[BearLeeAlive]

Candy?
'tis not candy Lawrie

[SolidxSnake]

[BearLeeAlive]

Looks very very similar to an Indian sweet (Jalebi (sp?)). Close or no cigar?
Not sure what that is, but this is savory, not sweet.

Glaze?

[BearLeeAlive]

The gel left behind from baking a ham?
Nope
Glaze?
Not glaze

In the spirit of keeping this game going fast, I will say Chandlers first guess is in a way the closest. Though not sugar, he saw kinda on the right track.

[tomd]

Did you have Chinese for dinner? Is the picture of sweet and sour chicken?

[jr#8]

candle

[jr#8]

The gel left behind from baking a ham
That would be Pearl

[SolidxSnake]

General Tso/Gao/whatever other names it has chicken?

based from tomd's guess :D

[BearLeeAlive]

Did you have Chinese for dinner? Is the picture of sweet and sour chicken?
Not very close at all
candle
Way off
That would be Pearl
Who's Pearl?
General Tso/Gao/whatever other names it has chicken?

based from tomd's guess :D
Not chicken.

Recap
Not sugar - though kinda on the right track
It's hard
Not sweet, but savory
And, I can attest to it being edible. The evidence is now gone. :D

[SolidxSnake]

hard candy that isn't sweet? I know of a kind but i can't remember the name. Plus, I don't think it's candy (i think you said it wasn't earlier)

Honey?



Sweet :(

[BearLeeAlive]

hard candy that isn't sweet? I know of a kind but i can't remember the name. Plus, I don't think it's candy (i think you said it wasn't earlier)

Cough drop?
Not candy, nor a cough drop. It is something you would chew. It is hard but would easily break with your fingers. :)
Honey?
Notta, it isn't sweet.
Sweet :(
See, someone remembered. ;)

[Cindy32550]

[Cindy32550]

Sorry!!! Didn't mean it that way! I was born in MI. Raised in the south though. :) I remember on my grandparents farm, the sap collection from the trees for syrup making. Didn't seem as sweet as what was bought in the store though. Gosh, hope someone identifies this soon! Monty close? You go guy!

[teslamaster]

[BearLeeAlive]

No worries. :D
A ritz cracker, or a muffin
Getting a bit closer on the Ritz, a muffin is soft though.

This item is straight, though often curvy. :)

[Cindy32550]

Biscotti? On the off chance that this is correct. Please, anyone take over. Cannot do anymore from work now, as much as I would rather stay here and play. Will check this eve for the answer. Have a good one all!

[BearLeeAlive]

Nope, this is much smaller.

[dontshootmek]

aahh, i see it now, lol!

[CPT_Obvious]

Well since everyone cheated, what kind of darts are they?

[Chandler.]

Well since everyone cheated, what kind of darts are they?

Well, they're certainly not blow darts, and I don't think they're lawn darts, so I think they must be throwing darts.

[CPT_Obvious]

Well, they're certainly not blow darts, and I don't think they're lawn darts, so I think they must be throwing darts.

Not exactly what I was looking for

[Chandler.]

Not exactly what I was looking for

If you want a clear answer, you've got to ask a clea question. ;)

[CPT_Obvious]

What brand/series (make/model) are they?

[Soc]

LOL nice find, I use the same ExifViewer as you and just realized if I show all info that pops up.

What is that exif reader called?

[Doogiekr]

What is that exif reader called?

Not sure about that one, but I use the one from Opanda (Opanda IExif) and really like it. I think there are a few different ones out on the net though.

[Sprint8]

Opanda is what I use too...

http://www.opanda.com/en/pe/

[SolidxSnake]

What is that exif reader called?


https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905

[Guineh]

Haha, so does Firefox. Gives the whole picture.

Haha, I had no idea! I didn't cheat to get it ... I just recognized the ribs as being the grip on a dart.

I just found out I guessed right, so, I'll have something this evening when I get home.

[Soc]

[Soc]

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905
Oh ok. Thank you.

[Guineh]

OK, Here it is:

[SolidxSnake]

alternative cell phone plastic case?

LOL I'm lost

And no exif to boot :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Ceramics of some sort?

[TheReal7]

ashtray?

[tomd]

coffee grinder?

[Guineh]

All great guesses, all incorrect.

[tomd]

Christmas ornament?

[SolidxSnake]

All great guesses, all incorrect.



I hate you. :evil:

[Chandler.]

Hinge of some plastic-framed glasses?

[dontshootmek]

[jtikompressor]

a watch?

[Guineh]

I hate you. :evil:

:D

Awwwe, no love lost in the SMGG...

No correct guesses yet, I'm surprised.

