Tell All Wednesday

Posted on by

Hi Everyone!   Clowie and Company say GO FOR IT so we’re GOING FOR IT!

Class is officially underway.    It’s the day we find out who gets what when it comes to yesterday’s Teaser Challenge.     While we didn’t fool everyone it was still a doozy of a photo wasn’t it.

IT was a little spooky – even spookier when we noticed there were PEOPLE in the photo!

Well let’s not prolong the agony.   I’m sure everyone wants to know WHERE the photo was taken but more importantly WHO GUESSED IT FIRST and WHO COMMENTED FIRST.

ANNOUNCING OUR FIRST COMMENTERS – DRUMROLL PLEASE!

SHARON, INGRID and TIMMY

Yippeeeee!!!   Concatulations!!!  For you:

I was one of THREE FIRST COMMENTERS on the Teaser post of March 23, 2021!

Congratulations you three early birds…………..you caught the worm!

Next we waited to see who would be first to figure out the rather puzzling TEASER photo we had shown you.     Here it is again:

It was a puzzle alright and apparently when some of you noticed that there were PEOPLE in among these structures, you really had to figure this mystery out.     Where is this?   It is inside the Niaca Mines in Chihuahua, Mexico.   Those THINGS are selenite crystals – the largest in the world.    In fact this is known as the “Cave of Crystals”.    It’s a really interesting story how it was found and what the conditions were, etc.    You can CLICK HERE for some more information but there are a lot of links online to information from various sources.

Now – WHO figured this out first?     That’s a bit complicated to answer.    We had THREE people who guessed it first – however only one of them guessed the whole thing – city/country as required by the rules.    The first person to guess it was Timmy but he forgot to say the city/town………….then Katty and the Weims who guessed right but forgot to mention the country………then along came Ingrid who got the whole thing.    We’re awarding all three the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER.    Why?   Because we can.   HAHAHA

FOR YOU RIGHT GUESSERS:

I was one of THREE RIGHT GUESSERS on the Teaser post of March 23, 2021!!!

Did you guess it right too????????????????????   The WHOLE answer?   Town/City and Country????????????   Then you get one of these:

I guessed the Teaser of March 23,2021 correctly but I wasn’t FIRST…….boo hoo

Did you guess but were WRONG?    We’ve got a badge for that!

I was WRONG with my guess on the Teaser of March 23, 2021 but I still got a COOOOOOOL badge!

PHOOOEY and POOOOOEY – we’ll try again next week though!

 

Yes – always  keep trying gang…………sooner or later you’re bound to win a badge of some kind!    Let’s see if the CHEER TEAM, followed by LUNCH will cheer you up some.   You can always have a good lunch to calm you down.    Miss Dingleberry got her hair done this week so there’s always that to cheer you up.    Well – maybe it will cheer you up or maybe it won’t – but at least she’s making an effort to get out from under the hairnet once in a while!   Although even we Professors think it’s not her BEST look.

Bravo class you all did good
Smartest students in the neighborhood!
FIRSTIES to comment – we had three
Sharon, Ingrid and Timmy got badges for free!
Then we had a situation that caused confusion
But no fight insued -nobody got a contusion!
Two sort of right guessers and a third after them
So we gave them all badges – two HERS and a HIM
Ingrid, Katty and Timmy were the three winners this week
Make sure and give them hugs or perhaps a cheek tweak!!!

Thanks ladies!   Now let’s head to the cafeteria shall we?   

“Hello students.   Ready to eat lunch?   Good – we’ve got great choices today!”

Today’s Menu:

See you all next week!   Good job in class today students!

Welcome back gang!  Time for us to TELL ALL.

Clowie and company have cleared us yet again as SAFE to proceed – these daily checks they do of the grounds keeps all of us feeling safe and secure and we sure appreciate their effort on our behalf!

Yesterday’s photo was quite unusual and we will tell you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about it shortly.    I bet you’re anxious to hear the scoop!

“I’m excited – I was here super early and I bet I was one of the FIRSTIES!!”

Well, don’t hold your breath on that Shirley………………..we had a big pileup at the front door yesterday when school was open and LOTS of clamoring to comment was taking place – you MAY have been one of them but we’re about to find out!

