[lawman]

Whatizit? [images10.fotki.com]

BTW someone's been visiting the location where I store gizmo pictures ahead of time

[encyclo]

It's an early Roman cigar-holder ;)

OK I know the Romans didn't have tobacco!

[lawman]

No ceegar for you encyclo

Oh, your Funny Pic [images9.fotki.com]

[encyclo]

It's a candle-holder designed to be fixed to the wall (ie. you rotate the picture 90% counter-clockwise).

Where is everyone? Too hot?

[lawman]

Haha, no. Speaking of too hot, your funny pic is a Macguru Classic [images2.fotki.com]

[Birdman]

Looks like a small flag holder.

[lawman]

Doesn't really hold anything internally.

<added>Well maybe it does, but if so, it just facilitates the use</added>

[lawman]

Here's [images10.fotki.com] another shot.

[lawman]

Alrighty, someone start guessing; I've got some video editing to finish.

[bakedjake]

Pen Holder?

Something Unmentionable?

[mack]

Are they antique, or still something that might still be in production?

Mack.

[lawman]

Not a pen holder.

Definitely mentionable. Another pic [images10.fotki.com] in honor of the founder of the gizmo quiz.

[lawman]

Antique? Absolutely.

[lawman]

Vague clue:

Fe

Another clue:

I'm gonna hand out clues every 4-5 minutes until someone gets it

[lawman]

Women Only [images10.fotki.com] toilet (also in honor of the puzzle's originator).

[lawman]

Next clue:

Basic name no doubt derived from answer to first two clues. Specific name describes its primary purpose.

[lawman]

Something very hot placed inside this device.

[lawman]

Women apply the basic concept to put curls in their hair.

[lawman]

Sorry guys and gals I've got to go. Answer will be posted in two minutes.

[lawman]

Ok, it's a goffering iron. Final funny pic [images9.fotki.com] in honor of Macguru.

Good bye

[pmac]

Thanks for stepping up Lawman.

[Macguru]

Hey lawman!

Thanks for replacing me. I just arrived (in one piece). The shoot was great with no major incindent.

I am glad you revived the tradition of funny pics along the way. iamlost did a great job last week.

Could your gizmo be a vintage wall mounted curling iron holder [pages.tias.com]?

[lawman]

I found it on THIS [belowstairs.co.uk] page.

[Macguru]

So the proper name would be a goffering iron stand [gtj.org.uk]?

Lawman, is he [szmata.com] a good prospect?

[lawman]

Since the goffering iron only works when you stick a hot poker in it, the stand helps keep your dainty fingers from being burned. :)

If you see that guy on the motorcycle again, give him my card. ;)

[Macguru]

So I guess I need to host the next game?

I do another shoot for Canada day next friday. But I am not the chief supervisor this time. My presence is not required for the next day disposal. We will wrap the harware just after the shoot. I will host the next game next saturday PM, if I dont blow myself up again. ;)

Thanks again, lawman [crazy-jokes.com]. :)
