A place to talk about any weird or unusual stuff in your possession

For me:
- Several packs of Super Mario Bros. the Movie trading cards. Found them cheap at GDC and couldn't resist x3
- Plastic tags inside a shirt collar saying "SO YOU FOUND THIS, NOW WHATS [sic] NEXT?" ...I have no idea, shirt
- 9+ page Word document of my misreadings (haven't updated in forever though...)

Oh boy. I'm a purveyor of the weird, so the list will be long.

  • Resin skull cast
  • Size S Magic The Gathering t-shirt, black (I wear size L)
  • Two severed rubber head props
  • A very old decorative cardboard box I found in the back of the office closet. It was supposed to get binned anyway
  • A manual for Norton Commander (do you even remember Norton Commander?!)
  • A taxidermied fish, a tropical pike of some kind (I also had a taxidermied blowfish, but I donated it to my high school ages ago)
  • Three Dell palmtops

A red spiral-bound notebook entitled "Some Kind of a List or Something" which contains... a list of random people/animals/Pokemon.

  • Two letters from the marquee of a drive-in theater

  • A seat from in front of the snack bar of another drive-in theater

  • Hundreds of shopping mall brochures from the 90s (you know, those little store maps they used to hand out)

  • Dozens of hotel directories (the booklets hotels used to hand out that listed all their locations); my best is probably a 1970 Holiday Inn directory

  • A completely untouched 24-pack of Kmart store brand crayons

  • An unopened travel toothbrush from Perry Drugs (which went out of business in 1995)

  • Every issue of Fish Police

Not exactly weird but I thought I'd mention it. For our last english class of the school year, our teacher gave each of us a big M&M's chocolate bar and a stress ball. It was a cute "goodbye" gift.

Still have my cyanobacteria culture approaching its 11th birthday. It hasn't been unsealed since it was started but it's been slowly losing water somehow over the past year (salt probably caused the seal to deteriorate I think) , but I'm afraid of disturbing Stromatolite Jr. after so long.

I have a deer skull as a bookshelf ornament. Found it in the forest, by an uprooted tree.

I would have also kept the spine I found next to it, but it was impossible to get it clean enough.

you got time? Drumstick with lip-marks from one of the blue man group. A clown mask I took from a haunted house. A raven figurine with the beak chipped off. Like, 14 loose nine-volts. Most of Ultimate Spiderman. A lot more I can't remember. my room looks like a dump.

There's a few videotapes from the UK in my room, even though I'm American. One of said videotapes is a copy of Robots.

And yes, we have a TV that can play the tapes.

An old LCD display from Dave & Buster's that shows how many chips a game costs. We hang it on the Christmas tree like an ornament.

Last year for Christmas, a friend gave us a tiny pair of crocheted reindeer antlers for our guinea pigs to wear. As you'd expect, guinea pigs don't really like being dressed up.

The Beanie Baby Runner the Ferret, with the recalled "mean" poem:

I'm not so mean, I'm really shy

But every cobra has to die

I grab them by their little head

And whack them 'til they're stone cold dead

The tag, with the poem, has been removed. My kid tore it off when she was a toddler. So, my Bad Ferret has no resale value, but that's okay, she still has the mean poem in her heart. [lol]

Let’s see...

A Bulgarian remembrance ring from WWI

A plague doctor mask (modern)

A poster from the 80s that says “You shoulda gone into archeology - your career lies in ruins” feat. Jimmy Carter. It’s as hokey as it sounds.

A slew of leftover anthropology books from college, but the one I leave out for shits and grins is “The Haunting Fetus”.

A nearly photorealistic skull jar. I use it for hard candies.

A 3 ft charizard plush I got back in middle school when Pokemon first was a thing.

Does it count that I have Joanna Newsom's album Divers... on cassette? note 

Or that I have just pre-ordered Lissie's Castles on the same format?

Oh yeah, I now actually own a Vietcrystal cart - though it's a repro. I actually found a few glitches I wasn't even aware of! note 

Also the full DVD collection of Chargeman Ken!, that's pretty weird right
