Tuesday Teaser for February 12, 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, February14, 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 don’t have a blog, but can I be in it for the fun and not the prize?
Because it looks to me like a piece of a metal box… it probably says “MO” there…
Now I’ll just have to remember what that might stand for…

Monopoly!
February 12th, 2008 at 2:53 am, Martin Says:
Darn.
Monogamy?
February 12th, 2008 at 2:53 am, Martin Says:
I’ve been around the board a few times.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:56 am, Cass Says:
A C Moore sign?
February 12th, 2008 at 5:24 am, Lisa Says:
Monopoly game.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:29 am, Colleen Says:
Finally, a teaser I can identify! It’s the Monopoly box.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:52 am, Mrs. Mecomber Says:
It’s a VERY OLD version of Monopoly. Everyone said it was Monopoly, but it is not the modern version. I have the old (from the 50s) game on my shelf, so it is quite familiar.

Monopoly board game!

Well, folks, it’s obvious tht I wasn’t clever enough to fool anyone this week. I have an early appointment with a client, but will be back in a few hours to reply to each of you and to show you the original photo. Sorry for the delay!

Congrats to the winner.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:20 pm, skeet Says:
You’re right, of course, Jennifer, as was most everyone else who played, lol! Congrats, winner!

I love your silliness, Martin. I’m guessing you didn’t feel any great need to be specific since you knew the correct answer was already staring you in the face. I’m adding a special twist next week which should kick it up a notch, challenge-wise. Maybe I’ll finally produce a puzzle that’s too tough for your brilliance.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:27 pm, skeet Says:
U, who’s A C Moore, Cass?
February 12th, 2008 at 1:30 pm, skeet Says:
Good answer, Lisa! You’d have won if a certain someone hadn’t popped in so early!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pm, skeet Says:
You had a good start on the answer, Timmy! The answer is posted now, so come take a look-see. Hope you’ll be back next week!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:35 pm, skeet Says:
Right you are, Colleen, but not first with the correct answer. Next week I’m trying something new with a higher level of challenge, so I hope you’ll check it out!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pm, skeet Says:
You were almost so, so right, Mrs. Mecomber. Come see how I led you astray!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:37 pm, skeet Says:
Correct answer but bad timing, Jay. I hope you’ll try again next week!
February 12th, 2008 at 1:38 pm, skeet Says:
I’m amping up the challenge next week, Sarah. Hope you’ll be here to the new Tuesday Teaser with a twist!
