Tuesday Teaser for June10, 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 or a ten dollar payment through PayPal.
3. Drawing for the gift card will be held on or about July1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in June thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four.
Other stuff -EDITED - PLEASE READ!
a. 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.
b. No hints will be given.
c. 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.
d. Decisions of the judge are final. Don’t argue with me. I won’t answer.
e. 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.
f. Entries must be posted before 1:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 12, Hawaii time (GMT -10, approximately forty-eight hours from now.)
g. 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.
h. Skeet’s Stuff is a do-follow blog, so you get some link value just for commenting.
i. 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:
j. Let the fun begin!

June 10th, 2008 at 1:11 pm, skeet Says:
Hee! I know just what you’re talking about, Jennifer - kind of like a mobile and a whirly-gig combined. But it’s not that, so guess again!

Hinge? Maybe that’s too general…
June 11th, 2008 at 5:35 pm, Tammie Says:
Is it a garden hose nozzle?
June 11th, 2008 at 5:44 pm, skeet Says:
Pretty genral,Jade, but no - not a hinge.
June 11th, 2008 at 5:45 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not a garden hose nozzle, Tammie. I took a gazzilion picuters of one and no matter what I did it was too easy to guess, lol. Keep trying! Six hours to go!
June 11th, 2008 at 8:31 pm, Yang Says:
Okay, Let me try.
Is it a pair of scissors?
Looks chromed color and looks like it’s the hinge part.
I hope I’m right.
June 11th, 2008 at 8:59 pm, skeet Says:
Welcome to the fun, Yang. It’s not scissors. Five hours left to figure it out - guess again!
June 11th, 2008 at 9:51 pm, Yang Says:
Well, it’s almost 1 in the morning so this is my last guess. I know i’m wrong but here it is:
A proportion of a table.
I was fun guessing anyways!
June 11th, 2008 at 10:06 pm, skeet Says:
Hee! Three more hours to go - the blog is on Hawaii time. Not a part of a table though. One more guess before you give up, Yang?
The answer will appear tomorrow, so if you’re headed to bed, make sure you check in after the sun comes up over paradise!

Is it the support that holds a trampoline up?
June 12th, 2008 at 9:36 am, skeet Says:
No, Darilyn - nothing to do with a trampoline. The contest has ended for this week. You can see the answer to the puzzle now. hope you’ll come earlier next week so you’ll have a real shot at playing!
