Tuesday Teaser for January 29, 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 a.m. on Thursday, January 31, 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.
Additional Notes:
10. Let the fun begin!

I’m going to guess drinking fountain.
January 29th, 2008 at 2:27 am, Lori Says:
That’s what I was gonna say had I guessed:)
January 29th, 2008 at 3:43 am, Martin Says:
Jennifer is probably right, but I’m going to guess that it is an ejection seat mechanism on a baby stroller.

base of a sink’s spigot

water fountain in a park

handrail?
January 29th, 2008 at 7:17 am, Mark Says:
It is the back of a water fountain spigot. The spigot is facing east and is located next in a park next to a parking lot. There is a path moving from left to right and a single bird, crow I believe, is flying nearby. The photograph was taken at approximately 2:30pm edt. There is a house behind the photographer. Nobody is home. It is late spring. Oh, and the photographer is wearing tennis shoes.

Handle bar base on a bicycle.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:18 am, Whim Says:
It’s already been guessed but I say drinking fountain.

A close up of one of the spokes on a wheel. I think it’s a bicycle wheel, but I will also submit a car wheel or a motorcycle wheel and be happy with only partial credit for those answers.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:40 am, Chelle Says:
My first thought was a mop handle, the kind that have the removable sponges but not the kind that have the rollers to squeeze the water… I am pretty sure that’s wrong.
Other thought someone said, the bottom of the sink faucet.

Dayam, woman! I thought I made it tough this time. Nailed it in one! Congrats Jennifer! I’ll post the full picture shortly.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:55 am, skeet Says:
And you would have been right, too, Lori.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:56 am, skeet Says:
Jennifer was right, Martin. The ejection seat thing - not so much!
January 29th, 2008 at 9:57 am, skeet Says:
So close, Laura. So close!
January 29th, 2008 at 9:58 am, skeet Says:
If you’d only gotten here earlier in the day Cass, I’d have been forced to review one of your blogs.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:58 am, skeet Says:
Have some more coffee, Corrin!
January 29th, 2008 at 10:04 am, skeet Says:
Hee! Very perceptive, Mark. The spigot is facing southwest. The path you got right, but the bird is a red-vented bulbul. The photo was taken about half past noon. There is a boat harbor behind me and lots of folks are home. I’m wearing slippahs (local word for flip-flops.)
January 29th, 2008 at 10:05 am, skeet Says:
A little late and a little wrong Sarah, but you get them right so often that you’re allowed.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:06 am, skeet Says:
Shoot! I forgot I was going to call you and wake you up at midnight, Whim!
January 29th, 2008 at 10:07 am, skeet Says:
You need new glasses, Frogster!
January 29th, 2008 at 10:09 am, skeet Says:
You’re right, Chelle - you would have been wrong. Maybe next week?:D
January 29th, 2008 at 2:33 pm, jo Says:
Darn it! I’ve been working days and I miss all the teasers now!
January 29th, 2008 at 2:52 pm, skeet Says:
You didn’t miss much, Jo, but I’m working on getting them to be more challenging again!
January 29th, 2008 at 6:05 pm, valmg Says:
I’m late again!
January 31st, 2008 at 9:38 am, Chelle Says:
I’m still new to this so it’s still challenging for me! It helps me see in different ways. Perhaps I do need to read the book my daughter got on drawing for Christmas….
