So I thought I would start the study again but with popular* contemporary bloggers.
Dr Max Tunguska has, working from left to right, on his mantelpiece over a fine open log fire, the following:
- A jar of nitroglycerin.
- A human brain in a jar covered in formaldehyde with some wires sticking out of it. The label has Max Tunguska scribbled out and Vacant Possession written in underneath.
- Some green glowing rocks sitting on a wooden plaque with a brass engraved plate showing the wording Essential Power-source from Atlantis.
- Discharge paperwork from the mental asylum (forged).
- One dead bonsai tree.
- Two small reel-to-reel tapes left here by Jericho Roth.
- A cup of coffee.
- Eolist sitting swinging her feet.
If any other bloggers would like to document their mantelpieces, be my guest.
* Starting with The Tunguska Event is stretching popular to breaking point, so bite me.

Ha! This is awesome! Okay, here goes...
ReplyDelete- Twenty eight pence in loose change.
- Receipt for a brace of lobsters.
- A coffee bucket with Eolist's lipstick on it.
- A long, bent metal thing with a lump on the end.
- Bag for said long, bent metal thing.
- That photo of Jericho with Nixon and Kissinger.
- A large bite mark, the bite radius of which suggests a squallus much bigger than any normal squallus found in these waters.
- A clock that hasn't worked since 1897, the last time I wound it up.
Well, that's it, I think.
Oh, and say hi to Eolist for me, won't you?
on my mantel (left to right):
ReplyDeletea tiny round clock on a pedestal that consistently reads 2:45
a statue of a green alien family of four
a scorched wooden candle holder that bears the word "shine"
a small wordy ode to two tiny tornadoes
a photo of said tiny tornadoes laying on the floor with their grandfather.
PS: may i correct one thing regarding your mantel? the cup of coffee is currently empty and would like to be refilled...
