[Rumjungle]

m&m candy?

[Rumjungle]

Well, I'll be away from the computer for awhile so if I'm right, someone please take my turn. Thanks.

[Mike Bell]

Not candy - to some people I know, this is even better than candy!

[exile]

My wife has just suggested Valium:lol::lol::lol::lol: (Not that she takes it!!!:shock:)

[Mike Bell]

Better than candy AND valium! In fact these are more addictive than either of them!

[TooManyHobbies]

Better than candy AND valium! In fact these are more addictive than either of them!


Well that must be a woman with an "m" tatoo.

[windshadow]

I don't have a clue, what could possible be better than candy? lol

[windshadow]

Ciggarettes? Or its box?

[TooManyHobbies]

More addictive - The "m" from the "The super macro guessing game"

[Mike Bell]

Hmmm ...... come on guys! :rolleyes:

What is it that all of us here love and has m written on it? :)

[Cleo199]

a macro lens?

[Mike Bell]

Now that is better than candy, eh windshadow?

You're up, Cleo!

[Matoch]

Honestly one of the white L lenses was my first idea but I thought the ink for the lettering would have been more crisp. I'm not really sure why.

James

[Cleo199]

I FINALLY GOT ONE! WOOHOO! This one shouldn't take too long, but I am just so proud of the original shot I had to show you this part.....

[Matoch]

Looks like a bug.

James

[Cleo199]

you could have humoured me. LOL yeah, it's part of a bug. but the bug I took the picture of was only a speck on a flower in my garden. I made a macro lens to fit on my S40 and got this shot:

[TooManyHobbies]

Make'm tell you what kind of bug. Its a legit part of the game.

[Mike6158]

Bugasorus flowersituponus macropicturitus

[Cleo199]

to me, it's just a bug. I sucked in biology. :)

[Mike6158]

I didn't suck at biology... but it's still just a bug to me too... I excelled at the study of the proper use of male bovine fecal matter though... :)

[Matoch]

How's this?

71338

[Mike6158]

Apricot or something made from an apricot

[Mathiau]

An orange skin?

really bad rash?

quties or something else you might get if you pay for sex?

:D

[jr#8]

orange

[Matoch]

None of the above and Mathiau made me laugh.

James

[chemicalbro]

cake?

[Cleo199]

It appears waxy. Is it a candle?

[Mathiau]

:d i got to be useful for something :)


mmm, looking close it almost looks like the texture of a cheese qiasant? or cheese and something bread like,, (sp)

[exile]

A Yum Yum!

[windshadow]

melted chesse?

[TooManyHobbies]

colby?

[Mike Bell]

pizza?

[Action_Man]

Cheesy puff/watsit ...

[Matoch]

Yes it's a cheeto. I was snacking when my turn came up. Your up action man.

James

[Action_Man]

Woot -:- wont be long ____________ish ...

[Mike6158]

Just wanted to note that the limit on avatars is tiny... not the limit on posted images. We can go all the way up to 800 x with images. Or did someone change the rules to include micro images? :D

Just wanted to get in on the bitchin... :)

[Mike6158]

Tip of a calligraphy pen?

[Action_Man]

All the answers so far are incorrect, as a clue :- its part of a living being ...

[Action_Man]

Its a lot bigger than its actual size :p ...

[exile]

Is it seaweed?

[Mikelangelo]

is it a bug butt?

[Action_Man]

is it a bug butt?

Can you elaborate on that a little ? ...

[Mikelangelo]

not really. :(

What kind of bug has a big, shiny, elongated butt? It's not a spider. It's not an earwig. Beatles have fatter butts.

A wasp? oh... wait phrased as a question: "What is a Wasp Butt?"

[Action_Man]

Technically you are correct with a "bugs butt" so as i`m so kind i`ll give it to you :D ...

[Mikelangelo]

AAHHHHh....eww...ewww..... You're feeding it??!!! What's his name? ;)

[Mike6158]

Part of a caterpillar

[windshadow]

lettuce??

[Mikelangelo]

lettuce??

NOt a catepiller and not lettuce.

[Matoch]

Is it some sort of plant?

No this is not an answer.

James

[Mikelangelo]

Since I was successful with "Is it a bug Butt?" on the last one, yes I will yield that it is a plant. However, I will require something a little more specific to declare a winner. ;) (ooOOOohhhh... and he just "tingles" with POWER!)

[jr#8]

aloe

[Mikelangelo]

crud... I was afraid that would be too easy. You're up Jr#8

[Mathiau]

A thorn on a rose plant? it is a thorn, but what type of plant :)

[Mathiau]

darn it! did refresh this thread :) (i had like 15 tabs open in Firefox with threads to read)

[Mikelangelo]

hehe...happens to me all the time! ;)

[Matoch]

I didn't expect that to be an acceptable answer. I was just trying to limit the options.

James

[Mikelangelo]

I didn't expect that to be an acceptable answer. I was just trying to limit the options.

James

that's cool. I suppose I could have let a few more guesses in, before limiting them. oh well...no biggie. I'm still learning what makes a hard one and what makes an easy one and how long to let the guessing go on. ;)

[jr#8]

Why dont you guys kick this 1 around for a while I'm off to work, Be back at around 5:00 pm EST.

[owein]

[TooManyHobbies]

A satelite?

[Mikelangelo]

[Mathiau]

[Mike6158]

[windshadow]

Its just a big blur with a black blob to me lol I have no idea what it is :(

[sdmaker]

hmmm kick this one around? soccer ball? lol.

[Matoch]

hmmm kick this one around? soccer ball? lol.

You know I think you've got it.

Now when I look at it it definetly looks like some sort of air valve. And combined with the hint a soccerball sounds good. Kinda wish I had thought of that. :)

James

[jr#8]

hmmm kick this one around? soccer ball? lol.
Sdmaker your up.

[Mathiau]

[Mike Bell]

[sdmaker]

headlight



And yahhhh we have a winner!!

[3Turner]

all right, let me see what I can find.

[juneappal]

Wow. That was an excellent one. I had no idea, even after the medium-zoom headlight, but it had enough detail that I felt like I should have known.

[Bindii]

Wow. That was an excellent one. I had no idea, even after the medium-zoom headlight, but it had enough detail that I felt like I should have known.

Thats good, although i was surprised that it stumped everyone for so long..sometimes its the simplest things we tend to overlook...

[Mike6158]

How did you see that????? Hoping it was a really off guess...

Just humor... :) I wasn't serious. But thanks for your concern :D

[juneappal]

Thats good, although i was surprised that it stumped everyone for so long..sometimes its the simplest things we tend to overlook...
I take small solace in that my headlights look absolutely nothing like that. (Frosted glass rectangles would really make for a tough macro!)

[3Turner]

Okay, sorry for the delay. Here we go.

I want to go to Costa Rica... It's the number one place on my list to visit someday.

[juneappal]

Ok here goes - like everyone else, I worry that this will be too difficult. I have a clue picked out, but I will wait to see if someone gets it right away. For now all I will say is that I am 100% positive that everyone will recognize this once they see the larger shot.
