The Picture Game 2

[Crimsonthread]

Absolutely!

[elle]

Yay! OK here we go:

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z196/ellesydney/zoom_16.jpg

[ForeverJoseph]

those clips you use to hang ur clothes

[elle]

Correct! It's a clothes peg :appl:

[Clank]

ok its been ages :P so heres a new one :)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2005/2462350629_9e649ec93c.jpg?v=1209863738

[donaud]

Hard to tell which, but...

a snail or a slug.

[RBS]

gotta be one of those. Guess we could try the salt test. :evilSMILE:

[linkinpark333]

i agree with you two

i believe its a snail

[Clank]

Oh sorry :S it was a snail btw :D donaud got it first ;)

so his turn :)

[linkinpark333]

its ok then
ive wouldnt have gotten it anyways without donauds post

[donaud]

http://i.imagehost.org/0712/guess2.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0712/guess2)

[linkinpark333]

reminds me of a espresso cup

[Fern]

Reminds me of one side of a metal fastening thingie you clip things together with, be I cursed if I guess the English name without a dictionary. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/gaia/foghij.gif

Edit: dot fastener or popper.
Thingie like this:http://www.holden.co.uk/getImage2008.asp?path=e%3A\domains\holdenvc\www\pr oductimages\091_124.jpg&WorH=w&max=300
Maybe.

[linkinpark333]

fern i think ur right

[donaud]

Neither guess is right.

Fern is close-ish.

[linkinpark333]

doorknob lol no

[donaud]

Fern, re: your posted picture... the similarity is spooky !!

It does fasten to another end, but it has nothing to do with clothes.

*** focus on the background

[donaud]

http://a.imagehost.org/t/0206/guess1.jpg (http://a.imagehost.org/view/0206/guess1)

[Crimsonthread]

Wow! Nice one, Donaud! I hadn't even gotten close to thinking of that. :P

[Fern]

A battery! I've been thinking for days but nothing came to my mind that has a bakelite-like surface with a curled-up metal edge. :D

[nooter mcdurt]

doesnt that mean donoodle is up again? :flagus:

[Adventure]

donoodle?? :?

[nooter mcdurt]

yeah, donoodle. that cubs fan guy.

[shootermagavin]

http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww198/shootermagavin/newpi.jpg

[RBS]

shooter I have no idea but it appears to have citrus involved. Hmm?

[donaud]

Agreed... is that pineapple in the background ?

I'm gonna guess some kind of mold :P

[shootermagavin]

your both close (ish) it is a food item
(the background is the same item)

[Fern]

I see a rotten fried egg in it. :P

OK without joking: avocado?
http://madamep.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/avocado_secondo-709356.jpg

[shootermagavin]

you got it fern :appl: the main reason i picked it is because I've never seen the inside of an avocado look like that!

[Fern]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/whatsthis06.jpg

[donaud]

A bone ?

[Fern]

A bone ?
Yes - just be a bit more specific. :)

[RBS]

One of those cow skulls you see in cartoons by the beware do not enter sign?

[donaud]

Yes - just be a bit more specific. :)

Looks a socket, maybe hip or shoulder?

[Fern]

One of those cow skulls you see in cartoons by the beware do not enter sign?

Skull is correct. No cow though.

Edit: no more guesses and I don't want the thread to die - the answer is a human skull.
RBS' or donaud's turn. :)

[nooter mcdurt]

um... do we want to know how exactly you aquired that gem?

[donaud]

This is probably too easy.

http://i.imagehost.org/0433/guess4.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0433/guess4)

[shootermagavin]

easy??????????

is it the the needle of a record player?
( i missed record players by just a couple of years)

[donaud]

not a needle.

[leapfrog]

Nope, not easy at all.

[Fern]

Something you can fold into the lower part and you flip the upper part down to fasten it and you can carry the thing around by the thread.
Seems somehow familiar but can't recognize it...

[donaud]

Depending on your personal geography, it will be simple or hard :)

[A Lovely Zombie]

It sort of looks like part of a camera. :?

[donaud]

Think geographically-specific.

Cameras are worldwide. :)

[A Lovely Zombie]

Hmm.. well may I have a hint as to what specific geography this relates to?

[donaud]

You won't see this in Hawaii :P

(extreme example)

.

[Fern]

Some kind of ski binding?

[donaud]

No, but you have the climate right.

[RBS]

windshield ice scraper-off-er?

[donaud]

Nope.

[RBS]

Is it bigger than a breadbox? Need help sizing it. :)

[donaud]

This "part" is not bigger... but what it is attached to is much bigger.

That top piece, for example, is roughly 6"x6".

