[BearLeeAlive]

garlic press?
No
the wide blade on a cheese grater
Nope, but moving in the right direction.

This device is something I would imagine everyone has used before.

[Cleo199]

tin snips?

[BearLeeAlive]

tin snips?
Nope, but I would sure be afraid to eat at your house if you use tin snips in food prep. :lol:

[sirsloop]

scissors?

[Cleo199]

I must've missed that clue. LOL

[BearLeeAlive]

scissors?
Nope

Used on food.

[BradT0517]

a knive

[BradT0517]

o a fork

[BradT0517]

a tool thingie.
no that would be a food thingy

[BearLeeAlive]

a knive
Kinda
o a fork
No
no that would be a food thingy
Brad, a guy would describe it as a food device. Thingy is a girly term. ;)

[BradT0517]

ok well then this is a food device

[BearLeeAlive]

ok well then this is a food device
You are right...

... now for a more specific answer. :lol:

[asolie]

A food device thingy... hmm, a toaster? an egg slicer?

[jr#8]

veggie chopper or slicer

[sirsloop]

i use scissors on food...lol...

deli meat slicer?

[Becky N]

Potato peeler?

[BearLeeAlive]

Ding, Ding, Ding

We have a winner, well done Becky.

OK, hopefully this will be easy as it is almost time for me to retire for the night:

[Broncosaurus]

Umm... a nose pad from a pair of glasses?

[Becky N]

Umm... a nose pad from a pair of glasses?

Yes, glad that went quick, as my eyes are slamm'n. Really need to build up a gallary of shots before guessing, but; was just too painful to watch on the potatoe peeler.;)

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/IMG_0147.jpg

[Broncosaurus]

OK, I have one.

Hopefully not to hard.

[photobitz]

Something you found behind the refrigerator?

[Nzshrimper]

sugar

[photobitz]

sugar

I won't be drinking any coffee you've made if you call that sugar! lol

[Broncosaurus]

:D No and No:D I will go as far as to say it has nothing to do with food. I did include a clue in the original post, but I fear it will only make sense after the answer is revealed.

[StewartR]

Sandpaper or a sanding block or an emery board or some other similar smoothing device.

(Slightly off-topic question: Since an emery board would be most likely used by a girl, should it be described as a 'smoothing thingy' rather than a 'smoothing device'? :-))

[jr#8]

brownie

[BearLeeAlive]

granite

[Michael]

Some type of rock?

[sirsloop]

Fools gold!!! (pyrite)

[BearLeeAlive]

Rock candy

[Citizensmith]

gypsum?

[Broncosaurus]

It isn't a mineral. It is a part of a bigger thingy, and it's in my garage.

[StewartR]

It isn't a mineral. It is a part of a bigger thingy, and it's in my garage.Surely you mean it is part of a bigger device. (I'm assuming from your user name and avatar that you aren't a girly...)

[StewartR]

Chamois leather?

[sirsloop]

its the head of a brass (automotive) hammer.

[Broncosaurus]

its the head of a brass (automotive) hammer.
No, that would be mineral, but you are very very close.

[BearLeeAlive]

rubber mallet

[sirsloop]

well technically, verything is made up of some sort of mineral. I thought you meant "not a rock of something". A hammer is basically a brass or iron chunk on a stick :)

So...bet its metallic...anyways....... lets see...

[sirsloop]

is it one of those masonry blades for either a hack saw or rotary saw?

[Broncosaurus]

http://static.flickr.com/85/276993773_7fc620f1af.jpg?v=0

Soft Faced Mallet.
The striking surface is some sort of plastic.

[sirsloop]

christ... who paints a rubber mallet gold and has teh gold paint stick on there?? LOL... you sure thats not a brass hammer?? HAHAH!!


OK Bear... hammertime

[BearLeeAlive]

OK, another easy one to get things going

[BradT0517]

A white plastic device

[BearLeeAlive]

A white plastic device
You are correct....

....now, could you be a wee bit more specific. :rolleyes:

[DanteCaspian]

Oh man, why does that look so familiar? Grrrrrr

[Epluim]

It looks like it's made out of the same material as a wheel....

[BearLeeAlive]

It looks like it's made out of the same material as a wheel....
If you are thinking a plastic wheel, then you are right. ;)

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks like a wheel from a garden fertilizer, but those are pretty big...

[BearLeeAlive]

Looks like a wheel from a garden fertilizer, but those are pretty big...
Bug Boy, you're alive. Haven't seen much of you around.

