[Edit-the button give-a-way is over, but keep the object nominations coming!]It's been a long time since we've done this. This is your chance to name an object for me to use in a shot.
Mention your one (1) object (spork, lemon, etc. And by the way, these two have been done already), then mention an object that someone else has already named. This way, we get a sort of voting process going on.
I'll tally the votes Saturday at 9:00 E.S.T. in the U.S.
One more thing. I'm holding a little give-away. The first five people to send me an image of themselves eating an orange snack each get a Mini Strangely Orange Snack Day Button. (Warning- I'll probably post them!). Be sure to include your address with your picture!

How about a Nerf dart?
a juicer - have you done that one yet?
:)
Am I really the first to comment?
A rubix cube. Or maybe a name tag holder (the plastic kind)
How about the ubiquitous water bottle (disposable or otherwise)?
A bunch of single radishes (as opposed to a single bunch of radishes)
How about a USB Drive
wow -- no one follows directions, do they? how about some batteries (new)
and I like the idea of darts, but they don't have to be nerf ones.
I like the idea of a usb drive!
How about the ubiquitous mp3 player?
In honor of SOSAD, I nominate a Cheetos Twisted cheese puff. (They're corkscrew-shaped)
And I second the rubix cube; there are lots of good possibilities with that one.
I vote for coffee bean(s). ***It's been so long since I've seen a comment from (and it's been so long I don't even really remember their name) Pike Peak Coffee or was it Dark Roast Coffee, they were always voting for coffee beans.***
As for a 2nd object, because I don't like what's been suggested so far (no offense guys). I'm going to suggest a clothespin either the old-fashioned or newer version.
On with the blather
I second the single radishes.
And I nominate a set of coasters. Simply because I can't think of what you might use them for. :)
The secret life of remote controls...you know the ones you find weeks later in the couch cushions...
iPod (I assume this is the ubiquitous mp3 player...IS there another?)
A lightbulb, any kind.
I like the juicer idea, either a handheld wooden reamer or the kind with a little dish.
i vote for nail clippers, and i will second the vote for clothespins.
An egg slicer.
And I'll second the coasters.
Did you already get 5 ppl's photos?
How about an ice cube?
I like the clothespin idea.
would an iphone be too expensive?
shotgun glass and clothespins.
man am i tired... (shotGUN glass? lol)
i second the ice cube and propose..those foam things you use to separate toes for pedicures.
I am torn between the nerf dart and the usb drive.
I nominate a computer mouse. :)
I like the ice cube for the logistical difficulty
how about a roll of toilet paper?
I vote for the speciment in the jarr.
I second the light bulb - especially the teeny 15 watt ones... but I nominate the wee egg whisks (which have a proper name that escapes me at the moment).
To the secret life of the remote controls ... what about of the secrete life of the single socks in the laundry? In combination with clothpins?
How 'bout a rotary phone?
I like the ice cube idea.
i'm gonna go w/ a shotglass for my vote...and say keys for my original :)
erm..how about a button..i also like ice cube..
Ice cube!
and I suggest a wishbone.
Hey folks! As of 7:39 a.m., there are 3 buttons left for the taking.
I like the USB drive idea. How about pairing it with an old floppy disk (if you can find one!)
Hi, I love the idea of a cupboard door just to really test your skills and see if you can create amazing things with any size! (I always find a little flattery helps!)
I like the idea of 'wonderfully misunderstood' with rubik's cube!
Hx
Love the ice cube - would like to see the "back story" on how you manage the logistics on that one.
How about some Good-N-Plenty... (she says as she scarfs down a box for breakfast - not orange, but hey...)
How about a butterfly style hair clip, and I like the clothespin suggestion (old).
Must find a camera for a picture!
Yep, the ice cube adds difficulty points for sure!
I don't think I've seen a cell phone in an entry yet...
I like the clothspin idea.
I'd also suggest seedlings, as it is garden season!!
A bottle of food dye for my nomination, and I have to Nth the ice cube.
Seconded: a cell phone.
And I'll nominate a music cassette tape.
I'd like to see an eyelash curler, simply because there are few grooming tools as strange-looking.
For my vote, I also like the Nerf dart.
For a new item... how about the Twitter logo?
My vote goes for the shot glass.
How about a spark plug? A distributor cap with wires as an octopus? A cell phone maybe? I notice someone else said shot glass. That seems difficult, but it would be great to see.
an paperclip in it's natural habitat and still shaped like a paperclip? (oooh evolution of a paperclip . . >)
or some under-appreciated boring-colored snack trying to color itself orange . .. so, therefore, I see the above mentioned food dye and RAISE them to orange food dye!
How about a corn cob holder by itself. (I know there is one in the OXO post).
Hmm, for a new object, maybe various condiment packages (ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.).
I definitely 2nd the Eyelash curler. Those are weird, and yet useful. :)
-Heather
(btw, received my SOSAD shirt yesterday, and proudly wearing it to work today. Everyone loves it! :) )
I second the nail clipper and offer a staple remover for consideration.
