Tuesday Teaser for February 5, 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 March 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 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, February 7, 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!

the business ed of a mangle wurzel?
February 5th, 2008 at 6:39 am, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
a storm drain pipe?
February 5th, 2008 at 7:23 am, skeet Says:
It’s nothing to do with a mangle wurzel, Martin, but I know you can solve this! Try again!
February 5th, 2008 at 7:23 am, skeet Says:
Not a storm dain pipe, Laura. Take another shot at it!
February 5th, 2008 at 9:04 am, Jade Says:
The end of a railing?
February 5th, 2008 at 9:05 am, Jade Says:
Part of a fence
February 5th, 2008 at 10:23 am, pussreboots Says:
It’s a chute of some kind.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:28 am, Gloria Says:
A hinge?
February 5th, 2008 at 11:11 am, skeet Says:
Not a railing or a fence, Jade. Good guesses - keep trying!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:13 am, skeet Says:
Any answer that requires the qualifer “of some kind” is a little too vague, Sarah! Try again!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:17 am, skeet Says:
Another answer that’s a little too vague. The correct answer will identify the item that appears in the picture the puzzle piece was cut from, Gloria. Lots of itmes have hinges. Take another look and see if you can win this one!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:28 am, Whim Says:
An exhaust pipe?
February 5th, 2008 at 11:34 am, pussreboots Says:
A gravel chute. Used in making concrete.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:38 am, Gloria Says:
the tailgate hinge of a truck?
February 5th, 2008 at 1:03 pm, skeet Says:
Not an exhaust pipe, Whim. It’s too late for another guess because one of our resident smarties has nailed it again!
February 5th, 2008 at 1:05 pm, skeet Says:
Sarah, you’re too good at this. You’ve bested everyone else once again by finding the answer. I’m on my way out to find some termites. I’ll post the full photo as soon as I’m back. congrats!
February 5th, 2008 at 1:17 pm, pussreboots Says:
I have to credit my 5 year old son with this win. His interest in all things construction has taught me a thing or two. LOL.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:23 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Gloria - it’s not a hinge on a tailgate. Sarah figured it out. I’ll post the original photo as soon as I finish an inspection that has to be gotten out of the way. Mahalo for playing. You’ve got a good eye. I hope I’ll see you playing each week!
February 5th, 2008 at 3:28 pm, Chelle Says:
I learn something new every week thanks to this game, Skeet. You are still teaching me to see in new ways. I love it and all I saw was a huge hunk of rusted metal (haha). Thanks for continuing the game!

I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date.
Good one Skeet, I wouldn’t have guessed that one.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:50 am, Mark Says:
That is the business end of a cement truck.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:06 am, skeet Says:
Mahalo for playing Chelle! Keep training yourself to look at things “differently” and you’ll win one some day!
February 6th, 2008 at 10:08 am, skeet Says:
You were missed, Val. Hope you’ll here early next week so you can join the fun!
February 6th, 2008 at 10:11 am, skeet Says:
You’d have won if Sarah hadn’t known it was the chute that delivers the cement before you arrived. The original photo was already posted before you wandered in. Come early next week - you’ve got the knack!

Oops! That last comment was in answer to Mark. Mahalo for playing, Mark!
