Mr. DS

An odd painting maybe?  A weird statue?  Action figures and other toys?  A really strange antique item?

I love odd stuff and collect a bunch of it.  Amongst the oddest stuff I have on my shelf...

Taxidermy/Natural Items - Cobra, Piranha, Sting Ray, Gator Head, Starfish, Egg Cases From Whelks. My mother actually made us two mirrors made out of seashells and other ocean items. 

Action Figures - mostly horror/sci fi related.  I have the original talking Beetlejuice doll.

Statues - mostly horror or death related.  I have one of the grim reaper raising the dead.  My favorite is of a shapely girl looking in the mirror.  Her reflection in the mirror reveals her face is a skull.  

There's much more but I figure I'd let you folks take over.

Well...

I have a huge Bruce Lee wall scroll, Godzilla and other Toho statues. :thumbup:

A Wii. *trust me that's odd* :thumbdown:

Also, my Girlfriend is into Feng Shui so I can't move stuff around or put too much stuff up.

What I want, a life size alien (1979) prop in my living room. now I know she wont go for that though lol.

I'd really like a Ferrari Enzo in my living room, but the wife keeps vetoing the idea  :thumbdown:

I've got some old models I built in my entertainment center - down in the basement where company won't see it.  There's a German Tiger tank, a Soviet BMP, a Jupiter 2 from the Lost in Space TV show, and some little spaceship that was in a couple episodes of Star Trek Voyager.

Oh I have a few things... 

A unicorn lawn ornament statue that I keep in the house.
A life size singing dancing black santa that I used to keep in the living room, but my husband moved it to the attic.. same with my Freddy standee.
Ol' Smiley! He's a smiling wooden deer head that we got on our honeymoon.  We dressed him for Christmas with bows and a santa beard and hat and never undressed him.
My husband likes swords and stuff so we have a couple of those on the walls in the "blood room".
I used to collect gargoyles, but they all got put away.
Posters - A framed poster of Mr T and Santa Claus and Party-Time Guy - Some weird party poster I found of a guy in a blue chubby cheeked monster mask wearing a hat that says "Let's Party" and blowing a party blower thing.

Nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing one could consider "odd" is this little stool-thingie my parents bought in Spain back in the 1970s. Its not very comfortable to sit on so I sometimes use it as a "coffee table". Its made of dark red and very solid wood and has interesting rose carvings.

My brother got me a Jewish teddy bear last Xmas.  It's got a yarmulke on its head and Star of Davids on its belly and feet, and it sits on my fireplace mantle.  I named it "Moisha Goldstein".  :teddyr:

Ronny, I'd make you one...but I am pretty sure it would not travel too well.  :bluesad:  Besides: I only have one tricycle.

Sounds like you have your very own "Ackermansion" thing going on there!  :cheers:

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

the pull chain to my living room ceiling fan is adorned with wings from doves

my hoodie is hung on a piece that is made from a bullet clip used in WWII

the skull of a goat hangs in my bathroom (my dad hates this as he is uber-christian)

i have a box on my nightstand full of broken glass i've been collecting for the past four years

a flour sack mask that hangs on the bedroom closet door (within easy reach lol)

a jewelry box that contains locks of black hair

"I am the light and the truth" -a. levay (inscribed in the concrete as you step over the threshold going into the bathroom.

my fridge is covered in a collage of WWII photos, speeches and articles (i'm a big war buff)

a half of a dollar bill on the bookshelf. i split the other half with my brother on the Nogales border

an antique coke-dish in the bathroom, i use it as a soap holder


a three hole button, this comes from appalacian superstition, hence where i was raised.

a five foot promotional poster for the pinhead twins in the hallway

my favorite thing though is a spoon that hangs from my kitchen ceiling. it done one of my best friends in. it was the last one he used and i like keeping a piece of him nearby
