Tuesday Teaser for August 28, 2007
Can you identify the item depicted above? It’s not rocket science and you don’t need high risk life insurance to enter this contest. Just 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 Augist 31, 2007, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in August, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four.
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 2:30 a.m. Thursday, August 30, 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!

August 28th, 2007 at 8:08 am, skeet Says:
Welcome ot the madness, Robyn! Not a table top. Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 8:12 am, skeet Says:
Not a leaf, Leigh. Guess again?:)
I need an embarrassed icon. Um, yes, I got it. It’s here somewhere … in the clutter. Um - now that I remember that it’s here somewhere I’ll look for it and drop you a line.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:13 am, skeet Says:
Sorry Paul. Not a bench. Take another shot at it!

A Christmas tree stand
August 28th, 2007 at 8:41 am, skeet Says:
Em, knowing my constant battle with clutter, do you think it’s remotely possible I could find my Christmas tree stand in August? Imaginative guess, but not correct. Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 8:45 am, Marius Says:
It’s a chair?
August 28th, 2007 at 8:48 am, pussreboots Says:
The top of a bird feeder?
August 28th, 2007 at 9:04 am, Flo Says:
It looks just like the front of the dumpster sitting outside my lab.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:14 am, Emsxiety Says:
Well in my clutter, mine is sitting right out there not yet put away because I can’t currently find a place for it. Actually not my clutter, Rob’s clutter, but I’ll take some blame in it. I miss him working, i used to be able to clean it all out.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:55 am, Whim Says:

August 28th, 2007 at 11:11 am, skeet Says:
Not a bird feeder, either, Puss. Keep trying!
August 28th, 2007 at 11:12 am, skeet Says:
Sorry, Flo - not a dumpster. Did you watch the eclipse? Amazing!
August 28th, 2007 at 11:14 am, skeet Says:
Em, if it’s not your clutter it doesn’t count.
August 28th, 2007 at 11:15 am, skeet Says:
Not a wheelbarrow, Whim, but I’m happy to see you plugging away at it! Keep trying!
August 28th, 2007 at 11:17 am, skeet Says:
I’m not sure what a big green egg grill is, JGW, except that this isn’t one, lol!
I’ve removed your commercial link. Feel free to contact me about paid link placement or site reviews if you’d like a plug on my blog.

plastic lawn chair
August 28th, 2007 at 12:08 pm, Vanda Says:
Wiper blade.
Lower top of an up and down window.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:09 pm, Vanda Says:
Ummm that should be windshield wiper blade.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:53 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not a plastic lawn chair, Cass, but if you stand on your head and look at it, it almost could be that! Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 12:54 pm, skeet Says:
Not a wiper blade or part of a window, Vanda. Keep looking and take another shot at it!
August 28th, 2007 at 12:56 pm, Charlotte Says:
rain gutter?
August 28th, 2007 at 12:57 pm, Charlotte Says:
part of a pool?
I can’t help but seeing clouds reflected in whatever it is. hmmm…
August 28th, 2007 at 1:24 pm, Gally Says:
I’m sure I’m far off, but I’ll say the top of a green screw.
August 28th, 2007 at 1:40 pm, Charlotte Says:
A slide?
August 28th, 2007 at 1:45 pm, Lori Says:

adirondack chair arm
August 28th, 2007 at 2:13 pm, skeet Says:
Charlotte, not everything is as it seems! It’s not a rain gutter, part of a pool or a slide. Keep working it! You’ll see it eventually!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:14 pm, skeet Says:
Gally, it’s not a screw. Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:14 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry, Lori - it’s not a surfboard. Take another look and try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:15 pm, skeet Says:
Oh, I used to have some that color, too, Puss, but it’s not a tupperware-type top. Keep thinking!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:17 pm, skeet Says:
That shade of green reminds me of adirondack chairs and summer camp, Dana, but your guess is still wrong. Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 2:37 pm, Lori Says:
outdoor accent side table…lol It would go great with that adirondack chair.
August 28th, 2007 at 2:42 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Lori! Not a side table to go with my non-existent adirondack chairs. Keep trying!
August 28th, 2007 at 3:03 pm, Kitty Says:
top of a 55 gallon drum?
August 28th, 2007 at 3:27 pm, skeet Says:
Nope, Kitty! Not a 55 gallon drum. Guess again!

August 28th, 2007 at 3:46 pm, skeet Says:
Nope, Kelly - not a shovel. Take another look and guess again!
August 28th, 2007 at 3:46 pm, skeet Says:
Not a hose reel, Puss, but y’all are sure coming up with great guesses. Try again!
August 28th, 2007 at 3:48 pm, Kelly Says:

Not a wheelbarrow or a spade, Kelly! Keep trying!
August 28th, 2007 at 4:03 pm, Kelly Says:
Lawnmower!
August 28th, 2007 at 4:41 pm, skeet Says:
Now, Kelly, I’m curious. Your previous answers ended with a question mark. I notice that lawnmower is exclaimed! Were you supremely confident of that answer? I hope so, because it is correct! Congrats! I’ll post the photo soon, and look for a communication from me about your prize.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:50 pm, Kelly Says:

September 1st, 2007 at 2:22 am, Tuesday Teaser Says:
[…] Tuesday Teaser is a fun photo puzzle I run on my blog each week. Each puzzle is a small fragment of a photograph of something that most readers will be familiar with. The trick is figuring out what that item is. Re-sized and removed from context, it can be quite tricky. Each winner receives a blog review, and all weekly winners are entered in monthly drawing for a $10.00 gift card. If there is no winner, the prize carries over and the next winner will get two reviews and two entries in the drawing. The contest has become popular in the few months I’ve been running it, though I haven’t yet perfected my technique in selecting the puzzle pieces - sometimes it’s just too easy! The current contest can be found at: Tuesday Teaser. […]
