Maybe a Day of the Dead shrine (to my grandmother) in the living room or an anatomically correct ceramic bull in the kitchen?

I like it. Martha Beck tells us to surround ourselves with quotes that remind us of our personal power as well.

The doll parts? Very Shining. Yikes.

Weirdest thing in my home? Well, I study civets and small tropical mammals, so for the holiday I received stamps from Cambodia, Tanzania and Hong Kong portraying small endangered mammals such as the chinese porcupine, nine-banded civet and several genets from Malaysia.

A dead ficus tree that I painted red.

My parents have the head of my brothers cabbage patch kid in their backyard - it's on the body of a plastic squirrel. It's been there for over 10 years!

Eww, I really don't like the doll knobs, at all, and I consider myself to be a little dark and quirky.

I have some lovely frames comprised of skulls, they are designed by a local Hawaii artist, Dennis Matthewson and sold by Pictures Plus, a Hawaii framing shop.

I am also the owner of a purple snuggie with a peace sign print and one of those spray water bottles with a little fan attached (you can wear it around your neck and its fuschia!).

The doll parts are disturbing.

seventy7seconds...I bet that makes you all laugh every time you look at it!

small casket replica that belonged to my mortician grandfather, as well as folding chairs that once graced his funeral home.

A wreath of skulls hanging over the head of my bed. I didn't have place to store it safely after halloween!

An 'alien in a jar' being used as a door stop.

Little plastic glow-in-the-dark spiders on the mirror in my bathroom that most people wouldn't notice.

Gargoyle statue in my 3 month old's room.

Plastic dinos in my planters - from before I had kids!

The list goes on...
love the dresser shown haha

Baby doll head soap and my wisdom teeth in an antique perfume bottle.

We use a garden gnome as the door stop to our bedroom.

inchbranch - it does!
I kid you not - it's even been accounted for in my parents will!

Ok, my skull frames don't seem that weird now. I guess only if I'm clutching the frame to my bosum while wearing the snuggie and the sprayer/fan around my neck?

I don't have anything weird in my home. How sad.

LMAO love the framed Oprah cover!

I'd have to say my weirdest thing is a 16 x 20 pop art painting I did of Nancy Sinatra.

Right now, the weirdest thing in my living room is a Halloween candy bowl full of dice (sitting on a bookshelf), but I'm still decorating the new place. Give me time!

seventy7seconds, that's classic!

I am without a doubt the weirdest thing in our house.

On the doll heads theme, here's a photo from my flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightorchard/4694153641/in/set-72157621273929221,/a href>

There are two things in my home that I would classify as "weird". The first is a holdover from my husband's bachelor days and is a full suit of armor. It stands about 7 feet tall and is named "Sir Drinks-a-Lot". It's currently living in our laundry/storage room for now, but I'm sure once we finish rennovating our Family Room my husband will want to move it in there!

The second is in our laundry/storage room and it's a giant "mural" of the Swiss Alps. I use the term "mural" loosely because it's really just giant blocks of wallpaper that when pieced together, make a "mural" of the Swiss Alps. It came with the house and, as of now, we have no intention of removing it. It's not a room seen by guests, and we love that we can tell people we have a mural room!

I suppose it totally depends on your definition of weird....the MC Hammer doll in gold clothing, classic Godzilla mask and Robbie the Robot statue seem completely normal to my partner and I. ;-)

A naked kewpie doll from my first Christmas in 1968.

Sorry, http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightorchard/4694153641/in/set-72157621273929221</a href>

My shark collection (which I don't think is weird. Others do.)

My kid's teeth. I keep wondering if one day it'll make sense as to why I'm holding on to them. I can't even tell my kid that I have them - cus the tooth fairy picks them up, ya know. My mom got me a kid tooth holder for Xmas one year. It's cute. But each time I stumble across the teeth, I wonder why.

