  • interesting objects in your possession

    I have a kangaroo caddy. they made them in 1956. I've held onto it for 40 years. it's not worth much. I saw it in the movie pulp fiction. I see a lot of them on ebay, it was probably a popular item back in the day.



    I have 3 ceramic liquor bottles from the 70's.

    For some reason, I have a stack of letters/papers autographed by mid-level politicians. I might have an Adlai Stevenson signed letter, but most are from the 60s-70s.

      I have a Pittsburgh Steelers cookbook, printed some time in the 70s, signed by (and given to me by) Jack Ham, who is an uncle of a good friend.

        Very cool!

        I have a '80's Miller Lite Liquor Store sign with the Taste's Great and Less Filling Softball teams...John Madden, Bubba Smith, Billy Martin, Boog Powell. Tried to sell it on Ebay years ago...no bids. It even has the cards for the promotional give away on it.

        i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

          It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

            Enjoy ! My avatar at one time was a Totino's Pizza Box and even started a thread about it on the old site. That was my go to "Pizza" in high school and college. I haven't had one in about 5 years.

              I have a 1984 Detroit Tigers yearbook. Was flipping through it recently for the fist time in many years ... kinda cool. That was the first year I bought the Rotisserie League Handbook as well - it's sitting on the shelf right beside it.
              It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                I have autographed copies of the Baseball Abstract, from 1985, 1986 and 1987 plus a not autographed 1988. I saw a marked down 1984 in the University bookstore, but didn't get it because it was out of date. Doh!

                  I have a towel that Gene Simmons threw out into the crowd after wiping his face.... For 10 years you could sort of see his face on it.... now it just looks like a dirty towel.

                  I also have the notebook of hand written lyrics from Cinderella's "Long Cold Winter" CD. Tom Kieffer personally gave them to me, so I know they are legit.

                      I have a 'big toe' nail that just fell off after 6 months; I played softball this summer for 1st time in 20 years and the toe took a beating. A new one grew back underneath it, as I see now that the original fell off. I think my great-grandfather on my dad's side was a lizard.

                        Cool! The notebook. The towel not so much. I don't think i would want anyone's sweaty towel.
