Ro1

[nitsch]

There should be a rule about no duplicates. LOL! *shakes fist*

[DanStephens]

I disagree that almost every house has one...lol

[roanjohn]

AARGGGGHHH!!!! Missed it!!!

I don't own a dog so I never would've guessed........

Ro1

[nitsch]

Ok here we go, hopefully this one will be a little bit more challenging than my previous pityful toothbrush effort! :o :lol:

Get guessing:

[Michaelmjc]

SOMEONE DID THE DOG PAW ALREADY!!

There should be a rule about no duplicates. LOL! *shakes fist*

haha sorry, I didn't want to read through 50 pages before I posted though. :lol:

[RMc]

Nothing to do with scales or little critters :D

Dogs are little critters.

[nitsch]

haha sorry, I didn't want to read through 50 pages before I posted though. :lol:

He's got a point LOL!

Anyway, if someone duplicates it should be nice and easy 2nd time around! :lol:

[roanjohn]

Is that a ruler??

Ro1

[nitsch]

Sorry buddy but it's not.

[roanjohn]

Sorry buddy but it's not.

THEN WHAT IS IT?!!!!?!!!!

j/k..........trick question.............:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ro1

[nitsch]

THEN WHAT IS IT?!!!!?!!!!

j/k..........trick question.............:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ro1

LOL are you trying to catch me out and get me to give up the answer?! ;)

I'll give you a clue which will be of no help whatsoever: It's not a ruler or any other kind of measuring device.

[Spirit]

Some sort of writing (ink) on a piece of paper?

[nitsch]

No its not anything written on paper.

[nitsch]

Do you guys want a cryptic clue?

I would imagine quite a few people on this forum would have one of these (however it's not photo related).

But, you cannot buy it.

:D

[roanjohn]

a tablet???

Ro1

[Michaelmjc]

blue highlighter on white paper?

You cant buy it? then how do you get it? :rolleyes:

[Spirit]

I'd ask if it's a receipt, but you already said it's not paper...

[nitsch]

Ok nobody's close. Its too cryptic at the minute here's a bit more to go on:

http://www.nitsch.co.uk/photos/macroguess2.jpg

Another clue:

When I said I imagine quite a few people on the forum might have one, my reasoning was based on a career path which is quite common if you look at any of the "what is your job" threads.

:D

[jforget1]

Some sort of styrofoam container

[Michaelmjc]

another clue?

[nitsch]

Ok, you can wear it.

You can't buy this specific item, you are sent it by an organisation which everyone here will have heard of LOL but nevertheless they are common.

[Angel_LCD]

nametag ?

[BearLeeAlive]

food container

[roanjohn]

Visa???

Ro1

[Michaelmjc]

Ahh this is such a hard one! You wear it?

some sort of uniform? i give up lol

Visa? you dont wear visa's silly :lol:

[jforget1]

some sort of helmet, maybe a cycling helmet

[nitsch]

Hehe! I'm glad its hard but maybe its a bit too hard!

Forget about getting the specific item and just guess the type of thing it is.

You can wear it, but it is only worn with another specific item of clothing.

Here is some more of it:

http://www.nitsch.co.uk/photos/macroguess3.jpg

[BearLeeAlive]

Press pass

[nitsch]

Nope.

[CyberPet]

A name tag for a doctor/nurse.

[nitsch]

Sorry Cyberpet, it's not that either.

It's quite small.

[CyberPet]

But it's some type of tag or pin? Darnit, I wish I could guess the text... like "Personal" something at the bottom.

[jforget1]

Is this what belt buckles look like in the UK?

[nitsch]

Cyberpet is so close with one of her guesses I'll almost give it to her. Can you be more specific though?

[CyberPet]

Oh, you are torturing me Nick!! It looks like a tag for some approve personel, but it's quite small you say, so it has to be a pin. I'm throwing out ideas here, military, police.. heck even a minister or something. :D It looks like it's something you wear on your neck collar of your suit or shirt.

[BearLeeAlive]

nitsch,
You better tell Petra or you might see the white of her knuckles coming through your screen.......lol

[nitsch]

You are so close it hurts! :D

Pin is correct but its not for a collar or lapel.

