G. What is the theme that unites them all?
Can you identify the items depicted above? Take your best shot and answer in the comments below. If your answer wins, you’ll get a nifty prize.
These are new instructions, so read the following paragraph carefully. Here’s how it works:
1. Write a comment giving your guess as to what each item is. The photo clues are labeled from top to bottom with the letters A through F. Use these designations in order in your answer. You must also provide answer G: what is the common theme that unites the items?
2. First person to identify all of the items wins.
3. The author of this blog will be the sole judge as to what constitutes a correct answer.
4. Comments will be held in moderation for the first twenty-four hours of the contest. This will allow all contestants to speculate indepnedently without influence from previous comments. If the puzzle is not solved within twenty-four hours, the coments will then be made public.
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 April 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in March, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four.
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, March 6, 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!

Em, your speculation as to the topic is nowhere near the ballpark yet.
Val, zero of seven answers correct.
I will allow this travesty to continue a while longer - say another two hours? If it becomes obvious that I haven’t supplied adequate photo clues I’ll expand a couple of them to make them easier to guess and thus, hopefully, clue you in to the topic so you can figure out the rest. I may also turn off moderation at that time so you can get some benefit from those who post their comments before your own. Fair?
I can’t use my comment e-mail responder without first publishing the comments. I’ll copy this to both of you so you’ll be sure to know what going on.