.

[RBS]

Gonna keep guessing with maybe part of a snow blower? Perhaps a safety feature somewhere up on the handles.

[donaud]

Right on RBS... and you probably have never seen one in TX :)

http://f.imagehost.org/t/0408/guess4answer.jpg (http://f.imagehost.org/view/0408/guess4answer)

That flap controls the trajectory of the shooting snow (and wires control it).

.

[RBS]

Whoa, not at all where I had the part affixed but I'll take it.

13520

[donaud]

A cap... to a prescription bottle / salt shaker ?

[RBS]

Cap, yes. But not to either of those.

[Crimsonthread]

Baby powder bottle?

[RBS]

Exactly Crimson, wtg! :appl:

[Crimsonthread]

Might be really easy, if you have the right point of view....

[linkinpark333]

broom handle?

[Fern]

Seems like thermometer to me... a digital one.

[Crimsonthread]

Fern's got it. :)

[Fern]

Yay.

Really easy one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/whatsthis08.jpg

[RBS]

Popcorn?

[A Lovely Zombie]

Yes it must be popcorn.

[RBS]

I will go ahead a post then, my apologies if it is not popcorn.

13522

[A Lovely Zombie]

Measuring spoons?

[RBS]

You got it, wtg! :appl:

[A Lovely Zombie]

Yay! Here's one. :D

http://www303.lunapic.com/do-not-link-here-use-hosting-instead/126316376127224?2616015072

[Fern]

Hard to figure... personally I see a lamp.

[donaud]

Fern, for yours, I was going to say whey :P

This new one looks like an x-ray of something (?)

[A Lovely Zombie]

Not an x-ray.

Fern, what kind of lamp?

:D

[Fern]

I just thought a simple reading lamp. 8-|

[donaud]

Oh, is it a lava lamp ?

[Fern]

Oh I see it now!
You are definitely correct donaud:

[donaud]

http://f.imagehost.org/0296/guess_a.png (http://f.imagehost.org/view/0296/guess_a)

[RC-10M]

lighter flint

[nooter mcdurt]

moon crater (i knew it right off the bat, but... you might want to change the file name before posting. "Close-up-On-Two-Craters-on-the-Moon-2.jpg")

[Fern]

Someone smiling, corner of her lip ( I guess).

[nooter mcdurt]

you got it. happy days.

[Fern]

Easy one:

[Crimsonthread]

A cassette tape?

[Fern]

:appl: Yes. I just found a bunch of them in a plastic bag, with children's tales on them.

[RBS]

better children's tales than tails.

[Crimsonthread]

Here's mine... It may not be an "everyday" item now, but its successors are.

My money's on RBS getting this one. :P

[RBS]

First thing popped into mind ... a transistor radio alarm/clock.

Edit: OH DUH, that is the original Atari 2600 game system 100% sure.

Next one...

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc77/gummbypal/everyday.jpg

[ahra]

the inside of paris hilton's chihuahua? oh, no, wait, it's the outside.

jest aside, my guess is suspenders. but i trust i am terribly wrong.

[RBS]

way off

[Fern]

The function of the metal thingie is probably to keep a thread in place...like the hooks on a figure skate?
The white plastic(?) surface is confusing me. My first thought was a hook on a picture frame.

[RBS]

I thought this one would be a gimme.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc77/gummbypal/dentist.jpg

[donaud]

Dental floss ?

[Fern]

Ahhh stupid me. Dental floss.
Googled it two days before when I wanted to post here. :)

Edit: donaud's beaten me. :D

[ahra]

i would've never figured it out...

[RBS]

sorry, got busy. First person to say dental floss has the right answer, donaud.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc77/gummbypal/floss.jpg

[Crimsonthread]

Apple. :)

[donaud]

http://f.imagehost.org/0851/4pg2.jpg (http://f.imagehost.org/view/0851/4pg2)


Ha ha ha... I was trying to make it less obvious, and you caught me !!

It is an apple.

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0846/4pg2answer.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0846/4pg2answer)

[Crimsonthread]

:haha: Now it looks like I read your mind. :haha:

I'll have a new one up in a bit...

Here it is. NOTE--This is an every-day item, but you normally don't see this part:

[RBS]

vacuum cleaner attachment?

[Crimsonthread]

Nope, much smaller.

[donaud]

A piece that goes in a ball point pen ?

[ahra]

cigarette filter?

edit: the piece for the ball point pen seems more likely now.

[Crimsonthread]

Yes! I always loved taking pens apart when I was a kid... in fact, I still do. :P Way to go, Donaud.

