Tuesday Teaser for November 6, 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 get 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 PR2 (bah google!) 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 30, 2007, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in November, 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 12:00 a.m. Thursday, November 8, 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!

Looks like the part of a sewing machine that the bobbin fits into.

The internals of an old SLR camera?

Dead bolt lock.
November 6th, 2007 at 7:13 am, skeet Says:
No, Charlotte, not a bobbin case thingie on a sewing machine. Try again!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:14 am, skeet Says:
Not the inside of an SLR camera, Lee. Look again!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:15 am, skeet Says:
Sorry, Ami-chan - not a coin slot. Take another guess!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:16 am, skeet Says:
No, Christine, not a coin slot on a vending machine - keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:17 am, skeet Says:
Not a dead bolt lock, Jules. Take another look!
November 6th, 2007 at 9:22 am, corrinrene Says:
How about a pad lock?
November 6th, 2007 at 9:37 am, Jaz Says:
It does look like a part of the sewing machine, like the foot? The small long part is the needle?

I’m going to need some time thinking about what this item can be.
November 6th, 2007 at 11:05 am, jo Says:
Is it one those jacket thingies that keeps the hood tie tight? Don’t know what they are called…
November 6th, 2007 at 12:44 pm, pussreboots Says:
a fancy hole punch?
November 6th, 2007 at 1:56 pm, Maura Says:
Part of a hinge?
November 6th, 2007 at 2:17 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not a pad lock, Corrin. Give it another look!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:18 pm, skeet Says:
No, Jaz, not a sewing machine foot. Try again!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:19 pm, skeet Says:
Wow! Mahalo for the hook up with Blogging Contest.com! I really apprecite that. Now come back and play, lol!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:21 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not one of those thingies that keep a hood tie tight, Jo. Dunno - a grommet? Not sure what they’re called, lol, just that this isn’t one. Keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:21 pm, skeet Says:
Not a fancy hole punch, Sarah. Take another guess!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:22 pm, skeet Says:
Not part of a hinge, Maura. Take another look and keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 2:34 pm, pussreboots Says:
electric can opener?
November 6th, 2007 at 3:50 pm, perros Says:
That one is easy! It is a look inside a stapler!
November 6th, 2007 at 4:59 pm, pussreboots Says:
A car’s ignition?
November 6th, 2007 at 5:15 pm, skeet Says:
Not an electric can opener either, Sarah, but keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 5:20 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not the inside of a stapler, perros. Do you have a blog? The prize for this contest is a blog review. If you don’t have one you may nominate a charitable site or non-profit (subject to my approval) for me to blog about if you should win. The site you attached to your signature is not a blog and it doesn’t have enough material for a review. And, um - I’m a pretty shallow person and only communicate in English, so that’s a problem, too! I don’t want to dis-allow non-commercial entries, so if you’ve got something that qualifies - bring it on and try again!
November 6th, 2007 at 5:21 pm, skeet Says:
Not a car’s ignition Sarah, but I can see how it might do a good impression of one, lol! Keep on trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 5:32 pm, pussreboots Says:
Nail clippers for a pet?
November 6th, 2007 at 5:53 pm, Erz Says:
My guess is a belt buckle.
November 6th, 2007 at 6:08 pm, jo Says:
swiss army knife?
November 6th, 2007 at 7:14 pm, Jaz Says:
Clasp on a necklace?
November 6th, 2007 at 7:15 pm, selif Says:
A Cufflink?
November 6th, 2007 at 7:20 pm, skeet Says:
Not nail clippers for a pet, Srah, but mahalo for reminding me I need to get a new pair! Keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:23 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not a belt buckle, Erz. Take another look, then try again!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:24 pm, skeet Says:
Giggle! Y’all love those swiss army knives, don’t you Jo? Nope, its not that, but there’s still more than twenty-four hours to solve it. Keep trying!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:25 pm, skeet Says:
Not a necklace clasp, Jaz. Guess again!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:25 pm, skeet Says:
Not a cufflink, selif. Look closely and take another shot at it!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:28 pm, Jaz Says:
Are we going to groan loudly when we find out what it is? I will bet I do. Sigh. I ran out of guesses. Think I will try again tomorrow when my eyes aren’t crossed. LOL!!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:32 pm, selif Says:
A Zipper?
November 6th, 2007 at 7:36 pm, skeet Says:
The groaning will be heard around the world, Jaz, because I happen to know that every one of you knows this item. Perhaps after some rest you’ll have a flash of recognition.
November 6th, 2007 at 7:37 pm, skeet Says:
Not a zipper, Selif, but don’t give up! Try again!
November 6th, 2007 at 8:21 pm, pussreboots Says:
can opener?
November 6th, 2007 at 9:20 pm, skeet Says:
Not a can opener Sarah. Once more around the block?
November 6th, 2007 at 9:28 pm, pussreboots Says:
cigar trimmer?
November 6th, 2007 at 9:36 pm, skeet Says:
Not a cigar trimmer, Sarah. Don’t give up!
November 7th, 2007 at 4:44 am, Chuck Foxtrot Says:
Is it the detachable flash acceptor port (wow…I have no idea what to call that) on a camera?
November 7th, 2007 at 6:42 am, pussreboots Says:
I know I’ll slap my head when you post the confirmation photo. But for the moment I’m not seeing it. I’ll have to go with my standard “pineapple torture device” answer.
November 7th, 2007 at 8:29 am, skeet Says:
I don’t know what you call that either, Chuck, and I’ve never taken a picture of one. Try again!
November 7th, 2007 at 8:29 am, skeet Says:
I think it could be used as a pineapple torture device, Sarah, but that’s not what it’s really for. Try again!
November 7th, 2007 at 11:55 am, Israel Jobs Says:
A car door’s keyhole or car trunk’s keyhole?
Jacob
November 7th, 2007 at 2:54 pm, skeet Says:
Not a keyhole for a car, Jacob. Guess again, one guess per comment, please!
November 7th, 2007 at 6:39 pm, Israel Jobs Says:
A briefcase lock?
Jacob
November 7th, 2007 at 11:52 pm, skeet Says:
Not a briefcase lock, Jacob. My power was off all evening. I’m going to leave the contest open overnight (it’s almost midnight in Hawaii now) just in case some of the new players thought they couldn’t make new guesses until I replied. Keep trying. Make as many guesses as you want, one per comment. I’ll check back in the morning and hopefully find a winner!
November 8th, 2007 at 12:37 pm, mel Says:
its the head part of a wrench.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:56 pm, skeet Says:
It wasn’t part of a wrench, Mel. You can see the puzzle answer here:
