What's This?

[adamanteus]

Following the fun we had with the Benthic Sampler in 'The Nature Photography Thread' earlier this evening, Stefan thought it might be a good idea to start a 'name the object' thread.

So if you own an unusual or mysterious item, that you think others might have trouble naming, post a picture in here and let us try to guess what it is...... just for fun.

I'll start the ball rolling with a relatively easy one.... it's all I could find at short notice.

"What's This?"

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

a drink insulator?

[CrazyHedgehog]

Garlic Skin Remover?

[gregmonsta]

Glasses holder?

[Snake lover 3-25]

a cozy (diff word 4 shannons LOL):D

[count dewclaw]

Garlic Skin Remover?

That was my guess! :D

[adamanteus]

Garlic Skin Remover?

Yeah, you got it Inge! I said it was an easy one!
Tomorrow I have a more difficuly one for you.;)

[Snake lover 3-25]

what in the heck is a garlic skin remover and how does it work!!!???:D

[anji1971]

Well, I'm sure glad you people guessed that one fast, 'cause the only thing I was thinking wasn't appropriate for this forum!:D:o:D

[Lori P]

Well, LOL, I mis-read the second word in Shannon's response and thought, geez, they need to insulate those things in England?????? LOLOL

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

LOL!! haha

Well, LOL, I mis-read the second word in Shannon's response and thought, geez, they need to insulate those things in England?????? LOLOL

[anji1971]

LOL!! haha

Like I said, what I first thought wasn't appropriate.:D

[Lori P]

Now I can't get that song from Nightmare Before Christmas out of my head... "What's this, what's this?" Aaarghh... lol

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Hahahahaha

[Lori P]

I've got one...

What's this?

[Lulu Bennett]

a nut cracker?

[count dewclaw]

a nut cracker?

Close :D, but isn't it the tool (I forget the name) you use to put a rubber band on a farm animal to castrate them?

[Zephyr]

It looks like some kind of medieval torture device. >>

[anji1971]

It does look like something with evil intentions behind it's invention. I think I'd rather not know what it is!!:D

[Stefan-A]

LeAnn is right, according to my googling skills. :) "Elastrator tool".

[Lulu Bennett]

LeAnn is right, according to my googling skills. :) "Elastrator tool".

awww stefan, you cheated! tut tut tut :eek:
hahaha;)
erm eeyyyyywwwwwww!! thanks for the disturbing mental image!! :mad:

[Stefan-A]

awww stefan, you cheated! tut tut tut :eek:
hahaha;)
erm eeyyyyywwwwwww!! thanks for the disturbing mental image!! :mad:
Cheated? :D Using google is allowed, of course.

I'm not claiming victory here either, I'm just verifying what LeAnn suggested. :p By the way, don't click on any links in google, if you want to avoid disturbing images. People don't just use it on farm animals.

[Lori P]

LOL-- yes, it's an elastrator. I was ROLLING at Lulu's guess-- she was very very close!!!!!!

These things are GREAT to keep around the house, ladies, for when your hubby or boyfriend ticks you off and you need to threaten them back into their place!!! LOLOL

[Lulu Bennett]

LOL-- yes, it's an elastrator. I was ROLLING at Lulu's guess-- she was very very close!!!!!!

[reptileparadise]

...thats not something to be joking around with!

[Stefan-A]

http://koti.mbnet.fi/thamnoph/photos/dipdap1.jpg


And in case you are wondering, what it says, is "DON'T OPEN".

[Lulu Bennett]

erm, a torch?

[count dewclaw]

A flashlight for scuba diving.

[Stefan-A]

It is not a torch. :)


However, it is watertight, as long as you 'DON'T OPEN' it. ;)

[count dewclaw]

Oops, I must have posted my response at the same time as you, Stefan. I guess I'm wrong about the flashlight :rolleyes:.

A waterproof laser or radar.

[adamanteus]

Sonar?
[infill text]

[Stefan-A]

Yes, it's a Hondex PS-7 Digital Sounder. :) Too easy huh?

[infernalis]

Out of recent boredom I have been going back through the history of threads looking for anything worthy of resurrection.