[donaud]

I dissected them too :)

http://i.imagehost.org/0117/2_25.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0117/2_25)

[RBS]

channel lock pliers?

[donaud]

You hit the nail on the head, RBS !!

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0959/2answer.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0959/2answer)

[RBS]

woot

13566

[ahra]

can opener? :-S

i am so sure it isn't...

[RBS]

no.

[donaud]

nail clippers ?

[RBS]

affirmative, wtg donaud.

13567

[donaud]

...got real lucky on that one.

http://i.imagehost.org/0911/4_12.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0911/4_12)

[ahra]

glasses frame ?

[RBS]

got in before me, yeah it must be reading glasses.

[donaud]

Yes indeed.

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0613/4_answer.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0613/4_answer)

[ahra]

hehe : D
first time i guess one of these.

http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3205/crop.jpg

[RBS]

up close picture of an electric razor going at a really big whisker.

[ahra]

haha. so funny.

but no.

[donaud]

I can't get a cars' interior out of my head !!

[ahra]

no.

it's small, you can hold it in your hand.

[donaud]

a camera ?

[ahra]

it is ^^

here's the full pic, but it's big, so click on link (http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0801/Sony/sony_a350_lowangle.jpg) to see.

[donaud]

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0212/4_5.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0212/4_5)

[Adventure]

Water tap?

[donaud]

You did get it.

[Adventure]

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8585/guessz.jpg

[RBS]

wow that is perplexing. Interesting blueish/purplish light. :thk:

[Adventure]

The blueish light is misleading, certainly because a part of it is an reflection. Most of the times the whole object is white, non glowing. The blue glowing light servers a purpose though.

[ahra]

an handkerchief in the pocket of a coat of someone standing in a nightclub in the 80's feeling out of place.

boy, do i have an imagination or what.

[Adventure]

Lol, you certainly have. :haha: It's a nice to have such fantasy.

The "handkerchief" is the reflection, and no night clubs involved. You can find this in every room of the house. And that's not optional. I can assure you that in 99.9 percent of all cases it really can be found in every room in the house. Some rooms will even have a few of them, or many.

[ahra]

:)

a light switch then?

[Adventure]

WTG ahra!! You got it!! :appl:

Oops, almost forgot to post the complete picture. :)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/Lit_switch.jpg

[ahra]

i did? wow. i mostly followed your hint only...

here's one from me then.

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6148/cropi.jpg

[Adventure]

Hmmm, a suitcase maybe?

[ahra]

a suitcase it is.

full pic clickety (http://www.saddlebackleather.com/system/uploads/assets/RndTwoClippedProducts/SC-CB_FrontStandingView-01.jpg).

[donaud]

Not sure why it's sitting in mud, but that is a sweet briefcase.

[Adventure]

Sorry for the delay.

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8196/guess2f.jpg

[donaud]

wow... good one.

a key ?


.

[Adventure]

Not a key. :)

[funja]

top of a soda can

[ahra]

it's an... ashtray! \o/

donaud: well, not sure why it's sitting in mud as well. perhaps for display purposes. them crazy marketing minds... :)

[Adventure]

That's correct. :) It's an ashtray.
http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFiles/upimg0%5CCeramic-Color-Glaze-Ashtray_165580.jpg

[ahra]

wow :D

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6505/cropm.jpg

[RBS]

the little ceramic to grow a bonsai tree in?

[ahra]

no, the object is much smaller and they're not ceramic anymore for at least one century ;)

[RBS]

From your clue I would guess thimble but the pic looks nothing like a thimble. Hmm.

[ahra]

no, no. it's larger than a thimble. but it still fits in a pocket.
nowadays, people use versions of it everyday. it's really indispensable.

[Adventure]

Hmm, It doesn't look like it at all, but the description made me think of an insulator.

[Crimsonthread]

You say it fits in a pocket... does it belong in a pocket? :?

[RBS]

maybe an antique cigarette lighter? Something about the clue "indispensable" makes me think that.

[Fern]

Something about the clue "indispensable" makes me think that.
Due to same clue I can't get stationery and cutlery items out of my head.

[ahra]

no, it's not an insulator.

sometimes it belongs in a pocket, sometimes it belongs somewhere else. it depends from person to person. you may have one on your desk right now, or in your bag, or even in your pocket! :)

although i find lighters indispensable (i unfortunately smoke), it is not that. something much more common.

fern is on the right track there with one of those options.

think simple.

[RBS]

inkwell and fountain pen?

[ahra]

heh, only the pen, only the pen. good job ^^

clickety (http://www.freeimage4u.com/images/fountain_pen_1.jpg) for large pic.

