[SpiltPickle]

I think cat is psyhcic. must have espn or something ;)

[cfpackerfan]

I doubt espn would help me identify a red potato. LOL
I'm just finishing up my dinner, and will have a macro up shortly.

[3Turner]

red power button on tv remote

[Epluim]

Wow... you all must live on here. Within one minute there were a whole bunch of posts!

[Thompsunshine]

Color and texture remind me of rhubarb.

[cfpackerfan]

nope

[Epluim]

Is the whole picture part of the object or is it the object and background?

[SpiltPickle]

'do not push' button? :)

[cfpackerfan]

Color and texture remind me of rhubarb.

You're talking about Jim's potato, right?? LOL.
Cause if you eat rhubarb that looks like my shot, you need to find a different supermarket. ;)

[Epluim]

I'm guessing something with a red cap or a button like Turner said...

[thekid24]

a plastic ring around a button

[cfpackerfan]

Eplium... all connected.

Spilt Pickle... I really would like to know your name, because I laugh to myself every time I type 'Spilt Pickle', and wonder about the background of such a moniker.
Oh... nope. not a button.

[Epluim]

Wheel?

[cfpackerfan]

no to all so far

[Epluim]

Is it part of a toy?

[SpiltPickle]

Is it edible?

Heh.. the name comes from an incident at a theater where a pickle was spilt, and later commented on that it smelled like a spilt pickle in here... Ya had to be there, it was funnier in person. :)

[cfpackerfan]

Nope and nope

[cfpackerfan]

Ahh.... it's Dave. (was that in your signature when I asked?? lol)
I need to pay more attention.

[FotOz]

Pot scrubber?

[cfpackerfan]

Pot scrubber?

Nah, my hubby won't let me do a macro of him. :p

[VGP]

Is it part of a trim like a chair?

[cfpackerfan]

Nope.

I believe most, if not all, of you have seen this exact item before, either in real life, or in pictures.

[SpiltPickle]

[SpiltPickle]

[cfpackerfan]

Nope. not even a scraper. :p


(You can spell Albuquerque, but not scraper? LOL!)

[thekid24]

[Epluim]

Easy Button?

[cfpackerfan]

Nope on the button

[thekid24]

[thekid24]

[jr#8]

How bout the mouse button on an IBM laptop

[cfpackerfan]

Not a toy.
Not a button.

[SpiltPickle]

It's not a toy.
It's not edible.
It's not a button.
Both 'objects' are in fact one object...
It's not a scraper, ice or any other type.
It's not a husband.
It's not a city in new mexico.
We've all seen one either in real life or in a picture.

[cfpackerfan]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/smilies/too-funny1.gif

NO! But I like your deductions.

[SpiltPickle]

I shall sit back and think (aka wait for more clues) while hitting f5 repeatedly

[cfpackerfan]

I just had a quick look at my 'crop #2' and I fear that it is painfully obvious with that shot, so I'm gonna make you all suffer and guess a bit longer, because I'm not yet ready to stop playing. Mwaaa haa haaaa!

Clue #2 (yes, #2.... the biggest clue has already been given) : equipment

[VGP]

I shall sit back and think (aka wait for more clues) while hitting f5 repeatedly

I kept F5'ing one day and was like "is anybody going to post?" When I looked I was two pages behind and keptnig refreshing the same page :oops:

[VGP]

I'm not yet ready to stop playing. Mwaaa haa haaaa!

Well if you guess and get it right you can post up another picture and keep your fun going :lol:

Just realized that I have been on this forum since July 2005. In the past 3 weeks on this thread I have posted over 25% of my submissions. Did someone mention the word "addictive"?

[FotOz]

Hmmm. I think I was closer than the shrimp. Could have been any kind of ring. Does gemstone make it more betterer? :)

[cfpackerfan]

Did someone mention the word "addictive"?
