kindergarten level? i thought it was quite hard.
well, the four A's part anyway

Yeah but it's IMportant!
I was wondering the same thing, Jimbo....
Now that was sad! How did it possibly get accepted???
Good one, but the White Rabbit said it first.
Not good... "portant" is not a word... Editors wake up!!!
Lame, very lame
that was a good one. I'm tired of all the negative comments here. Every teaser has a number of bad comments. I say, "Get a life". If you don't like it, at least realize that people are trying to amuse you and show some respect instead of being mean.
i didnt realize a rebus had to have correct spelling, if this is the case then it wouldnt be a REBUS boneheads.
i like this one.
i like this one.
I was just gonna write:
hmmmm I dont get the "in very port" part....but voila i re-read it and BAM the word "very" is in the middle of "in" and "port"....
so its a " very inportant date...".except for the n instead of m part....I loved it..
thanks for letting me think out loud...... my brain is still snoring this early...

it was cute. i enjoyed figuring it out...
ignore the negative ninny's...if people don't like ia teaser they should explain why without being mean. there are LOTS of jerks out there!!!

EVERY CHILD 8 OR OLDER, SOME MUCH YOUNGER, KNOWS THIS ONE. LIKE THE MAN SAID, THE WHITE RABBIT SAID IT FIRST.
~I'M LATE I'M LATE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE~
HARDLY WORTH BEING THE TEASER OF THE DAY.

I thought it was cute. Yes, it was easy, but still cute. Remember, boys and girls, mem and women of all ages enjoy this site. What is easy for me may be hard for someone else. I say, keep em coming Brangle.
To pengzoid, you're the bonehead for missing the whole point. A rebus doesn't need to "have correct spelling", but it is supposed to sound the answer out phonetically, and "in" and "im" are definitely different sounds.
I figured it out in 30 seconds
I enjoyed it! It's one of the very few in the rebus category that I've gotten...If that means it was easy...doesn't matter. It was fun.
...very easy...
I liked it. I'd like to think the "in" and "im" is a little poetic license we allow with rebus teasers. Nicely done!
inportant was not important it was wrong
I thought it was a good teaser.....easy but good. As for all the people who are giving you a hard time......don't worry about them.....they are "jerks" with nothing better to do than give other people a hard time. If they are so smart, let them come up with something better. You did a good job, and don't let anyone tell you any different
Love it! Please, Please, Please do more. Your teasers are WAY better than mine!
it was pretty easy but cool.
I thought the use of the word IN was to show that very was IN por-tant. Would imporverytant have worked better for you negative naysayers? Probably not, you would have found something else to crab about. I say good effort , keep giving us more.
don't worry about those negative attitudes, you did just fine and it was fun. maybe some day you guys and gals with the negative comments will actually write a teaser or a quizand then we'll all see how smart you really are
Pretty fun, but I said "Hard" because it was so faulty -- IMportant AND it's 4 As not 4 A????
WOW, the snobs have crawled out of the woodwork today. Didn't your mamas teach you to not say anything if you don't have something nice to say? Here's a thought: You don't look witty by giving negative comments. Why don't you instead impress us by submitting your own pulitzer prize winning teaser. Oh, you don't have one? Oh, thats what I thought. . .Oh well. . .
I lkied it, but didn't get it. How does having the letter P in there help? That TOTALLY confused me.
liked it, not too hard but had to think a little on very being "in" por and tant.
How can A A A A be for?!?!
This is just crazy! While there are other great teasers out there, this text one gets accepted to be the teaser of the day?!?! I bet there was a glitch in the system!!!

i thought it was good
That was so fun. I got in right finally. I kew one would come along that I knew. Thanks for the post.

its funny but kinda lame
and also very clever
I enjoyed that. Actually got it too; a lot of rebuses have "well known" phrases which I've never heard of...
brilliant
cool
One of the few teasers I actually figured out. I thought it was pretty fun. For some people it was too easy because they LOOOOOVE coming on here and attempting to brag about how fast they can solve the more difficult teasers. Ok we understand you are SOOOO INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT but if you are in so much need of validation why don't you get it from your mother?
i actually liked it and i do think it was worth being the teaser of the day.
and all you negative ninnies out there, if you don't like something you can express urself without being mean. or u can simply not post!

