The super macro guessing game

[Thompsunshine]

How about the magnet that keeps the refigerator door closed?

[Guineh]

One of those clips to keep chips or cereals fresh (sorry, I have no idea of the real name ;-) )

If I'm right, somebody else can have a go. I don't have anything ready and it's time to go to bed...

DDA, You're right :) A chip-clip.

Ummm.. whoever wants to go, you're up!

[misspix]

I got nutt'n :( I am sure that Bearlee or Airbront have something evilly simple to taunt us with :D

[BearLeeAlive]

Ok, you asked for it.

Have yourselves way too much fun with this one.

I'm off for about an hour or so, will check back then.

[jr#8]

[Citizensmith]

[BearLeeAlive]

Yes, but I'm a looking for what it says.:lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

is figuring out the name going to give us the item?
It sure is

[BearLeeAlive]

Hint: It is a manufacturers name and they only make variations of one type of thing.

[misspix]

:-? :-? :-? Aaaaaarghhh! Sony???

[BearLeeAlive]

:-? :-? :-? Aaaaaarghhh! Sony???
Nope, but it is 4 letters.

[misspix]

<mumbles under breath; I got your four letters> :D:D:D

[BearLeeAlive]

Everyone has seen one of these items (yes, even those farm girls from Ohio) and this is by far the most popular brand (at least around here). They are even more common than the circular saw.

[BearLeeAlive]

<mumbles under breath; I got your four letters> :D:D:D
I hate to be difficult, but you gotta get the right ones.:lol:;):lol:

[misspix]

Oh fine then:p Dell???

[BearLeeAlive]

[misspix]

Honestly, just tryin to think of four-letter manufacturers:lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

You gotta be sharp get the answer;)

[Rumjungle]

GEM

Doh, didn't read about the 4 letters.

[BearLeeAlive]

GEM
AHEM, that's only 3 letters, we need 4

[BearLeeAlive]

Just to show how nice of guy I am I will post another look at the image, this is sure to give it away.

NOTE: Another image of something on one of our work sites.

[BearLeeAlive]

*sigh*It's gonna be one of those things that make me go "duh";)

[Thompsunshine]

Good grief THAT is an A??????????????????

[misspix]

Sorry Bearlee, didn't see that one! Thanks for the A you big sweetie;)

Guys, I think the third letter is a T= XXTA

[misspix]

I just use tubes, way cheaper and works great

Really? I haven't checked into tubes, have been curious tho.

Are you sure farm girls in Ohio have seen this? Cuz Thompsunshine still doesn't recognize it.

[BearLeeAlive]

OLFA!!!!
We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that even if one did not know what an OLFA knife or utility knife was, they would get it base on the tops and base of the letters.

Holy crap you people are funny. :) :) :) :)
This IS the lighter side of the board fo' shoo:cool:

[Thompsunshine]

YOU GO MISSPIX....I can think of at least ONE thing they wouldn't DARE guess LMAO

[Rumjungle]

My brain hurts...

Jim, that was a good one. You know what threw me off, the scale of the tops and bottoms. Here's what I was staring at::)

[BearLeeAlive]

I never thought about the scale, ok I will next time (if you guys ever give me a next time that is)

[Rumjungle]

Ok, I'm not nearly as tough as Jim is:;)

LEPROSY!

[Thompsunshine]

Snake skin?

Where did everybody go?

[BearLeeAlive]

Where did everybody go?

Me thinks I wore their minds out...lol

[Thompsunshine]

Me thinks you are right Bearly!

[misspix]

*pant, pant*Skipping back and forth between SMGG and TPBM, whew! I think some kinda reptillian or amphibian skin, too.

[Thompsunshine]

Get your picture ready misspix....just in case.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Wow... i was gone for 3 hours and you guys managed to fill up 5 pages. well done :rolleyes: (j/k. you know I love my super macro buddies!!!)

As far as the picture... i'm gonna say either a lobster or a crab. Looks like their shells.

[Rumjungle]

Edit: I forgot to refresh the page. You're right AirBrontosaurus! Well, that wasn't hard at all, was it?

http://i.pbase.com/g4/60/643160/2/63635632.5aKgBrHL.jpg

[Thompsunshine]

The reason we filled up so many pages AirBront is because Mr Macro himself (Bearly) was driving us crazy!

