What’s That? Wednesday
contests, Fun October 1st, 2008Today marks the beginning of a new Junk Drawer series that I’m calling What’s That? Wednesday. It may turn out to be a supremely stupid idea, or it might be really cool and fun and awesome and everyone will steal it from me.
How it works:
I post a picture of part of an everyday object or product and you try to guess what it is.
First one to guess correctly receives something from the Junk Drawer Stuff gallery.
The caveats: I might forget sometimes if it’s Wednesday and not have anything to post. The pictures may be less than perfect and you’ll be annoyed at my crappy photo-taking skills. Or, I may tire of it at any time and discard it, just like all those bunnies I got rid of when they stopped being so cute. Just kidding. Really. I’M KIDDING!
If that’s OK with everybody, here goes!
OK, so what’s that?
Stumble it!

Did I miss the answer?
It looks like the hole in my bathroom where the towel rack just fell down this morning. Were you here today? lol

Deodorant! You mean “women’s deodorant”! No fair! Men’s deodorants are green and such. I call “shenanigans”! (A hearty handshake to the person who gets that reference). 🙂

Lee — In my dreams.
Chris — No bullet holes or drywall. See above for answer. Marlene got it!
robert bourne — We gotta get you a magnet. Oh, hell. I should just send you one. You’ve been with me so long now, you’ve earned it!
mizmell — It does!
Data Entry Services — (I’m sorry your comments always go to spam, even though I’m trying to train Akismet to stop it) Check back next Wednesday for another chance.
Mrs. C — It does look like that I have one in my laundry room. Don’t know why, since I’m never in a hurry to do laundry.
Bomb — Oh, no! You know, I thought of that much later, that perhaps this product wasn’t available worldwide. I’ll do better next time.
kouji — That’s OK, there’s always next week.
DrowseyMonkey — Yep. See above. Marlene guessed correctly that it was a deodorant stick.
Rachel Moulton — Don’t pout. There’s no pouting in The Junk Drawer! Come back next week and you can try to get your guess in.
clerihew — It is! I like it!
Jacqueline — If you think this was weird, check out the interpretations for a piece of fuzzy wool.
Steve — Uh-oh, clearly I need to do better research. That reference is on the tip of my tongue. What is it?

Rats, I’m too late for this weeks guessing game! I would have guessed drywall patched with tooth paste. Looking forward to next week.

My comment is going to reveal a lot more ,psychologically speaking, about me than I am comfortable with, but here’s my guess. it’s a plug that was put into a suspicious looking hole (peephole?) in the public bathroom wall for security reasons made from one of those roll out paper towels. Is anyone else as paranoid as I am?

This is one of those posts where you can’t be late to the party. All I can say is it’s a good thing I didn’t think of this idea because right away I can think of 10 things you wouldn’t want to know the answer to.

Carol at A Second Cup — At least I learned from this post that you can patch a hole with toothpaste. Lotsa handy people here!
lala — I promise next one will be easier. Or may not.
Babs beetle — You know I’m not afraid to admit pretty much anything!
Baby Girl — The first thing I do when I go in a dressing room is look for cameras and holes. You’re no more paranoid than me.
Steve — I’m going to guess that I know it from that show, even though I don’t watch it, but my husband often has it on. Must have seeped into my subconscious!
Jeff — Maybe I should start a new blog just for “What the hell is it?” items. I didn’t just say that, did I?

It looks like a hole plugged with spakle

Oh yeah…Shenanigans. Once Shenanigans is officially declared by a police officer or it seems by “citizens arrest”, that means all the townspeople all go home and come back instantaneously with their brooms to beat someone or something when something is too obvious or a let down after a big build up. At least that seems to be the etiquette.
I think “The Line Ride” is the best ride at the carnival that is the backdrop of the episode.

WOW – deodorant… way to go!

Okay, I’ve stared at this thing for a day and a half and I’ve finally figured out what it is:

Am I close?

I got a question on my Photo blog where I have gotten zero responses so far. This is not fair, do you here me. I use deodorant and shave almost once a week.
You are pretty amazing.
You pay your visitors under the table, don’t you?
It’s good for 200 EC’s if you interested.

Renee aka Mekhismom — It does, but that’s not it. Marlene guessed correctly that it’s a deodorant stick.
VintageGent — Thanks for the South Park education. I guess with that show, I’m glad it wasn’t something worse.
Kaye — See above.
fragileheart — I’ll try to make the next one easier. It won’t be an all-white product. I realize the picture wasn’t the best.
Mike Foster — You would win second prize if I was handing out second prizes. Good one!
Beamer — Funny! I have my ideas about what that is in your fridge. I’ll be over to log my guess soon.

Question of the day answered!
Although I don’t remember the post, I remember reading your blog and my first comment was basically saying I hoped you didn’t mind me commenting, and that I felt a bit like an intruder – I WAS very new to blogging ;O)

I so was going to guess deodorant before Marlene. Can I have the prize??
ryc: Kissable lips, eh? Okay, I’ll tell you who got first dibs. Her name was Rachel, and apparently my lips made her go insane. (insert evil laugh)
But no, seriously, she lost her mind. It was very sad.

Babs beetle — Loved the trip down memory lane. But I still don’t know how we stumbled onto each other. I love knowing the origins of things.
windyridge — Funny. Yeah, it looks like an unearthly thing that I don’t want falling on me while I’m sleeping.
kev — Do you want a prize? Cuz that can be arranged. I would love to gift you a magnet. Email me with your address if you’d like one. OK, so you’re saying your lips have special powers and not of the good kind? Don’t ruin it for me.
Peg at Lehigh — It totally looks like that, but no. It’s deodorant. Wonder if they make citrus-scented?
October 4th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Yeah, it’s so unfair…I just come a little late. But I would not have guessed the right answer even if I came ealier.

My guess is a nail whole in a peice of drywall with paint over it or its peice of lint on a sock.
October 7th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Handbag for life — Yes, but it would have been fun to read your guess!
brooke — Nope, not drywall. It’s deodorant. This one was hard. I’m hoping the next one will be easier — but not by much. Can’t make ’em too easy, you know.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I thought it might have been what was left of those bunnies – “Or, I may tire of it at any time and discard it, just like all those bunnies I got rid of when they stopped being so cute. ”