Oh, take your pick: A crystal carved into the shape of a free-standing penis, a fortune telling napkin dispenser, a large Ouija board collection (mostly old ones from the 40's); in fact, I collect almost anything that is a vintage fortune-telling device, game, oracle, or novelty. I also have handmade goth dolls. My boyfriend likes skulls.... real or replica. We're not goth, just slightly "off", perhaps. My house actually appears pretty normal until you start to notice certain things. People seem to enjoy it, but wouldn't necessarily do it, themselves.

a shelf of household gods, many with exaggerated sex organs (male and female)

I think the doll image has slanted the answers toward the most macabre items rather than just the weirdest.

I have a toy model of an AT AT imperial walker from Star Wars on my bookshelf that my brother inexplicably gave me.

Weirdest thing...probably the mannequin in the kitchen leaning beside the fridge. She's dressed like a cross between a Mardi Gras chick and character from Fargo. Think glittery beads and a winter hat with ear flaps. Oh, and she's legless, so she's only waist height and we have gotten so used to her I don't even really *see* her any more, til I almost knock her over getting too many things out of the fridge at once.

I would have to say myself.

art made by a friend which includes a troll doll head (including crown made from a dollar bill) on a gold plastic crucifix, affixed to 10 inch square, purple-painted, piece of plywood, edged in christmas garland.

Also, I completely forgot... I have an elephant figurine made out of elephant dung. I collect elephants, and this by far is my weirdest! It always grosses people out when they find out what it's made from!

I have a shrine to the gods in my entryway. Jesus, Ganesh, Oscar Wilde, Guadalupe, Santa Muerte, Krishna, and Buddha are all represented. It's a growing... collection.

All I have is a lady on a stick used for sewing... my friends think it's creepy.

I have a paper bag full of hair from my now deceased dog that I someday want to have made into yarn. If you've never heard of dog hair yarn it's call chiengora

"Andrew" is the head of an old Pinata, he watches over all the drinking.
"Fred" is a stuffed hamster with a walker you get for someone's 50th birthday. I put a mink wine bottle cover on him and he sits outside sometimes and stares in the window. Sometimes we stash $$ in his mink and call him our pimp.
And WALL-E my brother made by welding pipes and stuff together - I love him.
BTW.. I'm 55 and my husband is 56. Age is a state of mind.

ps.. I love seventy7seconds parents.
Maybe they would like to come over for a drink.

A side table decoupaged in colorful illustrations of beetles by a local artist, a locally bought wood walking stick brightly painted as a snake with its handle as the snake's head, and vividly painted wood jaguar masks from my Guatemalan vacations are in my living room.

My boyfriend's taxidermied owl.

The first time I went to his house after we'd met, when I walked into his bedroom and saw that on the wall, I knew we'd get along. I thought it was hilarious & bizarre & wonderful.

That was almost two years ago, and now I live there....:)

OMG.. I forgot!! My daughter's room (well she's 25 and doesn't actually live in that room anymore) in the window, on a table, is a hot pink half mannequin. I have her facing butt first out the window into my neighbors' driveway because she is a neurotic mess and needs someone to mess with her head once a day. (my neighbor, not my daughter).

I have a Hello Kitty alarm clock shaped like a teacup. I'm old enough to know that this is ridiculous, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it (it has a nightlight shaped like a slice of lemon!)

molly K..LOL

this is no longer up, but I collected the paper packaged that tea bags came in, and I made a collage on my wall with it that looked like a rainbow and a cup of tea.

My brother has a "Sprout" doll that I gave him when he was in college (He had a 7 foot styrofoam Jolly Green Giant in his dorm). His new wife wanted to throw it out, but he wouldn't let her. It's a compact momento from his pre-law college days.

A stuffed armadillo. I got in Mexico on our "8th grade Mexico trip." So I've had it for about 23 years now. A lot of people think it's gross. And I guess in a way it is but every year that I have it I become more attached to it.

