---

(This photo shows a "part" of a mystery object from my life. The challenge? Guess what the object is and the function of the object.

---

If you can, post in Spanish and English, and, if clues are needed I will post them "along the way" so keep your eyes "peeled". And, a new rule for my game friends - you can post "multiple times" of course but please - one guess per post! That gives everyone "present" a chance to have a "stab at it" and makes it easier for me to follow the thread and the answers. Thanks everyone :o

Hola Lateto, - ciertamente - gran avatars - pero no, este vez, mi OM no es "comida" :( - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

(But I can see why you would think so - the photo is very "deceptive" :o - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

Si es "temprano" pero - ¿Quieres otra pista amigo? - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

Absolutely not ... I want to see other guesses first ...you put to much work into this to just throw it away. And on behalf of the other members, it is frustrating to find a game after it is over... stall! - LateToDinner, Jul 25, 2010

rats ... missed an o in too much work ... - LateToDinner, Jul 25, 2010

I do that ...miss out on "a" letter in a long sentence..."too hard" to go back and fix it :( - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

Usually I retype, definitely retype if it was somebody's name, and then delete the original - LateToDinner, Jul 26, 2010

Just too tired that time ... also the excuse for the misspelling in the first place. - LateToDinner, Jul 26, 2010

Fred "me rindo" What does that mean? - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

If spanish Pokemon and spanish suprman comic books weren't lying to me, it means "I give up." - Fredbong, Jul 25, 2010

Gracias Fred - I'll write that phrase down :o - nonombre, Jul 25, 2010

De nada. I may have used it wrong here though, every use I've seen was more of a "I surrender/submit" response. - Fredbong, Jul 25, 2010
