[BearLeeAlive]

Varnish on a paint brush bristle.

[Mike Bell]

hmmmm...is it a bit of dew on the stalk of a potted plant? Thingy? :lol:

Not dew. The stalk was once a plant. And it is a thingy in a wotsit. But which thingy and in what wotsit? :lol:

[Mike Bell]

Varnish on a paint brush bristle.

Nope.

Here is another view:

Good lord...#1 doesn't look like it is part of #2. I had a thought that #1 might be a kite, but now......argh!

[misspix]

Long lost Easter basket?

[Mike Bell]

Long lost Easter basket?

LOL! What imagination! :)

Here is a big clue - remember it's a thingy in a wotsit.

Here is a view of the wotsit:

You're up, Bear Lee Alive!

[Thompsunshine]

[Monkeymicra]

That's 5 mins too late my go. :)

[Monkeymicra]

here ya go, its not my camera so i appologies for the quality of the shot

its probalby going to be really easy

[BearLeeAlive]

Monkeymicra, just a wee bit of trivia on your quote in your sig. You have creditted the wrong person with the quote.

"And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply" is the first line of the song "Signs" released in 1970 and written by Les Emmerson of the Five Man Electrical Band after driving to California along Route 66, where he had noticed the many billboards obscuring his view of the U.S.A, and had seen them as a perfect metaphor for the frustrations of the band and the times they were living in.

Can you tell this is one of the songs I play on guitar......lol

[Pete]

Hmmm... first guess I'd say it's a rack of staples...

yea someone else on this site has said similar, and this is the only site out of about 10 different forums (cars and computers) that im on that has been able to say this, but i head if from fat boy slim as in the song he did (and sampled from the above) its the only lyrics.

[Monkeymicra]

Hmmm... first guess I'd say it's a rack of staples...

correct!!!!

I said it was easy

Pete_30D your up

[Pete]

Nah... I'm leaving this open for someone else. Don't have any macro shots or the time to administer the next round (only got another hour here at work, then I'm at home packing for my break).

Open for anyone else...

[thomascanty]

Wow, Pete. You're on a roll here!

[Pete]

Haha... no, Lonnie, I'm just picking up the easy ones. We don't have those blue candy things over this side of the pond. Over here, they're multi-coloured and far far smaller...

I just listened to the song "Don't Let The Man Get You Down" by FatBoy Slim, and you are absolutely right, he does use this line in the song and it is the only line in this song repeated dozens of times, too funny. :lol:

[Mathiau]

okay, lets try this

[BearLeeAlive]

Actually Pete, those sprinkes are very small, maybe 1mm across and the come in a plethoria of colours, used for decorating cakes and the such.

[Pete]

Ah.. they looked bigger in your picture....

[chansh]

Could that be a copper coin.

[BradT0517]

a computer heat sink of some sort i got beat to the copper coin

[Mike Bell]

A very scratched CD?

[Citizensmith]

Some kind of tennis ball, battery, frog thingy. Probably with a hole.

[Mathiau]

No, No, and No, Oh, and No :)

it is the key to stability.....and life is fast!

[Thompsunshine]

No, No, and No, Oh, and No :)

it is the key to stability.....and life is fast!

Say huh?

With that hint I would say a automobile suspension! ROFL

[SoaringUSAEagle]

It almost looks like hair but that reflection/light whatever in the bg throws me off.... Hmmm key to stability... a light of some sort?

The key to your bike/car?

[BullittMan]

LOL, I was just getting one ready to post, was just attaching the image when your email notice came through. Great minds think alike........;)

On that note I guess a sunflower

[chansh]

I knew it would be too easy.
Well, it's your turn Jim.

[BradT0517]

[BearLeeAlive]

I knew it would be too easy.

This one is easy too. It will be known to all members as to what it is.

Wild guess - part of a bicycle??

[jr#8]

a beatels leg

[BearLeeAlive]

Wild guess - part of a bicycle??
You will all know what this is. Not part of a bicycle but it is a very simple mechanical thing
jumper cables?
Nothing to do with electricity
a beatels leg
Not part of a living thing

[viper91180]

top of a hammer head?

[BearLeeAlive]

top of a hammer head?
Nope, remember the item itself uses a simple mechanical action.

[viper91180]

is the red thing part of it? like a base? if so im thinking it may be a lever or somesort, like a jack handle or something?

[Skrim17]

a folding chair?

[BearLeeAlive]

is the red thing part of it? like a base? if so im thinking it may be a lever or somesort, like a jack handle or something?
You are most definitely headed on the right track. Not a jack handle.
a folding chair?
Not a chair Crissa.

Remember this is the Super Macro Guessing Game. This image is about 1/4"x3/8" (6x9mm) in size

[BradT0517]

a neck strap

A hammer is a lever
A lever is a simple machine

[tracer bullet]

Looks like a crowbar, the shape to give strength and the little bit of missing paint. But a crowbar would be much bigger...

[BearLeeAlive]

a neck strap

A hammer is a lever
A lever is a simple machine
Yes, but no mechanical action to it alone
Looks like a crowbar, the shape to give strength and the little bit of missing paint. But a crowbar would be much bigger...
Same with a crowbar, no mechanical action to it

As a clue, I used this on Friday evening. We had guests over for dinner.

[AirBrontosaurus]

A wine bottle de-corker thingy?

You're up (again) BearLee

[BradT0517]

Gah I should have known that

[BearLeeAlive]

Here is another one that everyone will know (at least once the truth comes out)

I thought I had posted this already but it seems not, must have reviewed and not hit reply or sumpin'

[misspix]

It's sumpin with a hole!

