MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and
chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.
3 years from now there'll be a link on AskMe with one of those photos and the Q: "What the hell is this?"
Some MeChatter will say "It's a mechanical ass chewer." 50 people will flag the answer as "noise" and it will be deleted within minutes. The OP will never find out what the sculpture his dead dad left him was.
