A few stuffed animals, a squirrel on the living room wall and a baby fox and a corncrake in the other living room.
And I have a shop mannequin in my bedroom.

I own a chinchilla winch is kinda an unusual pet. It's an old pic but she looks the same

I have a security guard badge. Someone I used to work with years ago was a security guard years before & I helped him out with some stuff & he gave me his badge. It's not illegal to have it but it is highly illegal to impersonate one which I won't do. One of my cousins is a cop & that's what he said. I didn't take pix of mine but I found pix online of that kind of badge & of the badge holder I bought online for it. I just think it's kewl to have

Image Image


I have a set of 3 military surplus practice grenades because their kewl to have. Here's pic I got online

Image

& I wonder why my parents don't trust me

I also have a cane because I have low-vision & after I graduated high-school I went to a training center for people with vision issues to learn life-skills & stuff. They made me use a cane there & I haven't used it sense; it's collecting dust in my closet

Too many weird things to list...

I have a 1919 model Simplex 35mm projector head that still works. The bottom floor of the building I live in is the Million Dollar Theatre (visible in Blade Runner as it is across the street from the Bradbury Bldg.) and this projector head is the type that would have likely been installed in the projection booth.

A wind up 78rpm record player. This is a nicely restored console model with record storage compartments.

A ram's skull. It kind of bother's me to keep the skull of an animal that might have preferred to keep it himself, but it is a good photographic subject.

A cardboard cow's head made for a film I made in college.

Gee, where do I begin?
There's the Jamaican fertility statue with the HUGE penis in the living room, the plethora of Oldsmobile-related collectibles ( not to mention the real one in the garage), the middle-finger cupid statuette, the black christmas tree ( it's a goth thing), a cat that likes to be spanked ( no, really!), a bird that tries to eat the cats, a small collection of weird energy drinks, Lake Eerie rock collection, weird assortment of stuffed plushie animals ( including a Mississippi shovelnose fish and a plushie muscle fiber with a smiley face), an old beer can from the 1970's, action figures like "the Crazy Cat Lady", misfit dolls, a can of black-eyed peas that I've kept unopened for 8 years because I like the picture on the label, and too many other things to name.

1 stuffed ringnecked pheasent (it's about 70 years old.)
1 domestic cat skull
1 wolf skull
1 coyote skull
1 squirrel skin that I tanned myself
1 coyote skin that I tanned myself
1 nearly intact bird skeleton, including the mud-daub nest it was found in
2-3 raccoon skulls
1 Whitetail buck skull with large antlers
1 Darth Vader action figure
6-7 Transformers action figures (1 is from the movies and the rest are from the MP line. They are all Decepticons.)
1 Duke Nukem action figure ( A PigCop, it is the only figure that I find interesting.)
And that's all I can think of. :)

I have a painting of 12 penises being masturbated by a humongous hand :shrug: But you can't tell that's what it is. It kind of looks like a mountain.