[CyberPet]

aaaaargh, but where do you else put a pin on? jacket pocket? bag? shoe? TIE!!!!

[nitsch]

YEY!!!!! :D

It's a tie pin. Well done Cyberpet.

More specifically its from Microsoft, hence my clue about not being able to buy it and it being from a career that a lot of people on here seem to be involved in ie. IT.

Maybe it wasn't such a great object to choose but it was just lying about on my desk and I figured it'd keep you all guessing!

http://www.nitsch.co.uk/photos/macroguess4.jpg

[CyberPet]

If hubby had gotten his Microsoft kit it'd been soo much easier!!! (he's on his way getting his MSCSE, but have only MCPP+ now). So I guess I'm up!! *thinks up an evil picture*

[BearLeeAlive]

nitsch,
You need to take some clue giving classes......lol

I'm sure you had everyone looking around their homes looking for this. I would bet less than 2% of the people here have one.

I sure hope Petra is not going to be as evil as you...lol

[nitsch]

Hehe! Look forward to seeing your pic Petra! :D

[nitsch]

nitsch,
You need to take some clue giving classes......lol

I'm sure you had everyone looking around their homes looking for this. I would bet less than 2% of the people here have one.

I sure hope Petra is not going to be as evil as you...lol

Maybe you're right but I didn't say everyone had one, I said I would imagine a lot of peeps on here would have them. Maybe I was wrong? :(

Sorry if I made it harder with my clues! But I couldn't make it too easy could I? ;) :D

[BearLeeAlive]

It was just fine Nick, I am only whining.......

[CyberPet]

OK, here's my evil picture (it *might* be an easy one)

http://the-halls.se/edited/macro/new_guess.jpg

[Angel_LCD]

Cellphone ?

[BearLeeAlive]

PDA

[CyberPet]

Angel_LCD, close but no cigar.

No PDA.

[Angel_LCD]

hmmmm wireless phone ?

[MattyB]

laptop

[CyberPet]

Angel_LCD, you're sort of on the right track, but I need more specifics.

[MattyB]

hands free.

[CyberPet]

Matty, handsfree what?

[RMc]

I hope it's not a hands free cell phone.

[BearLeeAlive]

Remote control

[jforget1]

Bluetooth Headset

[CyberPet]

RMc, well technically it's not... but you're burning hot now. :D

[RMc]

Are you looking for Mobile Phone?

[CyberPet]

Joe, you got it!!!!!!!

http://the-halls.se/edited/macro/full_image.jpg

[MattyB]

what other hand free's are there :(
lol

[jforget1]

Cool I will have to take a picture of something.

[jforget1]

This may not be your typical macro, but it is a close up of something and should be at least somewhat of a challenge.

[jforget1]

I think I may have gone a little too wide, this may not take long.

[CyberPet]

Matty, if you had said Bluetooh I'd given it to ya, but handsfree can be attached with a cable too, like in cars... i.e. it lets you speak handsfree while you drive, but the phone is still attached to a cable to the mic/headphones that's installed in the car. I'm very picky. :D

Joe... looks like the rear on a space shuttle boosting rocket (or whatever they are called, that big hunk of a thing that the little space shuttle is attached to at launch) :D

[Bald Eagle]

printer/copier?

[jforget1]

Bald Eagle that is not it.

[RMc]

fax machine

[insomnia]

Looks like a turkey-feather on the exhaust duct of an engine.

[Michaelmjc]

air purifier?

[jforget1]

Looks like a turkey-feather on the exhaust duct of an engine.

Seeing as I am not 100% sure what model plane this is, think its an FA-18, I will accept this an close enough. Insomnia its your turn.

Looks a little different than the GE's we have on our f-16's here :p


I'm at work again so I have to pass.... this is the last time I promise! :o

[CyberPet]

Can't MattyB, if he's still awake, step in since he was so close guessing on mine... ?

[CyberPet]

Or anyone awake, but me (I'm going to bed) :D

[jforget1]

Or anyone awake, but me (I'm going to bed) :D

[MattyB]
