First!
Another excellent Curtail/Beheaded teaser!
Another excellent Curtail/Beheaded teaser!
Excellent. Easy but fun, though I'm not so sure how easy it would have been without the hints.
it was easy without the hints too but fun. Thanks for the new submission Marc
A bit on the easy side, but a new interesting teaser.
Well worth the effort!!! I loved it!
One of my favorites although easy to solve. Thanks for posting.
Agree with pretty much everyone else so far. Definitely a good teaser.
Good one, definitely solvable.
Good one! Couldn't think of skim though.
I needed the hints for #s 1 & 3. Had to think hard on a caouple of the others. I really enjoyed it!
I had trouble with char/m, but the rest were fairly simple. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks.
Very easy, but enjoyable. I didn't need the hints and didn't even notice until after I solved all of them that the title itself is a hint.
i feel like im stupid hearing all those other people get it right
Nice and easy. Good morning to the lady that lives about an hour from Grand Blanc.
I love these but only got half of them right; I wasn't patient enough! Thanks for a good one!

Another great teaser Marc. Got them all, pretty easy but lots of fun.
Gayle - though I know the message was not intended for me and I don't have a clue where "Grand Blanc" is, I do in fact live very close. Grand Blanc translates as "Great White", which is of course how Canada is known - "The Great White North".
*And yes I know it could also be translated as "Big White". (I'm after all Canadian - I speak French)

'twas fun! missed only char/m, and got some rid of some foggy brain!
Had fun thought it was very easy but not that easy that it didn't make my brain work.
Fun! After I saw the hint, it was easy.
Had to come back to number 1 and think about it some more before I figured it out. - Got the rest right off! Really fun teaser!
FUN but........I had to look at the hint to get #'s 4 & 5. Then i figured them out!!
For clue 7, I think "Male pronoun" would be better than "Male person."
Nice ezy, fun, teaser, thanks!
Easy, but still fun. That's rare!