Let’s begin with our list of FIRST COMMENTERS………………..we had THREE……………

YESTERDAY’S FIRST COMMENTERS WERE:

TIMMY, INGRID and JACKIE !

“WOOOOO HOOOOOO FOR OUR THREE FIRSTIES!!!!”

Each of you gets a badge!

I was one of THREE First Commenters on the Teaser post of February 2, 2021! YAY FOR US!

Now let’s move on to who was our FIRST RIGHT GUESSER!

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST RIGHT GUESSER:

TIMMY (who was also a First Commenter!)

Not only was I a FIRST COMMENTER but I was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER TOO on the Teaser of February 2, 2021. I’m so excited, I feel faint…..haha

Double congrats Timmy!

And here’s the photo that he guessed first – sent in by our super good friend and fellow student/Guest Teaser Miss Csilla!

The beautiful Secession Hall in Vienna, Austria!

If you would like to learn more about this beautiful building AND see more photos, just CLICK HERE.    Thanks for this link AND for the photo Csilla!   This badge below is for YOU with our thanks!

My photo was used for the Teaser Class on February 2, 2021 !

If you also guessed correctly but you were NOT the first one to get it right – you still get a badge……….this one:

I guessed the right place for the Teaser of February 2, 2021 but I wasn’t FIRST. Maybe next week I can beat everyone?

AND if you guessed but were WRONG – this one is for you:

Well I tried to guess the Teaser of February 2, 2021 but couldn’t get it right…..I’ll just have to study harder!

I’m sure the Cheer Team has worked up an appropriate cheer for all of you today – so let’s see what they’ve got to say!

Vienna Austria I bet it’s cold there
I wonder if like us they get icicles in their hair?
Anyway we had three students who commented FIRST
The rest of you were late so I guess you’re cursed!
Timmy, Ingrid and Jackie knocked it out of the park!
They were fast to check in and made the mark!
Then we waited to see who would get First Right
Timmy surprised us with a double win – outtasight!
We’ll be back next week for more Teaser fun
But the lunch bell is ringing so we’ve gotta run!

Thanks ladies…………………I guess we’ve gotta run too…………….time to make our tummies happy.    Also before we go, CONGRATULATIONS to all our winners and THANKS to all of you Teaser fans who come visit us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to learn about all the fascinating places in the world there are to visit!

Hello Students!  Enjoy your lunch today!

What’s for Lunch:

Teaser Tell All Class

Posted on by

Good morning class!   Ready to start?   Good!   Clowie says we’re all secure so let’s go.

Yesterday we had a pretty good Teaser photo from our Graphics Department especially considering her “infirmities” just now recovering from surgery.    She found us a photo that took a bit of time to figure out.    And we only had ONE First Commenter so Suzie and company were quite happy to be able to come up with a fairly easy CHEER.    But let’s not get ahead of ourselves – let’s talk FIRST COMMENTER!

“I’m wide awake and ready to hear who was FIRST!”

Let’s have a drumroll please………………………….

YESTERDAY’S FIRST COMMENTER WAS:

TIMMY!!!!!

WAY TO GO TIMMY – especially since it’s been a while since last class.   Here’s your badge!

I was the ONE AND ONLY First Commenter on the Teaser of January 26, 2021! YAY FOR ME!

“That Timmy guy wins all the time…..OK – so I’m a little jealous!!”

Then we had to wait and see how long it would be before someone figured out the Teaser photo and where it had been taken……………….we had a bunch of super good guesses………..it was one of those shots that could have been in MANY places around the world but only one was the RIGHT ONE!     Here’s the photo:

What a beautiful spot.  You wouldn’t want to be half asleep to go out to get the newspaper though or you might fall into the canal.    WHOOPS!  

This s a photo taken in BRUGES, BELGIUM.   A most scenic and picturesque town.   WHO GUESSED IT FIRST??

Our FIRST RIGHT GUESSER WAS: 

       INGRID!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO FOR MISS INGRID!  And here’s your badge:

I was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER of the Teaser on January 26, 2021! Yep – I’m SHARP AS A TACK!

