The Junk Drawer

I'd like to share with everyone some of the things I found tonight while cleaning out my junk drawer:

• the bloody bandana used to wrap up my hand when I sliced it open during a drama performance (the pastor of the church didn't want it back)


• the luggage tags from just about every choir tour I went on in high school


• my brother's strobe light, which we permanently borrowed for parties at Bobby's house


• about 50 AOL CDs, ready to be used as coasters or Christmas decorations


• a bunch of Mardi Gras beads, which is odd since I've never been


• a GI Joe and a Transformer (Beach Head and Beachcomber, respectively)


• my first temporary driver's licence (the one they give you before the real one comes in the mail


• the original engine coolant cap from my old Corsica (it was replaced in an ill-fated attempt to fix the constant leaking


• some brochures from Hawaii


• an old flashlight, complete with leaking battery


• some matches from a restaurant in city I've never been to (???)


• three of the classic decks of cards used in millions of games of spades and 313 at the BCM in college (Coke, Coke Polar Bear, and Looney Toons, anyone?)


• a Vestavia Hills "Junior Police" badge


• a napkin from my dad's retirement party in 1989


• a key (hope it wasn't to anything important)


• a sign that was looted from my church's old Christian Life Center before it was torn down - "This room is reserved for men only (18 and over)"


• one Lego
