Good one!! I really enjoyed figuring it out!! Nice job!
Nice job, but please pray tell what is a quartermaster?
I got all of them, but I was in the Navy. I was concerned that "Quartermaster" would not be something most people would know.
I loved it, though! Good job!
I loved it, though! Good job!
Fun, and enjoyable!
Well done, loved it!!!!
Yeah the quartermaster through me, but it was a really cool puzzle
i mean 'threw me' haha
I got one...yay.
Good one. But you really have to be awake for it.
I didn't get one of them.
I got them all, I had heard of "quarter-master" on some movies, but still don't know exactly what it is. I thought there coulda been at least three more! Thanks!
More like it for early in the morning.
Nice - got them all. Thanks and keep them coming!!!
good one I got 2 out of 3, not too shabby cos I`ve only been up 19 mins! LOL.
I enjoyed it Fish. BTW, Happy Early Birthday to you!
I didn't get a single one of them... I usually can guess the words, but today's teaser was a toughie for me.
yah , i didn't know any of them . i like these though . i should've waited until later when i felt like thinking !
Nice and easy, but fun Fishmed!!
Maybe next time you could give us a few more to nudge our brains awake?

HoooooooooooEeeeeeeeeeee! I got them all - even the quartermaster!!! I, too, wasn't sure what it meant, but I knew of the word. Thanx for a fun one!!!
I did not get any of them...but it is nice to make me think
I love these kind of teasers! I only got the first one but it's still cool!
i got NONE...but...o well...
You guys are losers, get a life, it's Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
LOL
Good one fishmed. Yes, Happy Valentines Day folks. I only got one but that's ok. It was still fun to try. Let's see. Quartermaster is officer in charge of supplies for army troops or in the navy thw Od officer who syeers the ship and handles signaling equipment. I thought it was the guy in charge of handing out the pay, so I looked it up for all of us - duh I found out the guy I was thinking of was called the "Paymaster"!! How easy, huh! Anyhow there we have it.
awesome vlerma
happy valentine's day to you too and everyone
happy valentine's day to you too and everyone
Great Teaser!
really didn't get any of em. but, oh well
I got them but burned some brain cells doing it. Great fun!!
I never knew there was such thing as a brush fire. Great teaser!!! I love those things, we do them in school!!!
Enjoyable fishmed! I liked this one.
By the way,
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"
By the way,
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"
Excellent!
A RUDIMENTARY EXCURSION INTO THE SEA OF WORDS WHERE BREVITY SANK THE SHIP!
Dont you mean BUSH FIRE
Yeah!! I got them all again. And I do believe brush is proper as it fits with hair as well as fire.
Good one, But much easier this year. I wonder why that is?
not to bad for bieng thrown together at the last minute kinda thing..it was pretty east tho ..
I got one of them. I have never heard of quartermaster.
This is a Superbly Excellant teaser! The main fact is how each one of us applies *what we have learned to everyday life.* And if you have learned this once before, wouldn't the second time around or better, make it that much easier?
Cool, didn't know what a quartermaster was though....
it was hard i couldnt get one of them exept ever green horn lol rofl
I love these but think I must need a nap as I only got one right!
...uhh i feel kinda stoopid now cuz i only got one but i dont need a nap!!
Imurray, you do you have to be so negative
This was a really good teaser, I enjoyed it
This was a really good teaser, I enjoyed it
woops meant "do you" not "you do"
Wow, the first one didn't STAND-OUT to me at all, and apparantly I'm no MASTERMIND either. And how many times as a kid did I sing "Quartermaster's Store?"
*clears throat, and begins to sing*
"There were peas, peas, on cross-country skis,
in the store... in the store...
There were peas, peas, on cross-country skis,
in the Quartermaster's sto-o-ore...
My eyes are dim, I cannot see
I have not brought my specs with me!
I have no-ot brought, my-y specs, with me!"
...but I never knew what a Quartermaster was. Thanks for looking it up, vlerma!

Wow, I got the last two! That's amazing, considering my terrible skills at these types of things.
Glad you liked it!
loved this one!
i used GREASE for #3 do i get credit for that? lol cool quiz though
Good one! Didn't get quarter-master-mind, though!
I see you a lot around the rooms of Braingle, fishmed, so a Teaser of this Calibra is not at all surprising. NO, I didn't get one correct. Actually, I thought Hair Comb. I am always too eager to find out the answer. Great Teaser.
The example word was an easy one, but the other 3 words were hard to figure out. Hair was not too hard, but the rest....
Got all three. It's gonna be a great Friday!
Got two and three with ease, the first one took me a bit. Fun teaser!
Glad you guys liked it. i try to keep some easy, some hard, and many in between. feel free to check out some of my other teasers. thanks for the comments
I like easy, and hard is okay too, but difficult is a little too much for a lot of us and therefore no fun!!
easy and fun!! well done
Not easy, very fun! This one really made me think. It is rewarding when you struggle with a teaser but then find the right answer. Terrific teaser!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
That was fun, thanks!
Fun, entertaining and challenging teaser. It took quite awhile but I got them all.
I am glad that you liked it.
Not bad. I don't have much to say, but when they repeat it next year, I want to see my comment.
