jar full of weird shit

"There's always something about your success that displeases even your best friends."

---Mark Twain

when was the last time ya had one of these? keebler called them sweetspots. i have a collection of the cardboard sleeves they came in. i've kept them for well over 15 years in a glass bear-shaped jar that used to contain Skippy peanut butter.

other contents of the jar include:

1 key-chain sized Clue board game

1 bend-ee frankenstein monster figure

20+ beer bottle caps from various beer companies

4 gross feathers from my old bird PJ

1 stegasaurus

1 bottle cap for Elliott's Amazing All Natural juice with Mark Twain quote on the underside

1 snapple bottle cap (before factoids)

2 rubberbands

2 tiny perforated coupons with  movie posters on them (from junk mail we used to always get)

 - Grease

 - The Hunt for Red October

 - ALIENS 

1 wooden peg thing

1 seashell

1 gold rcok

4 buttons

1 bottle cap for lemon lime soda

1 yellow (!) feather

1 plastic cage with bloody eyeball on it (MAD MAX?)

3 paper clip chains

1 Half Dollar

2 perforated junk mail coupon things for albums

 - U2 "Rattle and Hum" 

 - Sting "Nothing like the Sun"

1 acorn

5 shale rocks (thought these were dino bones)

3 fortune cookie sized papers with my address on it

1 large chrome thing

1 crow feather

1 chocolate soda bottle cap

1 weird smooth rock that looks like it was painted with bubbles

1 poland spring bottle cap

1 small piece of concrete from sidewalk

2 soda/beer can tabs

1 weird seed pod that reminds me of Critters the movie or something like that

I wonder what the common factor between these things is? was it my tactile phase? have i ever grown out of this phase really? maybe i should start new jars?
