Thanks for posting that top picture. That lever is exactly what I pictured, but I had no idea what the front looked like.

In fact, I started doing a frantic Google image search after I posted my guess in the hopes I would find something that would look like the image in my head. I found nothing, but I guess that's because this thing is now decades old.

I really enjoyed this installment of the game. It was a challenge. Thank you, sir.

You're most welcome! I like this game too. Man... .you're good.

Seriously, as far as I knew, that thing didn't even exist before glatt nailed it.

Once in a hotel, I saw a round chrome hockey puck thing attached to the bathroom wall. There was a little button thing in the center. I wondered what the hell it was, so I pulled on the button, and this long line came out. It stretched all the way across to the opposite wall where there was a bracket to accept the button. Instant clothes line. I was impressed and remembered that. I've seen them in some hotels since then. So I knew such a thing existed, but never saw one like BigV's

I have that exact thing (glatt's picture, not BigV's) in my laundry room. Less than $10 off Amazon. Works great for that occasional thing that can't go in the dryer.

Heh, heh...that's what she said!

I thought I was all clever because I noticed the strings. Puh. One of these days...

What is this? (may be sort of a repeat, maybe)

Prolly won't take too long...

... that needs cleaning ...


At first it looked like something Happy Monkey had made.
