Cloggers unite!

Clontest

It is time once again to drop a new Clontest on your collective tooshies. We have been lucky so far with all the Clontests we’ve ran in the fact that they all share a running theme:

No one has won.

We’re not sure if it’s because your IQs are too low, or if our IQs are too busy being pussies about giving stuff away, but this Clontest will change all of that. Up for grabs this time is a copy of Dominatricks, Movers & Shakers and some of Rich Aviles’ actual body hair. The Clontest itself is simple. Take a look at this photo:

Clontest

All you have to do is tell us who this man is, and what is he holding in his left hand. For any answers to be considered eligible, they must be posted as a comment to this post. The first person to post the correct answer will win the prize package. What are you waiting for? Start posting!

The Clontest will end May 30, 2008 at 12:00pm GMT if no correct answers have been posted.

Hints: Even if you don’t recognize who the man is, we guarantee that you all know him and what he is holding. His name is instantly recognizable although some of you might not know what he really looks like. Figuring out the answer to one of the questions will help deduce the other one.

We’re throwing you an easy one here, so make us proud!

* Many of you already own Dominatricks and Movers & Shakers, so if you’re among this group and you win, we’ll make sure to throw some other cool stuff your way.

    No idea, but thats Eugene Burgers book on the table :P

    I guess he’s holding a nail?

  2. NAquada Says:

    well it’s Eugene Burger.. minus the beard… (good Barber-Shoping!!!)

    and the thing I imagine is a card.. from the size and colour.. most likely face away from the audience….

  3. Lee Asher Says:

    I believe it’s a photo of Eugene Burger holding a Fan-Ta-Stick.

  4. Ryan Pilling Says:

    It’s Eugene, holding a straight razor, saying “finally, I’ve achieved my dream of looking just like Guy Camirand”.

  5. raj madhok Says:

    Could that be Ben Harris and his Cosmosis?

  6. Matt Keys Says:

    Eugene Burger holding his business card with a prediction on it. The prediction says “Matt will not win the prize, he is an idiot.”

  7. Rich Aviles Says:

    I didn’t realize so many people were interested in winning my body hair.

  8. NAquada Says:

  9. Jeroen Says:

    What;s my dad doing there on that photo? ;-) his coin palmed in downs palm is conceiled very good not? Card as cover genious!

  10. Mathias Kersting Says:

    Eugene Burger holding a playing card, either the card is a “prediction” card or a selection.

  11. Keith MacDonald Says:

  12. Brian Says:

  13. Tyler Wilson Says:

    Hey Guys,
    Wow, you all seem to be going down a similar path.

    Unfortunately, no one has guessed the right answer yet, so please keep posting your best solutions.

    Here’s a hint: Modified Hydrogenated Canola Oil

    Tyler Wilson

  14. Andy Nicholls Says:

    Eugene Burger with a tarot card.

  15. Leon Says:

    Wild guess here, is it JK Hartman holding a playing card?

  16. Leon Says:

    Second guess would be Karl Fulves holding a playing card

  17. Rich Aviles Says:

    To save shipping on my hair, I’ll go ahead and answer the question myself.

    It’s quite obvious really. It’s Andi Gladwin holding his favorite photo, lemon party.

  18. Aloysius Adrian Says:

    Let me guess, he is Eugene Burger wearing a fake cheek and mouth, and the beard is cut by photo-editing :)

    He is holding a blank business card :)

  19. Elliot Van Cayzeele Says:

    That’s easy…

    That is Francis Tabary performing Thimble magic.

  20. Jorge Ramos Says:

    I really thought it was a card but since it isn’t I’ll take a wild guess. Eugene Burger holding the candle he uses to burn the string in his gypsy thread.

  21. Mathias Kersting Says:

    Hmm…canola oil….Eugene holding his diet-list? (that was not meant to be disrespectful in anyway)

  22. John Says:

    Is it Eugene Burger holding Eugene’s last dollar?

  23. Leon Says:

    Is it Eugene Burger holding a Eugene’s Coin Clip?

  24. Awhan Says:

    It IS Eugene Burger and guess he is holding a playing card !

  25. Thomas Says:

    It’s Andi Gladwin holding an incense stick…

  26. dale shrimpton Says:

    It appears to be Eugene Burger , and hes holding a playing card in his right hand. In his left hand, is …nothing

  27. Vito Says:

    Eugene Burger dressed as Steve Jobs demonstrating the new iPhone.

  28. mrehula Says:

    Here’s a hint: Modified Hydrogenated Canola Oil

    Tyler Wilson

    Oh, I get it. It’s Modified Hydrogenated Canola Oil holding a playing card. Very tricky, making it look like Eugene sans beard.

  29. David Says:

    Eugene Burger with a piece of flash paper?

  30. Brendan Says:

    Is it Eugene Burger with a specific card like the Jack of Diamonds or something?

  31. Carey Says:

    Modified Hydrogenated Canola Oil?

    Maybe it’s a Burger (Eugene) with Fries (fried in Canola)?

  32. Carey Says:

    All kidding aside, it looks like Eugene has the red envelope on the table, so he must be holding one of the possible predictions from his variations on Kohler’s Black Envelope. It’s either the 2 of spades, 5 of diamonds, 6 of clubs, or 8 of hearts. Since we’re talking about oil, I’m guessing 8 of hearts, as in heart attack form too much oil!

  33. Carey Says:

    sheesh. Make that “heart attack FROM too much oil”

  34. Geoff Williams Says:

    It’s definitely Eugene Burger holding his all-time favorite magic prop: a hot rod.

  35. wholook Says:

    12pm GMT? Although none of my guesses fits the hint like a puzzle piece with its neighbouring puzzle piece, it’s time for a last-minute entry.

    Looking at it simply, I would have thought it’s a beardless Eugene Burger holding a card, but since it is said to be wrong, could it be a piece of flash paper? Or something more bizzare, like a cue card or a razor blade?

    But considering the wicked minds of clog editors, the “left hand” probably refers to that little bit of flesh at the bottom left-hand corner of the photo. Who is he? Tyler himself? Holding… the frame of the photo itself? A pen? Nothing at all?

  36. John Says:

    Is it Eugene Burger holding his Gypsy Thread?

  37. Keith Says:

    Though it has already been said, I think the right answer is Eugene Burger with a fan-ta-stick.

  38. Elliot Van Cayzeele Says:

    When wil we get the results?

  39. John Says:

    I take it noone was close to getting it right?

  40. Jamie Badman Says:

    It looks like Charlie Miller holding a playing card. Hope I win ‘cos my copy of Dominatrix has coffee all over it…

  41. Mathias Says:

    Any updates? Because itt is waaaaay past the deadline.

  42. Jorge Says:

    what happened with this contest tyler? any updates. anyone?

  43. Shaun Robison Says:

    It is ROY WALTON wearing a Eugene Burger mask without the beard
    Getting ready to do his Card Warp. He is holding a card….

  44. Jamie Badman Says:

    It’s Guy Camarind.

  45. chris mayhew Says:

  46. Elliot Van Cayzeele Says:
