Someone needs to ban you so that you stop teaching people how to inflict this on us
Mike runs a treatment centre for those inflicted with SMGGitis, it is his best (monetary) interest to push the disease and creating more patients. :lol: :lol:

Oh ...... your treatment was unsuccessful ...... wasn't it? Oooh Er! :cry: ........ :lol:

[BradT0517]

[BradT0517]

Here we go, this should go quick

No to everything above.

And I thought this was going to go fast.

Very close but not exactly it.
It has 2 use's.
Steppin out for awhile But I'll be back

No to all of the above.

Having trouble trying to find a good clue with out giving it away.
So I be thinking of one.

[Cleo199]

curling iron? nope. never mind......

[FotOz]

It's a back-scratchin' spaghetti lifter-upper thingy device!

[thekid24]

salt and pepper shakers

[SpiltPickle]

I'll have to agree with the spagetti lifter strainer dohicky.

[FotOz]

Now where's jr#8 disappeared to? I reckon I've cracked it - and I have a doozy ready to go!

[TheBrazilianGuy]

a grater? a skimmer?

[Thompsunshine]

It's a back-scratchin' spaghetti lifter-upper thingy device!

LMAO Sounds like a misspix description!

And..if you ARE correct, I, for one, think you ought to smack him with it! LOLOL

[FotOz]

So - how long do we give the poster of a SuperMax to get back and confirm a hit? :(

[Mike Bell]

So - how long do we give the poster of a SuperMax to get back and confirm a hit? :(

BY my reckoning it's 5.30am on a Sunday morning in New Jersey (NJ?). We could be in for a few more gnawing sessions if he is a late riser! :cry:

[FotOz]

Okay. That's it for me. It's just gone 10pm here. I've had a BIG day. Went to sleep watching the idiot box so my 2IC told me get up and go to bed. And I will. I'll get back on line in about 9 hours to see what has been going on overnight (my time.) Boy, I don't know what your side of the world looks like but there is this unbelievable full moon out there. I kid you not (and I've done it) it's good enough to photograph by. But not for me tonight. I'm outa here. Good night one and all.

[jr#8]

spaghetti lifter-upper thingy device
Is right.
BY my reckoning it's 5.30am on a Sunday morning in New Jersey (NJ?). We could be in for a few more gnawing sessions if he is a late riser!
Actually early you missed it by about 40 min.
Anyhoot heres a pic.

[Mike Bell]

......I'm outa here. Good night one and all.

He's stll online despite this post so I've fired off a quick PM. Fingers crossed! ;)

[Mike Bell]

Too late! He's gone to Aussie sleep land! :(

How about a 'wee quickie' from Scotland (where the sun is trying to shine) while he sleeps :

Well done! I had hoped to spin that one out all day! ;)

Do you want to put another quick one up, BrazilianGuy?

Remember it is really FotOz's turn and he did say he had a 'doozy' for us. I don't speak Oz so have no idea what a 'doozy' is, but it sounds fun! :lol:

[TheBrazilianGuy]

I don't have anything ready... You can go ahead Mike... You got good ones, always

[Mike Bell]

I don't have anything ready... You can go ahead Mike... You got good ones, aways

I'm all out of SMGG shots right now and the wife says 'lunch is ready' so gotta go! :(

[TheBrazilianGuy]

I'm all out of SMGG shots right now and the wife says 'lunch is ready' so gotta go! :(


OK... I'll try one
Really easy
Sorry the shot quality... just too quick

[TheBrazilianGuy]

Digital watch


See... like I said: "REALLY EASY"
So, you wanna try another easy one or wait for FotOz?

[Becky N]

Yep, I've got an easy one too:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/IMG_0151.jpg

[TheBrazilianGuy]

A bottle?

[Becky N]

Yep! Told you it was easy:

http://performancephoto.us/images/Beckysgallery/IMG_0151-02.jpg

Now I have to stop guessing as I will be leaving shortly for most of the day.

[TheBrazilianGuy]

So, FotOz, were is the 'doozy' pictures?

[FotOz]

Well, good morning all. I'm going to throw this one at you, turn off and go to work. Not home for another 9 hours or so.

[BradT0517]

any hint at all fotoz

[Mike Bell]

I have no idea what it is but if you framed it and stuck it in a modern art gallery you would make a fortune! :lol:

[FotOz]

The pic is about 5mm across. You may have to rely on you memory more than anything to figure this one out. This is the business side of the item.

[BradT0517]

a blown up building from that grenade

[SpiltPickle]

chip from a memory module? memory chip type of thingy... ?

[SpiltPickle]

the actual inards of a memory chip?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Looks like a dual-core CPU without the IHS.

[jr#8]

I thinks thats it a cpu

[TheBrazilianGuy]

I think it is a CD-ROM or some hologram sticker

[Nzshrimper]

that looks like a ram module.

[cfpackerfan]

Or even a ewe module

[AirBrontosaurus]

Oh Cat, you're too much ;).

