Take a look around the room you're in right now - your bedroom, your office, the school computer room you broke into at 1am to get fast internet - and let your eye settle on an object that other people, even if they knew you quite well, might not have expected to find there.
Describe it to us, but leave it as an exercise for the reader to try to work out why it's there...

a garden gnome: maybe 8-10 inches high, wearing yellow-ish trousers, a green top and a green hat and carrying a sunflower in one arm.

Re: 1 random object
and no one's actually guessing why those things are there... i'll make a start then.
maybe ponder's nose pliers are there for the same reason why i have a freeware alternative to everything microsoft running on my computer: just a threat is sometimes enough to stop computers from getting silly ideas
andy: so you can always call for help?
ang: for about the same reason why i tend to have a collection of (used) metal and plastic spoons in my room *runs from sp*
won't guess about sp's, since i know the answer already.

Re: 1 random object
I have in my room, nothing of the unusual sort, except me...oh, and a Death costume.
I know, lets all jump of the white cliffs of Dover holding hands!
Re: 1 random object
I certainly can't think of a legal explanation for Andy's emergency phone... I can think of lots of fun reasons, but they all involve being drunk and thinking it would be a good idea to just borrow it for a while
I reckon SP's manikin is there because she used it when she was coming up with the Omnian costumes, but I could be wrong... It certainly doesn't explain the rose and the suit...
And Ang's spoons? She was needed to know how tall she was, measured in spoons, and it turns out she's 10 spoons high

Funny

But yes Ratty was right, i dont really collect them as such but for lunch everyday i get a spoon from school and i just seem to end up putting them on my desk, i have quite a collection
Angua

Re: 1 random object
I'd like to apologise profusely. Not for implying that Angua's tiny... she is... but for the phrase "She was needed to know"...
I hereby resign from claiming that I can speak English, and will ask Ratty to translate for me from now on.

Re: 1 random object
Hehe, thanks. but translate from what? scrubby - english, english - scrubby?
i do feel slightly insulted though, because if you say ang is tiny, you are also implying that i am tiny, too, since i'm less than a spoon taller than her. *sniff*
