Nice, very nice :) .

Let me see, we have a very nice, unused snake trap.

Would anyone like it?

I guess that the dumbest thing I own would be me. Anyone wanna trade?

Actually since I moved - and moved quickly out of a space I've occupied for 22 years, hence - 22 years of "stuff", I got rid of a ton of useless stuff.

So ... I have no "stuff" :D

However, give me a couple more holidays and I'm sure my Mother will have foisted some new "stuff" onto me ...

I own a bugle. DON'T ASK!!:rolleyes:

What are you talking about? That's effin' rad!

If this is real, it will be hard to beat. Maybe I need to post my fur coat.:o (but it's functional! So warm!)

The dumbest thing I own?

A functional TRS-80!

Tom... that's sweet.
If you ever kill it, the gold in the circuits is worth extracting. The old machines manufacturing used gold threading over ten times as thick as what is used now.

Perhaps you could offer it up as a backup server in case of another meltdown?

A television set.

A cane-sword I picked up for $20. It rattles when carried, has no bottom (so pretty much its a sword in a screw-on aluminum pipe), and is made from some low grade Chinese stainless steel. It sits right by a cane-sword that was hand-forged in Texas out of a very high grade of carbon steel, no rattles, and is decently sharp (any sharper, it the edge would wear too much.) However, the second cane-sword was a lot more expensive, but its definitely worth it.

An antique, hand-powered electro therapy device.

^^ I want that!

^^ I want that!They were all over eBay a few years ago. Might still be. They went for around $50, as I recall.

2 cans of M*A*S*H beer - Full!

Roomba.. that things the worst 50 bucks I ever spent.. (I got it second hand.. still)

i refuse to answer this question.

Oh, look! It's a copy of Arsenio Hall's "Chunky A" album!!!


:eek:


I didn't actually buy that, did I? :( Why can't I remember???

A betta fish. It's pretty darn stupid. Proof? It watches TV and does nothing else when someone turns the set on. It even ignores food if I put it in the bowl while the TV is on. Oh, and it also tries to attack the little decorative fish hanging from the decorative fisherman's rod.

Yeah, I did learn my first programming on that computer though, with Basic and Assembler Machine Language, though. I've actually thought about gutting it and dropping modern boards, a dual core rpocesser and CRT in it and adding some USB ports and ethernet, just for fun. :D Make it a TRS-80 in name only, and get it net and game ready. Could you imagine the comments after saying something like I'm online using a TRS-80? :p

I have a 5x4x1ft humidor cabinet with glass doors, I don't have any cigars, it holds golf balls and empty cigar boxes and other crap. I need to stay away from garage sales.

Could you imagine the comments after saying something like I'm online using a TRS-80? :pWouldn't surprise me if someone has done just that. Someone designed and built an ethernet card for Apple II computers (IIe and IIgs at least, not sure if it works with a II+ or a standard II. No room in a IIc/IIc+, obviously.), and there are web browsers that will run on a IIe, and probably graphical browsers for the IIgs' GS/OS. I think I've seen at least a hacked-together method for getting a Commodore 64 online as well.

One time, in 2000 or 2001, in a bout of frustration with my computer at the time (specifically its Windows operating system), I threw the computer in the closet, pulled out a Macintosh SE/30*, and set it up on my desk. It took some work, but with the right collection of hardware and software, I got it online. WWW, email, and possibly IRC. I think that was my main computer for about a month.




* Circa 1989, 1-bit, 512x342 screen, 16MHz Motorola 68030 CPU, this one was upgraded to 32MB of RAM and a 1GB hard drive. This same computer has at times run various incarnations of the Macintosh System (6.0.x - 7.5.5 or 7.6.1, my favorite was 7.1), A/UX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/UX), and some kind of BSD, probably Net.**

** Hmm, I guess this toaster Mac pimped out with rare, expensive, and just plain weird hardware and software might qualify as being pretty damn dumb. :)

My mother gave my wife a 4 foot tall wicker giraffe.

I have a Vanilla Ice CD. Two CASES of wood Q-Tips. A Ghillie Suit. .30-06 ammo, but no gun. A complete set of dental tools. A speculum (OB/GYN duckbill for those that don't know). Canadian money, Just kidding, i actually collect it in case Obama becomes President. An old reel-to-reel projector. My daughter says the Stuffed African Steenbok mounted on my wall. It was the world record for a few months. My daughter has a backpack full of porn she hates, but doesn't throw out. My wife has a collection of AC adaptors dating back to your TRS-80. A speedo (Banana hammock). I look like Bigfoot stuck in an inner tube.

My manhood, no really it's this hood that I wear that is attached to my sweatshirt. Maybe it's called a hooded sweatshirt. Hmmmm.

My stupid Porsche. Useless car...

I have a nearly 4000 lb machine that costs roughly $0.60/mile to haul a 200 lb cargo over a smooth surface.

A bottle of Armor All I bought when I was a cycling n00b for my bicycle tires. (Think about that one for a second.) It has possibly fermented into something else by this point. Some lessons are painful.

A rock. The very first appartment I had, when I moved in the was a rock about five to six inches around sitting on the balcony (fourth floor apartment). Everytime I/we move the rock goes also.

If this is real, it will be hard to beat. Maybe I need to post my fur coat.:o (but it's functional! So warm!)

Oh its real allright! I picked it up at a flea market for $8.00, had it on my living room wall till my oldest got married and got her own place (thats when I gave her the pic) I picked her up today so she could spend a bit of time with us (she was off work) and there it was still on her wall :lol: I asked her when she was going to get rid of it and she said,"What are you crazy! Thats the coolest thing in the world!" well that and the David Bowie Glass Spider Tour 2 CD and 1 DVD set I bought her yesterday ;) she was happy :) I love my daughter :D

this stupid viewsonic crt. never buy viewsonic.

how do you get it to go fast enough to do this?!

Video games

Yeah, I did learn my first programming on that computer though, with Basic and Assembler Machine Language, though.

Aww come on....go get a 300 baud audible coupling modem and old phone and connect that way.
I bet there's nothing on the other end that will even listen now days :p

I have an R. Lee Ermy bobble head.

A pink bowling ball with the holes screwed up. (it was a gag gift)

Lets see... Probably all the stuff that I try not to kill myself on: motorcycle (not finished building it, but already almost crashed it coasting down the driveway (long story)), tallbike (pretty safe, but did crash twice), rock and ice climbing gear...

Trinity. Aka spasma dog. :o

But I love her.

oh yea, I forgot the dog. The bowling ball may have the edge on smarts.....

I've got a Milli Vanilli CD on my boat, and my folks have the ColecoVision(a video game console) they gave me for Christmas in 1983.

Somewhere I used to have a small cast iron beaver. Where it came from I have no idea....but it's somwhere in all my boxes of crap I don't use.

...how the hell does one use a cast iron beaver?

One of the first machines I ever used as well, we rented it when we were in high school to log in to the school's mainframe using those rubber phone cradles. I love the idea of retrofitting and spanking new box in the old case, that would be hilarious. I picture the look on your friend's face after you point to it when they ask if they can check their email while visiting your place.

Well...it's useful to chuck at intruders?

how do you get it to go fast enough to do this?!How do I get which fast enough to do what? :)