You are right, this is a macro shot, probably 1/4" or so across.

[BradT0517]

If you are thinking a plastic wheel, then you are right. ;)

O a plastic wheel device

[AirBrontosaurus]

Bug Boy, you're alive. Haven't seen much of you around.

Yup, the cold killed all the bugs, and college is taking up my time. I still try to post here and there, but I'm pretty busy.

[Epluim]

Something from a toolbox?

[MagicallyDelicious]

its a video tape?

[BearLeeAlive]

its a video tape?
No it isn't Sarah.

It is round as is meant to turn though.

[jr#8]

music cassette tape you know after 8 tracks and before CD's

[BearLeeAlive]

music cassette tape you know after 8 tracks and before CD's
Nope.

It is most commonly used my women (not trying to be chauvinistic here ;))

[Broncosaurus]

Something to do with credit cards?

[BearLeeAlive]

Something to do with credit cards?
Well, that sure does fit my last clue, but no, they are not round.

Big Clue: They have been around for a long, long time and used to be made of wood.

[DanteCaspian]

Tinker toy?

[BearLeeAlive]

Something from a toolbox?
I had missed this guess. Normally this is not true, but it could be used for storing this item. My wife uses a fishing tackle box I bought her to store them.

[BearLeeAlive]

Tinker toy?
Good thought, but no.

Remember, most commonly used by women.

[DanteCaspian]

Oh crap, a spool of thread!

[BearLeeAlive]

Oh crap, a spool of thread!

Dante, you got it.

119307

[DanteCaspian]

Why it was so familiar to me and triggered a "toy memory" is because I used to play with them in my moms sewing room when I was a small child! No we were not poor, but the appeal of odd things to me as a child was greater at times then the fancy store bought junk!

[DanteCaspian]

Try this,

[Citizensmith]

A scene from the movie aliens?

[DanteCaspian]

Nope, shot this one myself.

[BearLeeAlive]

petrified beetle

[DanteCaspian]

Not a bug.

[Skrim17]

poop

[BearLeeAlive]

poop
LOL, if it's not right, it should be. :lol:

[DanteCaspian]

You know, when I wrote "not a bug, I was going to put "...and not poo" before someone guesses as much.

[AirBrontosaurus]

potpourri?

[BradT0517]

candle wick

[DanteCaspian]

No to last two.

[aLFaDaRK]

wow I have no idea

a rock? pot maybe? er.. something dead? :lol:

[DanteCaspian]

Hint: It is organic.

[asolie]

Um, a week old unwashed dish?

[sirsloop]

pumpkin

[DanteCaspian]

pumpkin

Not that big.

[sirsloop]

squash

[Thompsunshine]

A croissant found under the sofa. eww

I gotta tell ya that the pic conjures up icky pics in my mind..:-D

[chansh]

A dry fruit.

[BearLeeAlive]

Jerky

[Epluim]

bottom of a shoe?

[Rumjungle]

Booger? Hey, someone had to say it.;)

[DanteCaspian]

A dry fruit.


Fruit yes, but what kind?

[sirsloop]

raisin

[sirsloop]

rotten orange

[sirsloop]

passion fruit!

thats gotta be it.... thats the only green gook I can think of that people would willingly eat

[DanteCaspian]

Well, the colour tone might be a wee bit off, it is more black.

This fruit is a good source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C... comes from the tropics.

[thomascanty]

Banananananananana? (A rotton one)

[cfpackerfan]

DATE

[sirsloop]

VERY ripe pomegranate?

[askjeeves]

a black berry? (if by some miracle i am corrent, someone please take my turn since i do not have any macro shots, and do not check this forum often enough)

[Citizensmith]

DATE

It better not be a date. I really like dates but having seen that image I'm not sure I'd ever enjoy them quite as much again. :)

[DanteCaspian]

Banananananananana? (A rotton one)

Not a rotten one, but it is a banana! The bottom end of the peel.
I am at work right now so I don't have the original photo, but I think most of you can figgure it out. The attached photo is from Google search.

[StewartR]

I think we need to see the original, Dante! Maybe I'm just not very imaginative, but I can't see very much that's particularly banana-like in your picture...

[DanteCaspian]

I will either edit the post once with the original photo when I get home or add a post. It is the very bottom end of the banana peel, that black hard "husk-like" part.

