As a collector of random (usually useless) things, I often find myself in a position where I have something cool and want to show it to someone but have no one to show it to. Either people are tired of me sticking the randomest of things in their faces and saying "Look at this random thing! Isn't it so cool?" or I can tell they wouldn't appreciate it. So, I came up with a solution! The internet! Here I can share as many random stupid things as I want, and maybe someone will find them somewhat interesting. Please feel free to add as many pictures as you want, I want to see cool stuff!

Also, if you actually read this, you're a very cool person :)

    There's a weird rectangular smudge on the title, I think it says GROWN-ÁSS PERSON. Apparently the kind the BP authors and censors aren't.

    From a page of a similar item: "This is beautiful Burnished and Beaded Gourd is from the Masai Pastoral People of Kenya. This gourd is used to collect milk and blood. Masai blood/milk jugs are made from calabashes or gourds which are picked from vines. The Maasai clean the insides of the gourds as well as decorate them with leather and beads. Milk, blood, water, honey and cornmeal are stored inside the gourds. Traditionally, the Masai rely on meat, milk and blood from cattle for protein and caloric needs. The Masai drank milk from the cow or goat every day and when they didn't have enough milk, they mixed cow's blood with the milk. People now drink blood only on special occasions including at a person’s circumcision or after a woman has given birth. The sick are also given blood. The Masai believe blood is very rich in protein and is good for the immune system." https://www.worldofbacara.com/listing/543184841/african-gourd-masai-african-milkblood

    According to the furry people who live in this house, the soft can-opener is barely adequate.

    Is the nut fake - a round plastic ball? I just realized this looks a lot like a toy my grandkids had. There was not a squirrel or as cute as I recall but the concept was similar. Squeeze toy - out pops a colored ping pong ball that was in the mouth.

    Thanks. I think we all have things that resonate with us personally due to memories we have that might differ from the next person. The typewriter is a childhood memory but also a sort of reminder to me about how far we have come with technology. As a young boy I can remember thinking it was so cool that you could move that lever on the right and change the print from black to red. It is just due to a two color cloth ribbon but when I was young that seemed like an amazing feature. Now it is kind of laughable - cuz computers / color laser printers etc. The Dinky Toys belonged to my dead uncle when he was a boy. The coins are mostly from my own travels. The nick knack drawer has magic tricks, crackerjack prizes and other trinkets from when I was little. And so on -- sort of cool memories for me but "YMMV" for the next person. I have other items in my house I could post but also I enjoy seeing the odd / interesting / precious things other people post.

    This makes me smile. Is this a decorative plate / picture or is it a flue hole cover? It appears to be mounted on the wall and often with plates the image is on the "inside" or top of the plate rather than the bottom. For those unfamiliar since I'm referring to an item that has become less common. Old houses very commonly had a wood stove in the kitchen and a wood or oil heater stove. Both had about a 6" vent into the wall for the smoke / exhaust. As things got more modern and those stoves got replaced by electric a common item (at the time) was a plate (usually metal) that had a bracket and pressure snapped into the hole to cover the hole and stop cold air. Some were plain but many were decorated so they sort of looked like art on the wall instead of just a metal plug. You can google "flue hole cover" to see many example images.

    It's a glass/ceramic plate. No markings or anything on the back. It's likely from a ceramics class of some sort? I did look up flue hole covers. It does look a bit like a flue hole cover.

    Hey - ASIAN PANDAS - or anyone who knows Asian writing --- If you would be so kind please look at the symbols in the attached link and see if you can tell me what language they come from. It is from the bottom of the hunter carving and I assume it is the artist's mark. I don't expect it to say much but knowing what language it is gives me a clue. Apologies if the photo is upside down.
