Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter I, on the other hand, am going to have to think about this one for awhile to narrow it down.

Many years ago, when I was working and had also returned to college fulltime to get teaching certification, I joked to one of my very clever friends that all I wanted for Christmas was a lifetime supply of No Doz. So for Christmas he made me a giant No Doz tablet. . . about a foot across and perfectly detailed, right down to the imprinted No Doz logo and the score line that allows you to break a tablet in half. And then there's Lyle, the pushpin eraser lion. . . .

Bottom line it's the avromark in me.

After I went back and identified the bones for him (it took two trips and an afternoon in the Denver Museum of Natural History biology collection) he found a website that manufactures replica bones for research and got me a pine martin skull. I have it on my bookshelf.

Originally Posted By alexbook Nothing strange here. I mean, unless you think it's strange for a grown man to have a teddy bear named Eustace and a plush hippo named Henry (aka Mr. the Hippopotamus). Then there's my collection of over 100 CD's of Christmas music, which is only strange because my family doesn't celebrate Christmas (being agnostic Jews).
Originally Posted By peeaanuut I have a Luger that was meant for a German Nazi Colenol. I collect hand guns and this was given to me as a gift. The story behind it is that this shipment of arms was on its way into germany when the end of the war came. The train was unloaded and packed away in a warehouse and forgotten. In 1976 the warehouse was cleaned out as part of a land clearing going on in Europe to make way for new homes. Most of the weapons, including rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, hand grenades, smoke grenades and other assorted arms were destroyed. 25 cases of arms went missing and one of the cases included the Lugers. It is not a piece I show most people as they dont understand why I have it. They instantly think I am some sort of Nazi lover because it has a swastika stamped on it, which of course I am not.
