four years pass...

shit I noticed at my grandparents' house while cleaning tonight:

-a perpetual motion machine that hasn't been in motion since ≈2007
-two bird clocks that tweet every hour and a mantel clock that chimes every 15 minutes
-a blue nun figurine whose head comes off to reveal an empty bottle of 1984 Blue Nun wine
-"my wife ran away with my best friend...and I sure miss him"
-"all men are created equal...poor things"
-at least $350 worth of IHOP, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, and Panera gift cards
-a showbox picture frame stuffed with creased and crumpled photos from 1995-1998. A++, jams up 100% of the time
-hand-painted, disembodied clay heads of dogs and Indians and bonneted ladies, mounted on the wall of my grandpa's office and used to hold his baseball caps
-decorations from every major holiday: pumpkins next to Easter bunnies next to birds in winter hats. you don't care about time when you're 86
-a golf ball hanging from a string mounted on the garage ceiling, used as a parking aid so your car doesn't hit the wall
-knick-knacks from kids' show that haven't aired in liek 20 years (California Raisins figurines, Pee Wee Herman doll, troll heads, plush Barneys)
-lots of free giveaway logoed merch (dancing humanoid Verizon basketballs!)
-a Taco Bell chihuahua bobblehead
-a curio cabinet filled with Snowbabies and snowglobes. no fucking way am I ever going to dust these things
-a rooster toothpick dispenser. when you press on its back it grabs a toothpick with its beak. pretty sick tbph
-a surprisingly small number of owl knick-knacks. they have a giant stoneware owl on their hearth and an owl plaque made of pinecone spines on their laundry room wall, but I swear they had more when I was a kid. I guess these two dudes are the only survivors of a succession of post-'70s domestic owl cullings
-dozens and dozens of non-owl bird knick-knacks. 99% of their house is birds
