My vote is for empty chairs. Late at night, all alone, empty chairs are uncanny. They would talk if they had mouths. Feel free to post pictures of spooky empty chairs.

The armoire knows things you will never, never know.

Look at its sad eyes! Love and loss, it has seen. Love and loss. Wooing and consummation and boredom and ugly late-night recriminations. The armoire knows its terrible inevitability. It weeps for us all.

it appears very stoic about it all though

I wish I had an armoire like that.

From the back, the cello, she is almost like a sulking woman, refusing to look you in the eye after an argument... and yet... you can't stay mad at her... you know you can't resist caressing those curves...

Fraternity were Bon Scott's second band. Anyone heard them?

Washing machines skulk in corners, viewing the human species which created them with jaundiced cyclopian eye:

I was thinking washing machines, but for me it's all about the book. A closed book looks like someone sleeping, curled up in a foetus position, dreaming a sweet, complicated dream. An open book knows everything you ever wanted to know, and if you're nice to it, it might tell you.

They communicate by flickering and know the pain this causes us. They've got a plan.

Feeling sad agin? A little weepy? You need something, don't you? What is it? Suddenly, from across the room, a signal, like a little white hand waving: Over here.

Go ahead, take one--this is what you want. And, look, there's another, just like nothing ever happened. Just like everything's fine. Another one? Sure. Feel free. There are plenty there. Pop! See, a new one. All the taking in the world won't diminish the supply.

Ah, if only people were like this.

I love this thread too. But right now it's making me feel like everything in my room is looking at me: the phone, tape recorder, stereo remote, camera, lamp, speakers, watch, fake flowers, etc. I am glad that I can laugh the (very slight) paranoia off.

Seeing the Fuzz Face above reminded me of how my cousin and I took my uncle's vintage, mint condition one out into the woods when we were kids and buried it, because it looked like a land mine. We promptly forgot where we buried it.