This sounds like fun, if anyone else thinks so, I am sure I can scrounge up some brain teasers:D

[Charlet_2007]

I've got one...

What's this?

http://www.thamnophis.com/thamphotos/data//500/medium/What_s_this.jpg

its a tool use to band cows and goats and other animals.. in short it neutered's them..

[Charlet_2007]

Here's one for you all lol..

http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q61/zoie18_2001/goodluck.jpg

[infernalis]

Is that a complete photo?? is there any one part of the device not clearly visible??

I thought of a few, but zooming in on something to mask its identity seemed well, unfair..

If that is a complete photo, I am stumped:D

[Charlet_2007]

no that's a complete photo.:) un less i have to take a pic of the cord to?

[infernalis]

Goodluck.jpg - wow you really do know how to keep one guessing:D

Hmm, now I must ask, on the other end of the cord, does it plug into the wall? or does it screw onto the back of an appliance?

[Garter_Gertie]

Some kind'a SCUBA thingy?

[Stefan-A]

Looks strangely familiar..

[infernalis]

A heater for a VERY LARGE fish tank.

[Garter_Gertie]

A goldfish pond pump.

[Charlet_2007]

well guess you could say it plugs into a appliance of some sort lol

[Charlet_2007]

its not a pump lol

[infernalis]

Antennae????

[Garter_Gertie]

Weather guage-thingy.

[Stefan-A]

well guess you could say it plugs into a appliance of some sort lol

Is it made by US Robotics?

[infernalis]

Sort of on the same page Stefan, I was thinking up the lines of a very powerful wireless router antennae.....

She was smart in naming her file "good luck":D

[Charlet_2007]

Is it made by US Robotics?

nope lol.... and dekaybrown got it lol

in fact its made by Linksys and it s my wireless N router..

good job man..

[Garter_Gertie]

The paddle part of a paddle boat?

[infernalis]

I have an item that will keep ya all wondering, But I have been on for 5 hours, so I need to shut off this stupid computer and figure out how I'm getting to the auto parts store to get my truck bolts I ordered yesterday:eek:

[crzy_kevo]

lol i was thinking that it was a router but i was at work all day and just found the post darn :(

[infernalis]

Ok first the easier one:D

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/1fun/guess.jpg

[crzy_kevo]

im guessing it is something that can be used to pry off the tops of buckets(we have something like that at work)

[infernalis]

im guessing it is something that can be used to pry off the tops of buckets(we have something like that at work)

Not it's intended purpose, so WRONG!!! (insert buzzer noise here)

[Charlet_2007]

that would be red neck gun rack to put on your truck.....:D:D:D:D

[Garter_Gertie]

A byonet off some kind'a antique gun... One you can have on the gun or take off and use in hand-to-hand combat.

[Garter_Gertie]

A po-tay-toe digger thingy.

[infernalis]

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/1fun/guess.jpg

First hint, it's very modern....

Second hint it's a tool...

[Garter_Gertie]

Hoof cleaner?

[Stefan-A]

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/1fun/guess.jpg

First hint, it's very modern....

Second hint it's a tool...
It's a crowbar?

[Lori P]

It's a husband trainer!!

[infernalis]

It's a crowbar?

getting closer:D

[Garter_Gertie]

A thingy to pick up hay bales and fling'um?

[Stefan-A]

getting closer:D
Tire iron?

[Garter_Gertie]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stefan, that's it!

It's used to remove the tire from the rim when putting on and taking off tires [from the rim]!

GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[infernalis]

Uh Gertie, so very wrong,

I guess in a pinch one could use the flat end to change a motorcycle tire, but this thing is made from aluminum, and trust me it would break if anyone attempted to unseat the bead of a car or truck tire with it.

I already chipped one corner of the flat end prying on something far less stressful than that.

[Garter_Gertie]

Dang it, dang it, dang it.

[GartersRock]

Lol!!
I get the feeling that I would NEVER know what this was. Just gonna wait it out. :D

[Stefan-A]

Some kind of tool for removing or adjusting chains, tracks, gear boxes or clutches? :D

[Charlet_2007]

is it thing to get lids of buckets?

[crzy_kevo]

thats what i guessed lol

[infernalis]

Gee Amanda, where is your sense of adventure??:D

I have a few doo dads about that are a lot tougher to figure out than this silly thing.

