Treasures

Was it the best cornbread? (I bet it was, and that's a super awesome thing to have found)

I'd like to see a pic of this uranium dish.  I've been reading about these things and I can't see the appeal of it.  There must be better ways to make green dishes than making them radioactive.

The amount of uranium is apparently really low. I mean, I wouldn't want to eat off it but as a display piece in a cabinet it could look kind of pretty. No one is complaining about marble, travertine or granite floors and benchtops and they pose low level radiation risks too.

Museum guard in St. Petersburg shouted at me for sitting on the marble floor, told me I won't be able to have babies if I sit on it. Hah! Proved him wrong!

You should go back to the Hermitage (or where ever it was) find that guy and wave your baby in his face shouting "Hey, cука, what do you think of this then?!?" 

They appreciate that sort of shit in Russia.  Just make sure you roll your "r"s a lot and look suitably angry about everything.

It was really good, and it reminded me of my grandma so that made it even better.

Decades ago I played a game of Dungeons and Dragons with some of my friends and I named my characters Strom Thurmond who was a wizard and Elfy mcElfington who was an elven ranger.

A few years later I came across the dungeon master bitching and moaning on some forum about my stupid names.  One of the replies to that thread was someone saying that someone(me) stupid enough to name characters that should not be allowed to breed.

Every time I have a new kid I make sure to post to that thread to let them know how I'm making the human race stupider.

It was a police museum. I don't think I'd ever find it again.

Treasure or not treasure? I found two of my grandma's duck hunt controllers.

TREASURE! I remember playing Duck Hunt with the light gun pressed right up against the TV screen. I can't imagine being as relaxed about that with my kids and my TV as my parents were. But then, those old CRT TV's had super thick glass.

I think you know what answer you'll get for that.  Considering this forum is mainly middle aged geeks.

I also found the Duck Hunt game, and another Nintendo console in a freaking drawer I haven't looked in before. So far I think I've found 5 different Nintendo consoles, some of the were the original ones, and a couple were SNES. I found the little Duck Hunt booklet that came with the game. I also found something my great aunt copied, maybe from Nintendo Power, but idk, it is the instructions for a Mario game called Island 3, I think.

I think people collect that NES stuff these days.
