What’s That Wednesday
contests September 23rd, 2009Today’s What’s That Wednesday is probably so easy I’ll regret putting it up. Of course, I’ve claimed before that something was so easy, only to have you guys go all crankypants on me.
Please don’t yell at me if you find it too hard. I’m still smarting from that math post the other day, wherein I posted something too easy.
How to play:
1. Simple. What is this?
2. First person to guess the object wins a Junk Drawer magnet and a mystery prize.
Go!
What’s that?
Stumble it!

It’s the bottom curly-q off of my best pair of crankypants. How did you get it?

Its a Kavli crisp cut with a scrollsaw.
Its one of those crepe paper decorations like they used to have in grocery stores, all folded up.
Its the leg off a piece of furniture you planned to refinish that has been languishing in your basement next to the beer mirror Dave isn’t allowed to hang upstairs.
(I already have a magnet so I’m amusing myself with absurd guesses.)

It’s a shelf support!
Got a couple of those in my own junk drawer!

It’s one of those cardboard things that a cat uses to scratch.

It’s a side profile of a Scrabble rack, right?
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Craziest one yet but I never get these anyway!! it’s a sculpture you have carved out of some Spam!!:-))))

It does look like a cross section of a scrabble rack….but…. taking a photo and only getting the end is not so easy. I know you are clever Kathy, but I think that it must be something else. I will have a thunk, but don’t hold your breath that I will guess correctly 🙂

It’s a sideview of a person with no face sitting down, watching “Project Runway” and considering what to have for dinner.
Er . . . that math post was easy?
My crankypants are in the laundry basket, so I’m good with whatever.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Once again, I have no idea!! :-p I must be really dumb, lol.
But I’m not afraid to guess… soo…
a headstock of a violin?

I say it is a plate stand.

Shoot, I didn’t get here fast enough. 🙁 I vote side view of a Scrabble tile holder, too.

I agree, looks like a scrabble thing (pretends that he’s actually played scrabble))
Looks like the bottom of a dog biscuit, hey and you think you can’t cook???
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:12 pm
My guess is: a piece of wood molding, like the kind that is used around door frames.

I would say it’s cloth hanger carved on wood. However the texture kinda lead me to have a second thought. Oh well I gave it a shot.

I’ve cut those out with my scroll saw before, even the same wood that needed a lot of sanding but I can’t remember what they were for.

Oh yeah, the others are right – it’s a profile view of a Scrabble tile holder.

I didn’t read the other responses, but I would guess a shelf bracket. My other guess would have been the silhouette of Mary in a very modern, minimalistic nativity set.

I vote for a Scrabble rack? And now I read the other guesses and I see I am not first with that guess, more like the 15th!

I vote for the scrabble rack…
September 23rd, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Looks a little like the end of a Scrabble letter rack, tipped on it’s back. (obviously the popular answer)

Can I buy a vowel? I have too many Q’s and Z’s.
I vote scrabble tile holder.
Bonus question and no fair Googling it….
What was the original game name??
Second bonus question for all the marbles…
What company first rejected and then years later bought it?
September 24th, 2009 at 6:15 am
I agree, it’s the leg/foot of a piece of furniture.

hi Kathy,
I’d pick the scrabble rack end…
Or it’s part of my crown which will be awarded to me for being a math dunce…

scrabble rack
September 24th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I’m so impressed with the scrabble end answer, but honestly, I was going to ask whether it was the torn-off point of a well-used and much-loved Burger King crown.
Sad, but true. 😉

Have to concur on the Scrabble answer. In fact, I took your picture and ran it through an image vector analyzer and superimposed the coordinates over an actual 3D model of a CAD-generated Scrabble tile holder, and the results came back as a 100% match.
Nice try though Kathy.

It does look like a Scrabble rack. That would be my guess too. When do we get to find out what it really is? -Dave
