WTF item of the week!

[whiterussian1974]

I'm going with either a network attached storage tower missing it's hard drives (probably SCSI) or a optical disk cloning center missing it's drives.

You are sort of close.
It isn't a printer and the drive it is attached to can be SCSI, Or Fiber or ESCON or FICON attached. It is used for data backup and archiving. It is however missing some slots but not for disk drives.

I'll spill the beans if no answer by tomorow

We're still waiting...

It's a big pot 3gal and two edible items were made in it.
Some say you can't live without a form of it and the other you can't catch but is always remembered.

Both items both got better the longer they were around and often compared the longer they were around.

Looks to me two holes, The clamp I think has the bend in it to not block the hole for filling, my thoughts.

I was thinking it filled from the side and the clamp was made that way because some shaft or line might be sticking out both ends.

Certainly possible something might be sticking out of the side and the bottom then filled from the top/clamp end.

May have to work more google fu on this one later but this is what I was thinking.

Oh Capt, my Capt!
Where is your answer?
Your use of the term 'around' may be a clever pun, or a poorly chosen synonym. Alongside, intermingled, steeped, aged, fermented, etc.

Cheese and wine? Beans and rice? Sausage and cabbage (kraut und wurst?)

Did you have a question or a answer?

[whiterussian1974]

My ? was "where's your answer" and a clearification of what 'around' is a clue for. A shape? A Process? A pairing?

The rest were possible answers based upon your clues.

But instead of being teased, I'd rather just get the answer. Too many days of contemplation w/o satisfaction has made me grumpy.

Just give us the answer and then we can claim, "Oh yeah. I was just ready to say that."

Around http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/around = 2c : in or near one's present place or situation <wait around awhile>
No double meanings.

Whoa!

Kreskin? Is that you?

[Capt. Link.]

Let me guess it has no bore no chamber and is California approved!!!!

[Fulliautomatix]

Looks like a plastic cap on the barrel threads.

Sorry the is a "megastar" IBM 3590 Tape drive in this case a model B1A that went inside a IBM 3494 Tape library controlled by an A60 Tape device controller and connect to a Z9 Mainframe.

Basically two fridge size cabinates that act like a juke box for Data Tapes that Have these tape drive and a device that allows you to connect the tape drive to a mainframe

I'm an airline pilot with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I know exactly what that is, but I won't spoil the fun. I will say that I love how you turned it into a kickass clock. Very cool.

Here is my submission and I can guarantee with almost 100% certainty you won't get it Ignore the clock as that was only a recent addition to make it into a piece of modern art for our office.

Hint 1: Aerospace
Hint 2: Born in CT
