Here's the gizmo quiz item:

The first to correctly identify the gizmo wins a fun-filled no-expenses-paid day of hosting the gizmo quiz again next Saturday.

Good luck.

Venusian mouth concertina.

...

[incrediBILL]

Nope, but creative :)

[bunltd]

Hi! Thanks for the Gizmo. Is it medical?

[incrediBILL]

Not medical.

[Leosghost]

plumbing ?

[incrediBILL]

Nope. I hope this one isn't too hard. ;)

[wyweb]

Looks like a sex toy, in fact I may even have that one in my inventory.

[Leosghost]

Is the picture of one thing or two things , looks like one resting on another ?

[Samizdata]

Looks like a sex toy

I really should... umm... stay in more.

I'm probably not allowed two guesses but I think it may be one of incrediBILL's bot traps.

...

[bunltd]

how about a diameter of the round part?

[wyweb]

It's a pump of some sort. The ribbed plastic is a giveaway.

Bill?

[incrediBILL]

wyweb is on the right path about some sort of pump, not the sex toy! :)

It's one piece, not two, and the diameter of the base is just a couple of inches if that much.

[incrediBILL]

Maybe you need a funny video to help: [youtube.com...]

[wyweb]

Does it have anything to do with boats or marine equipment?

[incrediBILL]

No. But it can be used with boats and marine equipment at the same time!

... another fun video if we get some more guesses!

[wyweb]

There's no reverse view of this thing is there?

[wyweb]

Is it operated by hand?

[incrediBILL]

Sorry, that's the only view.

Yes, sort of operated by hand but you don't actually touch it.

That earns a new fun video: [youtube.com...]

[wyweb]

I'm thinking the circular base facilitates attaching it to something larger.

Does this gizmo stand alone or does it need to be fastened to something else?

I see no metal on it at all, yet I'm guessing it relies on some sort of mechanics to operate.

Am I even close?

I'm gonna nail this thing.

Where's everybody at anyway?

[wyweb]

Does water flow through it?

Did I ever mention I love foo?

[incrediBILL]

Yes, it does attach to something larger but I'm not sure it attached by anything other than physical pressure.

I don't think anything is applied to make it stay where it is but I could be wrong.

Does water flow through it?

Not in intended application :)

Where is everyone else? Next fun video needs a clue from someone new.

[incrediBILL]

FYI, those fun videos are actually clues.

[wyweb]

Okay.. good information to have. Even the beer video?

In what way was it a clue?

[edited by: wyweb at 1:04 am (utc) on Apr 10, 2011]

[incrediBILL]

They were both beer videos.

If I told you more I'd give the answer away.

[bunltd]

Beer-inator?

[wyweb]

Does it have anything to do with kegs? I've seen my share of kegs but never seen this.

[wyweb]

We're running out of time too. I'm gonna start doing a kamikaze on this thing if no one else wants to play.

[incrediBILL]

Kegs, not that I'm aware of, think smaller.

Last fun video for this gizmo: [youtube.com...]

[wyweb]

Those little keggers you stick in the fridge?
