Tuesday Teaser for May 20, 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!) PR3 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 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 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 22, 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!

It might be the mechanism on a blind that holds the cord when you make the blind stay up or down.

Nailed it in one, Charlotte! Yes, it’s my steel tape measure. Congrats!
May 20th, 2008 at 8:35 pm, skeet Says:
Close but no horse shoe, Laura. Charlotte guessed it. I’ll have the answere in a new post shortly.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:37 pm, skeet Says:
Ah, the thingamajiggys led you astray, Val! Charlotte got the correct answer. I’ll post the photo as soon as I’m caught up on comments.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:38 pm, skeet Says:
Yes, a tapemeasure, Bluepaintred, but Charlotte got it first. The announcement post will be up soon.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:38 pm, skeet Says:
Not a staple gun, Sarah. The answer post will appear soon.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:39 pm, skeet Says:
I don’t have any blinds, Karen. Check back soon to see what it is.
