WIIF #63

Becca put the flow on full blast last week! But I think this weeks is quite hard... uh... did I just jinx myself?

Here is What Is It Friday? #63



Joseph :: The Husband snatches the win this week, kung-fu style!

A friend of ours picked these up for us while traveling through Japan a few years ago.


I love the detail on these sticks.



The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

I gotta go general for the first guess of the day. Is it some kind of dog toy?

Fenway said...

Wiring just seems too obvious.

They look kind of spongy and waterproof. How 'bout those Noodles that float in pools?

Stacey Olson said...

one of the obsticles in a dog show course.??

Fenway said...

Some of those fancy twist ties?

Fenway said...

More of those fancy paper clips?

b13 said...

nope... but it does look fancy, doesn't it ;)

Fenway said...

Fancy new hoses?

Fenway said...

They look suspiciously like those twisty things that you can use to set your hair in pincurls.

But since you shaved your head, I'm not so sure about this guess.

b13 said...

hoses? nope

twisty things that you can use to set your hair in pincurls? nope

I told you this was a tough one ;)
(not a hint... just a fact)

Rebecca said...

Is it a fancy smancy hammer handle?

Fenway said...

Tough one, huh?

Hmmmm....if it's tough, maybe it's the spongy & rubbery coating on a handle...a tool perhaps?

b13 said...

Is it a fancy smancy hammer handle? nope

Tough one, huh? I mean "tough" as in hard to guess :)

spongy & rubbery coating on a handle? nope

a tool perhaps? In a vague way, yes... but not in a shovel sort of way. Damn... I'm not supposed to be hinting this early on!

Rebecca said...

What about an accessory to a writing "tool" - like an old school pen or pencil grip.

Fenway said...

How 'bout a closeup of coated sunglass ear thingys.

b13 said...

Laura said...

Is it candy?

Rebecca said...

I know this may sound very odd - but what about a thigh master - or a piece of a workout equipment?

Not that you have need of a thigh master right . . . ;)

b13 said...

Is it candy? nope

thigh master - or a piece of a workout equipment? Nope

Not that you have need of a thigh master right? I thought I WAS the thigh master! ;) HEY NOW!

Anonymous said...

I'm not even going to touch that thigh master comment with a 10 foot pole. LOL

OK, is it a bicycle lock. You know the kind that is covered in a plastic coating.

b13 said...

a bicycle lock? nope

covered in a plastic coating? nope

Rachel said...

It's red, it's blue.
I have no clue!

b13 said...

Here ya go Rachel :)

It is believed that dropping these tend to bring bad luck.

Fenway said...

Bad luck? They don't look at all like mirrors.

Shoelaces?

Did you put the $50 on Big Brown to win?

b13 said...

not mirrors or shoelaces.

I should have, Fen. Brown is built like a machine!

Hint #2: Precision is key.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm...
an umbrella?

b13 said...

nope, not an umbrella

Anonymous said...

Scissors? Dropping a pair of scissors is said to warn that a lover is unfaithful.

or maybe a Comb? To drop a comb while you are combing your hair is a sign of a coming disappointment.

Rachel said...

Well, I appreciate the clue but I never heard that dropping anything was bad luck!!

Maybe blondkit10 is right?

b13 said...

Scissors? Nope

maybe a Comb? Nope

Maybe blondkit10 is right? nope ;)

Maybe you can tickle an elephant tusk ;)

Anonymous said...

I think this should be renamed WTFF! :p

Anyways... I have no idea really but from the clues I would say... something to do with a piano? Maybe something that tunes it?

I dunno... I am a little more than musically challenged... tho I do enjoy listening to it! ;)

b13 said...

something to do with a piano? not really...

Maybe something that tunes it? nope, but a tune... hmmm...

timtim said...

An elephant trunk? When an elephant trunk is turned down it's bad luck. But dropped? Tickled? Tusk? Ivory? Tickle the ivory? Tune? Piano? Stream of consciousness... I'm scared, I followed sandgroper's logic. No offense...

b13 said...

An elephant trunk? Nope

But dropped? Tickled? Tusk? Ivory? Tickle the ivory? Tune? Piano? Stream of consciousness... I'm scared, I followed sandgroper's logic. No offense...

I'm afraid...

Different direction here...
Playing with these is considered vulgar and bad mannered

Joseph said...

Are they chopsticks?

Rebecca said...

A vodu doll?

I'm really stummped this week!!

b13 said...

Joseph catches the fly!!! They are chopsticks :)

Rachel said...

I never saw chopsticks like these before!!!

If I had to eat with chopsticks I would be very very skinny!! :)
Hey...maybe I need to try that for awhile........

Love your guessing games!!
