What’s That? Wednesday
contests November 5th, 2008Here ya go, folks! Another installment of What’s That? Wednesday.
How it works:
1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.
2. First person to guess the object it’s a part of wins either 500 Entrecard credits or a Junk Drawer magnet, your choice.
3. Guesses accepted until 6AM EST Friday, November 7. If no one gets it by then, a prize will be awarded as soon as someone does.
Really super helpful information: I realize it looks like a face if viewed standing on your head. That it looks like a face has nothing to do with the object. I didn’t photograph it right-side up OR upside-down. The thing doesn’t have an up or down. Well, it kinda has both. Oh, nevermind.
There now, didn’t that help?
What the heck is it?
CONTEST CLOSED: So many of you guessed correctly that it’s the strike plate of a stapler! I announce the winner here. Keep in mind, the next one will be much, much harder to guess!
Stumble it!

I came to confirm that it is in fact the base plate of a stapler. Clearly that has already been established but since I came all the way over here …

I think it’s the bottom part of a stapler (well, the top side of the bottom… you know, where the staple gets squished against?) Niiiice description, but you know what I mean, right? LOL

I am guessing it is the face plate to lock / latch.

Hey, everybody — I’m pretty screwed up with my commenting schedule tonight. I’ve already posted who won, so go check it out. I warned the winner everyone would hate him for getting in first, but that’s the price he pays for winning.
Joe — Nope, and would that be a really tiny toaster?
Happy Hour Sue — That would have been my guess. Feel good about that.
TheSnackHound — No, but I had studied some VCR/DVR things beforehand and thought it’d be too easy.
Jenn — Good guess!
ethanator1088 — Everyone hates you.
Tess — Right, but too late.
Canucklehead — You weren’t alone. So I guess it wasn’t that easy!
Mike — Correct, but too late.
mp stewart — Yep, but too late.
Jeff — Prove it. Sure, next time I’ll cheat for you. Do you think anyone else will be mad?
Shieldmaiden96 — Correct. Yo. And for the love of God, how did you know it was the Swingline model 545???
Babs beetle — Yes, but a bit late to the party.
Steve — That’s OK. You were pretty fast, but you got beat anyway. Sorry!
April — Yes. For the record, I post these on some Wednesdays at Noon EST. So get in line then.
RedRaider — Nope, but good guess.
shadowsrider — Nope, but good guess. Shieldmaiden96 guessed the exact model, which kinda worried me.
carol at A Second Cup — Aw! I like that guess!
Susan — Hilarious! Yes, how did you know?
The Jillybean — Got that right. Keeps me laughing all day long!
Shieldmaiden96 — Freak.
brooke — Nope, but it made good sense. Hey, but you’re already a winner over at JD’s I Do Things blog, so good for you!
Regan — And you already had, what? Twelve guesses when I sent it to you ahead of time the other night?
absepa — Don’t worry. Lots of people can’t get them. There will be many, many more chances, so don’t lose hope!
Daisy the Curly Cat — I’m glad you are not allowed to use a stapler because I’m afraid you might use it on Harley when he’s pestering you.
Fancy — It does, but nope!
Vivienne — Yes, and if you could have guessed the exact model before Shieldmaiden did, you would have rec’d a magnet too. Did you get called nerd a lot? Or worse?
Chris (Casey) — Feasible, yes. Beam me up (to get away from the farts).
storybeader — Yeah, I felt like I had to eliminate “face” answers right off the bat. And no. Sorry!
pussreboots — The latch thing seems to be the next best guess. Good job, but sorry. You lost.
robert bourne — As God is my witness, you WILL get a magnet one of these days.
Lee — Well, it depends on how you do your stapling. It is upside down, no it’s not, yes it is….
ImitationAngel — Late, like mostly everyone else. Don’t feel bad.
Shinade — Hi!!!
Beamer — You scare me. But in a good way.
JD at I Do Things — I’m sorry Gus! Don’t be ascairt! Hey, when you get yourself a blog, you can have credits. Now get crackin’!
Ava — OK, so I don’t understand this button thing you’re talking about. I’m intrigued. You mean I can make my staples do different things? How did I not know this?
Alan — I love that it was a face. There’s a book out there that’s nothing but objects in the wild that have facial features. Sounds like something I should have thought of first. Dammit.
karen — Yes, I do indeed. Remember 8-track, too?
Donna — Yes, but you’re way late.
kara — This whole thing with the switch is interesting. I haven’t figured out how to mess with it, though. I need stapler training, apparently.
Jamie — Way to go! But you’re late to the game. Better luck next time.
Don — Yep. You’re in good company. Evidently this was too easy. Watch out next time. I’m making it as brutal as possible.
Gandalf and Grayson — I’m sorry. There’ll be many more chances, so keep your kitty thinking caps on!
Data Entry Services — It’s fun, isn’t it?
Dan Brantley — Sorry. Don’t mean to make your head spin. Oh, who am I kidding? Yes I do!
Jocelyn — Stapler butt! Perfect! You are right, just late.
April — I didn’t either. What’s that all about? A stapler’s supposed to be a really dumb item, not have all these fancy features.
BabaBooey — You wish you could see my belly button. It’s the only thing on my body I wouldn’t be embarrassed to publish. Don’t dare me, cuz you know I will.
Preston — Your comment made me chuckle. Said it in my head just like that nasty witch!
Canucklehead — Thanks for Swinglining by again.
meleah rebbecah — You weren’t alone. And p.s., I think I can spell your name now without looking! Yea for me!
JEANNE — I totally know what you mean. And thank God it does have a name or else a whole lotta people would have had to say what you said. Now that would have been fun.
Matt Oxley — But you’re correct! That counts for something. Just doesn’t get you a magnet.
Bruce — Nope, but that seems to be the 2nd most popular guess, so feel good about it.
brooke — Yes, I’ll get you your prize from JD’s blog. Not a problem.
