Wierdest thing in your house

Toss-up for strangest thing. *I* don’t consider them odd, but others might.
(1) My collection of puppets. Hand puppets, ventriloquist dummies, marionettes, whatever. I like ’em all.
(2) My collection of All Things Satan. Coop (“lowbrow” cult artist Christopher “Coop” Cooper) stickers, an artist’s proof of Coop’s Church of Satan recruitment poster (among various and sundry other posters), numerous masks and headwear, old advertisements, postcards, an Anton Szandor LaVey 10″ record ([i]Strange Music[/i]), figurines, more puppets…ever-expanding. Need more room.
(3) The infamous Tiki Bar. Self-constructed, decorated, and stocked. Still don’t have any little paper umbrellas, though.
The Tiki Bar fascinates most people when they hear about it, so it’s weird in that it’s unusual. The puppet collection creeps people out the most in *theory*, until they actually see it, and see that it’s just a bunch of…well, puppets. Most of ’em fairly cute. The Satanic Shrine sounds kind of kitsch in theory, but I have had people refuse to stay the night in the room in which it’s housed (the spare bedroom/my Den of Iniquity). Guess it’s so much Satan in so little space. So, they’re all about equal, I guess.
