My Grandmother's ceramic Christmas village set. Correction, one of her ceramic Christmas village sets. I think she has at least four different sets and insisted that I inherit one, despite her not being dead yet. My mother also has at least three different sets, so eventually I am going to inherit seven or eight of these drat things. I did put my foot down and refused to take her Easter egg-shaped jello molds.

Right now its music on cassettes, because I don't own a player I would trust. Not random or new stuff, just completing discography stuff.

Before my grandmother passed (she raised me) she gave me all of her holiday decorations, chrismass, new years independence day etc... Even though she knows the only holiday I decorate for is Halloween. Got a few hess trucks and a giant bag of hot wheels that were mine as a child. My basement is filled with tubs of the stuff she gave me. But the favorite of mine that she gave me is the ninja blender thingy.

As a nerdy collector, I own a lot of stupid poo poo. The most useless thing in my collections that I paid way too much for is a "game" that gives you your fortunes in love, work, health and so on for the next year. The next year being 1989. The worst part is it's actually kind of rare so I paid $20 for a cartridge that I'll put into my system once to document it and then shove it into a box forever. Even the label is ugly, it's a lump of plastic whose only value is checking off a box on a list.

 Soviet October revolution medal is probably up there. I also have like 10-20 pounds of antler sheds and a random horse jaw bone I found while working.

Tomorrow I have a reprodution of an IBM Model F keyboard arriving that I've waited five years for. It weighs around five or six pounds. This will be by far the dumbest thing I own

The halo 3 collectors edition helmet. Haven't played a halo game after that one. I should sell it, looks I could make back what I paid for it.

Play posted:It's actually pretty small, must've been a pretty mini dino, and must've also been pretty watery since it made kind of a domed hamburger patty shape instead of a healthy log. Or maybe that just happened over time who knows. You could, you know, give it back.

Anything I've 3D printed counts. I made a grocery bag holder hook thingy so I don't hurt my fingers whenever I try to carry everything in one trip. Dumb and functional but nothing anyone should drop money on.

One day you're lounging around doing whatever, the next you're pushing a 18 mile back country slog with nothing but mre's and a rubber vice on your balls. Who's laughing then?

I used to have a lot of sponsored hair products. Like a lot. It's down to, idk, 20 or so since I no longer get them and they've been running out as I've been using but at peak I had 40-something assorted conditioners masks oils etc.

I have a 1.5 inch cube of tungsten. Cost way more than I'm willing to admit. It's tiny, and weighs a whole kilogram. It's my version of a fidget spinner. It's so heavy. And also this Nic Cage in a banana pillow (featured on Last Week Tonight)

Two things are competing for the title: I have a nonfunctional Apple Lisa in my office closet. It is probably worthless to everyone but turbonerds or maybe the Computer History Museum. I have a fully functional Louet Megado demo-sized computerized loom that I have woven exactly one thing on in the seven years I've owned it. It cost twice what my car cost, and it is one of maybe 100, if that. It is worth that plus some.

I have three of these in different colors. They are called the "Fuckofftopus". Great fun, but dumb. Mrs. Genesplicer got them for me, she agrees they are quite dumb. I also have Heisenberg's pork pie hat from "Breaking Bad". Not the original, but an exact copy of Heisenberg's, made by the same company that made the original. However, when wearing my hat, I do not look cool and threatening like Heisenberg. No. Not even close. I look like a doughy nerd trying to look cool and threatening, but failing in every way imaginable.

Probably some really cheap cut rate whisky stones I got in a package of nerd goods that suck, are probably made of toxic materials, and 100 percent a choking hazard to even a full grown suburban dad.

I also have the useless box. It's very dumb, but endlessly amusing. You flip the switch, the box opens, and a little finger turns off the switch. And the box closes. I love this thing.
