Agreed

[Onwuma]

Yeah, it looks like two stamps... on a roll. Pearlescent finish on them.

[Epluim]

No, I bet they're the things that dispense the gift tags...
If so, someone should take my turn. Tomorrow's the last full day before winter break and I KNOW my middle schoolers won't be letting me play online! :)

[jr#8]

Its amazing what the flash can make us think we are looking at

[StewartR]

Sorry folks, I'm here in the office but my camera and all my photos are at home. I assume that waiting another 11 hours or so would be unacceptable. So anybody else who wants to post one is welcome.

[Onwuma]

We'll wait for ya stewart. It's fun to be the one who gets to post, and most of us have day jobs anyway, so go ahead.

[jr#8]

[Citizensmith]

A warning light on something. My guess, a Canon Flash

[thekid24]

[AirBrontosaurus]

The little red dot you line up with your lens and camera body when you attach a new lens?

[thekid24]

The little red dot you line up with your lens and camera body when you attach a new lens?
You got it,the lineup dot on my nifty

[AirBrontosaurus]

Hooray! I will have something by tomorrow, but if someone wants to take it go right ahead!

[Mike Bell]

Hey, I missed the coffee bean re-Pete! Funny how the first guess was steak - I think the same happened with my shot! :confused: :lol:

[memorex88]

Agree, funny how it looks meaty hehe

[Mike Bell]

Hooray! I will have something by tomorrow, but if someone wants to take it go right ahead!

Is it tomorrow yet? :rolleyes:

[AirBrontosaurus]

Yes, just 2 more minutes, literally!!! :)

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright, here it is!

[Citizensmith]

Not sure how macro that shot is? The side of a yoyo?

Or some kind of metally discy thingy.

Man I suck at this. Start putting easy ones up.

[AirBrontosaurus]

How macro? Well, it was taken at 2:1.

"Metally" is on the right track.

[Skrim17]

Is it furniture related?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope, not furniture related.

[Skrim17]

CD's

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope.

2 hints: This is one item, and it is pretty rugged (so electronics, CDs, etc are out).

[Skrim17]

bowling ball

[Rehuel]

Man I suck at this. Start putting easy ones up.

Yes please start placing labels next to the objects...j/k:wink:

Two metal pipes next to each other.

[3Turner]

lock

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope, not really close either.

Hint 3: The first word is also an extreme sport/activity.

[Chandler.]

Weights (for lifting)

[Rehuel]

Extreme metal pipe stacking?

[3Turner]

snowboard

[cfpackerfan]

Extreme metal pipe stacking?

ROFL!! :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

First word: Curling?

[memorex88]

First word: Curling?

:lol:

It does look like a curling stone on ice, but extreme and curling LOL !

[AirBrontosaurus]

Somehow I wouldn't consider "Curling" and extreme sport/activity ;).

Hint 4: You might find one these in your car

[Mike Bell]

Is it ski-related?

[BearLeeAlive]

Somehow I wouldn't consider "Curling" and extreme sport/activity ;).
You obviously have never been to our anual family bonspiel. :lol:

[memorex88]

vise-grip pliers
brake pads and/or rotor

Does it show I'm lost here :confused:

[cfpackerfan]

You obviously have never been to our anual family bonspiel. :lol:

I hear Jim's family plays Extreme Bocce.
And I have a friend that plays Extreme Frisbee.

So, Extreme Curling wasn't too far of a stretch. Nothing is impossible in the Extreme world. :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

I hear Jim's family plays Extreme Bocce.
We actually call it All-Terrain Bocce, but I'm really liking the Extreme Bocce title, I think I will use that Cat. It is often not far of the truth if you see the terrain we play through. :lol:

[AirBrontosaurus]

Cat, you are onto something:

So, Extreme Curling wasn't too far of a stretch. Nothing is impossible in the Extreme world. :lol:

[Mike Bell]

Of course! It's a single rugged metally thing that you might find in your car and has something to do with stretching! Easy! :rolleyes:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! :evil:

I can't stand it any more!

[memorex88]

curling iron?

[Citizensmith]

part of a car jack?

And yeah, labeling the photos would be a big help. Or maybe saving them as MyTennisBallMacro.jpg or something would be enough.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright: I seem to have created some frustration here, so I'll give another hint.

Hint: It rhymes with "Dunji Board" ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

I know, I know, but I have to head out to my last appointment with a customer for this year. (Gotta pay for my Christmas goodies) ;)
