What's the oddest thing you own?

[Longgrain]

Too numerous too list for me...

But I guess I could start with my collection of Bugaloos memrobillia...

[alittlelark]

1. OMG _ my absolute favorite show in that era.......

.... I'm quite serious. Uh, are you looking to sell?

[Longgrain]

4. NO!!! NEVER!!!

It took me years to acquire my collection...

However here's a cool link...if you haven't seen this already, to a Bugaloos fan site...

http://www.bugaloos.com/

(P.S. I still have a HUGE crush on Caroline Ellis...;-) )

[alittlelark]

25. Been there... still lookin' for tangibles.

[Longgrain]

28. Keep checking Ebay

or your local Flea markets....

Unfortunately it ain't cheep...:(

[alittlelark]

29. That's OK.... I just want to find it.

I am not an e-bay regular, but I do look when the emotion hits.

[Longgrain]

32. Yeah...I think I understand

my lunch box cost me $90 and that was about seven years ago when E-bay wasn't as nearly as ferocious as it is today...

I had to buy the thermos in a separate auction too...

[Dookus]

2. My weird transsexual mermaid....

[ET Awful]

9. LOL Dookus, that may be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen

BUAHAHAHAHA. That is just freakin' weird!

[AlienGirl]

3. Fossilized giant-turtle poop.

[Dookus]

6. hrmm....

is it giant poop from a regular turtle, or regular poop from a giant turtle?

[AlienGirl]

10. Regular poop, giant turtle!

[StaggerLee]

5. a box of Flutie Flakes

Not that odd I guess but the best I can do for now.

[fleabert]

33. I have a box of those! and some Slam Duncans!

change that to HAD a box of Flutie Flakes, somebody ate them, apparently. I can't find them. shit. I will guard the Slam Duncans with my life, no pun intended.

[StaggerLee]

38. lol

good one!

The Fluties are actually my brother's. I am just holding them for him.

[fishwax]

42. I used to have a box of McCaffrey O's

a similar product featuring Ed McCaffrey of the Broncos. He also had "Mile High Mustard." My wife convinced me to get rid of the box with the last move, though.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Jeez--I dunno. The mix is probly odder than any single thing.

A perfect-running 1954 Case farm tractor that I use in the field, 2 table saws, 2 band saws & a planer, six different pieces of EEG biofeedback equipment (a Brainmaster, 2 Lexicors, 3 Discovery Engineering models), probly 2000 books, mostly in English, German & Danish, 2 revolvers, a double barrel 20 ga. shotgun & a 12 ga. pump, a .30-06 deer rifle, 3 functioning laptop computers of various vintages, 3 desktops ditto, all with assortet printers, scanners, etc., a lot of fishing equipment, a canoe & small aluminum boat, a wood stove in my woodworking shop, the usual chainsaws, etc., a Wechsler adult intelligence test (latest ed.)...I dunno--is that a weird collection?

[Longgrain]

8. Want more from Longgrain's collection....

Cause we need more weird :crazy: stuff...

How about a "Twist all Night" movie poster...and a lava lamp!

[Taverner]

11. My father's 1951 Tax return

Strangely, taxes were much more simpler back then

[Cush]

12. what are the Bugaloos?

[Longgrain]

13. An early 70s childrens T.V. show

Produced by the magicial dyad of Sid and Marty Krofft...

[MrSlayer]

14. I have a life sized plastic raven sitting on my TV.

For absolutely no reason.

[Longgrain]

15. Here's some other odd things I own...

An old box of FLASHCUBES!!!



From the Longgrain collection...

[HeyManThatsCool]

18. Flash Cubes! YES!!!

Total blast from the past. I immediately thought of my grandmother & smiled. Thanks

[Longgrain]

41. I found these at a flea market years ago...

I'm surprised the woman wanted to sell them...

[Revillusion1]

16. I have a big realistic looking stuffed black crow...

I love the band The Black Crowes so naturally, when I saw it, I had to have it. He sits on my couch and scares the crap out of my 2 year old nephew...:shrug: Is that wierd???

[UncleSepp]

17. An old letter from Hans Goebbels

Apparently written to sister Maria Goebbels, in which he complains about their mother visiting and pouring her heart out, his brother Konrad's business misadventures, lots of lines about someone selling pants to the Berlin S.A. even though they're not from Berlin. Then finally at the end, oh yeah, other brother Joseph's probably going to be ragged once the election is over but Magda sent us a nice picture and we'll get it in a frame one of these days. Letter is from '32.

[HeyManThatsCool]

19. He has serial killer writing n/t

[UncleSepp]

20. He was a putz from what I understand

but his brother had worse handwriting... maybe there's something to that after all.

[AlienGirl]

22. "written by seismograph"

[AlienGirl]

21. Naw...it's just an old-style script

Serial killers often write in block letters with more pressure than that.

Tucker

[AlienGirl]

24. Pants! That's just so random

[Little Wing]

23. A brunette Barbie doll.

No really. They made a few, stopped, then started again a few years ago.

[last_texas_dem]

26. Weird, cheap, old souvenir ashtray

Found this at an antique store several years ago and couldn't resist; it's a small black metal ashtray with a map of the state of Maine on it. Standing next to it is a ten inch tall comically scary-looking black bear, made out of some sort of hard material but covered in felt. Probably the oddest thing I own, although the album Pat Boone Reads from the Holy Bible may have to come in at a close second...

[alittlelark]

27. I would have done just about ANYTHING for a

Bugaloos lunchbox back when I was in 5th or 6th grade.


Now I may PAY just about anything for one, because I never got that which I needed in my youth. But then my mother was convinced I was possessed by demons (did you know butterflies are considered evil figures?)... but that's the stuff of many archived threads....

[Longgrain]

30. Weird....

Have you ever seen a close up of my Avatar Image?

[nytemare]

31. A piece of rock from Hitler's garage in Obersalzberg

It was all that was left of the "Berghof"

It was my statement against fascism, I have his 1000 year reich on my little corner display stand.

Someday, I will have a piece of the crawford ranch....LOL.

[B Calm]

34. 1837 1/2 dime

[Cuban_Liberal]

35. About 50 geodes.

:)

[JVS]

36. 3

[bearfan454]

37. I own a rattlesnake enclosed in epoxy for a desktop

I got it at the rattlesnake round up they have every year over here in Taylor Tx.

[Kellanved]

39. a GDR flag

"Winkelement" ("winking Material"). I found it in a pipe in the basement when I moved in.

[Carson]

40. An Epilady. It should've been an Inquisition torture instrument.

I've had it since the late 80's, used it once and, for some reason, have failed to get rid of it.

Other oddities: A fossilized head of a turtle, dug out of an eroded stream bank.

Also, a fossilized sea anemone as big as a Red-Dot softball, which I dug out from a construction area.

[cestpaspossible]

43. Al Capone's finger

[Longgrain]

44. I suppose I could also add...

My uber-cool vintage record player...