I didnt get it , but then again im kinda dum
It was fun. Thanks
That was okay. I like rebuses, and found this one to be a quite easy. I would have to agree with some of the others about the "in" port ant, but other than that, I liked it.
that was lame
Whoa! I'm afraid to comment almost after all I've read so far.
I noticed it said inportant, but I enjoyed solving it anyway.
We are not all geniuses and obviously we are not all nice
Thanks for the Rebus

Inportant? Being a grammar and spelling freak, this is not acceptable! It's inportant that you spell everything right. (See what I mean? That's just clumsy.)
Not trying to be mean here or anything, but come on! Inportant?
Hmmm...sorry to sound negative, but it wasn't very good.

Cute. I liked it.
lmurray, if you're such an expert at criticizing teasers, why don't you try making some of your own?

Way, way, way way way too easy. I literally glanced at it for a second before understanding what it said, and _then_ I actually pondered it for a moment. Pathetically easy.
that reminds me i am l8 for something for a doctors appointment
I thought it was fun to solve, and the answer was able to be obtained from the clues. That makes it a good teaser! I think poetic license is the best way to describe it, because if you'll notice, "important" was spelled correctly in the solution. Cheers!
Easy but enjoyable almost as good as the vanity license plate ML8 ML8 that tells you the model and color car it was on. Yes it was a real plate on a German car.
that was a fun teaser, I got the "late for a" and the "date" but couldn't figure out between the sentence
I love rebuses and ciphers, they're fun

Nice one
YAWN
It was cute, but you can only take poetic license so far before your license should be taken away. This was right on the borderline, but it was very imaginative!
As for the negative comments . . . not every teaser is perfect, and there can't only be nice comments the same way not everybody will like every teaser. It's a fact of human nature.
However, with that said, I don't think it's too much to ask to be constructive; say your negative comments in terms that are not rude but helpful.

Still a good one.
I thought it was easy but fun! I love these! Good job!
CUTE thanks...
I only got 'Late for a... date." Good teaser, though it could do with a better explanation at the bottom (it took a few seconds to figure out how the rebus worked after viewing the answer).
I got that one for a change. I liked it with or without the correct spelling. I knew what was meant. Those that did not made themselves feel better by complaining. It is the way of the world. Well, the people in the world, that is
I got that one too! Thanks for posting!
This one was so weak that even jazz put it down. I know the editors can do better.
I like Crazy10's comments - constructive criticism can be helpful only if presented in a friendly manner. - Personally, I liked this teaser! I noted, right away, "Late for a very date" and filled in the rest quickly since it is a well-known phrase. Remembering that it IS a REBUS, I think it is great the way it is!
Fun teaser! Whenever I see someone criticize the teasers I wonder how the rest of their day went. Stop all the complaining, please!
I concur with gaylewolf...
This was fun, easy and well done

It doesn't happen to me often, but I don't get it.
Well this doesn't happen very often, I actually figured one of these out!!
Zykezex (and others who may not get it):
L8AAAAPORVERYTANTD8
L8 = late
AAAA = 4 A (for a)
PORveryTANT = "very" in "portant" (very important)
D8 = date
Hope this helps. As others have said, ignore the naysayers. I think some people just like to feel higher than others by being condescending, but this was a very fun and good teaser. Well done!

Definitely junior level, even then spelling is IMportant!
Were the editors out to lunch?

great teaser, but I like rebi or rebuses. They are phonetic . just read them outloud. That's the fun of them. GJ
I enjoyed this one, even with its inperfections. The long phrase fully rebused out was inpressive. And we all enjoy good cultural references like Alice in Wonderland.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got this one very quickly but enjoyed the challenge.
