Tuesday Teaser for November 18, 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, “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 Hmmmm! PR2 again. 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 November 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in October, 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.

When the forty-eight hour time limit passes and the Tuesday Teaser remains usolved I’m always assailed by remorse and self-doubt. I worry that I’ve created an un-solvable puzzle and treated my readers unfairly. Around noon today I started to get that uncomfortable feeling that we would once again retire the puzzle with no winner. Deanna wandered in shortly thereafter and laid my fears to rest. She recognized the puzzle photo this week as part of a fire extinguisher. Mahalo, Deanna, for saving me from sleepless nights and floor-pacing! You’ve won a linky-love blog review, but I must warn you that I’m several months behind, so it might be a while before you review appears. Each day lately I thought I would reach that point in my home remodel and moving preparation that would allow me to spend endless hours at the keyboard again, but that just hasn’t happened. I need to find a way to squeeze more hours into each day, or perhaps to find a way to get the energy boost I remember my mom always getting when she took diet pills. Alas, until I find that magical solution I’m sure I’ll continue to fall behind, but I’m working on it - Scout’s honor (yes, I was a Girl Scout and am entitled to that affirmation!) Deanna, you’ll also be entered into the November drawing for a gift card, so don’t forget to keep coming back to check the news (and the competition!)

Many thanks to all of you who played this week, and especially to those of you who play week after week, even when I fail to find the balance between fairness and a good challenge! I’ll take another shot at that next week, so I hope to see you there!

Tuesday Teaser photo verification

I started to install the new ceiling fan in the dining area a few days ago, then lost my nerve. I had the power off, so I wasn’t afraid of being electrocuted while doing the installation. I was afraid of installing it wrong and electrocuting myself or shorting out all the wiring in the house the first time I turned it on. Much too stressful for me, so I waited and let Paul install it yesterday. I have two more just like it - they were supposed to be for the three bedrooms in my home. There’s no wiring in the bedroom ceilings. When I got quotes for it I discovered that the house would need to be rewired before any new circuits are added and that the price would be quite hefty, so I decided to live without ceiling fans in the bedrooms. I’ll take the other two and the very large one that was originally intended for the dining room with me when I move. Hopefully my new home will have wiring in place for me to have ceiling fans in every room.

Congratulations to Megan, who once again beat the rest of you to the punch by being the first to solve the puzzle. She’s won a linky-love review of her blog - I’m so far behind I think I owe her three now. I WILL get caught up - just not sure when! Megan will also be entered into the monthly drawing for a ten dollar gift card (or cold, hard cash!)

Mahalo to all of you for playing Tuesday Teaser!

Tuesday Teaser gift card winner for October

We’ve run out of Tuesdays for October, so all of the weekly winners of Tuesday Teaser have been declared. I’ve been late with the monthly prize drawing a few times lately and don’t want to let that become routine, so I decided to do the drawing today, on the last day of the month. It’s been my habit to let someone assist me each month so that y’all could know I was being honest and not favoring anyone. I’ve decided to dispense with that this month. Do y’all trust me? Should I have conducted an opinion poll or perhaps have gotten insurance quotes to cover my risk for such a drastic change? I hope I’ve judged your temperament correctly and that you’ll allow me this little indulgence, this month only.

I put the names of all of the weekly winners for October into the magic mug …

And drew out the name of our lucky winner!

And there you have it! Congratulations to Megan! She’s won her choice of a ten dollar gift card or a deposit in her PayPal account.

Mahalo to all of you for playing my little game. I’ll see you next Tuesday!

I suspect that this is one of those occasions when several of you will be kicking yourself for not seeing the solution to my little puzzle. Most of you “got it” that it was the inside of something, and several of you even realized it was the inside of a drawer, but no one made that further leap to identify it as the inside of a file cabinet drawer. Sadly, we once again have no winner, so there’s one less name to go into the magic mug for the monthly prize drawing. You’ve missed your chance at the nest egg that could have set you up for a career in futures trading, but don’t despair. You’ll have another shot at it next week when we play Tuesday Teaser again!

I thought for sure that my recent activities would direct your guesses this week and that the puzzle would be solved quickly by a regular reader. Alas, our forty-eight hours has passed with no correct answer, so here ya go. It’s my handy-dandy new scraper/cutter, fresh from the package. It sure looked pretty a few days ago before it got spattered with paint and battered about a bit, don’t you think?

No winner this week, but I thank you all kindly for playing. I hope you’ll all return next Tuesday to take Tuesday Teaser out for a spin once again!