A taxidermied baby skunk wearing a baptism gown, a taxidermied albino possum, and a galvanized steel coffin stand (as a coffee table). I come by my decorating style honestly - my mom has a stuffed squirrel, and a real human shrunken head (and those are the fairly normal things).

Easy. The painting in our bathroom, lovingly known as 'Hotdog Man'. Our assignment (in my first painting class) was to take a classic painting and alter it in someway. I recreated Frans Hals' famous painting 'The Jolly Toper' and inserted a hotdog into his hand, and a bendy straw into his cup. He watches you on the toilet, and this invariably draws commentary from our guests.

Two of my cats had to have teeth removed. They're now on display in medical vials in my china cabinet. I have the dentist's mold of my own teeth in my bedroom.

My husband!

Taxidermy has made it into a lot of these comments here - hahaha. I would allow a lot of things in my home, but not taxidermy.

I'd say the rubber dildo affixed to the bathroom wall that functions beautifully as a robe hook. It's amusing to see the look on guest's faces after using the "powder room." :)

I sadly don't own anything weird, thanks to the 23542742 times I've moved since college. My boyfriend, however, has this pickled snake in god-knows-what liquid (or as he claimed, medicinal wine) staring straight at you from inside a bottle. After numerous protests, it now still sits on the bookshelf behind his desk.

Definitely my blue stone penis paperweight.

I have a bust of George Washington who sometimes wears a Tajik hat I got in Afghanistan or a cowboy hat I got at the Pasadena flea market.
My bathroom sink is a zinc planter, but that's cool not weird.
I have a painting roundlty referred to as the Twins, which once appeared on AT to mostly boos. Stupid, stupid commenters. Don't know good art when it's saring at them in the face.
I have a tiny piece of film pinned to the wall that I picked up from the floor of a movie house in Kabul... the Taliban liked to cut up movies. I have a geode collected in western Washington by the grandfather of the current commander of U.S. Central Command (now I'm just bragging), and I have a 7 foot chicken feeder behind my Chesterfield. And a painting of my house with a T-Rex lurking behind it. I commissined it. It's awesome. Also I have 3 sizes of calipers in case I have to measure anyone's head, my mom's old stirrups (from horse riding, not birthing) and 4 tattered American flags and WWII bunting. And I have giant P and and H from a Baltimore water works sign (Chesapeake). And the entire series of Joe Bonamo's Handy Pocket Manuals, including How to Become Lovlier After 40, How to IMprove Your Bust Contour Featuring the Home Course Techniques and The Scientific and Easy Way to Gain Wight Shows You How TO Add Pounds And INCHES. (direct quotes). They are awesome.

oh, and i forgot: i have an armadillo basket made of his shell -- with head and tail linked together for the handle. It holds cat claw trimmers.

how to etc etc.

We also have a suit of armour (which doesn't seem weird now that I've read these posts). It came from the set of a TV show I worked on. It wears various headgear related to the holidays/seasons. It's currently wearing a San Francisco Giants World Series cap and a "I Voted" sticker on its chest.

P.S. Some visitors are disturbed by my clearly artificial ceramic, carved, and wall art representations of herptiles, arthropods, and other wild animals. Many of my home furnishings are "weird" in that I wouldn't display them if my home were on the market. Happily, I have enough botanically themed accessories to stage it.

@PleinJane I don't feel alone anymore!! Someone else has a suit of armor too! Mine came from a liquor store's display window though...not a movie set!

Right now? A cheesecloth wrapped sausage is hanging from my living room ceiling. Watching "The French Chef" will do that...

What seems weird may be due to your culture. I had a Filipino friend who wouldn't enter my living room until I assured her that the coffee table she saw from my foyer wasn't a reused coffin. It was just an Madurese wedding chest, and didn't look like any coffin I've seen.

Eisenhower's head...made of wax with one melted ear & a large crack in the crown. Made by inmates at Mississippi's Parchman Prison in the 50s. He was lying on the sidewalk in the hot sun (hence, the melted ear) and I'm pretty sure he said, "$4 is cheap for a President's head." he was right...I love him.

