What’s That Friday
contests June 26th, 2009By now you know that my What’s That Wednesday series isn’t always on Wednesday. I don’t know why I keep calling it that. If anyone has a better idea, raise your hand and make a suggestion.
Today we have something very unusual. This picture was taken by my colleague Heather. The only detail that I’ll give about it is that I think it looks like a face. That won’t help you guess what it is, since I’m not inclined to help you in any way. Ha!
How to play:
1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.
2. First person to guess the object it’s a part of wins a Junk Drawer magnet and a mystery prize.
Go!
I have a little tip for some of you. If you are irritated that people make guesses well ahead of you, consider following me on Facebook. My new posts automatically appear there when I publish, so if you’re on Facebook more than your blog reader, you’ll see them sooner.
UPDATE: OK, folks! Here’s a hint from Heather: "It is organic material. It has not been processed by a human in any way. And it is indeed gross."
Stumble it!

It looks like quilt batting.
June 26th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
A spider web? Or maybe it’s one of those Glad wrap things?
Oh, and for the other name: What’s that whenever I remember?
June 26th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
It is clearly candy floss that’s been left out in the rain.
Candy floss. You know .. what do you Merry Cans call it .. um … cotton candy! That’s it! Cotton candy that’s been left out in the rain. There. Wanna know where to send my magnet?
June 26th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I think you pulled all the fibers and gunk out of your washing machine or tumble dryer filter. Either that or it’s some kind of monster spiders home!

Looks like some dryer lint that got rained on. Or a wet bag of pillow feathers.

I think it’s some kind of bug cocoon. And if I’m right, your friend Heather is much braver than I am, because I would never knowingly get that close to a cocoon.

Hmmmm….have to put my thinking cap on.
*screws on cap*

I guess….either a spider egg sac/nest or freshly sheared wool.

On second thought…it really looks like a dog’s fur in mid wash.
June 26th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
The only thing I can come up with is either lint from a pocket or, as Jodith guessed, a spider’s nest.
June 26th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
i’m guessing the spider’s nest too…ooky

I think it looks like fluffy sewage gunk that sometimes turns up where there is a blockage or lump of old leaves and what not in a drain. Or an old plastic bag, but either way, rubbish!
June 26th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
I think it is the bubble from a car wash
My second guess is mold, the kind that is on plants that have been over watered and left not allowed to dry out from the wun

It look like pork fat netting. I think I’ve seen them use that on Iron Chef as a way of getting moisture into another ingredient.

EVERYONE: You’re all wrong! This may be the first time where no one gets it. I’ll leave it up to Heather whether she wants to provide a hint. It’s her picture/item. Heather? You around?
Momo Fali — Sorry. It grosses me out too. And so do most of the comments.
Babs — You know me too well. Indeed, I would never leave cotton candy uneaten. Waste not, want not.
Karen — My wedding gown would be in my closet falling apart. One of my cats likes to sleep on the train.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:58 am
It’s cat furs left in the drain after a bath.

June 27th, 2009 at 11:18 am
At first I thought it is what’s left after trimming and washing a dog. But! Then I saw a sleeping polar bear and now that is all I see.

It’s Harley’s fur. When he forgets to groom himself. For a real long time. I am almost certain that I am correct.

ok, it looks like something got iced over and is melting, it looks like rain drops have hit the ice and it’s starting to melt. i think maybe a patch of fungus roots got iced over. or a clump of animal fur that got wet and icy and rained on.
final answer, regis!

OK, here is a hint. It is organic material. It has not been processed by a human in any way. And it is indeed gross.
June 27th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I think it’s what a moth weaves. Not sure what it would be called.
June 27th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Big blob of bird poop
June 27th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I didn’t read all the other responses but it may be what comes out of the silk worm’s butt, or bat guano.
June 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
It looks like one of those big caterpillar or spider sacs that, if you’re unfortunate to step on with bare feet, squirts gooky babies between your toes. It’s up off the sidewalk and grass a bit so hopefully nobody stepped in it, whatever it is.

I agree with her. Something that you would find in the attic maybe.
yuck!

It’s animal vomit or some other disgusting product of animal bodily funcion.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:12 am
A cats hairball, or as I rather call them, furball.

whale vomit?
June 28th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I think it is some kind of animal/insect excretion. Look at the background. If the pic has been taken of the object in situ then it is something that goes on outside. The again it could be some kind of plant mildew.

I was very curious to know what is it. I download the pic but still can’t guess :p
It looks like spider web on the trees. But I am not sure
However, it’s fun to read people’s comments
July 25th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I am guessing it is a caterpiller “nest/web” thing. . . .
November 11th, 2009 at 2:07 am
So , what is the answer?
cotton candy?
spider web?
fiberfill from a cushion
or…?
