Because you never know when you might need a fake mustache, bowling pin lighter or bottle of 10-year-old mustard.

Weird stuff found in my office


I'm not a hoarder, but it's true, I do have a problem throwing stuff out.

It's not exactly a problem (yet), but recently, I found myself rifling through my office trying to find a document, and I stumbled upon the following, in order of quantity:

  • 32 Brewers bobblehead dolls
  • Six baseballs
  • Four bottles of liquor (that I didn't buy; they just showed up)
  • Three stuffed monkeys
  • Two fake mustaches
  • Two Ryan Braun yarmulkes
  • Two ShamWows
  • One game-used Sean Berry wristband
  • One unused set of 2007 Brewers World Series tickets
  • One wig
  • One straw hat
  • One bottle of Clubman Aftershave
  • One autographed Keith Jackson helmet
  • One bike lock (no key)
  • One "Bay View Bums" bowling shirt
  • One child's baseball glove
  • One bacon-flavored tube of lip balm
  • One bowling pin lighter
  • One County Stadium brick
  • One hand-drawn Lisa Simpson sketch by a former Simpsons' animator
  • One ceramic monkey piggy bank
  • One original Macintosh 512K computer
  • One unopened mustard jar from 2001
  • One set of flannel sheets for a full-sized bed
  • One walkie talkie
  • One unopened box of Barilla Rotini
  • One portable breathalyzer
  • One stuffed dolphin

There's more, but I'm starting to freak myself out. Maybe I am a little bit of a hoarder.

What weird leftover are in your office? While you take stock, I think it's time to start throwing some of this stuff out ...

speaking of weird, i had a strange dream last night that i was hanging out with you and eddie murphy. it might have been charlie murphy. you were doing some kind of in depth interview with him and later we were walking east on north ave when you were singled out by what appeared to be a very attractive young blond prostitute. maybe she was just a fan, but i remember looking at eddie and he was all like wtf? i'm eddie or charlie effing murphy.

I have a couple of boxes of stuff from middle school and high school that are filled with old pictures of friends, love letters, drawings, etc. I carry them around from move to move, but this year I decided I'd had it. So a bunch of friends are going to get together and have a bonfire and torch what we don't need or want. Maybe not such a good idea for Bobbleheads, though...
