a Canon ink cartridge tab that gets taken off before inserting a new cartridge in the printer
Seeing this object out in the street last week--and the pride I had from recognizing its random shape--prompted me to focus on all the unusual objects and shapes we see everyday. If you grew up in my house, many of the items below are common-place items but probably not so in all homes. Others are just plain odd.
Take a guess (some are easier than others) and check back next week for the answers to the pictures.
a Christmas light gun that effectively restores a burnt out strand of lights to a fully functional one
a ring holder (slip the rings you are not wearing onto the stem)
a letter opener (where would I be without my two)
part of a baby cabinet lock
a milk tab
a cinnamon stick
the lid to a Snack Trap cup for baby snacks (snacks stay in but fingers go in )
an egg separater bowl
a luggage rack (for incoming visitor luggage)
a candle mold
a furniture foot anti-hole making thing (can you tell I don't know the official name--it keeps heavy furniture from marking "weight" holes in the rug...works well)
a sweater anti-fuzz comb (gets rid of the little pills)
a toothpaste roller (never worked well though, fyi) to get the last bit out of the tube
a "real" film canister (know what that is?) but to Advantix film (oval shaped)
a cuff link
a touchpad that gets plugged into the wall and a lamp and makes any lamp into a touch lamp (love it!!! have 2 around the house)
cat nail clippers
an earring back
a plate wall hanger
Silver Dollar Plant
an old-fashioned metronome (to which the paper clip serves to keep up the less than tight weight)
no, not a crochet hook. an orange peeler
a carrot or other veggie curl-maker
an olive or cherry pitter (works great on olives!!!)
the back stand of an acrylic desktop picture frame
a cell phone charger plug
Aloe Vera
candied ginger
a boot-horn (works very well to remove boots)
an upside-down coffee creamer cup
a silver butter knife
a lamp socket
piano keys

I love these types of things! I'm still pretty good at identifying random objects...and deciding whether or not they are a threat when in the hands of students. You would be amazed how "creative" they are when it comes to being devious.
I wouldnt have recognized object number 1 until Monday of this week when I purchased a devise that required removing five of them before I used it. Not to give it away, but I love the CMYK-K approach - better quality, more economical in maintaining your image(s).
Is the second pic a biscuit cutter? We have an old wooden one that looks just like that!
