What is the weirdist/strangest thing you own?

[sdarwkcabemanmy]

I have a statue of a cat..it's about 2 feet high and made of what appears to be metal. The face is very triangular and there's not a proper face to this thing..just two big almond-shaped orange bits that I suppose are supposed to be eyes. It's very weird, but I like it.

I also have a canvas map of England in the middle ages..a friend of mine thought it looked pirate-y and sent it to me.

On our couch are two pillows made from teeshirts--one is red with a winged guitar with the words "Rock Angel". The other is white/green with a picture of Bob Ross painting his happy trees that says "Happy Trees". It used to be a shirt but DH accidentally washed it with one of his shirts and got ink on the back. I loved the shirt and couldn't bear to get rid of it, so I cut the back off and turned it into a pillow.

In my house there is an owl pellet. I don't own it, it belongs to one of my sons and is banished to his room.

An ornate metal chastity belt. My living room is decorated in a medievalish theme, and I have the belt hanging on one wall. I saw it in an antique store years ago and had to have it, although I was just out of college and couldn't really afford it. It's quite decorative with birds and flowers making up the design.

Breaks the ice at parties.

I have a branch with all the bark chewed off it and perfect little teeth marks all over it, like it had been whittled--which it had, by a beaver's teeth. Our guide on a kayaking trip fished it out of the river and handed it to me. It's SO cool.

I also have a brass aquamanile I found at an estate sale. This was in the mid 90s when the internet was really young , and we couldn't figure out what the heck it was. DH and I went to the library and he actually found a photo of a similar item in a book on antiquities! It looks very similar to this:

I've collected a lot of odd stuff over the years, but my favorite would be my 'I dream of Jeannie' bottle that I found in some little antique shop south of here. I don't even know what kind of promotion it may have been for, and it doesn't have the cork around the stopper to fit correctly, but as a child of the '60s and the tv shows then I just had to have it.

Of course if anyone has a 14 year old son around the house you know weird stuff is quite normal! lol

After reading these, I'm not sure how weird this is anymore, but I'll post it anyway...

In college, my friends and I had this huge joke about squirrels.

So for Christmas one year they found these wooden place card holders that are squirrels and mailed them to me. I keep wanting to have a dinner party just so I can use them and have people walk in with their name in a squirrel.

My youngest son, age 28.

I also have two hairless Chinese crested dogs.

What's the difference?

 

[Pigeon]

I've got an old printing block (not so much a block, it's curved) used for block printing a Chinese book about history onto a scroll. It's pre-movable type. If the Antiques Roadshow ever comes to town, that's what I'm bringing.

I've also got skulls of various road kill. Dh is a science teacher and loves this kind of stuff.

I have a purse made out of a Bull's "Manly coinpurse". My dad got it for me, he is king of weird souvenirs.

My dad has tons of weird historial stuff. My favorites are the Civil war cannonball and sword, and the 1936 olympic memorabilia with the olympic seal on one side and the Nazi swastika on the other side. We also have some KGB stuff from russia. Weird, but really cool.

I own a pair of the Deadliest version of Lawn Darts.

Also an unopened box of those little balls that you make a picture out of and then wet them to slidify.

And a Sarge Jeep with the lead paint.

I have a sealed jar with ash from the Mt. St. Helens erruption.

My dad's buddy was a helicoptor pilot and he gathered it from the air when it happened. He sent them to all of his friends' kids for education so we could see how fine the ash is. I thought it was cool.

How cool is that!

I don't think we have anything too weird, but my dad has a cow's skull, a "jackalope's" skull, and a hornets' nest.

DH has a piece of a roller coaster. I have DH.

 

[stsomewhere]

A medieval mace (iron ball with spikes!)

We have one , too.

Oh Dh has a jar of ash from Mt. St. Helens too. Very cool! Although it isn't in anything fancy just a baby food jar.

I have a ring of my DF who is how deceased. it is a ring made from a whale's tooth he bought in Portugal.

I have a piece of the Bloody tower, I am weird.
After our drive in closed and was abandoned for years until Walmart came, my friends and I went into the building where they had indoor movies and I have a condiment set with glass bowls and the wire to hold napkins.

Not really weird, but I have my DGF's merchant marine paper. and there are newspapers from WW2 in his old military trunk.

In our family it was a running gag what would Uncle Frank get you for your wedding gift. My first sister got an antler lamp, the next one a coat rack with hoves as the hook, 5 hoves my 3rd sister got nada, curse skipped her. Well by the time I married 26 years after my oldest sister (she married young I old) my uncle had passed. But never fear his daughter knew that it was the running gag in our family I opened the gift with great fear to find a back scratcher that is made from a reptile foot. I can't be sure what it's from, it's too small to be an alligator or crocidile, but it looks like that.

All these years later I have to admit it is a treasured gift with family love attached to it.

My DH thinks I'm crazy
