Tuesday Teaser for May 6, 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. Okay, it’s not a tropical vacation or a pair of gold cufflinks, but ten bucks from my pocket to yours is not a bad deal!
3. Drawing for the gift card will be held on or about June 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in May, 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 USB cable, the answer “some kind of electronic connection” 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 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, May 8, 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 website 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!

Hmm, we think it’s a gate latch too. (Joining with you in your PR of 0!)

So close, Blueyes, but your answer is a little too generic. The photo will appear in a new post shortly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:49 am, skeet Says:
Not part of a tree, Colleen Carroll. The correct answer is below yours. I’ll do a new post announcing the winner and showing the original photo as soon as I finish answering comments.

Oh, Karen - you got it right! Not the cooler latch - it’s a gate latch. Congrats!
May 6th, 2008 at 9:52 am, skeet Says:
You’re right, Vanda, but Karen got in just before you. I’ll post the full photo shortly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:53 am, skeet Says:
Hee! I have neighbors with chickens, but this is actually the latch on the kennel in my yard. Photo will be up shortly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:53 am, skeet Says:
Correct but a lttle too late, Whim. I’ll post the full photo shortly.
May 6th, 2008 at 9:56 am, skeet Says:
Yes, Jennifer - a gate latch. I’ll do a post showing the full photo shortly, so come back and see.
I actually have a PR of 3 now. I suppose I should change that line in my TT posts, but since we no know that PR means nothing I’ve never bothered.

Yahoo! I am having a great day. I just won a cook book from Val. I better go buy a lottery ticket.

And here I was thinking it was part of a couch!
Congrats Karen.
