	It's just spectacular when something challenging and fun to play is also awesomely clever. Great work needapausebutton!

	This is probably the smartest quiz I've seen on Sporcle. Well done!

	Bravo! Fantastic work.

	This was lots of fun ... and harder than I thought it would be! Here are some free suggestions for a possible sequel: "TV stations that show baseball blooper shows" (airers of errors). "Removes a decorative sculpted band from a building" (frees of frieze). "Verne's valuables" (Jewels of Jules). "Hats of some cricket players" (Bowlers of bowlers). "Gets bored at a Michelin store" (Tires of tires). "Baby feeder from a French port city" (Breast of Brest). "Databases of vinyl storage media" (Records of records). "Locks of Tom's hair" (Hanks of Hanks). "Colored paints used by a wealthy recluse" (Hues of Hughes). Wow, it's been almost as much fun to think of these as it was to play the game. Thanks for all the fun!

	That cursors clue is enough to get this quiz five globes.

	Brilliant! Five globes. I'd give it SIX if I could.

	For the "Liver"clue I was looking for "Awful Offal".

	good game, very clever. it's homophone though. homonym means they mean the same thing.

	MMHokie17:	May 31st, 2012 at 14:34 GMT		0 points
	oops I meant they're spelled the same way. sorry. I was thinking of synonym in my last comment.

	Thanks Sporcle for publishing the game, an act I find to be more than kind of kind. And I appreciate the kind remarks left. @TimeAndTide: Special thanks for creating, playing, and commenting on the sequel, you’ve saved all of us lot of work :)

	@MMHokie17: I looked into the homonym vs. homophone issue and I believe a homonym is a word with the same pronunciation and/or spelling, and there by including some of the answers like "little of little" which is technically not a homophone. It seems to be a more encompassing term. Here's the definition I looked at: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homonym?show=0&t=1338478497 I also added another minute on the quiz.

	Great game! I look forward to more like this.

	took a bit to get used to but it was awesome

	WindSword:	May 31st, 2012 at 16:30 GMT		4 points
	I thought "Bits of bits" was something actors have to live with. Indeed, the real clue it matches up with is about acting jobs, too. But other than that trifle, an excellent quiz over all.

	got 10. too hard for me.

	needapausebutton:	May 31st, 2012 at 16:48 GMT		5 points
	@WindSword: FYI, the "bits" referred to drill bits, hence "boring parts" - napb

	From a guy who loves cheesy puns: incredible. 5 globes for you, sir. 5 globes for you.

	It's amazing how many answers come to you when you run out of time.

	After a while, "of" starts to not look like a real word.
