CLOSE! Subject: Hot water bottle? From: sighbrella Date: September 11, 2009 12:33:19 PM EDT Is it a hot water bottle? |
| From: yonder62 Subject: Da new gizmo Date: October 3, 2007 1:01:58 PM EDT To: youguys3@charterinternet.com This may be a porcelain flask for dispensing nitroglycerin, perhaps used at the former Atlas Co. in Senter, MI. Has flat sides so it won't roll off a shelf, and what appears to be a brass cap/stopper so it is non-sparking. The knurled knob may have controlled an internal valve to regulate the outflow of the nitroglycerin. John Sturgeon Bay, WI |

| Subject: guess da Gizmo From: pickie98 Date: October 12, 2007 7:05:12 PM EDT To: youguys3@charterinternet.com Well, I know I have seen these before, but cannot remember where... this is a container for holding maple syrup. The middle of the cap unscrews to pour the gooey syrup inside. The triangle shape is to fit many of them on a shelf. Linda Castillo, Bay City, MI |

| Subject: Guess the doo hickey From: RTE1BOX68 Date: October 20, 2007 10:50:41 PM EDT To: youguys3@charterinternet.com It looks like a washer fluid bottle from an old chevy. The bottle would be strapped underhood and it was filled with "Optikleen" solution. They eventually made them out of plastic and I think they're discontinued now. One thing - the fluid was blue in color not red as shown. My best and only guess. |

| Subject: RE: Guess the Gizmo From: mesintyrone Date: November 12, 2007 1:59:53 AM EST To: youguys3@charterinternet.com Hi, A dear friend sent me a link to your website. i really like it! Then i saw your Guess the Gizmo Contest and thought for the fun of it, I would take a look.... I have an idea as to what this might really be and what it might be used for..... My guess is that it is a Plumb Bob and it is used in doing surveying work. It is the weight that is placed on the end line that gives the surveyor an accurate placement for the scope. Now, what the heck, you might wonder, would make me think of that? Ever see Journey to the Center of the Earth? I have, lots and lots of times... It is a simple Plumb Bob that sets the whole thing up.. MESINTYRONE P.S. *Huge Grins* Now, on the other hand , if you want a really twisted idea????? It's a great big Boob weight! Used in Kinky sex on the end of a chain attached to some clamps to really pull down on the poor "victim's" nipples! Can anyone say OUCH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! |

| Subject: From: moonth Date: December 1, 2007 7:46:49 PM EST To: youguys3@charterinternet.com Hoolie, I think that the 3 cornered bottle contains maple syrup. The reason the bottle is three cornered is because you can put more bottles in a crate that way. Another advantage to the 3 cornered bottles can be they will not move around while they were transported on mule or horse carried wagons. Ed Fanwood, New Jersey |

| Subject: What the hell is it? Answer From: cloef Date: March 28, 2008 7:02:34 PM EDT To: youguys3@charterinternet.com This is the “football” that the secret service carries where ever the president of the U S is with all the special codes and top secret information is for the department of defense. It’s also the s#^* that is left over from the diarrhea polka that they can spread around the country into other foreign countries and also the US government. Clark Loeffel Wausau, WI |
| Subject: Guess What dis Doo-Hickey is and what it was used
for! #8(?) From: jpalmer7 Date: July 13, 2008 11:39:26 AM EDT To: youguys3@charterinternet.com What you got there is an explosive petrified beef brisket. Used to break up brawls at feudal Texas barbecues, cooks would often employ these IEDs (Incredibly Exquisite Delicacies) only in times of great need. Just punch the trigger button, throw, and treat the wounded with dipping sauce. These IEDs are very difficult to obtain, owing to the fact that they can only be carved from petrified wild steer. This particular example is obviously of illegal manufacture, as it is missing the required NAMP 120B identification label. |
