A flag stolen from the Bella center (then Copenhagens exhibition centre) after a rather wet evening on town back about 1970. We decided in our drunkenness, that they were flagging for the devil as it was 3 am when we hauled it down, singing the Danish flag song. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
2 reel to reel tapes recorded about 1965 by the band we had. Must be the worst attempt of rock music I ever heard. Thank heavens we never performed in public.

I have a thermometer that is from Piedmont Paper Co and has a 6 digit phone number.

The ticket where my daddy went to see Joe Foreman fight in the 60's.

A Joy of Sex book from the 50's. Cannot tell you how thrilled I was to find that in moms book collection-lolol.

My great grandmothers black leather lace up ankle boots.

The kids teeth and the note he wrote the toothfairy when he lost one of his teeth. We found a small white pebble to put with the note so there was something at least.

Kids first haircut curls.

Cobwebs that appear out of nowhere.

I'm sorry...WHY DO YOU PEOPLE ALL HAVE BELLY BUTTONS!??


I was wondering the same thing lol.

I have a child too but the most I ever saved from her is all her school stuff and vaccination records and art work. Oh and the band from around her leg when she was born. But no body parts. Those are definitely weird!

Just remembered a couple more things:

a flag from a competing navy base football team when husband was in the navy. Him and his friends stole it late one night after winning a game. I have no idea why we ended up with it.

And does my homemade 11th Doctor Who doll that Master bought me for my birthday count?

Actually it sits on a bookshelf full of home made whiskey. I offer drinks of it to guests who have overstayed their welcome.

another one I just remembered.

one of those tiny micro-cassettes from an answering machine with the message from my deceased husband. I haven't listened to it in over 20 years though since I don't have a micro-cassette player. One of these days I may have to find one at a Goodwill or something for really cheap or have it transferred to a dvd or usb drive. I think it would be neat to give to my daughter as a wedding gift since she was just a baby when he passed away and has no idea what his voice sounded like.

I think that would be a really cool gift for your daughter!

One time my sister sat down with my grandmother and asked her all kinds of questions about my family's history and she taped it all and labeled it "The Grandma Tapes". Of course this was made long before most home movies had sound.....

Just tons of yarn and books. I collect certain authors (Mom and I were looking at Patterson's website for and books she might have missed reading).

Guns...I know that I should not be around them but I am mentally stable (meaning I don't want to hurt or kill anyone, just a few wild hogs).

Dad's ashes...had some tossed on the river where he died and in the Gulf to honor him being former Navy. The rest will be mixed with my mother's when she dies and have them buried in Arkansas. Mom ain't giving up the ghost yet.

Books are not weird. Those e readers are weird and a sacrilege. How much damage can you do to someone if you throw an e reader at them? Now compare that to chunking a leather bound volume of War and Peace at someone's head.

Yes, but cousin Marcette was alcoholic and wouldn't turn down any drink.

Most of my strangest items (if you don't count my gaming stuff) are some rather odd books I have:

"The Seducer's Cookbook" - It's a cookbook for bachelors entertaining women at home. It has a list of the various types of women and a meal plan for each of them (including post-coital snacks.) It even has a warning about cooking while in the nude. What makes this book odd is that it was written in the early 1960's, by a woman.

I also have a Japanese cookbook written in the 1950's. What makes this one odd is that it was written for Japanese wives moving to the States with their husbands; it shows how to make things like glazed hams and pot roasts using traditional Japanese cooking tools.

I have a book on collecting vintage shoes.

I have 1st edition Mark Twain (not weird but seriously cool and rare.)

A 1940's U.S. Army manual on the care and usage of helmets ("It's Your Head: Keep It!")

Alright, I know that grunts are dumb, it is part of the job description, but seriously? It was a steel pot, other than it getting punctured by a bullet, what could you do to it that would make it useless?

This isn't too crazy, but here's a rescued table I've dubbed "Spagetti Legs". We saved it from a closing nightclub.

It won't fit through a standard door, had to take off the door frame to cram it into our old house.
