I often allow the bunker to get pretty nasty. Toney won’t clean in here, because she considers it my mess, and my problem. Which is unfortunately true. So, when I’ve had enough and finally clean it up, it can be quite an ordeal. Sometimes I need a snow shovel up in this bitch.
Last time wasn’t so bad. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf, you see. But it was still fairly dusty. And where does dust come from, anyway? I read somewhere it’s dead skin. Can that possibly be true?! Am I just sitting in here, rocketing flakes in every direction? I don’t think I care for it.
In any case, this is a photo of the shelf above my computer monitor. As you can see, five items had previously been resting there. Can you guess what they were? Any ideas?
Tomorrow I’ll post another picture, with the items replaced. So let’s turn filth into fun! Use the comments link to post your guesses. I’ve taken the liberty of numbering the interruptions in nastiness, for your convenience.
And is that a fingernail clipping in the middle? It’s quite possible, but I’m uncertain. If it is, it’s just a pinkie shard. We should all be glad it’s not off a big toe…

4 – odd-shaped clock. maybe in shoe form?

I can’t believe you leave that stuff just laying around out in the open…having a family and all. At least you keep #1 kinda hidden and I haven’t seen a #4 since one weekend in Tijuana years ago. You could probably get over $300.00 on eBay for # 5 if they let you post it. When you put the stuff back I think you should switch the placement of #2 and #3. The way there now un-fungs the ‘shway’ and I think it would help bring the shelf together a little more.
I’m guessing you keep #6 on the lower shelf at the ready. Beer nuts…of course!
You guys are all way off!
#1 and #2 are the disproportionate butt prints of an elf that was sitting on the shelf with one legged propped up leaving a boot print which is #4. His other leg was resting on #3, the Mariah Carey CD. #5 is where he had his beer.
