	Consider accepting "final straw" as well?

	Great quiz! I love Rebus puzzles, and its fun to be quizzed on creative thinking instead of trivia.

	The things my brain came up with.....

	After trying every variation of "choosing straws" and "picking straws," it finally dawned on me: of course, STRAW POLL! And... still no.

	Fun! I thought 1,4 could be 'fading fast', although I guess the true answer is a bit more common.

	The capital G in Scrambled Eggs confused me. Because half the letters were capital and the other half small I thought that would effect the answer.

	could you explain why 'face' flipped horizontally would translate to 'about face'?

	Great quiz! I love these kinds of puzzles!

	fw1812:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 05:58 GMT		15 points
	Good quiz, but I think that "face" one is a bit off in its logic. It's a "face" doing an about face, making it "about face face."

	Instead of "hygiene", I put "isolated gene", haha.

	I knew I was missing a really easy one with number 5, but my brain could not stop reading it as "pots stop".

	Should definitely accept 'the final straw'.

	WeaselKing1000:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 07:53 GMT		10 points
	Should accept 'to add insult to injury' as well.

	More, please!

	4-way stop I'm assuming is an American term? I've never heard of it. Also don't get about-face, the rest of them fantastic.

	strags11:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 09:49 GMT		12 points
	@mirador, yeah, 4-Way Stop is an American term for an intersection with a stop sign at each of the four inputs. I still didn't get it -- I guessed "teapots" (T pots) and "stop around", both of which seem fairly reasonable answers.

	jobean82:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 09:51 GMT		17 points
	I was a bit baffled by four-way stop too. Maybe it's the kind of thing where we would have a roundabout...

	singin185:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 10:28 GMT		18 points
	Having the letters gradually get bigger in "breakfast" is unnecessary and misleading.

	ManlyStump:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 10:34 GMT		14 points
	"Four way stop" and "about face" definitely seem to be US-specific. Would "face the other way" not also be a viable answer?

	hibernia:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 11:37 GMT		5 points
	"About face" - yeah, don't see that. "Face backwards" seems more reasonable, right?

	LisaSimpsonOH:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 12:25 GMT		7 points
	I thought 'breakfast' was 'fading fast.' It still looks like it's fading rather than breaking.

	kelsh:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 12:30 GMT		7 points
	I feel strongly that "Tebow" or "Tebowing" (i.e. T- Bow ) should be acceptable for crossbow.
