Ask anyone that knows me well, and they will eventually tell you Im an odd person. I own a personal grooming kit that is only allowed to touch the beard. I have a very specific way to wash dishes, and if someone else does dishes I have to leave or Ill go nuts. I also like/want to collect weird things. So Im wondering what DAKKA likes that isnt.....normal. Ill start things off of course

Firstly, Ive been looking for the perfect phone for my computer desk. And I friggin LOVE the way a touch tone desk phone looks. Infact any older phone with a squared touch pad just catches my eyes.




And lastly, I seriously want to own an older dental phantom. Mostly ones with the metal "gums" but even if it had the plastic ones would be fine

metal is on the bottom

Those phantom teeth things look like someone cracked a jolly good joke!
for some reason they remind me of the Cadbury's Smash aliens laughing.

Blank ceramic drama masks are one that I assume everyone here could guess from my avatar.

Another fascination of mine are the bodies of the recently deceased provided there are no visible wounds, humans to a lesser degree as their anatomy bores me. They have a look of serenity about them and are considerably easier to study than moving creatures.

Linked to the second one I adore bones, few things fill me with as much awe as the skeletons of various animals.

So if there's a murderer on the loose who leaves no visible wounds and scatters the bones of deceased animals around, with the only witness statement saying they saw someone wearing a blank ceramic mask fleeing the scene, we can safely assume you've gone off the deep end?

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

It's not an object, but tinkering with stuff. Just give me a decent set of tools and everything within a 20 foot radius will most likely be in pieces within the hour. If I took all the bits and pieces of bicycles lying around in my garage and actually assembled them, I'd probably have 4 or 5 bikes.

I also love broken sea shells. I just think they'e so much more interesting than whole ones.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

I like seeing the way people tick. Not like corpses though, wounds are really cool to look at. I watched a surgeon do a spinal disc removal and he removed the back part of the spine and used something I can describe as a mini ice-cream scooper to scoop out the disc. Seeing that stuff is awesome, that and an open heart surgery was cool. They take it out and for a few moments the only thing keeping the guy on the table alive is a machine circulating blood. There's a huge cavity where the heart used to be and when they start putting in the new heart it started to beat after a few sutures were put it.

Truly surreal to watch and a main reason why I want to work in MASH like conditions, that and the instant gratification of knowing you patched someone up and maybe improved their future quality of life.
