Tuesday Teaser for July 17, 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.
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 at least 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. Drawing for the gift card will be held on or about July 31, 2007, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are five Tuesdays in July, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is five. That’s probably better than your odds at the poker tables .
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 12:01 a.m. Thursday, July 19, 2007, Hawaii time (GMT -10, approximately forty-eight 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!

belt buckle
latch on a gate
July 17th, 2007 at 7:14 am, skeet Says:
It’s not a waffle iron, Matthias. Guess again!
July 17th, 2007 at 7:15 am, skeet Says:
No Tiffany. I’m not sure what a slider for a seat in a car is, but that’s not the correct answer. Guess again!
July 17th, 2007 at 7:16 am, skeet Says:
It’s not a stove top, C.Whyte. Guess again!
July 17th, 2007 at 7:17 am, skeet Says:
No Anna, not a belt buckle or a latch on a gate. Guess again, but please put each guess in a separate comment!

bed frame
July 17th, 2007 at 7:19 am, Lisa Says:

Sorry, Lisa! Not a chair frame! Guess again?

weight machine?
July 17th, 2007 at 7:57 am, skeet Says:
Sorry Leigh! Good guess, but it’s not a weight machine.
July 17th, 2007 at 8:06 am, Laurie Says:
It kind of looks like the bed of a truck and the things you’d use to tie something down.
July 17th, 2007 at 9:15 am, skeet Says:
No, Laurie, not the tie-down thingies in a truck bed. Try again!
July 17th, 2007 at 9:21 am, Laurie Says:
Hmm… roller coaster seat?
July 17th, 2007 at 9:31 am, skeet Says:
Were you inspired by the post below this one, Laurie? No, not a roller coaster seat. Take another shot at it?
July 17th, 2007 at 9:34 am, Laurie Says:
hehe… maybe?
The lock of a car trunk?
July 17th, 2007 at 9:44 am, skeet Says:
I can see a similarity, Laurie, but no! Not a lock for a car trunk. Keep those creative guesses coming!
July 17th, 2007 at 9:51 am, Laurie Says:
How about a car seat latch? I’m running out of guesses.
July 17th, 2007 at 10:18 am, Chubby Mommy Says:
Yikes! I just about sprained my neck turning my head to see if I could recognize it from some other direction.
I’m going with “trunk latch.”
July 17th, 2007 at 10:18 am, skeet Says:
You’ve got a pretty good creative thought process going Laurie, but it’s not a car seat latch. Maybe you should get all of your friends to take a look and help you out?
July 17th, 2007 at 4:36 pm, Cass Says:
door latch?
July 17th, 2007 at 4:36 pm, Cass Says:

July 17th, 2007 at 4:36 pm, Cass Says:
latch on a microwave?

typewriter? the old fashion sorts?
July 17th, 2007 at 5:22 pm, J.E. Says:
Latch on a lunchbox?
July 17th, 2007 at 5:23 pm, J.E. Says:
Latch on a thermos?
July 17th, 2007 at 6:20 pm, Annie F Says:
That looks like the bottom of a car seat.
July 17th, 2007 at 11:37 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Kate - it’s not a trunk latch. You’ve still got twenty-four hours to figure it out.
July 17th, 2007 at 11:38 pm, skeet Says:
Cass, it’s not a door latch, a dishwasher latch or a microwave latch. Twenty-four hours left. Take another shot at it?
July 17th, 2007 at 11:38 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry, Kitty! Not an old-fashioned typewriter.
July 17th, 2007 at 11:39 pm, skeet Says:
No, J.E. Not a latch on a lunchbox or thermos. There’s still time to figure it out!
July 17th, 2007 at 11:40 pm, skeet Says:
No Annie - it’s not the bottom of a car seat. Guess again?
July 18th, 2007 at 8:32 am, Laurie Says:
I came back because I was dying to see what this thing was! Hubby and I are stumped.
back of golf cart? LOL
July 18th, 2007 at 10:08 am, Vanda Says:
Well heck Skeet what is it. I’m seeing the picture in black/dark to have a guess, even though I got the last one but someone posted the answer before me LOL.
July 18th, 2007 at 10:10 am, Vanda Says:
ONe of those latch thingies that move the car seat forward and back.
July 18th, 2007 at 11:31 am, Leigh Says:
What the heck is it!!
July 18th, 2007 at 3:28 pm, skeet Says:
Not the back of a golf cart, Laurie. About eight and a half hours to go, so maybe betweeen the two of you you can figure ti out!
July 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pm, skeet Says:
You’v egot until midnight Hawaii time to figure it out, Leigh. Don’t you have antoher guess in you?
July 18th, 2007 at 4:07 pm, Laurie Says:
Ugh… killing me! I know I’ve seen it before!
a tool box?
July 18th, 2007 at 4:07 pm, Laurie Says:
a car jack?
July 18th, 2007 at 6:32 pm, skeet Says:
Not a tool box or a car jack, Laurie, and yes, you’ve seen it before!
