me to go also. It seems like all the teasers are old and tired.
First time for me on this teaser and I enjoyed it! Ironically, the only one I got was Farthing! I don't know if I have ever used that word in a sentence...

Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser. I only got two of them and half of each of the other two. I got cow and dam but could not get other half of each of those. I still enjoyed working this teaser.
