I have a jar of graveyard dirt on the bookshelf in the den. I use it for Hoodoo sometimes. I also have a real crystal ball, a large cast iron cauldron, a taxidermy pheasant about to take flight off a log, an old heavy rotary desk phone from the 50's, my daughters wisdom teeth, the hair from each of my kids first haircut, a dried rose from my father in laws casket, the screws that they took out of my son's arm after he broke it and had the second surgery, and last but not least a mobile made from bats.

I now have in my possession a Gen 1 My Little Pony shot glass that I bought at Spencer's Gifts earlier this evening. It's blue and has two ponies frolicking in clouds with "Ponies Forever" written on it.

I don't even drink; I just bought it cuz I love Gen 1 My Little Pony (as well as Gen 4). It's probably the most "adult" item I currently have in my room, lol.

I keep a single dandelion fluff in a craft house I made back in primary school.

I have to say a collection of cat-related articles I've been cutting out of newspapers for a few years now. Some are just pictures of cats, while other are interesting articles about cats. I even own an obituary for Socks the Cat (Bill Clinton's cat). I keep all the articles in one box under my bed.

Right now, probably some loose-leaf tea that a friend gave me in a plastic bag. It is not weed, which I keep forgetting is legal where I live now, but the resemblance is uncanny.

Oddly enough, it probably would be less weird if it actually was weed. :)

A coffee mug shaped like a toilet that has a hinged seat and actually makes flushing noises and a tape dispenser shaped like a man on a toilet. I don't know why people get me this stuff but it's funny.

Nothing weird about that. I have drawers of the stuff(and I mean four full ones :oops: )
I have a stuffed talking Dalek in my bedroom. :D

I have a wooden Chinese broadsword in the trunk of my car. I do karate and am learning how to use different weapons and the broadsword is one of them.

A baby shark preserved in a jar, a random gift from a friend. Aslo, an old-looking nagamaki that is inscribed with "Takeda Taikun", probably a fake though.

A security guard badge & a holder for it that has a knife on the back. It's not a strange item but it's strange for anyone who never been a guard to have it. I don't own alot of things

A Zentai Suit.

It's a garment that covers the entire body from head to toe.

I have two giant paper-mache carrots nailed to my wall. I think maybe that's the weirdest thing... either those or the 40 flutes.