If you also guessed Bruges then you ALSO get a RIGHT GUESSER badge…………………………………….please take one if you were able to guess this one:

I guessed the Teaser right on January 26, 2021 but I was NOT the First to be right! Phooooooey!

Then of course we have badges for those of you who guessed WRONG on the Teaser………………you tried and that’s the important part right?  Right!

PHOOEY! I was wrong with my Teaser guess on January 26, 2021 but at least I still got a badge!

 

Cheer Team?   You’re on!!

First class back and see how well you did?
Timmy was First Commenter he’s quite the kid!
Then before you knew it someone got it right
Ingrid to the rescue with all her might!
The rest of you aren’t warmed up yet after our short school break
But I bet you’ll feel much better after a good cafeteria lunch you take!!

OK gang – congratulations on getting back in the groove at school and we’ll be seeing you next week as long as our Graphics Department hangs in there!     Now – LET’S GO EAT!

TIME FOR LUNCH STUDENTS!   COME AND GET IT!

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK FOR MORE FUN AND GAMES AT DING DONG SHEEP SCHOOL!!!!

“We’re Ready to Rock – Clowie says we’re all secure so let’s do this!”

Good Morning Students! Today’s the day we let you know who did what on the Teaser yesterday.    We’ll start with who was the first to comment yesterday shall we?

Announcing the One and Only FIRST COMMENTER:

TIMMY!

WOO HOO TIMMY!!!!!!   

Your badge is ready for you:

I was the one and only FIRST COMMENTER on the Teaser post of Nov. 10, 2020!!!!

“I’m feeling my cranky coming on….or do I just need a diaper change???”

Well, let’s move on………………….shall we?     The Teaser photo we had was from our Mom Graphics Department and it was not only a COLD photo but it fooled most people for a few minutes (!) after Teaser went live.   In other words, the person who won got it pretty darn quickly!

Here’s the photo:

We think it looks ICY COLD here too!   Where is this?

Hurry up – I wanna know!

This is the very old section of the village of Zermatt, Switzerland called “HINTERDORF”…………….don’t you just love the architecture.    You can see a peek of “modern” on the left but this old part of town is fascinating.    Want to learn more about it?    CLICK HERE.

WHO GUESSED IT FIRST???????????????????

Drumroll please for the announcement!!!

I’m so excited…….even though I didn’t even guess I’m still excited!

INGRID!!!!!

That’s right – Miss Ingrid guessed it right FIRST……….

Congratulations!  Here’s your Badge:

I was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER on the Teaser of November 10, 2020. WOO HOO!

And if you also guessed correctly – you get a badge too!

Well I was right with my guess on the Teaser of Nov. 10, 2020 but I was NOT FIRST!

Then there were those of you who guessed but were WRONG………..you deserve something for your willingness to guess even if it was WRONG!    Here’s a badge for you:

Well I guessed but was WRONG on the Teaser of Nov. 10, 2020. I’ll do better next week – yep!

WOW – I forget how big this class is sometimes……

Well we all tried – there’s always next week right Professors???

That’s right Truman!   It could be YOU next week!

Cheer Team?  You’re ON!

It’s just a little nippy out
So we dressed warmly for our cheer and shout!
One FIRST COMMENTER is all we had
Timmy got there early thanks to his Dad!
Then it was just a matter of waiting
For a smarty pants student so we could stop anticipating!
Ingrid got to class and guessed right away
She got it quickly it was her lucky day!
We bet next week’s Teaser will be more tough
Then we’ll see who’s got the “right stuff” !!!!

Thanks girls……………….well done.    I’m sure Timmy and Ingrid appreciate your effort on their behalf.     The School Trainer asked us to tell you that your hot tub has been cleaned and filled with fresh water in your dressing room so you can warm up there!

Now who’s up for lunch??????    

Cool!   Let’s go!

Howdy students!  We’re all set for you here in the cafeteria – just grab a tray and come on down the line!

What’s For Lunch?

ENJOY YOUR LUNCH THEN HOP ON BOARD THE BUS FOR HOME!   SEE YOU NEXT WEEK STUDENTS!

Your Professors, Angel Sam and Teddy too
