Tuesday Teaser for October 9, 2007
Can you identify the item depicted above? 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 (commercial sites ineligible.) 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 October 31, 2007, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are five Tuesdays in October, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is five.
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. Thursday, October 11, 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!

I’m horrible at these–but I shall persist…
A 3 hole punch?

A hair clip?

ironing board foot?

Not sure but what about the leg of a metal desk?
October 9th, 2007 at 7:53 am, skeet Says:
Not a hole punch, Robyn. Keep trying!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:54 am, skeet Says:
Sorry Jo! Not a hair clip, a curling iron or a clip-on light. Guess again!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:55 am, skeet Says:
It’s not an ironing board foot, Sarah. Take another shot at it!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:56 am, skeet Says:
No, Connie - it’s not the leg of a metal desk. Take another look and try again!
October 9th, 2007 at 9:53 am, Leigh Says:
looks like a gas line or a spring of some sort.
October 9th, 2007 at 10:02 am, Chuck Foxtrot Says:
a weight selector (?) for an exercise machine?
October 9th, 2007 at 10:22 am, Chuck Foxtrot Says:
a jack?
October 9th, 2007 at 10:42 am, pussreboots Says:
pogo stick?
October 9th, 2007 at 10:55 am, emsxiety Says:
A jack for a car? A butterfly jack.

Part of a bed frame or box spring?
October 9th, 2007 at 1:12 pm, Jade Says:
Oh crap, what are those things called….it’s a little electrical box thingie that you run conduit and wires through?
That’s what it looks like under my register, anyway :\
October 9th, 2007 at 4:48 pm, skeet Says:
Those are pretty vague guesses, Leigh. Try to narrow it down a little more next time.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:54 pm, skeet Says:
Not a weight selector for an exercise machine, Chuck, but darn if you didn’t nail it with your next guess. Yes, it’s the jack I’ve never had to use in the four years I’ve had my car.
You’ve won a linky love post (blog review) and your name will be entered in the gift card drawing at the end of Ocotber. I’ll post the photo proof that verifies your answer shortly.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:54 pm, skeet Says:
Not a pogo stick, Sarah, but we have a winner. Come see!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:55 pm, skeet Says:
A little late with the correct answer, Em, because Chuck knew it was a jack before you posted. Sorry, my friend!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:56 pm, skeet Says:
Not part of a bed frame or box spring, Valmg. We have a winner and I’ll post the photo proof shortly, so come back in a while, hm?
October 9th, 2007 at 5:31 pm, pussreboots Says:
Congrats Chuck! Good spotting.
October 10th, 2007 at 5:11 am, valmg Says:
wow was I far off! congrats Chuck!
October 10th, 2007 at 5:07 pm, emsxiety Says:
No worries, I guess first then read the previous answers. Had I read first, I’d have just agreed with Chuck. I didn’t know what it was, my daughters boyfriend did. He’s smart and stuff.
