The "What Is This?" game

[Janx101]

I know I'm gonna hate it when the actual purpose is revealed..... Total homer D'oh moment probably!

[Kiwingenuity]

Ahhhhhhhhhh makes sense could have sworn I seem one but no idea what it was

[pliskin]

Identify either one. For the bike you must get make and model.

Hmm, don't remember exactly what they're called but that first thing looks like one of those plasma disc thingies, kinda like a flat plasma ball only more lightning-y looking on the inside.

BINGO! Badot got it first guess. It's a mini plasma disk.
And for the bike it's my old American Lifan GY-200 (China bike).

[Badot]

Well I don't have anything too interesting and I've been rather sick so I don't feel like scrounging something up... so I'm passing it off to whoever gets a picture of their odd thing up next.

[oldmech]

I'll put one up...what the heck. this not a thing mechanical but i think still counts since it is strange in nature to some folks. its an ethnic food. and some people don't know what it is.. shouldn't be too hard for pollocks or slovack people.

[pliskin]

Those there are some really messed up pierogies

Those there are some really messed up pierogies

as both polack and slovakian ancestry ( along with 13th century german too) this looks like a mean my great aunt used to make. btw that lightning disc thing i want for the goped lol.

[pliskin]

They do look tasty. Back in my bachelor days I fried up many a pierogi. It was all I could afford after I spent all my money on beer. Ahhh, memories.