I second the toe separator for pedicures and nominate a crochet hook.
a pair of glasses
...and I'm voting for rubix cube
I nominate a dog treat.
I second ice cube.
I'm sorry, but I have to go with two to start. An orange sherbert Jelly Belly jelly bean and/or an orange salt water taffy.
As for my vote... I like the juicer! (Hey, can't you see the juicer with the orange or cantaloupe jelly bean!)
Have fun
2 buttons left!
i think you should use one of those sticky rollers for picking up animal hair on clothes...
as for my vote...i would have to say...radishes...single radishes make me laugh...
I vote for ice cubes, and nominate candles, lit or otherwise.
A roll of liquorice strings?
a ribbon
and I like the ice cube idea
From previous entries I like the USB drive.
For my nomination I have to go with popcorn, can't recall seeing you do one with popcorn and that makes me sad.
Alright going to find a strange orange snack..
How about a lighter?
Maybe the lighter together with the ice cube.
My votes are for the ice cube, the USB drive, and the eye lash curler.
Argh, there are way too many good ones. I'm torn between seconding: ice cube, clothes pin, shot glass, bottle of food coloring, popcorn, eyelash curler and seedlings.
As for my own sggestion, how about Cinnamon Bears (or just gummi bears, mini or regular)? Also: cherries, because they are so cute when attached in twos. Or how about marshmallows?
Okay, i'm leaving now.
My idea: a "positive" pregnancy test
My vote: eyelash curler!
my vote a corn tortilla
I second the lonely dryer sock with clothespin.
taf
I suggest Band-Aids (What does the anthropomorphized Band-Aid use when he hurts himself?).
I vote for the bunch of single radishes.
um...a paintbrush or a letter opener, or a melonballer! yeah, a melonballer...
and I vote for the radish...cause they are the greatest color.
Please do a scene with a Big Cheez-It and some little Cheeze-It offspring!
I like the water bottle suggestion. They are so random in size and shape - a crowd...
Need to order my SOSAD T-shirt - too cool!
a giant round cracker destroying a city of square crackers
I suggest: artichoke (they look so weird!)
My vote: egg slicer (they could look so scary!)
I like the nail clippers idea.
A dart
A flashlight
I've got five pics! No more pins for now. Thanks for those who participated in that part of the contest!
I keep thinking of more ideas. I can't stop.
Back scratcher
hole-punch
spiral binding from a notebook
jars of colorful glitter
mickey mouse or other silly antenna topper
random Barbie parts
baby pacifiers
flaming marshmallow/s'mores maybe witha girlscout theme . .
I should take my meds. lol
Mmmmm... a tiny baby shoe,
a diamond earring, a perfume bottle (or nail polish bottle?),
a candle (lit or otherwise),
dogtags, a medal and a MRE (meal ready to eat) from the military?
It looks like ice cube will take the cake... ah, well. I tried again (I was the monopoly piece girly from last time ;)
I like seedlings, pacifiers.
I suggest an engagement ring (or other ring).
I suggest a pair of glasses.
I also like the suggestions of a remote control and buttons.
i like the eyelash curler idea...
how about a corkscrew? i always thought they looked like little people...
Summertime fun ... WATER BALLOONS!!!
I have always been fond of the ICE CUBE idea, too.
Second the ice cube. Also the water balloons (certainly an interesting technical challenge).
What about leaves in honor of spring/summer?
I like the Rubiks Cube idea!
I like the nerf dart idea...
How about a twinky?
Lipstick
ice cube
Ice cube!!!
What about creating characters from a movie from some of the above mentioned items? Eg, lipstick becomes Lois Lane while the nerf dart becomes Superman. Could make for an interesting photo shot.

I suggest a buddha's hand (one of the weirdest looking fruit). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha%27s_hand
I second the Rubik's cube, just because my fiance is obsessed with them.
alyssa, do they have buddha's hands in your local grocery store? Maybe I've never looked that hard in the produce section. Maybe they keep them between the Granny Smith apples, and the Indiana Musk melons. Maybe all my friends eat them as a snack, and I'm just not clued in yet.
I just reread my comment to poor alyssa, and I think it sounds a little harsh sorry, alyssa.
-but buddha hands on Bent Objects? Um, no. ;)
My recommendation is hair curlers with maybe some bobby pins
I like so many but I'm going to have to go with Rubik's Cube and the individual condiments.
well, after a quick run-through, looks like two cubes are in the lead so far-- rubics' and ice.
i usually start thinking about the ones out in front,
but you never know what will happen.
potato chips, potato crisps,anything potato based together like one big mixed family..hehe i think it's silly and fun.
An ice cube and matches.
egg slicer
whiffle ball
Terry--yes, they have buddha's hands in my local grocery stores. I live in Oakland, CA. Greatest produce anywhere. I understand if it might be difficult to get in Indiana. I grew up in Iowa and never saw one but things change... I still think it would be cool on Bent Objects. Can I mail you one? ;)
Wishbone (old) and chicken wire (new)
How about a baby pacifier or one of those little booger suction things for infants?
And I like the idea of the ice cube...so many endless possibilitied there.