[BearLeeAlive]

I think we need to see the original, Dante! Maybe I'm just not very imaginative, but I can't see very much that's particularly banana-like in your picture...
Try this link (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1205852&postcount=3781)
It is the butt end of a banana I used for a macro on here before.

[thomascanty]

Not a rotten one, but it is a banana!

Wow, really? I was right... :oops:

Sorry, folks. I don't have anything ready right now. I think I'm going to shoot a few macros while at work tomorrow to stock up again. Someone else please step up to the plate and take my place.

[cfpackerfan]

Ok folks. I have to leave in 30 minutes, so make this snappy! :p

[thomascanty]

make this snappy! :p

Is that a clue?

I'd guess, but I don't want to pass twice in a row...

[Citizensmith]

I'd say orange peel, but the shape looks wrong

[cfpackerfan]

That wasn't a clue Lonnie. ;)
Not an orange peel

[sirsloop]

looks like a peach with a chunk missing

[cfpackerfan]

Not a peach. Not fruit at all.

I'm off for a bit. Good luck!

[sirsloop]

it looks like an oversaturated photo of a lower lip with lipstick.

[cfpackerfan]

The color has not been altered in any way.
Not a lip.

Here's a larger section. This photo is only slightly cropped from the original.

[sirsloop]

its a pedal of a flower

[cfpackerfan]

'Tis a petal. Here is the original photo, and the actual flower it was taken from.
You are up sirsloop!

[sirsloop]

here it is!

http://jdhaesloop.com/IMG_8443.JPG

[AirBrontosaurus]

Decorative shell-shaped soap?

[sirsloop]

nope.... although thats what I wanted you to think it was :)

[DanteCaspian]

Got me totaly stumped-- but I will shoot out a wild guess... perhaps some sort of ceramic dish?

[jr#8]

lips/ mouth

[sirsloop]

who's lips?

[Skrim17]

frog lips

[StewartR]

The lips of some sort of fish. Probably a dead fish to make it easier to photograph?

[sirsloop]

i was forced to buy him

[DanteCaspian]

i was forced to buy him

So you are either married and/or have kids.

[sirsloop]

have kids I do not

[cfpackerfan]

frog lips

That isn't as much fun to say as "Lizard Lips", is it, Crissa?? LOL

[cfpackerfan]

have kids I do not

If this is a hint, I'm guessing something to do with Yoda, the Jedi Master. LOL

Help you I can.

[sirsloop]

yeah... i didnt see any way of cluing you guys in that wouldnt be blatenly obvious :)

http://www.jdhaesloop.com/IMG_8443l.JPG

[cfpackerfan]

ROFL! I was so teasing you when I posted that!

OK, I'll have one up shortly.

[Citizensmith]

Wow, I never noticed how freaky Yoda's lips were.

Probably a good thing. Anyone (prior to that macro) who was intimately familiar with Yoda's lips probably is pretty wierd.

[sirsloop]

ROFL! I was so teasing you when I posted that!

OK, I'll have one up shortly.

and thats why this thread rocks! HAHAH:lol:

[cfpackerfan]

OK, I wasn't prepared because I didn't think for a second that it was ACTUALLY Yoda. LOL... so I had to grab whatever was lying around and take a quick snap at it.
I'm afraid that this one might get written down in 'tennis ball hall of fame'. :confused:

but without further ado...

[BradT0517]

a black and red rubber device

[cfpackerfan]

Not a rubber device, not even a rubber thingy.....

[sirsloop]

your pink and black computer chair!

[cfpackerfan]

As cool as that would be, no. I have a dull boring brown suede computer chair.

[sirsloop]

the tag on your thong?


...now if I guessed right THAT would be crazy! HAHAH!

[cfpackerfan]

I don't have any that color. :p

[sirsloop]

no black and pink ones eh... umm... bummer...

something related to tennis? The inside of your tennis racket cover?

[Epluim]

looks like felt or fabric...

[cfpackerfan]

Not related to tennis.
Not felt or fabric.

Well.... I felt it when I took the picture. ;) But that doesnt count.

[cfpackerfan]

I bet you can't guess
So I'll give you a rhyme:
I make such a mess
if you go out of the lines

[BradT0517]

I bet you can't guess
So I'll give you a rhyme:
I make such a mess
if you go out of the lines

thats not a rhyme
Uh paint
crayons
glue
art supplies

[cfpackerfan]

mess and guess rhyme. :p

You are correct. Oh, but which one??

Here's another:
You've guessed more than one
now what do you do?
You hide things like me
from children aged two.
