This post is a multi-bit screwdriver missing most of its bits. It is orange.

Passport that smells like an old musty reefer pipe because I only have one place to put passports and reefer pipes. .22 LR round. Gas jet lighter with fake jewels and a picture of a cat wearing a red hat that plays a very wonky low battery version of the theme from "Once Upon a Time in China". Red filter for a Krasnogorsk-3 16mm film camera.

I know junk.

Damn it, those are mouse turds, aren't they? Who put the duck sauce way back in here? What is that, Taco Bell hot sauce? We haven't been to Taco Bell in months. . . oh. Ewwwww. Does anyone know what this thing is? Cause it's ruined now anyway. Why can I never find a working pen or a pair of scissors? Get back in here, you kids!

Sweet Raptor Jesus (sound), it's Anna Nicole Smurf drinking a TokaCola while battlin' The StrawMan! It makes me sick to watch it!

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was the link dump.

This post is a bunch of hopeful-looking AA batteries that, when tried in something, are found to be dead -- yet are always thrown back here and never thrown away.