[cfpackerfan]

:p :lol:

[Nzshrimper]

Or even a ewe module
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[FotOz]

This is my second attempt at this reply. First one just sat there with the little widget going around in every diminishing circles, but going nowhere. So, where was I? Oh yeah! I'm home from work. Big deal. Now Dave - you're in the right area but not quite what I need. Need to be more specific. Chris, Jr, TBG and Kiwi - hedging on the right answer but you're all thinking way too BIG. This thing is transportable and useable in quite a number of devices. (There's that word again.) Now, we'll see if this posts.

[photobitz]

That sure does sound like a clue doesn't it?

[FotOz]

Is that a question(?) or a statement (!).

[photobitz]

Ummm... statement of the obvious?

How bout a Sony memory stick?

[Nzshrimper]

a usb memory key...

[FotOz]

Sorry - what brand?

[Nzshrimper]

Sorry - what brand?
surely not a Sony.. more like a CF card.. .

[FotOz]

Okay, it's been long enough. Time to move on. I'll give it to Dan from the 'gong.

[FotOz]

It's an Olympus XD Picture Card

[photobitz]

What the heck is that???? lol!!!

[FotOz]

Mate, before you learn to walk (buy Canon) you have to crawl (buy Olympus).

[photobitz]

Oh... I see. Umm... someone else post? I don't have my collection on me at the moment... still at work.

[photobitz]

Mate, before you learn to walk (buy Canon) you have to crawl (buy Olympus).

LOL!!! I crawled with Nikon.

[FotOz]

At least you can access your sites at work. Ever tried this through a government PC?
LOL !!!

[FotOz]

Because Dan isn't in a position to do something right now, are you ready to go K1W1? Yes, that's for the NZshrimper.

[Nzshrimper]

Because Dan isn't in a position to do something right now, are you ready to go K1W1? Yes, that's for the NZshrimper.
Nope ... some onik stole all my gear on Saturday, i am waiting for replacements, so no pics from me.. :cry:

On the plus side i will be getting a nice macro lens..

(when the cheque arrives):D

[FotOz]

Mate - what happened?

[Nzshrimper]

Mate - what happened?
car was broken into on my driveway..
I had just got back from a shoot and was going on another in an hour so left all the gear in the boot. Broad daylight and the boosted the rear door. :(

**** happens..

[FotOz]

Sorry to hear that. They musta known you had the gear in there, or was it a crime of opportunity?

[FotOz]

Okay - who wants it? Cat, you on line?

[Nzshrimper]

Sorry to hear that. They musta known you had the gear in there, or was it a crime of opportunity?
not to sure.. they also nicked cash, ipod and phone along with another bag. could have followed me back from last shoot or just a druggie looking for gear to flog off. Police not to worried did not even come and finger print,, :rolleyes:

[cfpackerfan]

Aww man, Chris, that was you? I read about you in another thread. Sorry to hear about that. Sucks.

Yeah, I'm on right now, but just getting ready to log off for the night. Sorry guys.
I do have a spare chair leg though, if any of you want/need it?

[Nzshrimper]

it sucks but thats what my insurance is for.. :rolleyes:

[FotOz]

From what I see of your Police Force in NZ, you're lucky that they acknowledged your report at all. Bit hard to print the outside of a vehicle, as it is a moving object in a public place. Anyone's prints found on the outside could be accidental placements, even if they are around a damaged lock. Trust me, I know!

this is true.. but only a few people have handled some of the gear inside,, if the prints match both outside and inside.. we can normally narrow it down.. but enough worrying about this .. someone find a macro.. :p

[FotOz]

I second that. It's up for auction. I'm not ready. First in best dressed (if anybody's awake, that is!)

[Nzshrimper]

ok here's one.

if its still going after 5 hrs than somone take over with their own.

I am off to bed,,,

[SpiltPickle]

photoshop book

[photobitz]

a CD?

[Citizensmith]

A box of that weird stuff, came in little cartridges, had issues with light. Oh yeah, film, that was what it was called. A box for a roll of film?

[BradT0517]

well its been slow today
where is every one
and nobody has even taken it its be 18 hours 9 with no guesses come on people

[cfpackerfan]

Im guessing it has something to do with photography. ?? It's a long shot.

[Epluim]

Is it a package that contained photos? Like the envelope they were mailed in or something?

[DanteCaspian]

Well seeing as the one posting has not offered info as to if the other guesses are right or not in the last 21hrs, and in addition cleared us to post another after five hours... who is up? I would post, but I am going to bed right away, and that just never seems to be a good move, to post and say goodnight.

[thekid24]

Ill post if thats cool

[BradT0517]

[Citizensmith]

[BradT0517]

[thekid24]

[BradT0517]

[thekid24]

no,not christmas related,not even seasonal

[Nzshrimper]

nope

very slow indeed (i did offer a five hour take over)

Yep something to do with photography. everyone must have used one in the time.

Nope

good call - i did give a five hour limit on the pic.


Ill post if thats cool

yep go ahead..

