I wouldn't quite say that. Maybe some additional impetus will help:
Not quite finished, but getting there (pardon the awful pix; also, couldn't get everything in one shot):
The desk I've had for years and it serves its purpose. As for hardware, there's too much to list, so I'll leave it at that. As for some of the items in the display, here's how I describe them:
My collection of balls: A pair of brass balls; Balls of steel; I've even got balls that come in different colors. Red balls, blue balls, and radioactive green. --for the discerning collector of fine things.
An authentic Viking key from ~ 1000 A.D. Because you never know when you might have to unlock a Viking.
A Viking axe. Because you’ll need to give a Viking something to do if and when you unlock him.
Meat hooks for when the Candyman visits; and a few more dental tools just in case friends stop by someday.
Pulled teeth. Because sometimes you have to pull teeth to get what you want.
The next best thing to pigs with wings.
Vintage coffin nails and graveyard dirt in vintage fluorescent radioactive jar, right next to a lump of uranium ore. They all somehow seemed to fit.
Everyone should have at least one BIG bug. Here we have a collection, and they’re all named Hank (one’s confused about its gender).
Glass. Lots and lots of glass. Because it’s made from sand and you can pound it.
A midget washboard. For the midget guest room.
Ode to the CCP’s Beer’s Virus Pandemic of 2020—TBD: The Reliable TP (toilet paper) holder and a pencil. Because anything associated with wiping your butt should be reliable; and TP is something you can count on (that’s what the small pencil is for); Community wiping sticks with obvious grip ends. They were good enough for the Samurai, so they're good enough for me; Spare antique, perforated TP, some of the first. So you don’t have to compete with anyone for it anytime, anyplace; Electric corn cob wiping device. Powered by the grid; The three seashells. In case the power goes out and you’re fresh out of fresh wiping sticks; One each ex-live bat. Because, well, you know.
A pack of condoms. Because s***bags have learned to come in packs.
A vintage, civil war era lead smelter. Because I did that when I was younger too (I took the lead). Can also be used in custom fitting dentures.
A large, vintage, wooden meat tenderizer. For those who like to pound their meat before they cook it and eat it.
That's it for now, more to come. Time to get my KPE 3090 working.
