Two articles, no contractions. Wow, a lot of possibilities for such a little puzzle. :)
[1] same here. The (lack of) contractions threw me.
I missed an article the first time, cost me xtra points.:(

WOW.. got it in 2 min 12 sec and still was #100... tough room.
the lack of contractions slowed me up too.

22nd on hypercross
253 points in one day. Best ever for me.
Normally I don't have an issue with these...but salt anyone?
...12 seconds and were the 87th...
I can't complain about 12 seconds. If I had just been here right at 10...
[3] I doubt it cost you too many points. I think most of us probably tried it without the article and perhaps without the verb too so we were all slowed down by the same basic amount. I suspected they needed to be there since that's the way the phrase goes and you can interpret the pictures with them there but I still tried without them first. I came in a minute or two late and still made 79th.
[6] Where is that red guy?
[7] It is always a good idea to look at everything closely. You know the old saying...

Wow! Talk about having to be specific with each and every word in the phrase. Took me a long time to write it properly...
It surprised me to learn the solution was not "Satan's asshole"
lol alseen
That's some clever cluing Philana - especially the puppies! But I have to agree w/[11] LegendDan - I like his twist on the solution or maybe it's his twisted mind I like. I'm ROTFL :)

Darn the answer. I had the thought much earlier but did not have time to figure out the wording.
Who knew THE could be so important.
I had the right answer (basically) but had to write it like 12 different ways to get it! I should have read the comments sooner. I tried using the contraction... Fail.
