David, I didn't say they're replacable, I said they're dispensable.

I just wanted to keep you folks from killing your eyes in the attempt to read the lettering on it :laugh:, or to focus on them with your guesses.


Of course this doesn't mean that dog toy is wrong .....
But then it could be wrong ....
You'll just have to wait ;D

Oh yeah, you did say that didn't you? My bad. :laugh:

So they are dispensable? Dispensable meaning you can take them off and throw them away in a trash barrel? Hmmm. Why would someone want to do that? :-\

Are they not supposed to be there to begin with? Perhaps they are something which should be removed once the item is purchased? Like those plastic holders they sometimes put around CDs at the music store. The cashier is SUPPOSED to remove them, but sometimes she doesn't and you have to do it yourself with a pair of scissors once you get home, almost breaking your hand in the process. Or melt it off with a lighter. >:(

Is that what you mean by dispensable Chrissi? Because why would somebody want or need to remove them and throw them out if they are supposed to be there to begin with and they serve some useful purpose?

They are white, round and plastic. They look like they can slide around on the chain. But they are dispensable. I don't understand. You know what that thing looks like? It looks like a jump rope, but it wasn't listed on the poll. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. And those plastic dispensable things would be the handles or holders.

I don't know. Now I'm really confused! >:(

The plot thickens. :laugh:

I said falcon leash.

A FALCON LEASH?? I didn't even see that option up there! >:(

I guess I read it too fast. But what would the screw be used for? Maybe they put a harness of some sort on the bird and use the screw to attach it. ???

Dispensable is what my dictionary said. Maybe abdicable would have been a better word choice.
I mean that you don't need them for the thingie to fulfill its purpose.

All I wanted to say is: do not concentrate on them, they are not important in order to find out what this thingie is.

They are not important in order to find out what it is, Chrissi said! She's dropping more hints ya'll! ;)

Let's think about it. So we really shouldn't be paying any attention at all to those white plastic deals, should we?

So David wonders why they are there to begin with! ???

I think Jess' choice of a falcon leash might be the correct answer. Those white plastic things are there to be used as grips, but it isn't necessary to use them unless you want to.

But that could work with any of those choices up there couldn't it? All of them would require grips (well sort of) in order to use them, including the dog toy holder! So I may be correct after all! :D