[RBS]

Oh that part! I kept seeing ceramic not metal but of course with the full pic it makes sense. Good one!

13572

[ahra]

it must have been the decorations that misled you then...

and that one is... a bag of microwave popcorn! haha.

[RBS]

yes, the fancy scrollwork and the shadows made that one tough.

Nope, but the food category is a good start.

[ahra]

my first thought was towards some chips of some sort. then i remembered i have a bag of popcorn around here somewhere. oh, the mysteries of the human mind.

then... a bag of instant soup?

[RBS]

I hate to keep you naming off every item in the pantry. You don't get these at the grocer normally. Many times they end up in cup holders in the car and every office I have worked at has a drawer in the kitchen area full of them.

[Fern]

My first thought was astronaut food. :P
But now I better vote on mini salt/mustard/ketchup.
Or sugar.

[RBS]

Fern got it. Ketchup packet.

13574

[ahra]

oho. little one. but offices around here don't have a habit of having a kitchen. i would've kept guessing. heh.

[Fern]

I don't know it's easy or not:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/whatsthis13.jpg

[donaud]

French horn ?

[RBS]

I think its a baritone or even an upright tuba. Wrong valves for French Horn.

[Fern]

RBS is right, it's a tuba. :appl:

[RBS]

We are all dying to know where you keep your everyday tuba Fern? :D

13575

[donaud]

Adjustable nozzle for "Spray n' Wash", or something ?

[RBS]

yep. 13576

[donaud]

http://i.imagehost.org/0528/6_8.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0528/6_8)

[RBS]

stove grate?

[Fern]

We are all dying to know where you keep your everyday tuba Fern? :D

13575
Right next to the human skull I posted earlier... :S

[Crimsonthread]

The handle for an outdoor faucet?

[ahra]

the yellow in there makes me think of a gas pipe faucet. but it may be just me...

[donaud]

I googled "water gate valve" to get it, though some can be used for both.

The copper piping suggests water as well.

Gotta give it to Crimson. :)

http://f.imagehost.org/t/0748/6answer.jpg (http://f.imagehost.org/view/0748/6answer)

[ahra]

oh... i saw only yellow. must be tired. nice pic by the way. gotta love the dof [cuddles wif dof]

[Crimsonthread]

New one... I hope it's big enough. :)

[clwulf]

Hi everybody, thought I give this one a try...

looks like a presser foot from a sewing maschine to me.

[Crimsonthread]

Nope, nothing to do with sewing.

[RBS]

pruning shears?

[clwulf]

something being scanned or x-rayed..maybe..mmmh like insect eggs....

[Crimsonthread]

You're overthinking this one. It's very common, especially with females. :)

[clwulf]

ok, a hairclip?

[Crimsonthread]

You got it! :)

[clwulf]

hope this workes..

[Fern]

I think it's the end of a pencil with eraser on it.

[clwulf]

yip. that's it.

[Fern]

Yay. Fortunately I have one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/whatsthis15.jpg

[donaud]

Looks too small, but a part from the bottom of a vacuum cleaner ?

[Fern]

Nope, no machines involved.
It's quite small though.

[clwulf]

A holder for something electrical?

[Fern]

No electricity involved.

[RBS]

2 questions - are those tiny rollers on the bottom? And are there more than just those two linked together?

[ahra]

braces? for teeth?

[Fern]

:appl:!
Braces. :D

[ahra]

wow. that's the first thing that came into mind when i first saw the pic, but i was sure it wasn't :D

then... [looks around the room searching for smth]

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7590/crops.jpg

[RBS]

hmm, looks like something used in a craft hobby.

[ahra]

it must be one painful hobby then... ¬.¬'

[RBS]

Looks like it has too many small parts to be safe for food. Have you used one of these?

[Fern]

My first thought was an office machine of some kind.

[donaud]

Are those diamond bits, used for cutting ?

[RBS]

My first thought was some kind of food chopper or tenderizer but how would you clean it?

[ahra]

ahem. i bought one, it doesn't look exactly like that, but close to it.
but i haven't mustered up the courage to use it yet... :-S

not office machine. not chopper, haha. tenderizer... uh, that word gives me the shivers, and you'll understand why once you find out what it is...

no, those aren't diamonds.

[RBS]

removes dry scaly skin from feet?

[Crimsonthread]

My first thought was an office machine of some kind.

My first thought was, "What in the world is that thing?" :P And after all the guesses and clues, I have still have no idea...:hmm:

Would most people have a form of this? :?

[clwulf]

is it something you use in the bathroom ? or for a massage?

[ahra]

it removes something alright. but not dry scaly.

not most people, but a huge chunk would have this, yes.

due to risk of electrocution, it is not recommended to use it in a bathroom.

