The super macro guessing game (2)

[tomd]

WaHooo...I haven't won a SMGG in a while!

Very nice picture lavanut!

Unfortunately I am out of town and away from my photo drive,
OPEN for ANYONE to POST

[Chet]

WHAT? C'mon Tom get with the program here. You don't have some toe jam to shoot with a camera phone that you could post?

[Chet]

Ok, here's a fast post.

[BearLeeAlive]

Sieve/strainer

[Chet]

[aseainthesky]

Yup.

This should be an easy one, but it was a last minute one.

[40d]

A football (read soccer ball), handball or volleyball. Brand looks like it could be Spalding.

[aseainthesky]

You're up 40d!

[40d]

Cool :) Give me an hour...

edit: another 10-20 minutes and I'll have one up...

[40d]

Here ya go...

[alexanderGARDNER]

Seat belt?

[40d]

Seat belt?

Nope.

[lavanut]

shoe lace/string

[tomjd]

spool of twine?

[tomjd]

or a spool of thread?

[Daniel2000]

+1 :)

[bara03]

Velcro?

[40d]

or a spool of thread?

That was quick. You're up Tom.

[tomjd]

Awesome. Thanks, I love this "thread".....sorry, couldn't resist.;)
Don't think this one will take long at all:

[40d]

Toothbrush?

[tomjd]

Toothbrush?
Yep
http://www.pbase.com/tomjd99/image/108484838.jpg

[40d]

Nice, cheers. I've been brushing up on my macro spotting skills ;)

Will have something up within an hour or so...

[Chet]

Great, hope to see something in 32 minutes or so.

[40d]

Here we go:

[Skrim17]

Feather

[40d]

Feather

Nope.

[tkbslc]

I'm guessing the green is from a circuit board of some kind.

[40d]

I'm guessing the green is from a circuit board of some kind.

Yep, you're up. I knew the color was going to give it away. Bonus points for anyone that can tell what the device is. We all have at least one.

[tkbslc]

Oh, I won? :)

I stink at macros so this is probably easy if you know someone who uses these:

[irispatch]

CD case

[lavanut]

Yep, you're up. I knew the color was going to give it away. Bonus points for anyone that can tell what the device is. We all have at least one.

video or network card?

[tkbslc]

CD case

not even close! :)

[DrMitch]

Geeze, looks like an agar DNA gel plate...

[40d]

LED panel from something?

[tkbslc]

Geeze, looks like an agar DNA gel plate...

I don't know what that is, so no.
It's not an LED.

[DrMitch]

Pregnancy test???

[tkbslc]

I removed my clue, cause I though it would make it easier, but no it isn't a pregnancy test.

You are getting close. The red stuff should give it away.

[DrMitch]

Of course, glucose strip test...

[tkbslc]

yeah, I thought the blood would make it easier. But I guess if you aren't around any diabetics....

It was a 100% crop from this image:

[DrMitch]

The hint was a big help too!
This one will likely last for one guess, but it's all I got right now...

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/Macro06.jpg

[webcrawlur]

a marble...

[MKULTRA]

Blown glass?

[alexanderGARDNER]

Water swirling down the plug hole

[aseainthesky]

Light bulb?

[Nistelrooydude]

Yeah it's either a marble or one of those bigger glass orbs with those patterny/designy things inside.

[DrMitch]

Blown glass?

Yeah it's either a marble or one of those bigger glass orbs with those patterny/designy things inside.

Glass orb - Nisterooydude was more specific, so I'll give him the win!

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/IMG_3040.jpg

[Nistelrooydude]

Oh, sweet. MKULTRA, you guessed it first, so I don't want to steal it from you. You're up if you want, but I'll get one ready just in case.

[Nistelrooydude]

Uhhh...actually I just realized that I'm going away until Tuesday, so if MKULTRA or anyone else wants to post, that'd be good.

[MKULTRA]

I'll get one up soon

[MKULTRA]

http://i40.tinypic.com/29dz15i.jpg

[tkbslc]

Looks like money to me

[MKULTRA]

Damn, thought it'd last longer than that.. USA $1 bill.
all yours.

[tkbslc]

Let's try this one.

[kidgetup]

hmm. Looks like fruit. A peach or nectarine?

[40d]

A pile of donuts or funnel cake?

[jr#8]

ear

[irispatch]

Naval Orange

[MKULTRA]

A pile of donuts or funnel cake?
Definitely looks like some sort of fried dough

[tkbslc]

None right so far.

[Chet]

Pumpkin / Squash?
Twinkies?

[icon134]

Cheetos!!!

hrm... all this food talk is making me hungry...

[tkbslc]

OKay, I hate draggin these things out, so here's a hint.