[misspix]

So, no snake, no frog, how bout a turtle?

[BearLeeAlive]

The reason we filled up so many pages AirBront is because Mr Macro himself (Bearly) was driving us crazy!
Wouldn't that be CRAZIER:lol::lol:

[Rumjungle]

Sorry, I changed my post. I forgot to refresh the page.:o

[Thompsunshine]

Uh ohhh misspix...Mr Macro is up again!;-)

[BearLeeAlive]

Ok AirB, I showed them I could be as tough as you, now you show us your soft side.:p

[AirBrontosaurus]

Uh ohhh misspix...Mr Macro is up again!;-)

So wait... who is Mr. Macro? Because you called BearLee Mr. Macro in your last post, but now I'm up! Ah!!1!!11one11!uno! Confusion!!!!

[misspix]

:D Bring it on!

[AirBrontosaurus]

Ok AirB, I showed them I could be as tough as you, now you show us your soft side.:p

alright... i'll have to think of something even women could guess. Hm... this will be tough ;)


KIDDING!!!!

[misspix]

alright... i'll have to think of something even women could guess. Hm... this will be tough ;)


KIDDING!!!!

:twisted:

[BearLeeAlive]

alright... i'll have to think of something even women could guess. Hm... this will be tough ;)


KIDDING!!!!
Oh man, you are in soooo much trouble.....lol

[Thompsunshine]

grrrrrrrr

See the confusion you guys are creating amongst us? Or...could it be I have been around horse manure too long?

[Thompsunshine]

misspix....you better be ready for something reeeeeeeeaaaaaalllly good!

[misspix]

all over it thompsun;)

[Rumjungle]

Exactly how long have you been around horse manure?

[Thompsunshine]

Good. And everyone can call me Sunshine! LOL hmmmm weeeeee're waaaaiiiittttinnngggggg for the next post! LOL

Apparently too long Rummy...too long. lol I only have three horses but the produce mounds of it every day. LOL One horse can produce up to 40 pounds a day! lol That should make everyone drop their sammich! LOLOL

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright. Here ya go.

I think this one will be identifiable. I really tried to make it common:
http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1180/smgg21to9.jpg

Good luck! (ps, if someone gets it on the first guess, just know that I could have made it harder... but i didn't ;))

[Thompsunshine]

Hey misspix...I think we have just be insulted! lol

[Rumjungle]

40 lbs?!? I thought I was bad.;)

[misspix]

pfft...insult, minshult. I am going to take my time <nose in air> and ponder the latest post of obvoius geniousity ;)

[Thompsunshine]

Just like you misspix...you always take the high road. As for me........

[AirBrontosaurus]

Hey misspix...I think we have just be insulted! lol

No! No! I was actually trying to be nice (shock and awe). I understand that a lot of my SMGG submissions are techie stuff that many girls are simply not inclined to use. I tried to be more general!

I try to be nice and I drive the girls away. I guess nice guys really do finish last...

[misspix]

Ah, Airbront, I just playin'...I like what you and Bearlee do, makes me stretch out the 'ol gray matter ;)

[Thompsunshine]

That is true AirBront and I was mistaken. I'm sorry! :-D

But you are right...a lot of this stuff we don't come in contact with regularly...like circular saws? But I do use my cutting knife regularly...but I get mine at the dollar store! LOL

One eensy weensy question AirBront....this is common for whom?

[cfpackerfan]

techie stuff that many girls are simply not inclined to use

OH MAN! this is SOOOO going to get you in trouble!!!!


LOL LOL LOL:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You may as well just stop diggin your hole now hon.

[Thompsunshine]

Ok. I am going to guess....but I know it's wrong. A window frame LOL (It was the only thing that I could think of that might have what appears to be red crushed velvet on the edge) lol

edit: Which begs the question...what is he doing with red crushed velvet curtains?

[misspix]

Heya Cat, now who's two timin', hmmmm ;)

[misspix]

Okay, gonna guess: The bottom or top of a Christmas ornament

[cfpackerfan]

no two-timin' here Terri, I'm just lookin out for you, ya know? ;)

[AirBrontosaurus]

misspix is closest... sort of.

hint's come tomorrow.

keep guessing.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I do not have crushed velvet curtains... yet ;).

