Tuesday Teaser for July 15, 2008
Can you identify the item depicted above? 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. Be as specific as you can. A table is too vague - a clamp on a card table leg is specific. Sometimes the brand will need to be specific, as when you identified the Enregizer Bunny. Maybe someday I’ll do Ecco shoes, which are quite distinctive, so you’d need to be that detailed in your answer. Guess as many times as you want, but put each answer in a separate comment, please!
2. First person to identify the item wins. If more than one person provides the correct answer, time and date stamp will determine who was first.
3. The author of this blog will be the sole judge as to what constitutes a correct answer. Sorry - no hints will be given. I will attempt to respond to your answers at least every few hours, but I am not continuously at the keyboard so please be patient.
4. The contest will end in forty-eight hours, whether or not a correct guess has been submitted.
5. Skeet’s Stuff is a do-follow blog, so you get some link value just for commenting.
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!) Ha! PR3 blog. Skeet writes good reviews. 
2. The weekly winners will be entered into a monthly drawing for a $10.00 gift card from Starbucks or Amazon or a ten dollar payment through PayPal.
3. Drawing for the monthly prize will be held on or about August 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are five Tuesdays in July, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is five.
Comments submitted with commercial links will be deleted. If you would like to market your product, service or website through skeet’s stuff I’ll be happy to discuss your needs and my prices. Please submit your request via email.

Did I miss the drawing for last month?
July 15th, 2008 at 8:33 am, skeet Says:
Not a stained glass window, Gina. Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:34 am, skeet Says:
Not a window frame, picture frames or a screen door, Jillybean. Take a closer look!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:35 am, skeet Says:
Not two monitors, Ami-chan! Look again!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:37 am, skeet Says:
Not an aquarioum, Jade. Keep trying!
No, you didn’t miss the drawing for last month. I’m senile and keep forgetting to take the magic mug with me when I go out. Now that my cable connection seems to be stable I need to catch up on some online stuff, but I’ll try to get the drawing done later today. Mahalo for the reminder!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:37 am, Lisa Says:
Slot machines?
July 15th, 2008 at 8:42 am, skeet Says:
Hee! Not slot machines, Lisa. Take a real close look and guess again!

Car door?
July 15th, 2008 at 9:14 am, Gina Says:
Is it the Microsoft Windows Logo?
July 15th, 2008 at 9:17 am, Katy Lin Says:
i’d say it’s similar to last week’s item. a display with a photo of swimming pool or ocean water on the right and a brand logo (maybe a sunscreen logo) on the left?
July 15th, 2008 at 9:29 am, Meat Jun Says:
I KNOW WHAT IT IS!! LOL!! Its me meatjun/chickatsu hehehe See you laters
July 15th, 2008 at 9:33 am, skeet Says:
Not a car door, Jillybean! Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 9:34 am, skeet Says:
Not a Windows logo, Gina, but I can kinda see the resemblance. Keep plugging away at it!
July 15th, 2008 at 9:35 am, skeet Says:
You’re a creative thinker, Kay Lin, but that’s not the right answer. Keep staring until your eyes cross and maybe you’ll see it!
July 15th, 2008 at 9:37 am, skeet Says:
Aloha Meat Jun! I was wondering if you & Mom would show up, lol!
Folks, I’m really excited to see this visitor, but I can’t tell you why until the puzzle is solved. Stand by!
July 15th, 2008 at 10:14 am, Lisa Says:
flag?
July 15th, 2008 at 10:17 am, Lisa Says:
shirt?
July 15th, 2008 at 10:50 am, skeet Says:
It’s not a flag or a shirt, Lisa. Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 10:59 am, Elizabeth M. Says:
A zipper, a quilt, an apron, an art gallery display?
July 15th, 2008 at 11:50 am, skeet Says:
It’s not a zipper, a quilt, an apron or an art gallery display, Elizabeth, but I like the way you think! Keep trying, but put each guess in a separate comment, please! (I accidently deleted that from the rules when I edited them last month, but it’s back now.)
