WOW good teaser. Stumped me (like most teasers do, but still..... )
I can now report innappropriate comments. But dont worry--I am very happy about this new feature, but I will NEVER overdo this "power"... I will only report ones that are actually innapropriate. Dont worry people!

This one was fun and easy except for the first one --- you stumped me there. Great!
That was really good. I got the answers for all but the first one. I just couldn't come up with a word that fit mouth and meal! When I saw the answer I felt really dumb. Good job!
I LIKED THE LAST ONE THE BEST.

I got the second two right. I thought the first one was "full!" Good one though.
I got all but te first one. But is was good. Keep them coming!
