It is a gun. It doesn't shoot food.

This thinghy must be related to audio.

A) Some budget hearing aid?
B) A burp amplifier for Coors light drinkers?

...or if I missed the spot, it's a portable toilet for hardcore baseball fans. The pistol grip was meant to pass it up the row back to the vendor.

>>marmalite gun?

Some guys must be careful about Foo OD, or they will end up as mods if they dont. :)

Not related to audio, but burp amplifier is on the right track.

Is it some kind of Bat-Gizmo?

Well this is definitly some kind of movie prop (or prototype) from the poor finish.

Plus comparing both pictures, we can see the 'business end' has the 'post' part of sights... sooo the pistol grip was installed backwards.

Probably 'art departement' stuff. :)

Or was it designed to aim at yourself with a spare eyeball?

Is it a horse pill launcher?

One guy opens the poor animals mouth while the other stands back and takes aim. :)

Actually ... it looks like a liquid being fired. Perhaps an elephant enema appliance? He he

Doesn't it create a "puff" of air?

played with a larger version at the children's museum

Hey there is something magic about you.

How was your dessert last night?

I couldn't help going back home for apple pie and ice cream after your posts in the Friday word game...

Thanks, Macguru, that means a lot coming from the official keeper of the Gizmo Quiz scoreboard!

Dessert ended up consisting of m&m's - at least they're chocolate, nothing so fancy as creme-anglaise ;) ...
Pie - now that sounds good....

Ya mean the official slacker? :)

I resent to this title. Rossinante took all my week ends.

Do you volunteer to keep the scoreboard?

I will vote for you!

Your so sharp you'll make most Gillette products dull as a suburban dead end street.

No one will think you cheat.

Congrats LisaB, as winner of the "Not the Gizmo Quiz". Maybe Macguru can award something.

I will award an enigma.

(this is closed to all mods)

Who is this guy [abacus-referencement.com] and why doesn't he need a Airzooka?

President, LOL - no way, not me --- empress suits me fine.

Enigma: well, is he yelling, screaming or something else?

must be something/one discussed in the rarified mod-ly forum since you warned off the mods? ;)

Probably something else...

Mods a pre-disqualfied because they where recently virtually exposed to this very unique British hero.

This image was clipped from a Flash document. Dont count on Google image this time! ;)

More clues :

He is somehow famous, but certainly not very popular.

Rewind to message # 7.

Find the link, explain why he does not need this gizmo (in exactly 30 words and stating his full name at least once) and you win!

Whoa there Macguru! What is it with you and your vehemency towards British cuisine in these threads all of a sudden..?

Nope he is a meat-boiler from London.

Are you the one "who ate all the pies..."... and had a bad experience...;-p

I wouldn't be at all surprised, knowing how some of our pies were made... ala Sweeney Todd, for example!

And, how the hell did you find my picture?

For those outside the UK, who don't understand the term "Who ate all the pies?" - a vernacular chant at sporting events - a link is provided here! [webster-dictionary.org]

I apologise in advance for the language used in the link...

Mhhh maybe just a fish and chip craving?

Glad your on the smile mode, Syzygy.

I sometimes need to pick on others to counter weight my self derision. :)

His name is Paul Hunn [guinnessworldrecords.com], and he's the world's loudest burper according to the Guiness Book of Records. Apparently, his burps are as loud as a pneumatic drill.

30 words, and the name!

Hey, I beat LisaB! It's a miracle!

Of course, the real reason why the mods were banned was because Mr. Hunn is actually a WebmasterWorld moderator. Now the only enigma left to guess is: which one? ;)

For my prize, I'd like to be the head of state of Canada. I hold British nationality and have never faced an election in my life - but as I actually live in Canada, I'm almost certainly over-qualified for the position!*

*- Lawman, if you need to edit anything, this post really is political!