^^

[donaud]

Based PURELY on clues alone:

EDIT: A hair remover, or straightner :P

[ahra]

yes, it's a hair remover ^^

click for large pic. (http://bazavan.tabu.ro/files/2009/10/braun-wetdry-green.jpg)

[Fern]

What a shame, I had one earlier and couldn't guess it...
Btw. it's not so torturous as it seems to be. :P

[ahra]

<--- is still afraid of the damned thing.

but. what is life without pain, ne? i'll try using it.

[clwulf]

yes, you have to be brave to be beautiful....or hairless in this case :mpr:

[donaud]

GOOD one...

Didn't know it would be a medieval torture device !!

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0108/2_15.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0108/2_15)

[Fern]

That whatever on the typewriter that you use to go one line lower?
Sorry for my English...

[donaud]

You are correct Fern !!

It's a carriage return (and dare I say, you just tipped your hand at your general age !!).

http://f.imagehost.org/t/0164/2_answer.jpg (http://f.imagehost.org/view/0164/2_answer)

[Fern]

So carriage return, that's how it's called.
When I was a kid I always wrote short stories about dogs and my parents bought me a typewriter (it was a newer model than the one on the pic but it was a mechanical one). You had to hit the keys really hard and my fingers always got stuck between the keys. :P It was painful... o.O

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/whatsthis16.jpg

[donaud]

Yes kids, for some of us on here, this was our "word processor" !!

I typed WHOLE term papers on this monster :P

_________________________________________

Obviously, the sewn edge of SOMETHING... gonna be tough just what.

EDIT: I'll venture a guess. The corner of a flag ?

[ahra]

i know what you mean. these days the computer is so common that most kids don't even know how to live without one. but oh well. the curse of technology.

it that some kind of cloth used for wall decoration with sewing on it?

[Fern]

No, the wood has other use.

[donaud]

Wood ?

[Fern]

The brown thing in pic is wood but isn't a wall but part of the object.

[ahra]

oh i see. i thought it was the wall under it...

then. i'd venture the guess of an ironing table, but the edge and pinning of the cloth is too rough for it.
how big is it this object thingie thing?

[Fern]

Significantly smaller than an ironing table, you can easily keep it on your palm. The staples are rough but it's designed to be durable. Nothing to do with housework.

[RBS]

folding fan?

[Fern]

No. A hint: the white thing isn't textile.

[donaud]

What the... sure looks like canvas or some kind of cloth.

?

[ahra]

oh! is it one of those paper things that absorbs ink after one writes something? don't know the english term for it...

[Fern]

Neither textile nor paper. Not suitable for hardcore animal lovers.

oh! is it one of those paper things that absorbs ink after one writes something? don't know the english term for it...
Btw. neither do I.

[donaud]

Leather and wood ?

Is it some kind of drum ?

[RBS]

oh! is it one of those paper things that absorbs ink after one writes something? don't know the english term for it...

Maybe a blotter?

[ahra]

i have learned a new word today. and i've been fluent in english for so many years... oh, lol. thanks, rbs.

btw, is it a mouse trap of sorts?

[Fern]

Leather and wood ?

Is it some kind of drum ?
Yes.
No.
No mouse trap either.

I go to sleep so final hint:
the person on pic surely owns a couple of these.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/Nursing.jpg

[donaud]

Shoes of some variety ?

[ahra]

a spanking paddle to tend to naughty patients! also covered with tender leather, to avoid bruising. buy yours... today! ;)

oh, haha. my sense of humor has a personality of its own.

[Fern]

Shoes of some variety ?
Yes. I thought it's international, but now I'm not sure, it's such a typical nurses' footwear here.

So if someone doesn't come up with the exact word the turn is yours. :)

[donaud]

"Geta" ?

[Fern]

Well it was simply a clog that happened to be a medical one.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Stopsz/crap/whatsthis16_solution.jpg
I should have used a color one.

[donaud]

Oooooh... I like the navy :D

http://i.imagehost.org/0006/5_12.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0006/5_12)

[RBS]

Surprised they don't offer red, wouldn't show bloodstains as bad.

[ahra]

is that the sail of a boat?

[donaud]

Not the sail of a boat.

[RBS]

sleeve of fireman's gear?

[donaud]

Correcto !

http://i.imagehost.org/t/0089/5a.jpg (http://i.imagehost.org/view/0089/5a)

[ahra]

hmm, would've never guessed that. our firemen are military people, hence, they wear military attire. quite strange actually.

[RBS]

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc77/gummbypal/closeup3.jpg

[donaud]
