That one was cute & witty.
That was pretty good!
^^ I GOT IT!!!!

It would have made a lot more sense if the other three said "no comment" or "no answer" ... I didn't understand what the teaser was getting at.
It took me a little while to get this one but I got it! This one was a good one and well thought out!
Very good one.

dont understand the comment above this one but whatever. Anyways, i have just finished my final year of school - and can once again be part of the braingle community. I LOVED IT MrIx, as per usual - i have missed your rebus's during the last six months. Keep them coming....Axton
This one,,, so cute!
Well I get some and some I don't. This one went right over my head. I didn't look at the title or I wouldn't have thought that Herb did it. Needed to figure out "the phrase." Good one
this was soooo cute!!!!
definetley going on my list of favs.

Very well thought out teaser. Thanks.
Enjoyable and fun.
Thanx ix. Keep up the good work.
I love thyme.
Well done...a thinker.
well that is a stich in thyme lol Bob
very nice
I liked this one.Took a lot of thought, and actually made sense.Good JoB!!
This was good, and funny! I didn't try very hard this morning, which, *clear throat*, is quite rare for me...
However, even though I do like it a lot, I agree with the person above that "no comment" or something would have worked better than "...", because that doesn't mean "nothing", and it seems like you're saying the first three said the same thing. But I do think its very clever to use the thyme as time in the parsley sage rosemary thyme group, that was a GREAT idea!

GoOd JoB!!! weLL tHoUgHt OuT!!!
For me, this one was a toughie... when I saw the answer, I thought, "Duh!!" Excellent teaser! I never would have got this one in a million years! (Maybe it's because even though I've heard that phrase before, I personally hardly ever use it.)
Good job -- very well done. I too was thinking of the old song Greensleeves, and when that got in my head I could think of nothing else. So needless to say, I didn't get it Thanks so much and keep them coming.
Very cute, I didn't guess right, but it was cute!
i loved it !!! that was hilarious to me
tee hee
tee hee
THAT was da bomb!! thanks
I got it!!!!!!!!!!!
I got it too!
But first I didn't get it!
But first I didn't get it!
I new it immediately after I read it, and I thought it was very cute. Some teasers are just "thymeless"!
Good job!
Good job!
I didn't get this one, poor me.
It was very clever and fun though!

I loved this Teaser. With the answer right in my face, I was unable to answer correctly. Only thyme will tell. Keep them coming, as long as they're as good as Talking Herbs..... Ha, Ha, Ha.
at 1st i didn't get it but then i read the answer and i did
I didn't like it that well kind of boring would have been better if you had the other herbs saying, "I'm not telling" or something like that it was ok I guess after I got the answer I found it kinda funny...
Great teaser
Cute and witty??? I didn't get it.
-but Thyme has already told
Bravo, cute, cool and clever!
Very clever!! Well written and really made me think for a change!
That was really cute , and I should have got it . It wasnot hard, but I had no clue Enjoyed it ,though
Nice one took a litle bit of time to get though!!
How about "a snitch in thyme"
Thanks for the great teaser I actually got this one.
the teasers direction wasntvery well thought out....i give it a thumbs down..
Good teaser!! I got it but my husband had no clue. He always gets stuff right and usually it is me that has trouble so I am happy.
I really liked this teaser. Great job!!!
I really liked this teaser. Great job!!!
I GIVE IT A THUMBS UP! GOOD JOB!
This one really stumped me! It made me think but I gave up to easily.
Ditto Shawneeo, et. al. but I still thought it was a fun teaser! I jumped a little too quickly and went with "Time is against me" for my answer. Thanks for submitting.
A very entertaining teaser! You did a fantastic job on this one, and only because I have heard this one from a song, have I recorded it in my memory for future use. Keep up the fantastic work! I enjoy teasers of this nature.
Good one. Not sure why it invoked thoughts of "Greensleeves" for some readers, but Simon & Garfunkel would get a huge kick out this if you could email it to them.
I realy liked this -- and I got it right away!
Uh, oh! Really is really spelled really! Sorry for the typo.
I still think its cute and a good teaser.
There should have been more directions. I thought I had to fill in what the other herbs were saying.
Great one, didn't get it. I thought of Simon & Garfunkel too.
wow ths must be good because it was made two years ago and people still love it
Excellent job! Took some thinking, and "spiced-up" my morning.
This was a cute one! Keep em coming!
Would have been clearer if the other herbs (besides thyme) each said "No comment" or "I'm not tellilng" or something like that.
That was cute!!
"whoever did the rhyme did the crime" i thought... it rhymed with thyme so yeah
interesting yet fun... good teaser
Once I got the Simon and Garfunkel song in my head it was all I could think of! Aghhh! Dandy little teaser!
Hasn't this one been on here before? I remember it from somewhere...
Feb 24, 2007
I thought i was suposed to fill in the dots, you shoud really put, I am not saying, or I don't know, not..... which suggests a piece that you have to figure out.
Otherwise, it was a great teaser, but the bigger teaser was finding out what the teaser was.

what does "Who stole the gold" have to do with this teaser? I was confused-as usual.
Very cute! Got it right away!
I'm with breathesunshine .... the song's in my head, and that's all there was room for as I was puzzling over the teaser. I'm also several days behind in the TOTD emails, so I'm just trying to hurry through....
Very cute teaser though! kudos!

Thanks!
Jim
Thanks!

That was cute!
A little on the corny side. I got it, but not my type of teaser.
Did not get it. Very good
Took me a minute...fun and cute!
I thought it was "thyme tells all." close though
Very clever!
I was thinking something to do with "Scarbourough Fair"!

I didn't get it, either. I really liked it, though! Thanks!
*makes a quirky little sort of clicking sound that I do when things are funny, but not funny enough for a laugh* or, more simply, MAQLSOCSTIDWTAFBNFEFAL!
my first Tease, my first day ...I got it!! thanks for the bit-o-fun.
I was on the wrong track - thought it was about going to Scarborough Fair. Thanks for the laugh!
Another S&G fan tricked . . .
lol GW, That was the first thing that popped into my head (and is still there) which is unfortunate, not because I missed the teaser, but because I cannot stand Simon and Garfunkel.
A little corny,but it SPICED up my morning.
Cute!
Good one! Funny! Thanks for posting
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one very quickly.
