Tuesday Teaser for January 1, 2008
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 PR0 (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 February 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are five Tuesdays in January, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is five.
Other stuff -EDITED - PLEASE READ!
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. Guess as many times as you please, but please place each guess in a separate comment.
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 “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 p.m. on Thursday, January 3, Hawaii time (GMT -10, approximately forty-eight hours from now.)
7. This is intended to be an ongoing feature at Skeet’s Stuff. If you or I lose interest 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. You do not have to have a blog to enter. Your review can be donated to a charitable or non-profit site if you don’t have a blog or just want to share the love. Sites to be reviewed are subject to my approval. I’m not harsh, but I’m also not interested in donating space to a radical political non-profit site or a blog that is dedicated to porn. Commercial sites are ineligible and comments with commercial links will be deleted. If you would like to advertise on my site I’ll be happy to discuss your needs and my fees.
10. Let the fun begin!

Looks like the siphon hose to my beer pail.
Namaste.

the base of a blender?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:49 am, Evelyn Says:
Looks like one of those spinning reel things to wind up a hose or heavy-duty power cord. Or, the top of a 5-gallon bucket. Hmmm… this is a toughy.
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:21 am, skeet Says:
Ah, Phil - if I only had a beer pail it might be such a siphon hose. Alas, I don’t and it’s not. Try again!
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:22 am, skeet Says:
Sorry, Lynn! It’s not the base of a blender. Keep trying!

January 2nd, 2008 at 9:45 am, skeet Says:
Aloha Dear Dwight! You’re still the world’s best uncle and the most brilliant man I know, but you must be having an off day. Not a spindle for a CD-DVD drive. Try again!
Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! You gonna get your butt in gear and get over here this year?

Radiator hose on a car?
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:22 am, Dodo O Says:
Dodo thinks it is a Bunsen Burner.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:33 am, skeet Says:
Sorry, Whim! Not a radiator hose, but take another guess, please!
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:35 am, skeet Says:
Sorry Dodo, I don’t have a Bunsen Burner or a lab to keep one in, but wouldn’t that be grand! Keep trying! I need a winner!
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:37 am, skeet Says:
And sorry about the typos, Dodo! There was chocolate involved!

January 2nd, 2008 at 8:38 pm, skeet Says:
Oooops! Sorry Andrea - I sorta combined your answer with the one below yours. It’s not a sprinkler, either. Keep trying!
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:39 pm, skeet Says:
Gah! I shouldn’t try to answer comments while cooking dinner. Meant to say it’s not a gas lamp, Sarah!
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:40 pm, skeet Says:

electric light fixture

Aloha kakahiaka, Sarah! Nice to wake up and find you still playing. Sorry, it’s not a spark plug. Try again!
January 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 am, skeet Says:
to skeet’s stuff, Marcia! No, it’s not an electric light fixture, but keep trying! I need a winner!

Sorry, Marcia! The beginning of my reply to you got cut off. That should say … Welcome to skeet’s stuff!
January 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 am, Chelle Says:
Hmm.. part of it looks like a magnifying glass but I have no idea what the rest of it is. The handle on the right with the curve at the top makes me think of a magnifying glass though, but unless it’s some form of glass tabletop or mirrored tabletop it doesn’t make any sense to me.
Great idea, by the way!
January 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 pm, pussreboots Says:
gas stove?
January 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 pm, skeet Says:
Welcome to skeet’s stuff, Chelle! Sorry - it’s not a magnifying glass, though I can see what you’re saying. Try again!
January 3rd, 2008 at 12:16 pm, skeet Says:
Not a gas stove, Sarah. Keep trying. What do you thin? Should I post a hint and add a few extra hours to the deadline?
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:14 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
A teakettle?
January 3rd, 2008 at 4:18 pm, Chelle Says:
Double-Boiler?
Crepe-maker?
LOL, this is fun, I’ll feel really stupid when the right answer is sent in!
January 3rd, 2008 at 5:50 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry folks! I posted the full photo up above several hours ago and totally forgot to this thread! The answer can be found here!
January 4th, 2008 at 7:58 pm, Windexglow Says:
A bathtub?
A sink?
Some foreign object that you picked up in a thrift shop while visiting Asia?

Welcome Windexglow. Unfortunately, you’re too late for this week’s contest - but your answers were a little off base anyway. The link to the answer is in the comment directly above your own. Hope you’ll come back next Tuesday and give it another shot.
