Obscure Memorabilia
At home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

here we go.
My family has been taking trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for the past 16 years. Lovely place. There's an old hunting club from the 20s called the Whalehead Club. It was refurbished a few years ago and they sold off bits and pieces they scrapped. I have four of the original copper shingles off the roof.
I also have a pair of 3D glasses from the muppets thing in Disneyworld. I went there with the music department my senior year of high school (2 years ago). The guys I was with loaded their backpack with as many glasses as they could fit. I settled for one pair. I also have a scrap of newspaper that reads 'Magic' residing in a bag I bought on that trip. I remember the relevance of the word, but not where the paper came from.
I also have a coin from that big ol treasure filled cave from Pirates of the Caribbean, a napkin dispenser from Friendly's, and an employee nametag from Brigham's (just like Friendly's only New England-specific) that reads 'Mrs. Up the Butt'. A Sex in the City reference, I believe.
I made a bid on the bloated albino stomach Alan Cummings wore in Josey and the Pussycats when it was up on ebay, but alas, I was outdone.
A friend of mine owns a glass drunk from by Dominic Monaghan at an Oscar party.
