Sentimental knickknacks

@the-gravedigger said
Because I have a badly corroded spade?

i have a replica of the nuclear weapon that slim pickens rode in the movie, "dr strangelove or, how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb"

i have it set up outside the tin shack and use it as a water heater

i have installed red and blue LED lights and a small tinny sounding speaker from the sixties to randomly flash and emit a beeping sound

the neighbors have questions that i will not answer

it's only a replica, not the original
got it from craigslist

i will never purge this item from my life

great thread, @divegeester

You're not fooling me t-g, with your very rusty innuendo's.

Innuendo? Sounds like an Italian suppository.

Your best thread in a while Dive.

I also have a small titanium plate with a couple of titanium screws which was used to keep my radius together while it healed from a break.

i should share that i have dozens of scars from motorcycle and automobile collisions
i tried labeling them to differentiate between two wheel disasters and four wheel incidents, but the tattoos don't stick so well in the tough tissue

Thanks; you drew 6 red thumbs for saying so 🤩

Oh dear, Suzianne.

I found your integrity at the end of one of your long, convoluted attack threads.

It was kind of shriveled up; I know you don't miss it one bit.

I have the dried thumb tip I lost in a butchering mishap about1998. It was just skin. It's in a tiny urn

I have stainless steel clavicle-hook-plate that held my bust up shoulder together after a cycling mishap.
My brother has an 18 inch steel rod that held his femur together after his motorcycle accident.
My son has some of the Illizarov frame that held his leg together after breaking it in a fall.
Last year I funded a titanium hip for my mother (she's still using it).

As a family, we're slowly accruing the pieces to make a Cyberdyne Terminator.

great thread, @divegeester

Some other items I’ve collected which aren’t necessarily knickknacks is a selection of ELO albums on coloured vinyl; they aren’t particularly valuable (at least I don’t think so), so they are knickknacks of a sort.
