A Lego Viking guy. In the past, I’ve had Lego Darth Vader and a Pope John Paul II medal (am not Catholic, but what the hey). ---

Same for the last 20 years: Craftsman 4-way wrench, and a 1948 Plumb Tool Driver, both from one grandpa. Unique bottle-opener from my other grandpa’s bar. My real dog-tag featuring my name, blood-type, AND SS#! And 3 Keys. ---

A little folding velcro case that holds two USB sticks. ---

I have a small digital photo album, a couple of duck-themed fobs (leftover from my Preppy Handbook days - just call me Muffy), and one fob with each of my Scottish clans’ crests. ---

I used to have various knick knacks and whatnot, but they got to be too bulky. I cut it down to the key fob for my car, and an Ocean’s 13 promotional key chain thing in the shape of a poker chip. Plus the keys, of course. ---

Clip to hold it on my belt loop. Brooklyn Brewery bottle opener. Truck lock fob. A dime from my last night out with my high school friends. We started with, I dunno, several hundred dollars and ended with four dimes, one for each of us. I’ve been carrying that for (HOLY CRAP) 20 years. ---

A small rubber comic-style chicken, a bottle opener shaped like a beer bottle and a picture of my wife on Top Thrill Dragster looking not entirely happy about it. ---

Various swipe tags (library, Stop n Shop, Shaws, Jiffy Lube. . .) and my favorite a mini carabiner. I used to have a lot more but a former boyfriend told me the weight was bad for my ignition.:eek:😕 ---

A couple of discount cards, my library card, and an RSA token. I used to have an Abita bottle opener, but the paranoid in me thought it might be incriminating evidence. ---

A mini-Leatherman, a micro light, and a Lego Squidward Tentacles. ---

A small hook, my first cat’s final rabies vaccination tag, and my gym scan tag… and 13 keys. (Never had the weight of the keys wreck an ignition, incidentally.) ---

Oooh, I also forgot that I have a picture of my dog, Zen, on there, as well as a yin and yang symbol with my name on it. And **Student Driver** , what a lovely tribute to your cat. ---

I take my wedding band off a lot to work with machines or power tools. After losing it a couple of times early on, I got a small hook/latch thingie - the kind you find on the end of a dog leash - and added it to my key ring. Any time my wedding band comes off, it goes on that hook/latch thingie. Key ring also includes a small swiss army knife, and a bottle opener. ---

I have an electronic key that delivers range balls at my golf course. It had 80 buckets worth when I bought it. I don’t know how many are left. ---

Flash drive and a bottle opener. I added the bottle opener after one of my friends broke a key trying to open a bottle for me. Luckily it was only a bike lock key and he had a spare. ---

Just the car remote, I have plenty of keys already. ---

Unsurprisingly, a little cartoon picture of a hamster. ---
