I don't think that owning a tin of tomato soup is strange...

I'm not as intrigued by that figurine-thingy as I am that technicolor can of soup sitting next to it...

I like it. Where do you keep this gem?

I used to have cool stuff like this, but my wife did't appreciate that level of creativity.

I had this evil looking candle holder. It was the size and shape of a human head. There were holes around the top to hold taper candles in the shape of a crown. On the front of this beauty was carved a face and the eyes were large glass balls. When you lit the candle inside, they would flicker with an evil glint.

It was the first thing sold at our very first "married" garage sale.

I wonder where it is now. If you have it, could you please contact me? I miss it.

I like it too. I have two incense holders (to burn coned shape incense only) They are these creepy yet funny looking trees. The smoke is released through the trees eyes and mouth which pose as old holes in a tree. I also have an exit sign as decoration for my old bedroom at my parents place. It sits on an old wooden end table stolen from the neighbors garbage. (The exit sign was stolen too. But it was brand new. Never used.)

Additionally, I have an old hammer placed in between this wooden... (I have no idea what the hell it is) All you have to know is that it is wood and has nails sticking out of it. I also collect wood. Wooden sticks and make glamorous displays from them. One piece of stick I brought home permeated my entire room of dog urine. It was hard, but I tossed it.

light it! light it! light it!

ahem. oh, and, um, the dog-urine stick? you do know that it was a sacred canine totem, and that by moving it you threw the entire species into chaos, right?

PDD said...

right.

It's the thing Harvey always uses and talks about in her letters to Eck. What's the acronymn for that sucker?

PDD: The prop you are talking about in "Harvey & Eck" is the GSJV (G Spot Jelly Vibe--not shown in the photo)

Cappy: I will crank up the Starland Vocal Band later on tonight.

Stupid? That's creative and original and someone put great care into making it!

(Yeah, it's stupid. I'm just trying to put a good spin on it.)
