Guitar Playing Frog - I found this in a dollar store in college, and it has either sat on top of, or in front of, every TV I've owned in the 20 years since.
Crystal Glasses - My wife and I got 2 boxes of these from an old nun who attended my wife's church for a wedding present. We've never even opened the boxes, yet they've move with us to 6 different places. I'm sure we'll pass them onto another set of unsuspecting people when we get old. [update: Ahoda totally nailed this in the first round...lol]
So it’s been on my fridge for like 7 years now. I had always thought my old roommate John drew it. Then he moved a couple years ago and we cleaning up and packing, and I was like “aren’t you going to take your drawing!?” And he laughed and was like what are you serious? So it turns out the my even older roommate, who was a “manny,” the 6 year old kid he watched over was the one who drew it. My roommate John was offended that I thought he drew it lmao. Also for those of you looking for Easter Eggs you can notice a Los Angeles street sign magnet in the corner of the picture because Curtis specifically said that I couldn’t do a Hollywood-related picture so I decided to take a jab at him and still kinda do it anyway!

Hand Puppets:
My dad was a special ed teacher in Queens in the public school system for close to 40 years. I am pretty sure these hand puppets were used by him and his students to help with learning, probably in like the late 70s/80s. I don’t know for absolute certain though. I played with them a little when I was a kid. Recently I found them in an old bag in the back of my closet. I actually ended up throwing them out the day this tournament began. They’re super old and creepy and I did a quick Google search and found the exact ones, and they aren’t valuable, so. That’s the story behind the creepy hand puppets.
This is what that Homer is supposed to look like and what he does. Before I owned him he stood outside of Spencer's Gifts in the mall. Not really a karaoke machine but we would sing through him because you could hook a microphone to him.
If you need to continue to satisfy your voting/poll itch, come on over to FE's Favorite Song. We are down to the final four, and will crown the first champion by Wednesday night.
TBH, I only got the Zersch one right because I saw the BBQ shirt, and figured it had to be one of the Appalachian peeps, and TIB didn't submit stuff, so it was Zersch by default.
