Obscure MemorabiliaAt 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?

My dad & I are amateur musicologistsWe must have more CDs than anyone else on our street - nay, more than everyone else on our street COMBINED... But Dad never threw out his old vinyls. Granted, we never got anything signed, but it's still a treasure digging through his stacks of old stuff and finding Yes' first album, or Richard Pryor's early stuff on vinyl, or old Motown albums, or any of a million other obscure bands that maybe one out of a million guys my age (22) has heard of, like Savoy Brown or Captain Beyond.
Meanwhile, in the region of American football (which none of you give a shit about, so I don't know why I'm bringing it up), we have a picture of myself and my dad with Walter Payton taken a good twelve years ago, before he died... Walter Payton being arguably the best player the Chicago Bears ever had.
Apologies for length, but I can be longwinded at times.