[misspix]

no two-timin' here Terri, I'm just lookin out for you, ya know? ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: What a pal!

[misspix]

misspix is closest... sort of.

hint's come tomorrow.

keep guessing.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I do not have crushed velvet curtains... yet ;).

OOOOOOh, the macro thickens...hmmm
Really glad about the curtains *shudder*

[Thompsunshine]

psst misspix and cf...have you two noticed the lack of guessing amongst the guys? I think they are sitting back and letting us sweat!

[misspix]

Sunshine..you may be right! I think it's because they don't want to be shown up, tho ;)

[Thompsunshine]

You think that's it? LOL I dunno....

I do think that for the most part that we see things differently...literally. It is pretty interesting I think that these guys can see a little tiny piece of something and figure it out. For instance, I STILL don't see the chip clip in that one post. argh!

[DDA]

more than 100 posts in 1 night! You did a great job guys!!! But I have no idea of what this stuffy (notice the variation on thingy :lol: ) is...

[Guineh]

the back of a button?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Not a button.

Hint eins: misspix was close in that this is a celebration item, but it isn't only for Christmas.

[Thompsunshine]

I don't suppose it is a candle.

[AirBrontosaurus]

I don't suppose it is a candle.

nope... although candles are on the right track.

[BearLeeAlive]

Wrapping paper?

[Guineh]

One of those adhesive-backed bows

[AirBrontosaurus]

One of those adhesive-backed bows

Correct!

You're up, MRaiford!

[Guineh]

Here it is :)

Hints tomorrow if no one guesses.

Oh, and be specific.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Is it one of those filter dealies you put in your fishtank?

[Mike Bell]

A compressed dried fruit bar - raspberry and blueberry since you said "be specific"! :p

[Thompsunshine]

awww C'mon guys! Be a sport...How can I possibly improve my maco identification skills if you do not post the whole picture? Argh! Pretty Please? With sugar on top???????

[Thompsunshine]

Wow Mike...you see things I certainly don't. I think it looks like a cut away view of blacktop! ROFL

I can see my skills aren't improving.

[JSolie]

Almost looks like metal shavings off of a metal lathe... Either that or or a scrubbing pad

[BearLeeAlive]

Sanding block

[misspix]

*pounding head against wall* And I thought it couldn't get any more obscure :D How 'bout...a magnet?

[BearLeeAlive]

Fingernail file.

[Thompsunshine]

These are all really good guesses. It looks like all of them I think. But, I think AirBront's is the best guess and it is called a carbon filter. LOL But I bet we are all wrong. grr

[Guineh]

BearLeeAlive: You're closest: You're on the right track.

[BearLeeAlive]

How about a belt sander cleaning pad

[jr#8]

emery paper.

[misspix]

How bout plain ol sandpaper? Don't you dare make me guess the grain:razz:

[Thompsunshine]

I will combine two previous guesses of fingernail file and emery paper and I will say an emery board.

pssst Who IS emery anyway?

[Guineh]

Sheesh, how close do you have to be and not get it. Yes.. its abrasive :) not emery, sandpaper or anything like that, though.

Belt sander cleaning pad is an interesting choice, but... no.

[webcrawlur]

It looks like a griddle cleaning block, haven't seen or used one in many years though.:)

[jr#8]

pumis stone

[Guineh]

Not pumice. Has nothing to do with griddles.

[Michael]

One of those things you sharpen a knife on??

[jr#8]

grinding wheel or sharpening stone

[BearLeeAlive]

C'mon man, a hint, a wee bit bigger image. You just have a need to be meaner than AirB, don't ya? (ok, and me too).:evil:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[DigitalMDX]

One of those sponge sandpaper blocks? or perhaps a BBQ cleaning pad?

[BearLeeAlive]

One of those sponge sandpaper blocks? Ya, I tried that one and it didn't work
or perhaps a BBQ cleaning pad? This sounds like a good idea

[form]

Well since it's abrasive, it can't be grey foam. And since it's perfectly square, it can't be steel wool. And since it's not a uniform pattern, it can't be the uniform part of a rasp...but it could be the grained part of a rasp. It is metallic, and it is square.

Is it a rasp?

How about a head for a dremel tool?

[jr#8]

dressing stone