You guys are on the right track with food.

[Chet]

A train?

[tkbslc]

No it's food. It wasn't a riddle or anything involving "track" :)

[tomjd]

macaroni & Cheese?

[icon134]

is it waffles?

[irispatch]

Cream puff,
Honey nut cereal

[tkbslc]

Sorry, no correct guesses yet..

[Chet]

Fortune cookie?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Sopapilla

[BearLeeAlive]

Bun

[irispatch]

Fried wonton

[Daniel2000]

an orange?

[tkbslc]

I didn't think this was that hard!!

I'll post a bit more of the image if nobody gets it within a few hours.

[irispatch]

French fries

[aseainthesky]

Pumpkin, carrot, apricot or a mango?

[lavanut]

Something about the part in the lower right makes me think of a cough drop or hard handy, but nothing else about the image does. I think that bottom right part is important to determining what this is. Am I on the right track or a wild goose chase?

[tomjd]

dumpling?

[Chet]

Cereal or pudding?

[Chet]

apples?

[tkbslc]

Obviously this is harder than I thought. I'll give you a little bit more to go off of:

[Daniel2000]

it's in a glass container but I have no idea what it is

[Nistelrooydude]

Goldfish (the crackers, not the swimming things)?

[tkbslc]

Yep, goldfish crackers in a glass jar.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

bell pepper?

[Chet]

eRRR Jeff, looks like it was gold fish crackers in a glass jar. ;)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Shows how well I read, huh?! LOL my bad.

[Nistelrooydude]

Oh, hey I won. I'll get one up as quick as possible.

[Chet]

Ok.

[jr#8]

Whats taking so long should have had one up hours ago. Man what a waste of time sittin around waitin

[Nistelrooydude]

Sorry guys, I forgot. Here you go, it should be pretty simple.

[GCGuy]

clock gear?

[GCGuy]

film reel?

[Nistelrooydude]

No and no.

[Chet]

Wow pretty cool, what is it?

[Nistelrooydude]

Wow pretty cool, what is it?

It's a...hey, wait a minute. :)

[Chet]

Worth a try. ;)

[GCGuy]

Part of a bike?

[Nistelrooydude]

Worth a try. ;)

Almost had it too.

[Chet]

Part on a typewriter?

[Chet]

A release on something?

[Nistelrooydude]

Not a bike, not a typewriter. What kind of release?

[Chet]

Model release?

[GCGuy]

Spool on a fishing reel?

[Nistelrooydude]

I don't know what a model release is, so no. But fishing reel...also wrong.

[GCGuy]

Archery release? (like for a bow)

[Nistelrooydude]

Yeah, that's me, master archer. Try again. ;)

[GCGuy]

Release on a winch so you can pull the line out by hand?

[Nistelrooydude]

Its got nothing to do with the capture or luring of fish.

[GCGuy]

I was thinking like on the front of a Land Rover, but how about a release mechanism on a tripod that holds a camera?

[Nistelrooydude]

Nope. It's not really a release, sorry for pointing you guys the wrong way.

[Chet]

How about a spring loaded thingy?

[GCGuy]

How about a gizmo of some sort ;)

[aseainthesky]

Is it the tire of a toy car?

[GCGuy]

Film winder?

[GCGuy]

Wheel or rim of some sort?

[Nistelrooydude]

What kind of gizmo? ;)
So far no winners.

[GCGuy]

and you said it'd be easy!is it some sort of equipment, or more like a toy?

[Nistelrooydude]

Not a toy, sorry. And yeah, I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought.

[GCGuy]

Part of the burner on a gas grill?

[GCGuy]

Or part of a burner for a stove in the house?

[Nistelrooydude]

All over the place, huh? :) Sorry, it's not a grill.

[Nistelrooydude]

Nor a stove.

[GCGuy]

Part of a lamp?

[Nistelrooydude]

Not a lamp either. And I think that concludes my participation for tonight. You'll get your answers in 10 hours.

[zeva]

gear of sometype?

[-Pleiades-]

gas cooker?

[irispatch]

Pretty clean no signs of wear. Yet it is a release to something.... It is round.

Part of a printer? Lable maker?

[Nistelrooydude]

Not camera gear, a gas cooker, or a printer. Sorry, guys.

[russ_hillis]

some sort of detent mechanism - door lock / cylinder maybe? Kind of looks like an door lock cylinder part, but it loos far too fragile.

[Nistelrooydude]

Nope, not a door lock.

[Nistelrooydude]

I'm thinking a hint perhaps. Okay, all of you probably have one pretty close by as you're reading this.

[jgrussell]

I'm thinking a hint perhaps. Okay, all of you probably have one pretty close by as you're reading this.The innards of a computer mouse.