When I saw this on ebay last year Dorothy got excited and said she would beat me with it if I didn't buy it;)

But then again she has witnessed first hand how frustrated I was without it.

If I were to mention the name of the company that made it, well Stefan would just google the company name and have an answer in 23.5 seconds flat:eek:

[crzy_kevo]

lol ya he would ok im guessing its some sortt of tool for an atv since that kinda is your business wayne

[infernalis]

Sorry Kevon, If i went into any further details, the fun would be gone:D

And there is this old saying "Jack of all trades, ace at none"

Wayne has MANY interests, So watch out for some real mind bending items on this thread.

Should have went back into the history of this forum a while ago, There are a few interesting threads that have not been active for months, some over a year!

[Stefan-A]

So it's not a tool for robbing graves? :D

[infernalis]

So it's not a tool for robbing graves? :D

Ok last hint, the opposite of what you just said:cool:

[Charlet_2007]

its a tool for diging graves?

[dashnu]

casket opener

...errr ah wait that would be the same... NM

[Charlet_2007]

Why would he have a casket opener? that's just creepy lol

[dashnu]

Why would he have a casket opener? that's just creepy lol

You do know Wayne right :D :D :D

[Charlet_2007]

crap it just came to me.. i think lol its to measure the distance of where the grave stone is to how he puts it in the ground...

OK OK THAT WAS A STUPID GUESS.. :D:D:confused::confused:

[Stefan-A]

Ok last hint, the opposite of what you just said:cool:
Eww...

Or maybe I'm thinking of something different.

[infernalis]

lets just say it is commonly used to keep people from winding up in the casket....

[Charlet_2007]

um man im more stumped then before:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[Charlet_2007]

a casket locker?

[dashnu]

how big is it???? is it a break lever?

[crzy_kevo]

actually that make a lot of sense keeps you from going in the coffin

[dashnu]

actually that make a lot of sense keeps you from going in the coffin

You say that as if I never made any sense before :D:D:D

[crzy_kevo]

youve made sense b4!?!?!?!?!:eek::eek::eek:

lol j/k but i think you may be right

[GartersRock]

Ok... It's something made by "Wayne" Industries to SAVE PEOPLE!! Or is it something "Harvey" Dent use's to kill people??
Adventurous enough? :D

[infernalis]

about 10 inches long.....

And yes it assists in saving people

[Charlet_2007]

i give up lmao

[infernalis]

since not everyone is as addicted as some, I will wait until tonight to just give up and tell you what it is.

That gives fair chance to those who are actually working right now.

[Garter_Gertie]

A baby Jaws of Life?

[infernalis]

any final guesses before I just tell what it is?

Here is the last and final clue 911

Wayne's blender......H20

http://www.danceswithreptiles.com/1fun/guess.jpg

[crzy_kevo]

ok i am still drawing a blank here

oh hey i just realized i am now an old and wise snake woot :D

[reptile3]

LOL-- yes, it's an elastrator. I was ROLLING at Lulu's guess-- she was very very close!!!!!!

These things are GREAT to keep around the house, ladies, for when your hubby or boyfriend ticks you off and you need to threaten them back into their place!!! LOLOL


I sure need to get one of those, my hubby ticks me off everyday!! HA HA:p

[GartersRock]

A fire hose holder. Rofl!!!

[infernalis]

Close enough Amanda, it's a fire hose wrench.

The hook grabs the rocker lugs to tighten a fire hose.

Every fire truck has 4 of these hanging off the side in open view.

[crzy_kevo]

so then why do you need one?

[Charlet_2007]

yeah i was about to ask that lol

[Stefan-A]

Every fire truck has 4 of these hanging off the side in open view.
Oh, do they? :rolleyes:

[GartersRock]

Rofl!!! I was actually pretty close and I was joking!! Sweet!!

Why do you have one of those? It's cool looking. :D

[infernalis]

I water the motocross track with fire equipment:D

Prolly have as much apparatus as the local FD.

Now you know what you are looking at, the next time a fire truck with all the hoses on it goes by, you will notice.

[GartersRock]

Fancy!!!! :D