My shrunken head made out of goat-skin and my collections of preserved beetles and butterflies, and an emu egg on a stand. My husband and I also have an assortment of skulls around the home, including a black-bear. Somehow, it "works" with our decor without been too ooky.

Ooh, niteflights reminded me - a ziploc bag with my cat's (ALREADY SHEDDED) whiskers that are found around the house.

Also: a stamp of the Prime Minister of Malaysia

A blinky mat that my cat plays with; scares the hell out of me every night when I accidentally step on it

My Grandpa's old windup wooden music box that plays Beethoven's Fifth while a dog rises out of the box and dispenses cigarettes.

Oh, and my park ranger hat that sits on top of a giant teddy bear when I'm not working.

At should have a contest for the winner of weirdest thing - the comments are great.

Wow, this is an awesome post.

I have a ceramic bust of former San Diego Padres' catcher Benito Santiago, made for me by my sister in high school ceramics.

It is ridiculous and awesome.

I have a sequined rabbit sitting on top of my DVD player. But that's not so much weird, more random and people think I'm a bit odd for it. But it's cute!

A strange little doll head. Her hair was sacrificed to make a mustache for a friend's Halloween costume about five years ago, but there was just something about her face that made me cut away her body and keep the head around. My friends find it creepy. I don't think I can argue.

Picture here: http://twitpic.com/4mzco6

A close second would be a bizarre Dolly Parton tribute painting I unearthed at a thrift shop. This could probably also be called creepy, depending on your perspective. I just think it's hilarious.

Keep it weird! We all admire some sort of crazy! Here's the weirdest thing in my home... http://thriftcollective.blogspot.com/2010/12/creepiest-thrift-score-that-i-adore.html

An CT image of a Barbie doll doesn't seem too odd now...

I'm not sure we have much that's weird in our house . . . the lamp shaped like a lemon?

Probably the weirdest thing is 8 computers for 2 people (well, 9 if you count the iPad that arrived today). That doesn't include phones, either.

Probably me.

Can I just say: WOW. Y'all are totally awesome. I WISH I had something weird in my house. I'll have to mummify my cat or something. I have a friend who keeps dead critters in her freezer for study and as models for art. Ooh, I do have a nice cow skull I bought in San Antonio and I hope to do something creative with it someday.

My books, such as the one on methods of creating Poison Damsels -- women fed on poison who supposedly could murder men they slept with.

-1983 porcelain Darth Vader lamp.

-Action figure of myself.

-A hamburger mayor wall sculpture that I stole from McDonalds when I was 18

My books are the only things I can think of: A guide to Serial Killers, the Poisoner's Handbook, Anne Rice's beauty series.

I also still keep all my kids' teeth. Actually, they are in small bags in my jewelry box and the boys found them a couple of months ago when I forgot about them and asked them to get me something out of my jewelry box. The are 7 & 9 now, so it's not like it was a big mystery.

Oh, and a placenta in the freezer. I had a homebirth with my baby 3 months ago and just haven't done anything with the placenta yet.

Oprah is giving a fierce look!!! Beautiful cover.

I have an alpaca-shaped, terra cotta ocarina. To play it you have to blow into its ass.

The Evil Dead movie posters and action figures in my laundry room. I think laundry is an evil chore so it fits nicely with my mood. The action figures are in there to keep me in line. If only they would help out with the ironing every once and awhile...

My boyfriend's ant farm (he's 35 years old...). Unfortunately it has no ants in it at the moment because they seem to just die or escape, but it does add an interesting structural element to a top-of-bookcase vignette!

Haha...I love reading about all the weird things in people's homes! These are the things that make a house a home in my opinion! :)

The weirdest things in my house used to be my pet rats, but they all passed a couple years ago.

