What Is It? game 198



It's once again time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what the pictured item is? Can you make up something interesting?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

For more clues, check out the What Is It? Blog. Good luck -you're going to need it!

Update: the pictured item is a "beer growler." It's a container used to carry draft beer home before the use of bottles. See a picture of them being filled at the What Is It? blog. Red Neptune was the first commenter who knew the answer, but did not select a shirt. The funniest answer? Oscar the Grouch's starter home, you know, when he was little. Cristal was the first of several to suggest this one, so she wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop!

It is a bucket used for collecting maple sap for boiling down to maple syrup. The other side probably has a hole near the top edge where the "spigot" would be tapped into the tree and the bucket hung from.

This is the pot that contains the gold at the end of the rainbow. It is made to look shabby to mislead passers by into thinking it is a worthless and repellant poo pot, so they will not sneak off with the gold, but anyone brave enough to open the lid will be rich.

Oscar's first home. It is probable it was once some old lunch pail that needed an occupant to dispose of the rancid food that a Taiwanese woman with testicles atempted to make for her "other half"......

This is a container that the bankers put out on Wall Street. The OWS-ers can write out their demands and put them in the pot, which will later be counted and analyzed by the entire banking community in order to make equitable changes in their financial practises.

Or it's the bucket for the leprechaun's gold, like Astrella said. Equally likely.

This was the inspiration for the original idiom "The pot calling the kettle somewhat weatherbeaten yet still relatively shiny in places"... however its owner, Gus "Washin' stuff is fer sissies" McGrizzly, caused the metaphor to develop into the simpler version we use today. Having completed its duty, the pot has been fully restored and now sits next to a gift-wrapped stallion and a couple of bemused arboreal birds!

Trick Question. It's suppossed to look like an ordinary metal pot with a lid, but the Bush Administration didn't invade Iran because of tin pot ideas, they invaded because of WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! Which is what this is. really, thats why its in a museum.

I withdraw my drippings response as it was there before mine, however I think there is a delay because the first one to say it before me his/her post was not there......

It was the Addam's Family's first container for Thing. Thing didn't like it and spelled out his longing for a posher 'home' so the Addams family got him a very nice, velvet lined box with a special lid fashioned with an interior handle. Not prone to throwing stuff out, the Addams family put cardboard in the bottom of the bucket so Wednesday Addams could store her dolls' heads in there.

in the old days before pasteurized and sanitized beer in bottles and cans you had to go to the pub and bring your beer home in a pail. This was immortalized in the song "My bucket's got a hole in it". What you got here is an old timey beer pail, and since the person that guessed correctly didn't leave a shirt request; Friend/Enemy black XL.

An ash bucket, for collecting the ashes from a woodstove or fireplace. Metal buckets are used so if there are any warm embers, they will be contained in the bucket until they burn out. Thereby preventing an unintentional fire.

Maybe it's just an ordinary pot with a lid for every day use. Maybe this is a trick question this time... So, my 'guess' is it's just a plain old 'Universal' pot with a lid.

Barf bucket for when I get motion sick. Don't want the contents sloshing out and getting everyone else sick too now do we? ;)

The two pieces are not originally a set. The lid is from a common aluminum camp cookware set or "mess kit." These are still available. The bottom is an old enamelware bucket that the lid happens to fit.

Looks like a billy. Used to be used by drovers/travellers to boil water for tea. My ste-dad still uses one when he ges camping and they're available from most camping stores.

That's the helmet and shield the kid next door wore when he rode my golden retriever in jousting matches. He was undefeated except for once.

Did you forget? It's R2D2 from before the Special Edition. Agent J must have used the flashy-thingy on all of you, cause apparently I am the last one who remembers this.
