We did a bunch of these "What is it" polls last year and everyone seemed to have fun with them. So, I thought I'd post another one just for fun!

Take a look at the picture below and then try to guess what it is. I will post the answer some time late next week.

This object is approximately 42 inches tall and made mostly of wood.

I voted!!

I'm very sure to have the right thing this time. Actually, I thought it was obvious. Therefore I won't say for what I voted and why

Hey, imagine my face if it turned out I were wrong

Kelda · « **Reply #3 on:** July 16, 2008, 02:17:23 pm »

I voted too! I like Chrissi think it may be obvious but then I may be totally wrong!!

Kerry · « **Reply #4 on:** July 29, 2008, 11:18:26 am »

I don't know what it is but guessed it's an antique wooden capstan, because it looks like it's on a sailing boat.

You and me both.

And this will make the two of us win a pony, you just wait and see.

David -

Daaaaa - viiiiiiiiiiid!

Come and tell us. And then hand out the ponies. You know what happens otherwise, LOL

Ooops! I forgot all about it! *blush*

Okay. The answer is......................................

Be Patient!

Wait for it........

A capstan!

Handspikes were inserted into the holes, it was then turned to bring up the anchor or move other heavy objects.

David In Indy · « **Reply #7 on:** July 29, 2008, 10:56:57 pm »

I'm not handing out ponies this time. And we won't be sending and receiving any RABBITS either... (Chrissi!

).... instead I will hand out lambs from Ennis and Jack!

So, it looks like three people answered the question correctly.

Therefore......

(Don't you love all this formality/!!)

Chrissi gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.......

Kerry gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.........

And Kelda gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.........

Now I've posted a new game! Go take a look at it, and I promise I won't forget about it this time!

Gosh! I won! I never win anything! $:-\$

Now I have to try to figure-out what on earth I can possibly do with a lamb in my city apartment!

Can I trade-in the lamb on a kitty, please David?

injest · « **Reply #11 on:** July 30, 2008, 12:11:03 am »

Lambs may be exchanged for kitties (or ponies) down at the corner pet shop! Just take your lamb in there and tell them David and Bettermost said it is okay!

injest · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2008, 01:16:47 am »

hey Kerry!! I got the kitty!!

he probably thought it was a Oreo cat and wanted to play!

David In Indy · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2008, 01:36:33 am »

It's hard telling what he thought. I stopped trying to figure out that dog ages ago!

Kerry · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2008, 02:40:01 am »

It must be wonderful living in such a beautiful part of the world, where wild creatures come to call. I see lots of birds where I live, some of them quite spectacularly beautiful parrots and rainbow lorikeets.

But I never get any cute, furry little creatures dropping in to say hello. About the only furry creatures I see at my place are the obnoxious huntsman spiders that live in the trees. And them I can well and thoroughly do without!

I do see the occasional fruit bat fly by at night. They have fur but are definitely not cute. And they smell.

It's ok sweetie. Just the other day I reported how much I love lamb on the 1000+ thread.

They thaste good with chanterelles and tomatoes

No, I would never ... not this one. It's from my friend David and from Ennis and Jack ... it will live in my backyard and I will pamper it till it dies of old age!

Thank you for the sweet lamb David. I will cherish it and NOT exchange it for a pony.
