1. I think I’ll go sleep on this one. Maybe I’ll wake up with a clue.
   .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

   1. Alice — I hope the clue isn’t sharp and pointy! Ouch!

2. It’s a very cute picture, but I haven’t got a clue what it represents. Nope, sorry!
   .-= Jientje´s last blog ..Macro Monday, Looking Back … =-.

   1. Jientje — no clue? No bomb drills when you were a child?

      1. No, no bomb drills!!!

3. The d*mn hamsters aren’t running in their wheel fast enough… the photo is still downloading piece by piece for me, after ten minutes waiting.

   I am SO losing patience with rural island living. Grrrrrr.
   .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Just Draggin’ Along =-.

   1. Susan — I understand that my website was having issues this morning. Couple that with your website issues and you were doubly cursed.

      1. AAAGHH!! Missed it by EIGHT minutes too!

         Ah well there’s next week LOL.
         This was a good one!
         .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Eleven Boxes In the Sideboard =-.

         1. Susan — I think you’d have gotten it if your website had loaded faster. Tilden’s answer came in moments after your complaint that the photo wouldn’t load.

4. Hey Susan me too! About the downloading. I’m on an island but it’s a big one. And not all rural so it could just be Tinternet going slow.

   Oh, and I have outdone myself this week. You’ll all be bowled over at my guesses.
   ahem.
   .-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.

   1. Thumbelina — it must be harder to think up all those wacky answers than it would be to come up with the right one!

      1. I’m just a natural. *wink*
         (naturally whacky)
         .-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..The End. =-.

5. I just sent you my answer. Hope it’s not to wacky 🙂
   .-= Rosidah Abidin´s last blog ..Music & Musical Monday: I’ll Be There For You =-.

   1. Rosidah — your guess was perfect. A little earlier and you could have won!

6. I’m going to need a clue, sweetie. Cool post 🙂 Sue
   .-= Susan DeAngelis´s last blog ..Live my life to the What? =-.

   1. Susan — by the time I woke (I am in the last inhabited time zone in the world) there were already a slew of correct guesses, so no clues were forth-coming. Sorry!

7. I can’t tell what the thing is in the picture behind the ducky. I’m still thinking….
   .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Turn your eyes upon Jesus… =-.

   1. OK, my son pointed out it’s the lid to a pan, not a bowl like I had thought. But I am still coming up with nothing.
      .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Turn your eyes upon Jesus… =-.

      1. Barbara — a bowl with a handle in the middle?

         1. That’s why it wasn’t making sense. 😀
            .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Well, I never…! =-.

            1. LOL!

8. That’s just duckie! I’ll have to PONDer it. . . .
   .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Stray Affections =-.

   1. Linda — this comment quacked me up!

9. I love all the funny comments. I’m not clever enough to leave one, but did send a guess.
   .-= Raven´s last blog ..Progress So Far =-.

   1. Raven – -and you came in second place in the second place winners!

10. Well it AIN’T pheasant under glass! I’m suuuuuuure of that! Woman… did OC do this one? But I usually GET his… YOU must be responsible for this! I’m thinkin’ … i’m thinkin’…
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..A Visit With George & Martha =-.

    1. Melli — I had a ducky in a blanket. Amoeba told me to ditch the blanket and use a pan lid. You may blame us both!

11. Your blog is moving
    v e r r r r r y
    s l o o o w l y
    today.
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..A Visit With George & Martha =-.

    1. Melli — so sorry — I don’t know what’s up. I was having issues last night, too. It was quite frustrating.

12. The phrase is a reflected duck on a lid!
    Well, isn’t it? 🙂
    .-= Carletta´s last blog ..Mellow Yellow Ice Cream Cone =-.

    1. Carletta — after a bit of reflection I have to say … NO!

13. I tried but very late.I almost didn’t get here at all. It’s Labor day.
    .-= Dr. John´s last blog ..A Monday Rant =-.

    1. Dr. John — Labor Day, despite it’s name, is a day for play, so we are playing.

14. Crikey I haven’t a clue! 🙁
    .-= Akelamalu´s last blog ..Cyril & Tommy…….. =-.

    1. Akelamalu — luckily, your friends came along and solved the puzzle!

15. Hmmmm another abstract one I see.
    .-= Thom´s last blog ..Musical Monday – What Moves You? ~ Song You Love To Dance To =-.