July 15th, 2008 at 2:42 pm, Elizabeth M. Says:
Is it a beach towel?
July 15th, 2008 at 2:43 pm, Elizabeth M. Says:
Is it a kite?
July 15th, 2008 at 2:47 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not a beach towel or a kite, Elizabeth, but I love it when someone new jumps right into the spirit of the thing! Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 2:55 pm, Elizabeth M. Says:
how about a puzzle piece? this is hard.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:06 pm, skeet Says:
No additional puzzle pieces, Elizabeth, but I’ll tell you what more experienced players already know: the item is always something common that you’ve seen many times before. The kind of thing that will have you slappinng your forehead and going “DOH!” when you realize what it is.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:14 pm, pussreboots Says:
Digital camera?
July 15th, 2008 at 3:16 pm, pussreboots Says:
A security device for a VPN client.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:17 pm, pussreboots Says:
The clip on a life preserver / personal flotation device.
July 15th, 2008 at 4:27 pm, Gabrielle Says:
Movie posters?
July 15th, 2008 at 4:49 pm, Gina Says:
a photo screen?
July 15th, 2008 at 5:13 pm, valmg Says:
an umbrella?
July 15th, 2008 at 5:15 pm, valmg Says:
Is it something Meat Jun is holding?
July 15th, 2008 at 5:15 pm, valmg Says:
Is it a sail?
July 15th, 2008 at 5:16 pm, valmg Says:
Some kind of purse, tote or bag?
July 15th, 2008 at 5:24 pm, JMom Says:
a zipper pull?
July 15th, 2008 at 6:06 pm, skeet Says:
Sarah, it’s not a camera or a “security device for a VPN client.” What does that mean, anyway?
July 15th, 2008 at 6:07 pm, skeet Says:
Oops! Sorry Sarah - not a clip on a life preserver, either.
July 15th, 2008 at 6:07 pm, skeet Says:
Not a movie poster, Gabrielle. Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 6:11 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Gina - not a photo screen. Try again!
July 15th, 2008 at 6:14 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Val - not an umbrella, a sail, a purse or tote. Meat Jun knows what it is, but not because she was holding it, lol! Keep trying!
July 15th, 2008 at 6:15 pm, skeet Says:
Not a zipper pull, JMom. Keep trying!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:14 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
A calculator?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:16 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
A terminal screen?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
A puzzle game… oh I don’t know what the name is,… the pieces move around in a square and you have to strategically move them into place to create the larger photo.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
Rubik’s Cube?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:20 pm, Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings Says:
Credit Card Machine?
July 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm, Elizabeth M. Says:
post-its?
July 16th, 2008 at 2:20 pm, Whim Says:
A funky lamp?
July 16th, 2008 at 4:53 pm, skeet Says:
Laura, it’s not a calculator, a terminal screen, one of those sliding-piece puzzles that I don’t know the name of either, a Rubik’s Cube or a credit card machine. Seven hours to go, so keep trying!
July 16th, 2008 at 4:53 pm, skeet Says:
It’s not Post-Its, Elizabeth. Don’t give up!
July 16th, 2008 at 4:54 pm, skeet Says:
Sorry Whim - not a funky lamp! Keep trying!
July 16th, 2008 at 5:31 pm, Gina Says:
I think you’ve stumped us again Skeet!
July 16th, 2008 at 7:06 pm, Tammie Says:
Oh, I dunno — the electric cord coming out of the side of a lava lamp!
July 17th, 2008 at 12:24 am, skeet Says:
Seems that way, Gina. I thought it was hard but solvable. the answer post will be up shortly.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:25 am, skeet Says:
Oh, I miss my lava lamp, Tammie. I don’t have any pictures of it, though, and that’s not the answer to the puzzle. Look for the answer post soon.
