Not a lot in my house I’m afraid… I am pretty boring…lets see…

I’ve an inherited clock that belonged to Squire Boone, Daniels brother… or so the family story goes.

An old anvil that came with my 5th removed grandfather by ship in 1750 from Germany.

I’ve my fathers IMPERIVM NEPTVNI REGIS From when his Carrier crossed the equator in WWII.

A Spanish land grant issued to my 4th removed grandfather in Missouri.

Weird items around the house eh?

Oh,I got a few

*A collection of comics.not exactly weird until I extrapolate a bit,most of them are zap,got a few mad's from the early 60's, so other crumb and subversive pamphlets here and there and a signed copy of the illustrated man(in comic form),signed by Bradbury himself..also got a few signed gris grimmlys and a book signed by eric burton....but who cares..

*I aslo worked at a used bookstore for years.So I have a large collection of Old Odd bOOks.Including things like a cactus cook book,a surgery guide from the early 30's,a collection of random guides to such things as worldwar two era hand to hand combat techniques,a coctail recipe book from the 20s(yes,prohabition 20s),several occult books ranging from the 20's till the 90's(and a "spell"book from the 70's that has a love spell recipe which includes cocaine,and a flying spell that involves child sacrifice..it was actually published,or at least printed and bound very nicely in someones basement/methlab.),various survival guides(including one that instructs you what to do if you come in contact with alien beings....again,some one actually published this),and A giant,and I mean Giant(it's the size of a coffee table)photo book of the history of prostitution.

*I have a small bed of nails and fire eating equipment,and a ladder of swords
still haven't learned how to swallow fire or walk up the ladder,but hey,it was in the family

*various animal skulls,clean of course,including two separate mountain lion skulls,one a cub,the other an adult,but both have matching gunshot holes on the same part of the skull,found them at two separate locations

*I have a mummified possum Christmas wreath. I found the possum in a car,it died lying down,so it was the perfect shape,I just added some green and red spray paint and some glitter.

*I have a collection of various swap meet finds including an Indonesian demon mask,several other interesting Halloween masks(a two headed one,a grease covered clown one,luchador,a fish head one.ect), a box of weird cigar things that taste strongly of dried green tobacco and black liquorish,a broom with a welded chain link handle,various home made folkart items like a decoy crow painted with bones and a yard monster welded out of pistons and various motor parts

*Various art curiosities not from the swapmeet,including a few robert williams prints,a gahan wilson print and an oil painting I keep in the closet,cause it depicts Hitler holding the Christ child in one hand and a small bouquet of flowers in the other with the words "christ is love" on the bottom...an insane family friend painted it beautifully with complete sincerity,but I only show it to people when I wanna get a "what the Fuck is that "laugh out of them....and I must say it's served that purpose quiet well

* Two of my own creations(that are odd nuff to mention),one is called tammy the tazer,and is a fully funtional tazer(I'm sorry,stun gun) made out of a disposable camera and a doll(pics on my fetlife profile),her eyes open and close and the open circuit is two nails coming out of her hands.
I also have an unfinished piece that I haven't done anything with in some time,it's called "Gladly, the cross eyed bear",it's a beatup sun bleached teddy bear I found in the middle of the desert affixed to a cross.I created a face for it out of rusted pieces of metal ,broken glasses and other found desert stuffs.Eventually I want to wire lights to it,give it a popes hat,and leave it on the side of the road in the middle of a public thoroughfare and rig a camera some where near to catch peoples reactions

*A small collection of franchise promotion crap,like a cardboard Indianan Jones that hangs from the ceiling

um...I think that bout covers it for weird things

or at least that's the weirdest I think I have,others might think that the broken deco lamp I use for a candle holder is odd,but meh

Ok-I'll give this a shot.

-Leonardo Da Vinci action figure
-300 cassette tapes on the wall (Why? I have no idea. I don't even own a cassette deck anymore)
-Signed first edition of The Black Dahlia
-Signed first edition of Hunt for Red October
-Five tiny antique wooden camel incense burners (And I abhor incense. It kills my sinuses)
-An elephant table. (Seriously. Its a ceramic elephant with a piece of glass on top that's about shin high. Like an end table for the vertically challenged)
-Three candles that look like the coca cola bears
-A blood spatter kit
-One Set of decade old cross country skis, still in the wrappers
-1972 PADI Dive Manual
-A Wildhorse saloon goblet
-A Katana
-One smurf doll blowing a trumpet
-Chinese Dragon Mardi Gras Mask
-A small jam/jelly/mason jar filled with an unknown liquid (Spanish fly, the nectar of the Gods, Felix Felicis, Liquid TNT-who knows) labeled Alyce & Chris, which would be awesome except I have no clue who they are.

-One mouse.

(And why, after reading each of these lists, do I feel like singing, "And a partridge in a pear tree.)

Ok so it's not my weird thing but my sister keeps her husband's cremains in her closet. I remember one day her son was in the closet looking for something for her and came across his dads cremains and freaked out. He never knew they were in the house. Lawdy! That was one helluva day!

Books aren't weird.
But I have a copy of Mrs Beaton's with recipes for Australia including kangaroo.

And a baby elephant Audubon that takes its own table.

I'm afraid to ask: how does one acquire a belly button, separate from the person it is presumably attached to?

LOL. It's not an actual belly button. It's the portion of the umbilical cord that's left on a baby to crust up and fall off.
