I didn't really understand the title. Then again, I'm sort of tired right now, so I'm probably not thinking straight.
Wow, i really liked that. After seeing the answer it took me a minute to connect those last two lines, but then it clicked. Great job! Is the number in the title an average number of blinks or something?
Sorry maybe the title's too pop culture!
BLINK 182 is the name of a band.
BLINK 182 is the name of a band.
haha i thought that number sounded familiar.
Very cute -- I didn't get it but once seeing the answer, and your explanation of the title it's like "doh"... of course!!!
WOW! Job well done on this one. I enjoyed it. I thought it was well written! Fun and not to easy. Hope to see more from you
Title kinda gave it away, but nicely done anyway.
i thought that it was boring and maby im just dumb but it didnt make sense to me anyway it still was okay but i just dont get it
I liked this one, it was a good idea. Keep it up!
Very clever...job well done!!
Oddly enough I got this one! Nice job!! I also know who Blink 182 is And I'm old!!!
I needed the hint to solve it, but trhen i thought 'I-182... and then it just came to me. Nicely done, keep it up!
At first it was kind of boring but if you started guessing and you got the correct answer, it's fun!
aarrgh! and i love that band, too!
Nice little riddle packed in a very small space .. and a witty title to boot! Great job and Happy TOD!
Huh? Who? What? When? Where? Whats the 411?
A really great teazer! Keep up the good work
OK, would one of you geniuses please explain what the last two lines about mylast four a connected series but my last three seen on paper? There should be an explanation in the answer when its something like this, whatever this is...
But I'm always respectful of the time and effort to make up a teaser, so thanks!

The last four letters of the word "blink" are L-I-N-K (link), a connector. You often find ink (the last three letters of the word) on paper.
Great teaser! I got it from the hint and the title. Clever!

Man you lost me maybe ageneration gap EYE never seen one like that before
lol very funny bobbet ... it was ok ... i thought eyelash it cleans and protects close ... but i was wrong .........
now that SHAWNEEO explained it I understand but the whole thing was kind of confusing. Thanks Shawneeo for the explanation
Sorry I mean TRACEY above
cute
Oh man, that was good! Stumped me, even after I saw the answer. I was like, "what?" and then i saw ink and link. That's what got me in the teaser too... I was like, "four last what?" Yeah, stumped me! But VERY nice!!
Ditto.
hmm, i dont get it even after the explanation,
how do you post a teaser???
I have a teaser, and would like to post it. I dont know if its been done yet though.

that was great!! and the title was great too!!
i think that you need more concrete clues.
The hint gave it away.
I loved it!. Didn't get the right answer, looked at the hint and also thought eyelash, you know lash and ash, burned paper. I missed the title, darn it because had I looked at it even this oldie would have realized it was Blink. A late HB to a great teaser submitter. I agree, short, sweet and to the point. More pleeaassee!
Verrrrrrrrrrrry clever, SMEK. Because I don't know of that band, I don't think that I would ever have gotten it ... ... but it was cleverly written, and now I've learned something. Thanx!
LOVE the title =D
very clever..
I got it, the title really gave it away. The only thing I was wary about was the 293. SMEK, can you explain what it is. I too, thought eyelash, although glancing at the title I quickly figured it out. It was a really great teaser, SMEK!!!!!!!!!! I am familiar with that band too, and like it (as far as listening to it once a month goes). Very clever, very clever. I must ask, but where do all your ingenious teasers come from (not that I like all of them, but merely see a bunch of your teasers once in a while).
i didnt get it once i saw it i thought i was the most stupid person in the world
I like those kind...think of more!!
I agree with shawnee!
No disrespect to smek. I'm a little off kilter on this

Read Tracy2209, florida girl and you'll get it. I didn't at first either but she explains it well. Thx Tracy2209!
Great teaser! Love it.
Very good! I knew what the last two lines meant right away, once I saw the clue, I knew the answer. Good job!
Oooooooooh NOW I get the title...very clever! Great teaser and keep 'em coming!
I don't think this made a whole lot sense...I'll get it after I click "Add Comment", yeah?
Why did I have to skip the title THIS time? It was all right there. Nice one.
Was not able to solve this one. It was a great teaser/riddle. Congrats, smek, you did well. Unfamiliar with the band, although I did subtract, just had no idea what it would have meant. Also, thought "eyelash". Just call me cornfused. Thanks, Mona
I have went over this several times and i still don't get it i guess you have to be a blink 182 fan to get it, i got that from the other comments.
very clever, written very well.
I like Blink 182 but still didn't get it! Shoulda looked at the title a second time! Great job!
