mollusque, this is both a general 'things that might be found in one's junk drawer' and a pastiche of all the junk drawers I have loved before.

and by slug I mean both the bullet and the fake quarter. :D

Colleen, is this a generic or a specific drawer? Either way I'm glad to see that it contains a slug.

Why thank you, colleen. Now if only we could get them to transform back.... ;-)

reesetee, that is brilliance.

Excellent list!

I suspect marbles come from the same place into which lost socks disappear. Perhaps the socks transmogrify there and emerge as shiny little orbs....

Yes! Where do marbles come from? I never buy them, but they keep cropping up underfoot.
