There have been threads that ask other dopers to do specific stuff, such as “Post a picture of your handwriting” or “Post a picture of your feet” This thread is the non-specific version. Your reply to this thread should take one of the following forms… A set of links to pictures of what another poster asked for (take your pick). A request for what you want other posters to do. A general reply (you may want to point out how stupid this idea is or anything else) So, for example, you might get three posts “post the contents of your fridge”, “post a full-frame close-up of one of your eyes”, “post a screenshot from a particularly interesting bit of your favourite computer game” (most games give you the ability to take screenshots. Usually with the f10 or f12 keys) And you’ll also get post where people have done those things (hopefully more than three. I don’t want this to be a thread full of just requests) \*\* Important: Please check your pictures (if pictures are what have been asked for) for anything illegal or anything you don’t want to be publicly known/available\*\* I’ll start it off with a request: Post a photo of your most coveted piece of technology. ---

Hmm… and then what? You call round while we’re out and liberate it from our house? ---

> [@mutantmoose](#): > > Hmm… and then what? You call round while we’re out and liberate it from our house? Damn. You got me. I travel 3.5 thousand miles and steal your stuff. No. Anyone likely to steal your stuff will probably not know what you have before they make the decision to steal. If a lot of people know what you have via this thread there is not likely to be a person amongst them who will want to steal your stuff. ---

> [@](#): > > No. Anyone likely to steal your stuff will probably not know what you have before they make the decision to steal. Yeah right. I think all your posts and the last 7 years you’ve been here have all just been a clever ploy leading up to this thread, to get us to drop our guard. Anyway, I’m off to dgrdfd’s house. ---

The [oldest book](http://www.flickr.com/photos/33866634@N02/3396421130/sizes/o/) in the house (I think) [Here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/33866634@N02/3395609087/in/photostream/), you see that it was printed in 1787 and, that it is in pretty hard shape.

I keep a lot of scissors because I always seem to lose them just when I need them most. 😉 SO I keep a few extras on hand! [QUOTE=longPath] nyctea scandiaca, Do you have arthritis? Your middle finger curves like some of mine. [/QUOTE] Actually no. Both my middle fingers curve like that, and always have. I have no idea why. ---

> [@longPath](#): > > I’d like see pictures of your worst clutter. (I have no doubt I could win a prize with mine) [Here are my two worst areas of clutter at the moment.](http://brookenelson.com/clutter.jpg) The first is part of an ongoing project to organize all my family photos and other stuff, so I have various binders and envelopes, etc. It was worse a month ago, but I cleaned it up. The other one is a corner with boxes I still have not unpacked since my last move. Not too bad, but still much more cluttered than I would like. Next - how about a photo of your bed in its current state, or if it’s too messy you can make it if you’d like. Let’s see where you sleep! ---
