I have boxes and boxes of weird stuff I use to collect. Toys from the past thirty years and dolls from cheesy horror flicks like The Puppet Master. I don’t know why I spent the money on stuff I keep in boxes and can’t remember what half of it is.

Hmm.. I have a Czech phrase book, a miniature sock monkey, and a collection of quarter machine figurines.

(I use the quarter machine figurines as prizes for geocaching.)

Shiny blue luchador mask, although I swear they’re going to take off any day now.

A back scratcher. I LOVE it – especially going through chemo and my skin was always dry and itchy. There are only so many times a husband is willing to scratch without groaning. :)

@Empress, I have quarter machine religious statues. The Pope is really awesome in his detailing. And I have a mini sock monkey as well.

@AP: I mostly tend towards monkeys and aliens. The Pope, you say? JPII or Pope Palpatine? Because if the latter, that might be worth hunting down (and adding force lightning to).

@goldilocks- please describe or post a pic of the sock. I’m trying to imagine a really awesome sock, and… I can’t. :)

A smashed, game used Gatorade cup signed by Eric Show.

Three different DVD copies of “The Labyrinth.” Why? Because each one had a different cover art of David (hot hotty mc.hot hot!) Bowie on it!

Collections of: antique baby cups (none from family), miniature chairs, cast iron ladles and the letter ‘N’. An antique drafting compass thingy. A piece of my baby blanket. Two cats ;)

@auguestl(I)an:
Please tell me the cats are alive, are stuff in such a fashion that they could be referred to as “Totally Metal,” and\or “Metal.”

I also have every single Lego I ever had bought and\or given to me. That is pretty strange, considering I am 24 going on 25.

augustlan's avatar

Completely alive, and very un-metal-like…rather soft and warm!

@augustl(I)an:
darn, I was hoping for metal-head kittehs, with witle gootars, and hair.

@likeradar:
This sock is going to be very difficult to describe, but I’ll try! It’s about knee length, made of a really thin almost stretchy material, and has a bunch of random patterns on it! You can’t really tell how awesome it is from that discription but really it’s amazing! If I can find a picture I’ll post it!

I have a plastic penguin tea timer that pulls the bag from the cup when it rings.
