Came over here from Red’s site. I had been thinking of doing something like this for a couple of weeks now but seeing your photos, I think maybe I’m just not clever enough. These are good. Some are easy, some are hard and some are downright disturbing.
My guesses nonetheless:
1) Playing card.
2) I would have said celery although it’s very BRIGHT celergy but who am I to argue with your refigerator lighting?
3) This is the city center of Mold Town. I think I saw this in the bottom of my co-worker’s coffee mug that she never takes home NOR cleans. And she’s proud of that fact.
4) Others are probably right that it’s an iron…I was going to say weights like in a gym because I can’t remember the last time I saw an iron and it is now foreign to me.
5) Definitely a compass.
6) Dandelion
7) Either rebar or a serious black and white close up of someone’s corn rows. (hair, not plant.)
8) Um….a gold plated snail shell?
9) My first thought was vaccuum cleaner brush until I noticed the black goop…so either you have very dirty floors or this is mascara.
10) My first thought was to run. Then I thought, maybe she’s in to cow tongue. Then someone said animal nose and now it makes sense.
11) A glass plant, tchotchke stuff…the kind you get your mom on mother’s day when you can’t think of anything else.
How’d I do?

Gaaah! The suspense is killing me! I’m wearing out my F5 and still NOTHING from you. This may cause me to drink — I hope you’re happy. (Well technically I’m drinking already, but I could make a persuasive argument that this mystery quiz of yours, and subsequent silence, drove me to it.)

I’m not going to guess at any of these…just had to say that the sight of No. 10 is totally freaking me out. WHAT THE HECK IS IT?

Dear Jenny,
I believe you encountered all of these items on your last trip to Las Vegas.
Love,
Vivian

No. 11, is it the flower of the agave (agave tequilana weber azul)?

Each and every photo is a tool you are using to fix your “remember me” button, isn’t it?

Ummm…
1. I’m going to agree w/ the king. He looks royal, but determined, so I’m thinking spades.
2. Those do look like the q-tips with the plastic middle.
3. I don’t know where you would have found a frog, so no to that. It’s green, so I’m going to say a plant. But nothing like I’ve ever seen. An alien plant? Is this some sort of code to say that you were abducted?
4. Iron.
5. Compass would explain the SE, at least.
6. A dandelion seed!
7. It looks metallic-esqe. Ah, more proof of the abduction… it’s the inside of their spaceship!
8. Corkscrew? It’s twisty and then the red blur could sort of be the handle.
9. Mascara brush.
10. I can’t even make something up. No way the aliens even had something that weird.
11. Well, it looks like a bunch of Xmas tree lights clustered together, but I don’t know it’s function. An alien beacon?
Whew, that was tough!
