Name your artifact...

[El Moose Monstero]

What artifact do you own that has either a sentimental meaning, bizarre or inexplicable attachment or some sort of safety anchor to something?

The thing that has gone with me to Lancaster and to Oregon State Uni has been a very old Cricket Ball, I have no idea who's it is, I assume that it belongs to the old man from his cricketing days, but it holds no specific meaning. Yet for some bizarre reason, the smell and feel of it relaxes me.

[LT.Hit-Man]

Hmmm.
That's a hard one for me to answer, I'll get back to you on that in a bit.

[Brother-Captain Gaius]

My tattered security blanket.

ph34r

[Sriad]

I have this footprint hanging on my wall, it's black paint on cardboard, a human foot with claws painted on. It was done for me by a friend towards the end of high school, and I think I'll go look at it now.

Oh yea, also my towel.

[Kuja]

I used to have a nice security blanket, but *sniff* that's been gone for some time now.

I suppose my late grandmother's rosary applies.

[Ghost Rider]

My grandpa's pocket watch.

[Gandalf]

My books and my signed picture of Gowron.

I don't know why.

[Captain tycho]

A small piece of half-eaten candy that I choked on and nearly died from in the 5th grade. It's sitting in my freezer as we speak. Someday I'll teach it to toy with my throat.

[Cthulhu-chan]

A pair of silver ankhs on a silver rope chain. I haven't removed them for years. One of the ankhs I've had since highschool, and the other I obtained in Egypt. Bleh, it was about the only high point of that entire military debacle.

[Zac Naloen]

a black necklace my sister got for me three years ago, i haven't taken it off since then... although, im going to have to soon, my neck is getting to big for it

[InnerBrat]

Alice Cooper's cane.

Muahaha! He lurves me!

[Spanky The Dolphin]

My books, DVDs, toys, and the "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah" Nirvana t-shirt that's been my favourite for seven years.

You're in Oregon?

[Embracer Of Darkness]

I guess it's just cheesy Pagan fluff, but I won't leave my room without putting on my silver pentacle pendant. I just don't feel complete without it.

[SirNitram]

My stick. All six foot of it.

[Nathan F]

I've got some old instruments out of a B-17, those are pretty cool.

I have some firearms with historical value, too.

[Bertie Wooster]

I have an old G.I. Joe Sgt. Slaughter action figure that I haven't lost for some reason. I also have a half-melted boba fett figure that I've had since I was like 4. I'm probably gonna have these two things till I'm like 80...

[Death from the Sea]

A small piece of half-eaten candy that I choked on and nearly died from in the 5th grade. It's sitting in my freezer as we speak. Someday I'll teach it to toy with my throat.

that is gross, why keep that?

Mine would be the personalized pocket knife my father gave me.

[The Yosemite Bear]

I have a six foot wide 2 foot high wood cut of The Man of La Mancha.

[Spanky The Dolphin]

As for wearable artifacts, it would have to be a chrome Celebrity analogue watch that I got at the Canadian duty-free store in Niagara Falls for about $25 five years ago. I wear it virtually all the time, only taking it off to shower or sleep.

I don't like how it feels when I'm not wearing it, like I'm almost off balance...

[Batman]

-Sentimental meaning
a T-Shirt that my co-workers at my last job got me for my birthday (sniff)

-inexplicable attachment
my CherryCoke cans
a combination artifact made of a Hulk Hogan figure bench-pressing a Siku 'John Player Team' Porsche 911

-explicable attachment
my Kenner 'Millenium Falcon' model

[The Dark]

For wearables, my Casio Illuminator Databank watch (especially since it has the ability to store phone numbers) and my high school class ring.

For things I keep safe, my bronze medal from the Indoor Drumline World Championships and the cross-stitch of Teresa Wentzler's "The Castle" that my mother made for me (took her three years to stitch).

[Zoink]

Off hand:

My copper coin of Emperor Hadrian, I just thinks its cool.

My Boba Fett action figure, he was my favorite action figure as a kid (I still have all my action figures in near mint condition, they're all sitting on a shelf at my parents house ).

One of my issues of "Our Army at War" (issue 190 something), it was the first comic book I read. I have a torn-up copy, and a more recently purchased n-mint copy.

You're in Oregon?

Corvallis, Oregon, to be precise. Yeh, got the grades required for the Environmental Science exchange program, Oregon's the place, -8 hours is the time, and it's all rather groovy. Am here for the entire second year, aside from coming back at Christmas, dissertation project and all.

[Tasoth]

my flannel dinosaur sheet because it feels the same way as my blanky did when I was a weeeee little terror......