[AirBrontosaurus]

A crusty ol' gummy bear ;)?

[BearLeeAlive]

You are on the right track with an edible thing.

Remember S stands for SuperMGG, the actual size of this image is 1/8"x1/8" max. You girls really should get this, and I am looking for specifics....;)

[cfpackerfan]

Well, I thought maybe it was a mini doughnut. :oops:

[Matoch]

Is it toffee?

James

[BearLeeAlive]

Well, I thought maybe it was a mini doughnut. :oops:
It might be in a mini doughnut
Is it toffee?
No toffee

The colour folks, kinda obvious but I want specifics

[cfpackerfan]

It might be a mini doughnut?? What kind of twisted hint is that? LOL ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

It might be a mini doughnut?? What kind of twisted hint is that? LOL ;)
I said "It might be in a mini doughnut". I wasn't trying to be twisted, though it often seems that way.....:lol:

[cfpackerfan]

"It might be in a mini doughnut".

:shock: So THAT"S what a calorie looks like up close?!?!!? WOW.

[Citizensmith]

Part of a donut hole?

[BearLeeAlive]

:shock: So THAT"S what a calorie looks like up close?!?!!? WOW.
LMAO, you are not to far from the truth.:lol:

Hmmm, brown coloured and calories, what ever could it be?:rolleyes:

[BradT0517]

chocolate center
cherry center filling

[BearLeeAlive]

Part of a donut hole?
Much, much smaller

[BearLeeAlive]

chocolate center
cherry center filling
Kinda moving in the right direction, but cherry, when have you ever seen a brown coloured cherry.....:p

[thomascanty]

Brown sugar granule?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Aha! Is it carmel?

[cfpackerfan]

I dont know what it is, but it makes me want a piece of chocolate. ;)
Mmmmmm.

[BearLeeAlive]

Brown sugar granule?
Nope, 'tis bigger than that.

[BearLeeAlive]

Here is a bigger image, any bigger and I will have to show the whole thing..........:lol:

112204

[thomascanty]

Chocolate sprinkle?

[BearLeeAlive]

I dont know what it is, but it makes me want a piece of chocolate. ;)
Mmmmmm.
Really, really warm.
But I want specifics.............:lol: :lol: :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Chocolate sprinkle?
Not a sprinke

[BearLeeAlive]

Doesn't that curly looking thing mean anything to anyone?

[thomascanty]

Chocolate chip!

[chansh]

I'm not very good at this.
Still don't have a clue.:(

[cfpackerfan]

Yep, it's a chocolate chip! :) ;) :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

Chocolate chip!
Ladies and Gents, another winner.............:lol:

Well done Lonnie.

I was surprised how rough they looked close up. Every one outta the bag was the same but you couldn't tell unless you looked real close............

Yeah, but from what lens? :D

j/k... I knew it was too easy. I was hoping someone might think Panasonic, though...

Thank you. Here it is!

[BearLeeAlive]

Glazing on a ceramic piece

[KittyKat1982]

Nope, not ceramic

[Citizensmith]

A candle? A pretty large and intricate one, but could definitely be a candle.

[KittyKat1982]

Not a candle.

[thomascanty]

A very close look at a Salvador Dali painting???

[cfpackerfan]

Looks like dye or paint floating in liquid (like you would use to color easter eggs)

[KittyKat1982]

Citizensmith was sort of on the right track, but it is not a candle. Hope I am not giving it away or anything.

[Skrim17]

Batik?

[KittyKat1982]

nope. I will post another pic in a minute

[KittyKat1982]

http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/468/mg6892xw8.jpg

OK, here you go. Might be easy now.

[Citizensmith]

A plastic lampshade? Not sure why that would have a hole in it like that though.

[KittyKat1982]

Not a lampshade.

[BradT0517]

blown glass

[KittyKat1982]

You are really on the right track Brad. It might even of been blown. It is glass, but what does it do? It has a particular name and function.

[KittyKat1982]

Think along the lines of a candle, but has a different purpose than creating fire to light up a room. The hole is needed for something. This should totally give it away.

[BearLeeAlive]

Christmas Ornament

[cfpackerfan]

Night light cover

[Citizensmith]

You took a macro of your bong?

[BearLeeAlive]

You took a macro of your bong?
LOL, I see what you mean..........;)

[cfpackerfan]

LOL!

[misspix]

:shock: Whatever are you talking about? ROFL!

[misspix]

Oil lamp!

[lakiluno]

candle...holder!

[KittyKat1982]

NOPE! none are right. Sorry. Think burning and smelly and ashes! OK< I had to of given it away now!

[cfpackerfan]

LOL...I know what it is now, but I have to leave, so I wouldnt be able to effectively play my part, so I will pass on guessing.

[BearLeeAlive]

NOPE! none are right. Sorry. Think burning and smelly and ashes! OK< I had to of given it away now!
Back to the bong again.......:lol: :lol: :lol:

Incense burner

[Skrim17]

[BearLeeAlive]

ahhh, what you burn AFTER using the bong!
Uh, I dunno what you mean.:o :lol: :lol:

[Citizensmith]

Back to the bong again.......:lol: :lol: :lol:

Incense burner

Don't you mean an "Incense" burner, as in "but mum, all I use it for is to burn incense, its not used for anything else!"

How about some kind of smoke free ash tray thingy?

[BradT0517]

sadly im clueless

[KittyKat1982]

IT is not a bong

[KittyKat1982]
