Whose Snoot is it Anyway?

By
Home Inspector with King of the House Home Inspection, Inc. Home Inspector Lic #207
All right. Charles Buell has recently been getting a huge number of points for his blogs that feature guessing contests here at Active Rain. It seems that everyone likes to guess. Me, not being one to fall behind when it is time to make hay, decided that I would create my own guessing contest. Unlike his, where you get a cheapo prize, my contest has no prize whatsoever other than a confirmation that you could probably make it as a detective. 

The format of this contest goes back to my days in broadcasting, a take off on a contest where we had a mystery man who recorded clues. He was a real man about town and people had to guess on the air the name of the mystery man from the clues provided. You get it, who was that masked man?

Let us move on to today's contest. I want to see if anyone can identify the owner of this snoot? That is the question of the day. I will give you a hint, it spends a fair bit of every day nosing about in other people's business here at Active Rain.

 

Good luck and I hope you win. The non-prize is plentiful.

Beginning tomorrow, Fri, I will blow up --pardon the expression -- more and more of this face until someone recognizes this AR member.

Michael,

You are the man. He played coy but I have to think that Charlie knows.

I hope that everyone, and that Charlie knows, that I handled this matter with the greatest sensitivity and dignity so he would in no way feel he had been teased or made fun of at all.

I am so MAD!  You put that nose up while I was working.  Some of you guys must not ever work......I could have guessed that nose in a minute but you didn't give me a chance.  Thus, since I lost out on the non-prize, I think I should have a real prize.  I'd like an autographed photo of Elvis!

Barbara, I wholeheartedly agree---that snoothead owes you the signed photo of Elvis.  He obviously has nothing better to do than to pick on me.

Barbara,You are more observant than Charlie. I really don't think he knew until Michael told him. Really.

Steven, he's weird.  Look at that wallpaper.  Doesn't look anything like the Elvis that I want.  In fact, that will probably be his next contest.  What the devil is in this wallpaper?  Let's boycott.

Hey, wait just a minute!!  It's YOU I'm mad at!!!  GGRRRRRRR.......

I do not get the wall paper either. You are right. He is a freak.

I probably would have been better off over here at the Snoot contest. This is funny... too bad I missed it.  An interior decorator my dad is not which is why he is likely going to wall paper his entire house with the "nose paper" The noses seem so happy dancing with each other.  Good thread!

Kevin,

I am not surprised. I think the old coot has so often had his snoot in other people's business that we know what it looks like.

WOW ..... I always liked Zorro, but I have no idea who is behind the mask. As for the nose, I was going to guess Charlie.

Sean,

 

I knew that you or Barbara would ace it. But you were both away. Too bad you did not win the non-prize.
