Tuesday Teaser for August 26, 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. For instance, indoor lighting would be too general as an answer if you needed to identify a lava lamp. Sometimes the brand will need to be specific, as when you identified the Enregizer Bunny and auto company logos. 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 so they can start saving for those sexy new shoes or a gallon of gas.
3. Drawing for the monthly prize will be held on or about September 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in August, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four.
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.

Foot of a ladder

Jennifer, I love it that your family has gotten involved! Tell your five year old that it’s not a button, but I’m so glad that he/she played! It’s also not a stapler, a clothes pin or a wood clamp. Tell Larry it’s not the foot of a lader either. I couldn’t find Measure Twice, Cut Once, but love the name & if Larry wants to come back & hook up the link I’d love to visit his blog.

Well, Meagan - I guess you’ve already figured out for yourself that it’s not a paint pad or brush. Your other answers are so targeted I’m sure you also have no doubts that you’re right about it being package tape - Scotch Brand, to boot! You got it! I’ve just gotten home & need to put groceries away, but will post the photo & announcement shortly. Congrats!
August 26th, 2008 at 5:37 pm, Larry @ Measure Twice, Cut Once Says:
This should be the right link :)!

Mahalo, Larry! Nice blog and very interesting stuff about homesteading. Love the pocket gopher post. I used to do all branches of pest control, but limit myself to termite inspections now. I kinda miss trying to outsmart devious little rodents!

I don’t think that I would have ever guessed that was packing tape. Pencil sharpener was the only thing that we could come up with.
