Artifacts of Note III and a brief report from the front lines.

Today a cornucopia of artifacts were discovered while cleaning up the Master Bedroom and the Kitchen.

Artifacts of Note #07232010-001 & #07232010-002

[LEFT] - March 9th 1992 - Price: $3.95
(18 Years, 4 Months, 14 Days, 1 Hour, 11 Minutes, and 21 Seconds old)
[RIGHT] - February 14th 1994 - Price: $4.95
(16 Years, 5 Months, 9 Days, 1 Hour, 11 Minutes, and 21 Seconds old)

Here's a historical perspective on how old these magazines are:

Any guesses on who the ice skater that's about to get her knee professionally massaged by a baton at the U.S. figure skating championships in Detroit?

I'll give you a hint..
It starts with Nan- and ends with -cy Kerrigan.

If you still have no clue what I'm talking about, it's probably just further proof of the age of these magazines.

You might also want to glance back up there and take note on how un-shopped and incredibly fat those women are on the cover.

Awww.. Omega-3 Gummy fishies!! According to the bottle it's a BRAIN BOOSTER with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. I'm thinking it could probably use a little extra flavor because they taste like ass. Oh, and they expire May 2011 if you're wondering.

I found these in a CD case stashed in one of the kitchen drawers. Finding money is always awesome, and finding old-school $10 dollar bills from 1995 is even more so. The two tickets to the right are for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire that took place August 25th - October 14th 2001 @ the Nut Tree in Vacaville, California. Now as soon as I figure out where the hell I parked my damn time machine me and one lucky person can travel to 2001 with our period accurate $10 dollars and get pleasured!

Here's a closer look:


This last piece was uncovered in the same drawer as the money and tickets, but I am still unsure as to what it was used for.

According to the text at the top of the device this might have been some kind of crude shocking device. The size of the Velcro straps do indicate that it was probably meant to be worn around the neck of a small dog or other household pet.

It's amazing how in just under 10 years we've been able to abolish such barbaric concepts as torture, preemptive war and Britney Spears.

On top of all the found treasures today was another successful mark on the map towards the renovation phase.

The master bedroom has been cleared of all debris.
