Tueasday Teaser for October 30, 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 November 1, 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 12:00 a.m. Thursday, November 1, 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!

You’re killin’ me, Skeet.

Sorry, Jo - not an ionizer. Keep trying!
October 30th, 2007 at 8:11 am, skeet Says:

egg slicer?
October 30th, 2007 at 8:17 am, skeet Says:
I get to play with bugs today so I’ll be out for five or six hours. Keep those guesses coming & I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
October 30th, 2007 at 8:24 am, skeet Says:
Not an egg slicer, Sarah. Try again!

October 30th, 2007 at 11:42 am, pussreboots Says:
a pair of flip flops?
October 30th, 2007 at 2:03 pm, jessica Says:
Is is a basketball? I need to clean my screen.
How about an upolstered chair?
October 30th, 2007 at 3:00 pm, katie Says:
Is it the tread on a pair of brand new shoes?
October 30th, 2007 at 3:01 pm, katie Says:

October 30th, 2007 at 4:34 pm, skeet Says:
Not a strainer, Sarah. Keep looking! It will come to you!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:35 pm, skeet Says:
Not a table mat or a book cover, Daphne. Keep trying! I’m sure you’ll see it before you turn cross-eyed!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:36 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not part of an electric skillet, Karen. Take another look!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:37 pm, skeet Says:
No, Ed, not a window frame. Guess again!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:38 pm, skeet Says:
Not flip-flops either, Sarah, but funny you should say that. I played with a flip-flop picture last night but couldn’t make it work for Tuesday Teasers.
October 30th, 2007 at 4:41 pm, pussreboots Says:
place mats?
October 30th, 2007 at 4:42 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Katie. Not a shoe tread or watch face. Take another shot at it!
October 30th, 2007 at 5:01 pm, jessica Says:
I hope I didn’t offend you but you skipped me…maybe I was disqualified for making two picks….the basketball and chair. I guess I’ll come back next week and try again!
October 30th, 2007 at 5:22 pm, Whim Says:
The corner of a building?
October 30th, 2007 at 6:07 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry, Jessica. Not a basketball or an upholstered chair. You didn’t offend me. First-time commenters are held in moderation for my approval and I forgot to check there before I answered the last batch. I do request that each guess be put in a separate comment, but no, I wasn’t offended and don’t puposely ignore people who are nice enough to visit. Sorry - I was busy with my work day & only had a moment to play with my blog between tasks. The puzzle contest runs until tomorrow midnight (Hawaii time) so you’ve still got more than twenty-four hours to keep guessing!
I’ve approved you now so you won’t go to moderation next time. I’ve removed your link, though, because I don’t allow links to commercial sites in my comments. That would kind of defeat the purpose of marketing through my blog, kwim? I’ll be happy to discuss link placement, a sidebar ad or a review of your ticket brokerage if you’re interested, though.
October 30th, 2007 at 6:08 pm, skeet Says:
No, Whim, not the corner of a building, but keep trying!
October 30th, 2007 at 6:39 pm, jessica Says:
ceiling fan blade…
October 30th, 2007 at 6:39 pm, jessica Says:
maybe a belt?
October 30th, 2007 at 6:46 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry, Jessica - not a ceiling fan blade or a belt. Maybe a fresh look in the morning will will enlighten you.
And, yes, looked at your site. It does kind of promote your ticket brokerage, but it’s mostly informational. Your links on the last two comment are intact.
October 30th, 2007 at 8:24 pm, pussreboots Says:
coasters?
October 30th, 2007 at 8:42 pm, skeet Says:
Not coasters, Sarah. Keep working it!
October 30th, 2007 at 8:48 pm, pussreboots Says:
contact lens case?
October 31st, 2007 at 12:10 am, daphne Says:
A two-sided comb?
October 31st, 2007 at 12:31 am, skeet Says:
No, Sarah, not a contact lens case. Shouldn’t you be in bed by now? Maybe the answer will come to you in your sleep?
October 31st, 2007 at 12:31 am, skeet Says:
Not a two-sided comb, Daphne. Keep trying!
October 31st, 2007 at 12:51 am, daphne Says:
Bummer … I thought I got it
October 31st, 2007 at 1:30 am, daphne Says:
A framed art?
October 31st, 2007 at 1:45 am, sabriena Says:
Is it one of those hair claw type clips?
October 31st, 2007 at 1:52 am, skeet Says:
not framed art, Daphne. I’m off to bed (very, very late.) Keep on working at it. I’ll be back after sunrise to let you know how you’ve done.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:53 am, skeet Says:
Not a hair clip, Sabriena. There’s still about twenty-two hours left - keep trying. I’ll be back after I get some sleep to see what you’ve guessed.
October 31st, 2007 at 7:21 am, pussreboots Says:
bath mat?
October 31st, 2007 at 9:15 am, skeet Says:
Yaaaaaaaawn! Strrrrreeeeeeeeeeetch! Good morning, Sarah. Happy Halloween. Not a bath mat. Take another shot at it?
October 31st, 2007 at 9:54 am, pussreboots Says:
egg poacher?
October 31st, 2007 at 11:28 am, skeet Says:
Not an egg poacher, Sarah, but keep trying. I appreciate your tenacity!
October 31st, 2007 at 11:32 am, AnnaBella Says:
A light cover.
October 31st, 2007 at 11:35 am, skeet Says:
Not a light cover, Anna Bella. Try again!
October 31st, 2007 at 2:02 pm, pussreboots Says:
My last guess is a “pineapple torture device” because I’m stumped.
October 31st, 2007 at 2:16 pm, skeet Says:
I think maybe you could torutre a pineapple with it, Sarah, but that’s not really what it’s for. Not even one more guess?
October 31st, 2007 at 3:00 pm, jayme Says:
Hi Skeet!

October 31st, 2007 at 3:40 pm, skeet Says:
Aloha Jayme! Long time/no play! No, it’s not a meat tenderizer, a bicycle tire, a wind chime, a massager, a tennis racket or a guitar. Keep trying!
October 31st, 2007 at 6:44 pm, Jade Says:
weaving loom? guitar neck? I know these are wrong, but I needed to take my guesses anyway.
October 31st, 2007 at 8:58 pm, skeet Says:
Not a loom or a guitar neck, Jade. Three hours to go. Take another guess! :d