O but it is just so much fun to do that it bring out the worst of SMGGitis in us

it does,,, :)

go right ahead :)

[Citizensmith]

can we have a larger or different crop please. :)

[thekid24]

certainly,

made to make us feel good

[Nzshrimper]

yoplait pot.. (yogurt drink)

[thekid24]

nope

[Nzshrimper]

is it a container for food or drink

[thekid24]

nuh uh,but it is a container

[StewartR]

Toothpaste tube.

[chansh]

Home made 384mm "L" lens.

[StewartR]

By the way, are we still trying to guess what the pic posted by Nzshrimper was?

[chansh]

Its a polythene Chinese take away food container.

[FotOz]

Whatever it is, it holds 384ml. That's the volume of a Coke can. Obviously a container of, or for, some type of liquid. I'd say hand cream or similar.

[FotOz]

To expand on that last answer of mine, I'd go so far as to say that it's a beauty cream jar - the sort of over-priced and over-rated junk that women are conned in to buying by young models who have yet to develop a wrinkle that needs any sort or minor attention. Sheesh! Did I get that off my wrinkled chest alright?

[FotOz]

Crikey chansh - looks like it's just thee and me. And in 1 minute or 2 it'll be just thee. I off to hit the sack. Big day planned tomorrow. I'm going to look in on the thread in about 9 hours (7:30am) to see if I cracked it. If not I'll leave it alone for the remainder of the day. Goodnight mate.

[jr#8]

think where waiting for NZ and his answers

[StewartR]

I agree with FotOz that it's a 384ml container. That's 13 fluid ounces for you non-metric types, which seems a little large for a jar of hand cream. I'd say it's a bottle of shampoo.

[thekid24]

nope to all but youre on the right track StewartR

[SpiltPickle]

after shave?

[StewartR]

Hair conditioner.

[SpiltPickle]

Whatever it is, it's an L series :)

[thekid24]

Hair conditioner.

you got it.your up to bat.

[thekid24]

Also when I was taking a shower I saw the bottle and thought,"red ring on a white-ish bottle,I wonder if people would guess it as a "L" series lens?"lol

[BradT0517]

This is a preform a Lcoholism

[StewartR]

How annoying... I thought I'd copied a couple of macro shots onto my laptop, so that in the extremely unlikely event of me being sufficiently bored at work to play SMGG - and the even unliklier event of me guessing one right! - I'd have something to post. But it seems I forgot.

Anyone else want to take a turn? Or we could have another go at trying to guess the object posted by Nzshrimper a while back. Here it is:

I know the feeling,Ive had this one waiting for a few days now,but I havent guessed the last 2 or 3,so I had to wait

[Citizensmith]

Lets try and get the N Photos thing done. That one is bugging me. Good job on the conditioner bottle, I had no idea.

[Mike Bell]

Yep something to do with photography. everyone must have used one in the time.

That's really the only clue he has given us. :(
And it's not a film box, CD, photo envelope or a Photshop book.

Is it a camera manual?

[cfpackerfan]

How's your chair leg holding out, Mike? :p


Chris said 'in the time' which I take to mean it is an older photography item, that may not be used too much anymore. (by us, e.g. digital photographers)

[cfpackerfan]

Maybe a one-hour film developing envelope, or some such thing like that

[Nzshrimper]

By the way, are we still trying to guess what the pic posted by Nzshrimper was?

think where waiting for NZ and his answers


nope i have allowed mine to slide for now as i needed sleep. it will be saved for another day.. ;) but it looks like it has been dug back up again..

so i will play at work.

way off in fact its a digital toy

Maybe a one-hour film developing envelope, or some such thing like that

nope its faster than an hour.. ;)

[aLFaDaRK]

Throw away camera or webcam?

[SpiltPickle]

way off in fact its a digital toy


Is this THE toy or the box for the toy?

[Thompsunshine]

Nikko Camera Car?

http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&id=877&showAllImages=0

[FotOz]

GM all. Bit slow this morning. (Had a sleep in, didn't I?) Good one on the conditioner bottle, but that damned thing of NZ has me stumped. I've ruled out it being anything Nikonish - the N is followed by a rounded letter - and it's not Photoshop as the word Photo stands alone. No doubt it'll be a surprise to us all.

[TheBrazilianGuy]

Nikko Camera Car?

http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&id=877&showAllImages=0

I think you got it! lets wait!!!

[chansh]

A memory card.

[BradT0517]

this is driving me crazy and my mouth hurts because my chair leg is plastic

[Mike Bell]

How's your chair leg holding out, Mike? :p


Almost worn through, Cat! :(

And NZshrimper has gone offline again - to work or sleep or whatever it is that is happening now on the far side of the planet. Damn this 'Earth's rotation' business! :mad: ................ :lol:

[Nzshrimper]

no to all.. they are in every mall..

[Nzshrimper]

Is this THE toy or the box for the toy?
its the equipment not the box..

[BradT0517]

a hot dog

[Nzshrimper]

a hot dog
photostore
ehh ???

[Mike Bell]

Hey - he's back already! :D

Is it a cameraphone, Nzshrimper?

[BradT0517]

ehh ???
a photography shop
