I actually got all of them!! YAY me!! Nice job! Keep 'em coming!!
okay, I still am not understanding this puzzle!
got a few right.
nice and pretty easy, except I didn't get the pigeon one right.
Arch way tripped me up, otherwise the rest of them were pretty easy.
I liked this one!!
Nice one!
nice one enven if it only took 30 seconds.... makes me feel REALLY smart! thnx!
septin I cain't speelll
No wonder I felt stumped, I assumed the insert needed to help form two complete words, not just compound words or sayings (like Dill Pickle). Poor instructions
Very good. I did not get them all, but it was a good teaser and nothing wrong with the instructions.
It was a fun one to do!!
It was a fun one to do!!
Fun & easy, the four I got took about 30 seconds total, but I couldn't come up with bread box!
I have to question # 2 because a place where trucks stop to get their weight taken before entering certain roadways is called a "weigh station". I never heard of a " way" station. Can someone enlighten me as to what a way station is? Otherwise a good teaser.
I was thinking the same thing at first, then I remembered the other version. Here you go Babe: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/way_station
Hey, folks .... give it up.
(I thought we would post early, here, and get ahead of the hysteria)
We (all of us schizoid, paranoid, evil "bunnies") have already conceded victory to you.
If you don't care about the future of Braingle, then we shall hassle you about it no longer.
We really wanted to toss out another "boo-hoo" to Habsie and her "two-weeks" (see yesterday's TOTD) ... but we were all laughing so hard we couldn't get three sets of fingers properly placed on the keyboard.
As a last "gasp" ... we have another metric for you.
Maybe this is all about not being able to publish teasers???
Hmmmmm ??
We noticed that all of you who divert attention (away from Braingle's problems) upon us seem to be unable to publish anything?
We have (collectively, in our multi-personality modes) ... published 84.
Yes ... that's as in .........
E-I-G-H-T-Y F-O-U-R .....
see y'all later ... hopefully before Braingle crashes & burns.
We've got solutions for that though. Ask Habsie.
She's got our PM on it.

Thanks for the link elentir. I, like you and Babe, was also thinking it should be weigh station.
Me too. Way station? Going to the link now.
a way station is a place where travelers can stop and rest
as in " by the wayside"?
This was fun. But I think "field" works for "Corn _ _ _ _ _ Box" Field box like at the ballgame
On February 17 2018 I will turn 95. The nicest present I could receive would be for more people to start using this site and for all of you who do use it, to invite your friends to start. Would it not be nice to have it come alive again. It is such a good thing and you can also learn something from it.
Thanks for letting me have a say!
Babe

I got 2, 3 and 5.
This was fun, I got them all except bread. I should have had a cup of coffee to get some patience this early.
Happy early Birthday Babe, you don't sound a day over 29! I post Braingle to Facebook at least once a month to try for new members.

An early Happy Birthday to Babe!
At first, I discounted this puzzle a bit because I flew through 4 of the so easily, then I got stuck on Bread.
I see other comments who found 4 easy, but got stuck on other clues than me.
What that tells me is the puzzle is almost perfect!
It's fun and fairly easy, but there will be that one clue that makes you slap your head when you read the answer. Really well done.
I'll see if I can come up with a new teaser for Babe before her birthday. I'll stay away from my math based puzzles. Maybe a nice riddle..., I'll try.

Enjoyed this fairly easy teaser and got 4 out of five correct.
BABE--- RIP- You was the best thing about Briangle
I got stuck on corn bread( took me a while to solve, as it is not an Aussie thing )?
It was fun though, thanks!
