I think I just made it into some kind of record book for first comment on all 3 of the same series of teasers! Good ones!
Hope I'm going to see some more of these? Great fun.
Good ones Phrebh, these are really fun!
It is a good one and a fun one, but after a few, I quit as the hour is late and there are a lot of them to do, but thanks for posting and good night.
Four of the last five newest posted teasers have received 0 comments.
Z-E-R-O
One of them received two comments.
Seems we (BB,LBE,BB02,LGM) are winning another wager.
Sad .... so sad ......
But .... we are STILL ... laughing ....

You didn't stay gone a month - you forfeit your win.
Excellent teaser...really had to do some thinking this morning!! Thanks.
Thumbs up to HABS. How do we make the BB family (if there is more than one) disappear for ever?
I got a couple of them pretty quickly, but just didn't have the patience to keep at it.
Thank you, Habsie, for acknowledging the win.
And thank you, doodlie, for complimenting Habsie on acknowledging the win.
We are more than pleased to forfeit the ribbon (minor inconvenience) for there will be other wins.
Who's next?
(the BB clan)

I'm with Babe and auntiesis. Too many to do at one sitting. I got 4 and quit.
Please take comment which are irrelevant to the readers hand to the forum pages. I have asked before and apparently ignored. I liked the teaser and agree, a bit too many for one .
My bad, the teaser at hand...
That was great fun; a lot to solve in one sitting though( it took me a couple of coffee breaks )?
More please, and thanks for posting this lot!
