Matchbook-o-Rama
The newest addition to lileks.com. Whenever I see the stuff Mr. Lileks puts up, I always imagine me as the Joker asking where Batman gets all those wonderful toys. Of course, I'm one to talk--the whole house bulges with stuff I wouldn't let my mom and dad throw away: a mid-50s tin of Ann Page Red Pepper, a coffee urn shaped like a Mercury capsule, an electric facial muscle stimulator (Mom and Dad were concerned about those tell-tale signs of aging), a pecan can full of screw-in fuses, my old Lincoln Logs (they're fun AND educational--they would probably be even more so without the splinters); then there's all of my dad's welding stuff--torches, an acetylene tank T-wrench, railroad switchbox keys, chipping hammers, goggles, all the little iron bookends and doodads he made--the list goes on and on.

Just another in the long list of "Stuff That Makes People Look At Me Funny." (Of course, Lileks gets a book deal out of his, and I wind up with a sore toe from tripping over my junk)
