Easy-peasy one to get us going again:

Something squeezy?

[KittyKat1982]

wax? Candle or crayon?

[Matoch]

wax? Candle or crayon?


I think you are right. That's what my first guess was when I saw it.

James

[chansh]

My guess also.

But it could be a clown's red nose.

[KittyKat1982]

I think you are right. That's what my first guess was when I saw it.

James

We shall see. I am usually not right, so you might want to guess something else. ;)

[StewartR]

Can I play? It's a red pepper that's had the stalk and core removed.

[Mike Bell]

Something squeezy?
Lonnie has correctly spotted my first clue - yes, it is squeezy. But what is it? :D

wax? Candle or crayon?
no

I think you are right. That's what my first guess was when I saw it.

James
she's not right! :lol:

My guess also.

But it could be a clown's red nose.
no

We shall see. I am usually not right, so you might want to guess something else. ;)
Well ............ guess then!

Can I play? It's a red pepper that's had the stalk and core removed.
Anyone can play. Not a red pepper.

CLUE 2: You use it to look after something very dear to you.

[KittyKat1982]

a ball

[Mike Bell]

a ball
No.

Clue 1: Squeezy.
Clue 2: You use it to look after something dear to you.
Clue 3: If you don't use it and you post a photo in the forums, someone always notices!

[Thompsunshine]

Oh for heaven's sake Mike! Your clues are worse than mine! ROFL I have ABSOLUTELY no idea! geesh

[BearLeeAlive]

I never thought of that. I see it all the time and never would of guessed it.

[Skrim17]

I need a hint Jim.

[aLFaDaRK]

hmm that's a toughy, looks almost like a lock or a key?

[BearLeeAlive]

Can't give too many clues on this one without giving it away, but....

They are used on many different things.

[BradT0517]

wood
paint

[aLFaDaRK]

my first guess would have been paint, but it looks too hard

so maybe a tool of some sort? Such as pliers? I have no clue :D

[BearLeeAlive]

hmm that's a toughy, looks almost like a lock or a key?
Sorry, I had to run, never saw your post.

You got it, it's a key. Now show us a tougher on.....;)

[Brand_X]

what was the shutter speed?

or maybe a plasma ball?

[aLFaDaRK]

Shutter speed I forget exactly, probably about 8-15 seconds

and it's not a spinning top, but it is spinning
and not a plasma ball, but also close

[thomascanty]

Turntable/record player?

[aLFaDaRK]

[cfpackerfan]

A yo yo

[Brand_X]

[jr#8]

[aLFaDaRK]

[Thompsunshine]

[photobitz]

Aarrrgghh my eyes!!! It burns!!! It burns!!!

[Mike Bell]

C'mon BrandX - we need our fix! :D You're up! :)

[Brand_X]

ok here it is.

[Brand_X]

rahter easy im sorry about that but like I said not much i can photograph here :(

[photobitz]

LOL. more of your m16?

[Brand_X]

nope more important! :)

[Mike Bell]

Sheesh! - what could be more important to a US Marine than his firearm?

........... your radio?

[Brand_X]

LOL funny you should say that. I am a radio opperator. but no even though its not agenst the law most people dont like you taking pictures of CCI gear.

[photobitz]

nope more important! :)

More important eh?

Your crotch armour?

[Brand_X]

ummm crotch armour? no. They stuff they give us isnt that great. I thin piece of kevlar that may stop a 9mm but your buys will most ashuridly be crushed into oblivion. No holes but the cosistency of jello would make me want to hope for death.

It is a fighter though. Can help tackel one of the big problems out here.

[Mike Bell]

Is it on a electronic device like a television?

Not so much an electronic device (nice manly word, that), more a component (.......that's man-speak for a do-dah that you put in a thingy, girls).

Here is another view of the same object:

http://static.flickr.com/94/267103327_1260677dee_o.jpg

I bet everyone here has at least one of these.

[BearLeeAlive]

(.......that's man-speak for a do-dah that you put in a thingy, girls)

How about a cooling fan for your CPU or tower.

[photobitz]

Chipset or GPU?

[Citizensmith]

I don't even ake a guess myself if I can't get a macro up for guessing within an hour or so. I don't like to slow things up.
