WHAT IS THAT??!??

Below you will find five (5) images. The images are portions/partials, closeups, or digitally altered photos of real objects. One hint is given for each image. You must correctly guess what object is contained in the image.

The winner is the one who guesses the most images correctly in the shortest amount of time. Meaning, I will base the winners on who PM's the most correct answers FIRST. Time is calculated by the server when the PM is sent.

A tie occurs if two or more entries are sent with the same amount of correct answers at the same time based on (Hour:Minute) I will announce the tiebreaker game and rules if this does indeed occur.

Be sure your PM entry is formatted as stated above in the Contest Specific Rules.

I'd like to thank the academy, for knowing a winner when they see one; my mom and dad, who helped me become the person I am today; Tom Cruise, who makes me glad I'm not him; Mel Gibson, who's making sobriety fashionable again; Vladimir Putin, who reminds us all that you don't have to be pretty to be famous; Hillary Clinton, ditto; the past two Popes, who have made being Catholic interesting, if not exactly fun; and of course, my new best friend, Regden, whose unavailability made my win possible. *smooches*

Regden, ol' buddy, I'll buy you a beer, okay?