I don't have anything that weird anymore...I still have a few things from the Spiderman collection I had started in my earlier 20s...A girl in her 20s with Spiderman paraphernalia was considered weird by some, so I ended up giving most of it (comics, sheets/blankets, pez dispensers, etc) to my friend's 8 year old son. I held on to my Spiderman mug and paperweight from Universal Studios, and I got a Spiderman Mr. Potato Head in my stocking a couple Christmases ago.

My husband's cousin gave us a painting she did that I had fallen in love with...It's a cartoon depiction of ketchup v.s. mustard- a large angry red blob towering over a small scared yellow blob. It's the best piece of art I've ever seen and probably slightly weird.

We also have our dog's Doggie Obedience certificate framed and hanging under our university degrees.

An original oil painting of Tom Selleck circa Magnum PI executed by the previous owner of the house. We wrote it into our offer and it hangs proudly near the fireplace.

Well I don't know that it's strange but I have a little ceramic Christmas sleigh with a little plastic Santa (like the kind you'd find on a cupcake back in the day) wedged into the seat that I keep out and prominently display all year round. My crafty Grandma married these two when I was a little girl and it's my "grab in a fire item":)

I have an awesome photograph in my bathroom that shows a side profile of a womans pubic hair and a tiny little dude with a mower "mowing" it. The angle that it was taken at makes it hard to tell what it is. Some people notice what it really is and some don't. I love their surprise.

I have a bunny riding a rooster.

We need to post pictures of our weirdest items!

I have a taxidermy blowfish hanging from a hook on the window frame above my kitchen sink. Bought him at a flea market at a table covered in new age crystals and stuff. I call him my little voodoo blowfish. :)

I have a set of (very short) mounted bull horns I use as a leash holder by the deck door. Bought them at a flea market and love them! My husband could not understand why someone would even have a set of horns that short (6 inches each) professionally mounted. Thank goodness they did because a 6 foot set would not fit by the door!!

I second @DCGabri's comment... please link to photos if possible :) I am having a BLAST reading everyone's comments, I can't even make a short list of favorites... you all rock.

I have a glass jar filled with cats' whiskers, a vase filled only with dimes I find on the ground, and an old Salton bum warmer on the back of my toilet.

I LOVE all these comments. Makes me want you ALL as friends!

I have a framed, handpainted picture on a piece of leather of a jaguar eating a human heart, which was a gift from the place we stayed on our honeymoon and I love it.

Weirder may be the very strange, handmade, glass-topped table with multicolored lizard legs (complete with clawed lizard feet), and pink fabric painted with a multi-colored lizard stretched under the glass. My husband's family friends are artists and he apparently got the table by commenting that it was cool at the artists' house, and they immediately gave it to him. Neither of us has any clue what to do with it now, but he can't part with it either.

I have plastic lawn flamingos hanging on the wall behind my TV. Also a statue of our Lady of Guadalupe with the abominable snowmonster from "Rudolph" perched on the crescent moon she's standing on. They look so cute together.

Okay, now I'm inspired to drag out all my weird stuff I've stuffed into boxes and put them on display. The weirdest thing I have is a pitcher full of beer bottle caps that we're going to do something with "someday." Maybe the weird Buddha-inspired heads in shadowboxes in my powder room?

Haha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps such pet mementos. I have a tiny box with a few teeth from when my cats were kittens, some whiskers, and feathers belonging to my first parakeet and my old cockatiel. Also, a baby alligator head from Florida, a silver glittery foam skull, and a small statue of a bulldog lifting his leg to pee.

A bomb.

Yes, a bomb. When my husband got out of the Navy he visited a military surplus store where they had a WW2-era, 250 pound practice bomb. So he bought it. It's painted bright blue to designate it's not a live bomb (usually they were filled with sand or water). When I told my coworkers about it at my last job it earned me the nickname "Sleeper Cell."

I also have a cough drop tin with my cats' shedded whiskers in it. And I have a crested gecko named Brian. Weird enough for ya? LOL
