Here Is The Gizmo Quiz

For Saturday, 20 August 2005

[iamlost]

Here is the Gizmo Quiz: [saltspring.gulfislands.com]

To win the responsibility of hosting next weeks GQ:
* post correct name, description, and use of Gizmo?
* post correct url of Gizmo image?

Here are some distracting images: [saltspring.gulfislands.com]

When updates to above linked pages are posted refresh/reload to view. As changes are primarily CSS rather than HTML you may need to force a reload i.e. Ctrl + F5.

Good Luck Hunting!

Is this another GQ where everyone (but me) has a life and fun in the summer sun?

If you are out there how about just saying "hi"?

[pmkpmk]

That's a disposable device allowing women to urinate while standing. I had the weblink somewhere.

Yep, here it is: pee-mates [jscms.jrn.columbia.edu...] and here: [p-mate.com...]

[iamlost]

There is life out in GQ land! Hurrah!

No.

Toilets, their accessories, or their pee-tiful humour have nothing what-so-ever to do with this week's Gizmo.

You appear to have mistaken me for Macguru.
He holds all Foo trademarks, service marks, and patents regarding toilets et al.
Flush him appropriate post content royalties please.

[pmkpmk]

Hmpf... my second guess would have been a bag to pick up dog "droppings", but I was 101% sure on my first guess.

but I was 101% sure on my first guess

Nonsensical hyperbole deserves a Gizmo-Funnies update - the seo-clowns! They do funny things with SERPs.

And as it has been over an hour the first hint. Refresh to see.

[pmkpmk]

Well, I was researching along the lines of pheromone traps, but they look different.

Now it seems as if it might be something you stick in your eras to widen your spatial base in order to get a better bearing/hearing to a noise source (excuse my bad English). Let me research a bit more...

I should like to make two things perfectly clear:
* One: my "hints" are not (necessarily) to be taken literally.
* the lady in the hint is covering her face not exposing her ears ... if you take my hints literally ... which may not be wise ... or may ... depending ...

And thank you for being here for me today ... :-)

[pmkpmk]

Today? Tonight!

I just returned from vacation and try to catch up with things...

Can you disclose whether it is paper or fabric/canvas/linnen?

[iamlost]

Can you disclose whether it is paper or fabric/canvas/linnen?

Paper: no; fabric: no; canvas: no; linen: no.

Helpful?

[iamlost]

Second hint is uploaded. Refresh to see.

Over an hour and a half and only one player.
Wherefor art thou oh GQ-ers?

[pmkpmk]

If you call THAT a hint...

As for the missing players: I am as surprised as you are. In bygone days I would have assumed a netsplit...

[iamlost]

If you call THAT a hint...

Hey, you are the one with an interest in pattern recognition ...

Perhaps the SEO experts secret analysis tool would be helpful ... refresh the Gizmo-Funnies.

[Syzygy]

Everything appears to be pointing towards communicating with 'the other side' - ouija board, crystal gazing. Is it something to draw in GQ-ers..:-)

[iamlost]

Is it something to draw in GQ-ers..:-)

Well it brought you in from "the other side" ... or is it just in from the pub?
Welcome regardless.

[iamlost]

SEO: science, art, or occult?
I like to add: comedy, tragedy, or farce?

But SEO has absolutely nothing to do with this weeks Gizmo.
Believe it or not.

[iamlost]

Third hint is now posted.

Note: The name of the Gizmo is now fully revealed. ;-)

[Syzygy]

Had anticipated that the GQ was over by now - was quite literally 'passing through' (but not from the pub, unfortunately) to find out what it was and who'd won!

Can't stop for long. Are the ouija board and crystal ball actually pointing us to the spirit world in any way at all?

<added>ah, you've posted whilst I was typing...</added>

[pmkpmk]

Where do you see an ouija board?

[Syzygy]

Ouija board: In iamlost's Gizmo funnies...

[pmkpmk]

Which I find where...?

Oh, OK, got them.

[iamlost]

Are the ouija board and crystal ball actually pointing us to the spirit world in any way at all?

The Gizmo-Funnies are in no way, shape, or form related to the Gizmo and should not be construed as such.
Funnies are not hints.
Funnies are for amusement purposes only.
Funnies are not necessarily funny to anyone but me.
For further "Funnies are not" information contact my law-type-person (see Funnies for pic).

[pmkpmk]

I give up.

[tbear]

Looks like a bag used for icing cakes to me...
Bend buckle blindfold ...... nahhhh

Oh, hi all!

Guess it's made of plastic then.....

[iamlost]

Fourth hint combines Hint 3 and Hint 2 to reveal (clearly) two thirds of the Gizmo name.

Welcome tbear: plastic: no.

<added>

Bend buckle blindfold ...... nahhhh

right idea, one-third correct ...

[iamlost]

The silence is deafening.

[Syzygy]

Lol, bend buckle blind(fold)! Just spend half an hour trying to come up with something around that very same thing and variations therein - none the wiser though. Must be denser than usual tonight.

Nice one, iamlost. Gotta split.

Syzygy

[iamlost]

Taking a break to play with my son.
Will check in occasionally.

[tbear]

Help iamlost I am lost :(

[tbear]

Actually, I'm sure I know what it is, I just can't find a piccy of it.....
Is it for marine useż Ooops?
Is it made of leather?
