Tuesday Teaser Contest
Can you identify the item depicted above? Take your best guess and post it in the comments below. If your guess wins, you’ll win a nifty prize. Here’s how it works:
1. Write a comment giving your guess as to what the item is.
2. First person to identify the item wins.
3. The author of this blog will be the sole judge as to what constitutes a correct answer.
4. If no winner is declared, the prize will be added to a jackpot that will carry over to the next contest.
What will you win?
1. The author of this blog will write a LINKY LOVE POST (review) about the winner’s blog. The LLP will contain the url for your blog plus two deep links and will be posted here on Skeet’s Stuff, a PR4 blog. Skeet writes good reviews. 
2. The winner’s name will be entered into a drawing for a $10.00 gift card from Starbucks or Amazon.
3. If no winner is declared, entries for the drawing will accumulate. Thus, if there is no winner this week but there is a winner next week, that person will have their name entered in the drawing twice and will get two Linky Love Posts. If there is no winner the first and second weeks, the jackpot the third week will win three entries in the drawing and three LLPs and so on. The LLPs may be for the same blog or for different blogs by the winner. If you win an accumulated jackpot and want the LLPs to be for a single blog, they will be spaced two to three weeks apart. If you win a single LLP it will appear within three days.
4. Drawing for the gift card will be held on May 31, 2007, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four. That’s pretty good odds.
Other stuff
1. All comments to this blog are time and date stamped. The winner will be the first person (according to time and date stamp) to provide the correct answer.
2. No hints will be given.
3. Answers must specifically identify the item. For instance, if the item depicted were to be a button on a remote control, the answer “button on something electronic” would not suffice.
4. Decisions of the judge are final. Don’t argue with me. I won’t answer.
5. I will attempt to post every few hours as to whether or not a winner has been declared, but I am not continuously at the keyboard so please be patient.
6. Entries must be posted before 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 10, 2007, approximately twenty-four hours from now.
7. This is intended to be an ongoing feature at Skeet’s Stuff. If it turns out to be a dud it will cease to exist, but all qualified winners will get their prizes.
8. Skeet’s Stuff is a do-follow blog, so you get some link value just for commenting.
9. Let the fun begin!

A pipe with a flow valve.

My first thought was “it’s the foot that holds down the fabric while sewing on a sewing machine!” I’m pretty sure that’s wrong, though, as it really doesn’t look quite like that now that I think about it. That’s the only guess I have, though, honestly…
May 8th, 2007 at 12:10 pm, Bill Blunt Says:
I’m guessing it’s a juicer (the old fashioned, manual sort)!
Best wishes
Bill

May 8th, 2007 at 2:22 pm, Lisa Says:
Oh, I love these things! I miss it from the back of my boys’ World Magazines!!
*scratches chin*
Thinking, thinking, thinking…
How many guesses do we get?
May 8th, 2007 at 2:42 pm, Lisa Says:
Ok, I’m gonna guess … a cane!
May 8th, 2007 at 2:46 pm, skeet Says:
LOL! Not a cane, Lisa. I first saw this type of puzzle in Games Magazine many years ago. They called them Eyeball Benders.
May 8th, 2007 at 2:49 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry your comment got stuck in moderation, Kim. No, not a vacuum cleaner head.
May 8th, 2007 at 3:12 pm, Kim Says:

May 8th, 2007 at 4:58 pm, Karen Says:

Got tagged by Kim for a meme, and before I began, I thought to check out who else was tagged. Great to find another Hawaii blogger!
Ok…contest: I’ve had my magnifying class up to the computer so hard, I think one eyeball fell out…oh, there it is…ok…..wild ‘n crazy guess: an antique paper cutter!
May 8th, 2007 at 5:20 pm, skeet Says:
I’ll take a shot at it, Kim!
May 8th, 2007 at 5:46 pm, skeet Says:
Just visited a couple of your many blogs, Kuanyin. Nice, nice stuff! I’ve never been to Maui. Maybe some day!
No, not an antique paper cutter. (Sorry about the typo in your name when I first did this! Stupid fingers!)
May 8th, 2007 at 6:12 pm, skeet Says:
No, Karen, not a cooler latch.
May 8th, 2007 at 7:17 pm, Tammie Says:
I’m thinking it might be … a single tooth from a metal zipper?
May 8th, 2007 at 7:42 pm, Kitty Says:
It looks like the latch thing you find on dogs leads and the like where you push in the thingummy to attach it to the collar.
May 8th, 2007 at 8:43 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Tammie! Not a zipper tooth. Come see the winner!
May 8th, 2007 at 8:44 pm, skeet Says:
Congratulations Kitty! It is indeed a thingummy latch thing on a dog’s lead, otherwise known as a swivel bolt snap. See next post above.
May 8th, 2007 at 9:32 pm, Kitty Says:
Yay for me!
May 8th, 2007 at 11:28 pm, Enthral Says:
Aw man! I missed out. I hope you do this again!
May 9th, 2007 at 1:17 am, skeet Says:
I plan to, Enthral! Hope you’ll come back next Tuesday and take another shot at it!
May 9th, 2007 at 4:35 pm, Karen Says:
WTG Kitty! I was stumped on this one! Be sure to announce this next week in the forums, Skeet. It is a fun thing to do!
May 10th, 2007 at 5:10 pm, skeet Says:
I’m hoping to make it a regular Tuesday feature, Karen, and will announce it each week when I get it up. Mahalo for your support!
