Puzzle 42
Here are the rules:
1. You may only guess one letter at a time.
2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.
3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.
4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.
5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.
6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to my email, [email protected]
DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.
7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.
8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.
And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

The puzzle letters have now been corrected.

Ok...I submitted my answer, Fuzzy....we'll see what happens.

The correct answer was guessed at 9:55 pm by Karen: http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
"I once decided not to date a girl because she wasn't excited to meet my dog.
I mean, this was like not wanting to meet my mother."
She would like to pass along hosting of the next puzzle to the person with the next highest points, and who happened to submit the correct answer a little over an hour after Karen. So the hosting of the next puzzle goes to Logan.
This phrase gave me a hint of how hard hosting these puzzles can be, so I will be more prepared if I get another chance.
To help out future puzzle hosts, if would be a little helpful to include your screen name with the guess.
