Okay, old #2 ....... It seems like looking through some sort of colored glass, but what, precisely? How about a glass Christmas tree ornament?

Guess #1 Traffic Light Lens
Guess #2 Power-On Light on a 1970ish piece of electronic equipment, possibly a stage amp.

Post #88 is the hole in the side of an empty above ground pool from the inside.

#88 is a glory hole into a bullpen

I seem to recall we were given the answer to the glowy green thing once before, and I didn't know what it was even after I was told...

Here's the explanation for post #2:

At camp this year, we got a chance to learn all about firing a muzzleloader, and part of that process was cleaning them. At the end of the cleaning procedure, before reassembly, the barrel was inspected with this tool. Since a muzzleloader's barrel is more like a cup than a tube (ok, a really long tall thin narrow cup with a tiny leak at the bottom...nevermind), the borelight had to be dropped in from the muzzle and when it slid to the bottom, we were able to inspect it with the light it cast on the inside of the barrel. This is a picture of what I saw.

How to roll your own.

No more callers, please. We have winner!

At Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners, there is a pub/bar in left field. It is right at field level. There's a low overhanging roof with a window out into left field, covered by a net. When you're sitting at the bar looking out this window onto left field, to your left is the visitor's bullpen. This picture, #88, is a little round window with glass (or lexan probably) about the size of a baseball. looking onto the bullpen from the catcher's perspective. There are several of these little windows.

Good call glatt!

It immediately made me think of being behind one of the old-fashioned scoreboards...
...but I couldn't figure out what part of a ball field would have two walls that close together.

What is this?

Clodfobble · 07-27-2007, 06:49 PM

Ooh! Ooh! I know I know! But I'll be subtle about it in case anyone wants to guess.

It's multi-colored foam from a car wash! My car wash does the same thing, one color soap in each sprayer, so you're all rainbowed. But how did you get a picture of it? Did you drive out halfway through, or get out of the car mid-wash?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't give oral sex to the driver.