OK, the object that appears could have something to do with the current season.

[CPT_Obvious]

Icicle?

[BearLeeAlive]

Tree ornament

[Guineh]

Nope, and nope.

It's a very common item. It could appear in other seasons as well.

[Reed Goodwin]

Candle?
Reed

[CPT_Obvious]

Ceramic potpourri pot?

[dontshootmek]

Icicle? thats what i was gonna say, but noticed his location was dallas, texas :lol:

[Guineh]

Not ceramic, definitely not water based. Stick to it, I'm sure you people can figure it out.

[jr#8]

looks like a lock washer to me

[Guineh]

Not a washer. Sometimes it has magic properties.

[Cindy32550]

Hail? Other seasons, hmmmmm.

[Soc]

Magic 8 ball inside thing

[Lawrie B]

Windcatcher (Dreamcatcher)?

[Lawrie B]

Wind Chime?

[Lawrie B]

Wreath?

[Guineh]

Think about an aged alcoholic beverage. The item you're looking at is made of plastic. It's very much in use this time of year.

[Lawrie B]

Wine or Port Keg?

[-Pleiades-]

ladel for punch?

[Dave.H]

Wine Glass?

[Guineh]

A plastic wine glass? Oh, man ... that's high class .. :lol: But, alas, incorrect.

There are more clues buried in my previous replies.

[Dave.H]

A Plastic Egg Nogg Decanter :p

[Guineh]

Object cannot contain a liquid. There is an aged alcoholic beverage that shares a name with this object.

[Doogiekr]

Scotch tape dispenser?

[Guineh]

Scotch tape dispenser?

Yup. Specifically the little plastic tab that holds the tape in. Obviously, my last clue was a dead give-away.

229598

Doogiekr: You're up!

[Doogiekr]

Yeah, the clue was what did it... I am leaving work now, will post something as soon as I arrive home.

[Doogiekr]

Sorry for the delay, here is my latest submission... not sure if its too easy or too hard. Guess we will find out soon enough :)

http://www.skygray.com/potn/Macro1.jpg

[40d]

Knife sharpener?

[Doogiekr]

Knife sharpener?

Nope :)

[Doogiekr]

Headed to bed... will check the thread as soon as I wake up.

[40d]

A sliding switch on a er...

[Sprint8]

Lens hood?

[jtikompressor]

a nail file?

[boconnor811]

Staple remover?

[Doogiekr]

A sliding switch on a er...

It is a sliding switch, but on something specific... (not sure what "er" means)

[Doogiekr]

Lens hood?

Not really camera related

[Doogiekr]

a nail file?

Nope, I think the texture is tricky because of the macro :)

[Doogiekr]

Staple remover?

Nope

[40d]

'er' meant I didn't know on what. How about a sliding switch on a remote control?

[Doogiekr]

'er' meant I didn't know on what. How about a sliding switch on a remote control?

Not a remote... but it is on something that many people have.

[Chandler.]

Ipod hold switch

[Soc]

Ipod hold switch
I think you got it

[Doogiekr]

Ipod hold switch


I think you got it


Yup, thats what it is

Chandler is up next :)

[Matoch]

Wow I've had a few ipods but there is no way that I would have figured that one out.

James

[Doogiekr]

Yeah... I didn't even notice the texture on the slider until I brought it up in the computer.

[CPT_Obvious]

Well?

[Sprint8]

Chandler has been online every day. I guess he forgot about this game?

[Doogiekr]

I'd say its up for grabs for anyone... I did the last one soI will let someone else go

[SolidxSnake]

I call it, i'll post soon.

[SolidxSnake]

mine :)

[Sprint8]

Shutter release on a camera?

[-Pleiades-]

button

[Lawrie B]

Button on top of a camera

[Corejonp1]

almost looks like if you took apart a hard drive, where the platter attaches to the spindle. Maybe I am looking waaaay to into it. on second thaught, not soo much a harddrive, but maybe a disk of some other type.

[Dave.H]

Its a 3.5" floppy disk!

[SolidxSnake]

No buttons, nothing directly camera related but is very closely indirectly related.

I want specifics. Corejon was close.

[monty28428]

Microdrive...

[SingingSabre]

It looks like a small speaker to me.

[SolidxSnake]

Microdrive...



Bingo. My 5GB Seagate Microdrive (1.8" Hard Drive in a CF form factor - ATA) torn apart. I got the drive from my friend's MP3 player that was busted (Creative Zen Micro) and I was planning on using it on my 20D. It didn't work at all, wasn't being read in the camera or my multiple computers, all it did was heat up excessively. I deemed it dead and tore it apart soon after. I take apart hard drives, they're pretty nifty :)