    1. Thom — this is as concrete as they get. A duck and a cover. Perhaps the real issue is your inability to tell a duck from a chicken. Hmmm?

    2. CHICKEN?? LITTLE??
       Jesus Thom.
       .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Eleven Boxes In the Sideboard =-.

       1. whahahahaha!! ROFL!!
          .-= Jientje´s last blog ..Macro Monday, Looking Back … =-.

          1. Jientje — don’t encourage him! 😉

       2. Susan — that’s giving Thom waaaay to much credit.

          1. You may all bite me big time PFFFT…Good Day Ladies. Oh and by the way congrats to Tilden…Duck and Cover PFFFFFTTTTT
             .-= Thom´s last blog ..The Car Oracle and What Would You Do? =-.

             1. Thom, if we ever do come to bite you, you might just want to chicken and lid. Hahahahahahahahaha!

16. I sent in an answer hours ago and just thought of a better one.
    DAY-UM.
    Or wait… the lid is very shiny, like a mirror.
    It’s “The Mirror Quack’d” !?
    .-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Eleven Boxes In the Sideboard =-.

    1. Susan — you may send as many answers as you like as many times as you like until I post the results. And the mirror isn’t cracked, but you may be …?

17. Lid is there,
    The pot is not.
    Ducky must’ve smoked it.

    Nope, sleeping on it didn’t help a bit. Still coming up with nothing that ‘works’.
    .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

    1. Alice — not in my house he didn’t! I’d have tossed him out on his little fluffy tail! (But your comment quacked me up!) 😉

18. Okay… brain fart storm. Got hit with an idea so sent it in.
    .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

    1. Tried to cross out fart… didn’t work… sigh. Either poor use of code or this program doesn’t let me use code for that. Oh well. Have an awesome day.
       .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

       1. Alice strike Why not?

          1. What code did you use? Try strike and /strike in brackets.

             1. But I DID…. I really DID! Sheeesh!
                .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

             2. Well, then the only thing I can say to that is, it must not like you! LOL! 😉

19. Oh my gosh! Dennis and I were just sitting here trying to come up with SOMETHING else… and not having ANY luck, when suddenly you posted the answer! Well, CONGRATULATIONS to allllllllllllllll those smart people! I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of Duck and Cover… I only know Duck FOR cover! But obviously I don’t know much cuz 7 people got it RIGHT!!! Wow! I’m sO impressed!
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..A Visit With George & Martha =-.

    1. Melli — duck and cover came from the era of the cold war and bomb shelter and etc. There was even a jingle.

20. Congrats, Tilden! I had so many scatter-shot answers, I’m glad I finally got it, though I was late. I was afraid I was shooting all around it and not quite getting it.
    .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Well, I never…! =-.

    1. Barbara — well, since you were duck hunting, using the scatter-shot method was sensible, and in the end you did bag the bird!

21. Oh, and I meant to say that I really, really like Quack pot!!
    .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Well, I never…! =-.

    1. Barbara — I like all the quackpots who play this game and would have trouble picking one as my favorite. 😉

22. Wow. That was clever. The angle and the reflection (certainly not my idiocy, of course!) made me think that was a shallow bowl sitting on a plate with the duck and another item in it. The handle looks off-center.

    I guess my brain was abduckted. . . .

    I am so putting you in my blogroll!
    .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Stray Affections =-.

    1. I mean my reader. I’ve given up on my blogroll. . . .
       .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Stray Affections =-.

    2. Linda, your “abduckted” comment just made it to the top of my “Favorite comment of the day” list — which puts you in first and second! And just got you added to my reader! LOL!

23. excellent, may not have been here early enough to try, but it made me laugh, thanks Quilly!

    1. Alastair — you really should come by more often. We’re always laughing at something here.

24. i won!
    i won!
    i won! i won! i won!

    1. Tilden — well, jeez, least you could do is show some enthusiasm!

25. Congrats Tilden!! And to all those that got it too. I`m impressed. I didn`t come close, lol.
    .-= Alice in BC Canada´s last blog ..Laugh 5 =-.

    1. Alice — I thought this one super easy. I never predict right!

26. Clearly my brain was not working properly. I just looked and stared and came up with… nothing.
