The Wuzzit Challenge - Here it is, next door to the 10th of September and I am messing around with one of those Mill Otter "Challenge" things. I am not going to pick on you all with a challenge to write something - like a poem of some sort, for example. I will do things in about the laziest way that I can think of doing them. I will mess up a photo and see how many of you fine folks can guess what the original picture was showing. Was it a potato pancake, a Buick automobile radiator cap, the logo from a pair of sneakers? Your guess is probably just as good as the next one, but it may be OK to give you a little hint - like put a buzz in your ear as to what it used to be before I messed around with the picture. Well, there's your hint, believe it or not. And here is another hint - Those three things are not it. The challenge part is really for you to post a picture for the rest of us and ask, "Wuzzit?" Have fun. If this kind of stuff gives you a giant headache, I will remind you that the quick cure for that is a big bowl just full of Cheerios and some sliced bananas (and as was recently suggested to me here on the big Mill Otter place, some cutup strawberries.) * * * * * * * * * * Image source: Gus Kilthau * * * * * * * * * *

I'm not clever enough to mess around with photos like you do, but my guess is that yours is a bee.

@rebelann - People here just plain seem to be bumbling into the correct answer. Sharp folks, these Mill Otters. -Gus-

A pineapple perhaps? Probably not, guess I'll just go down the list to see if you gave the answer to anyone............. You did give someone the answer, right??

@clrumfelt - Ms "CL" A "buzzing good" guess, and I would have used a messed-up photo of a hearing aid or an ear bud, however I did not have one of those handy to make a photo of it. 'Twas the back end of a fat bumblebee. -Gus-

Let see if I can get it right, I suspect that the image was mirrored both sides, but the colors are those of a bee, or a wasp, may be a bumblebee.

One Mill Otter thought: Wuzzit a banana once? But you'd look daft with one of those in your ear. Mind you, you've read of a hearing aid, a lemon in your ear might be a lemonade...?

@pgntwo - Friend PGN - Phonetically correct and an improvement of sorts, but photographically not as secure as "Mill Otter" (a critter of my invention to be representative of "us'ns") [we uns to some]. -Gus-

@rebelann Scraping the bottom of the barrel, was I? I think "Mile Otter" is a better term, but "Mill Otter" sounds more like a real type of otter, @Ceerios.

@Hatley - Ms Patsie - You are so right. Brings tears to my eyes just to consider how right you are. A bumbling old man here with his bumble bee. Guessed right out of the box by Ms Patsie, the gal with the sharpest eyes in town. -Gus-
