Gizmo Quiz Is Now Live

Come One Come All

[iamlost]

Welcome to a typically Foo-lish romp in search of the (hopefully) elusive Gizmo.

The usual questions apply:

• What is it?
  
• Where/When/Why/How is it used?
  
• And of course: Where the!@#$% can I find the!@#$% image posted?
  

To see a pic of this weeks most wanted:
[saltspring.gulfislands.com ]

Assuming LisaB doesn't have three in her garage and ends this before the rest of us are awake image "hints" will be provided starting with a handy-dandy "Search Compass".

In keeping with tradition an occassional Foo-lish Pic will be provided for your amusement along the way at:
[saltspring.gulfislands.com ] starting with a graphic of the many high tech tools required to play.

Enjoy.

So I guess no one wants to play with me ...

Boo Hoo

New Foo-lish Pic posted showing the new warning sign on the street by your house ... Just refresh the page ... well look at it at least once ...

[Timotheos]

Is it the toilet seat used on the Space Shuttle?

[iamlost]

Timotheos: ouch! the astronauts are pleased to say that it is not their toilet seat.

[Timotheos]

Heehee, I just looked at the first Foo-lish pic :-)

Man, I don't even know where to start. Are there moving parts? Is this part of something else or is it a stand alone gizmo?

[iamlost]

As this quiz is slower than molasses in January I will invoke image hint no. 1:

SEX appeal.

If that doesn't help viewer stats nothing will.

Note: to see Click Page Refresh for Foo-GQ link.

[iamlost]

Timotheos:
* Some bending otherwise in a fixed position.
* what you see is what there is.

[iamlost]

For that very nice WebmasterWorld member Timotheos who is the only one willing to play with me a new Foo-lish-Pic: click refresh to see.

And yes you do indeed "have the right stuff" in my book!

[grandpa]

Does it generate heat?

[iamlost]

grandpa:
thank you oh thank you for joining in.

In and of itself it is inert: any heat generation would be a contrary reaction and considered potentially harmful.

[bunltd]

To my knowledge there is no such thing in my garage...

;)

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

LisaB

[EBear]

When you say "bending", does it move in a ball-and-socket kind of way (like the mount for a monitor)?

[iamlost]

For political correctness and to encourage the ladies to play with me:

Image Hint No. 2: SEX appeal for the ladies.

Apparently sex appeal does not draw WebmasterWorld members.
Bunch of geeks.

[EBear]

And are they brackets at (what appears to be) the back above and below; used to attach it to a wall?

[iamlost]

Three Cheers: Welcome bunltd and EBear:

* depends on you breadbox ;-)
* OK, even smaller than a non-Texan breadbox.
* bend as in slight, very slight, flex.

See my Foo-Lish-Pic of LisaB - yes those hands are truly faster than a speeding bullet.

[EBear]

Does it absorb strain/stress?

[iamlost]

EBear:

see Hint No. 3 for "exploded view from a different angle.
"brackets" are for fastening but not to a wall.

[iamlost]

EBear:

stress/shock absorbsion is one of the purposes of the middle layer.

[EBear]

Went looking for "shock absorber". Lots of pictures of bras. Be right back.

;)

[iamlost]

Over an hour and few palyers and fewer guesses.

See my "thoughts" by reloading/refreshing Foo-lish-Pics link.

[bunltd]

Is it part of something else?

LisaB

[iamlost]

Not a bra ;-)

[Timotheos]

Well I'm thinking it's a gizmo to remove hair... like unsightly back hair.. but I can't find a picture.

[iamlost]

LisaB: it is "used" by being installed into something else but it is a complete entity in and of itself.

[iamlost]

like unsightly back hair

And just what is wrong with my back hair?

Absolutely nothing to do with hair.

[iamlost]

Image Hint No. 4 is now available.

This is a similar "type" of gizmo.

[EBear]

Are ropes/wires passed through the four holes?

[iamlost]

Time to motivate (aggrevate) the ladies with a politically in-correct Foo-Lish-Pic. Now available to infuriate.

[EBear]

similar "type" of gizmo

You're joking! What's similar about it?

;)

[iamlost]

EBear: no ropes, no pulleys, no strings and absolutely nothing up my sleeves.
