Princess Crabby Demands it.

Really. She did. In the comments of yesterday's H&I Fires.

Therefore, we must comply, right?

Well, in her multiverse, anyway.

A new whatziss.

Not a component. Complete. Not a demurely applied pasty or blur in sight (except for jpg artifacts, tough noogies). Okay - it *isn't* in its storage box, but hey, *that* has a pretty revealing label which would take away the fun. Well, my fun, anyway.

C'mon, somone knows what this gizmo is!

Just a Whatzis for your Friday-no-doubt-sequing-into-the-weekend pleasure.

Go for it. Amusemaze me!

Oh, if you think it will help - larger pic available here.

Ahhh.........yesssssssss......this is how the world should work! Fortunately for you, Armorer, even with puffy eyes......the Rotation finds me ravishing.

How is that fortunate for me, he asked interestedly?

Lorgnette for the puffy-eyed.

*That* sent them for the dictionaries!

Puffy-eyed? Huh. Thought *everybody* knew what that meant...

There is nothing innocent about you!

Clearly, that is an industrial thong-adjuster.

It's a vegetable peeler built to a specification written by a committee. The sighting strip with central magnifying section facilitates precision peeling of narrow, thin-skinned vegetables, such as carrots. The one shown is the original version. After the first 4300 units were delivered in September of 1943, the sighting strip was moved to the other side, to put it ahead of the peeler. A further 27000 units were made before the entire concept of a precision vegetable peeler was shelved.

There! Eric *gets* it. If you have no flippin' idea, get creative! Write a novel! Build an alternate universe! With a military-historical tie-in! Brilliant! Wrong, but - brilliant!

insert dimple pairs A-B and C-D into grooves X and Y respectively, then twist and shout!

I aim to be like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... where the Guide is inaccurate, it is at least definitively inaccurate. Were I having a more serious day, I might speculate that the gizmo in question was some sort of map-reading aid.

Potato peeler.

Kinda looks like one of those......and I'm probably gonna misspell this, or just be off altogether A swinging bulb hygrometer???? It's that thing you swing around your head to (*I think*) measure the moisture in the air.

It's old. Gad everything you show is old. My initial reaction was a measuring device but it's not terribly precision. It's adjustable and there's loads of wear. It has silly knobby things (to hold the glass in?) and glass? Now the glass is important. I liked the twist and shout scattershot. Thing is it doesn't look nearly robust enough for that. I still think it is a measuring device, probably for distance and John in his usual deceitful mode has hidden the numbers on the reverse side.

Well, it's somewhat like, but not exactly like, a psychrometer I used, once.
 
By Brad on April 4, 2008 11:13 PM
Well duh, its a Slovakian dinglehopper.

Has a handle much like the one of my flea comb, for my kitty. Maybe it's a flea comb for virtual cyber-fleas to find the evil micro-crypto bugs planted among the fur of the Castle's Interior Guard, which the silly overfed kitties were too slack and happy to kill, along with neglecting their grooming?

BCR ~ I believe the thong adjuster pictured here is Hitlary's thong adjuster. Just to be, you know, specific.
 
By BillT on April 5, 2008 11:28 AM
I believe the thong adjuster pictured here is Hitlary's... If that's the case, it's missing the other handle...
