Tuesday Teaser for May 15, 2007
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 for two 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 1:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 16, 2007, Hawaii time (GMT -10, 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!
