What's on your refrigerator?

Nothing. I never got into that.

Let’s see…I got a whole bunch of Dilbert magnets, a few promotional magnets from local pizza places and mail order places (amazon, dvdexpress, stuff like that) and a magnet-backed grocery-list notepad from netgrocer. On top is my bread machine, because I don’t have a cabinet big enough to hold it.

I’ve got a cute little phone magnet.
When I push the reciever it goes “ring ring” just like the real thing. So when I get a person who won’t hang up I push it and then tell them “that’s probably my boss on the business line- gotta run” and I can hang up without further discussion.

Magnets:
[li]4 snarling, winged dog gargoyles[/li][li]4 crouching goblin gargoyles[/li][li]old ads, including “Fairy Soap”, “Frog in Your Throat Cough Drops”, and “Take a drink - WHIZ - a better beverage”.[/li][li]old SF novel and mag covers[/li][li]2 Dalis, 1 Matisse and 1 Picasso[/li]

[li]1993 Dave Barry column containing the description of a Japanese cartoon character: Mr. Stinky, a talking piece of poo.[/li][li]local Chinese restaurant take-out menu[/li][li]1 Dilbert cartoon[/li][li]reminder for my next dentist appointment[/li]other assorted stuff

I dont’ have a fridge and i don’t want to look at my mom’s, so I’ll take the closest thing I have to it: my locker.

  • Speed Racer magnet
  • Group photo of all my friends taken at junior prom
  • A felt finger puppet from my best friend’s and my trailer-park adaptation of “Hamlet” (done in finger puppet style on video for English class)
  • Computer printout magnet with a picture of country singer Drew Womack, lead singer of Sons of the Desert, on it
  • Photo of Greg Moore
  • 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup schedule
  • Permission slip to read a banned book for English class

Some of my niece’s artwork (looks like a palette test), a Far Side cartoon given to me by my father that was in obvious reference to my ex (three toy poodles discussing a point in the living room of a house where you can see a grandmotherly type’s back in the kitchen washing dishes; caption, “Well yes, that is the downside, Fluffy. When we kill her the pampering will end.”) and a collection of postcards sent to me by a couple of friends who travelled the world a bit, dominated by one from their sojourn in London - its photo is of a punkette dressed in black leather with a white t, a spiky multi-colored buzz cut and a large ring in her nose as well as several smaller ones in her ear. It was mailed to me in 1981.

Three magnets shaped like various foodstuffs and complete with little spinning parts to amuse the toddler folk.

Two comics that are really only amusing to myself:
(1) An old Rhymes with Orange strip that has three guys in Warsaw sitting around a radio on a barrel with the news playing. “In light of recent scandals, the President again turns to the polls for advice.” Three guys saying “Cheaper vodka! Shorter winters! More American television!” “I don’t understand, he always asks but he never listens.” (Yeah, I’m Polish)
(2) An old Agnes strip with her writing in her diary, “We planted a shrub this summer. We watered it and nutured it and watched it die a slow agonizing death. Landscaping can be a real crapshoot.” (Yeah, I work for a landscaping construction firm)

Magnet with a description and photo of the Asian Longhorned beetle and the number of the USDA to call in case you find one (Save trees!)

Old UPS delivery ticket for a package I received about a month ago.

There are a whole bunch of magnetic letters of the alphabet on my fridge. So has it been since I was a kid, so shall it always be.

I also have an old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon where Spaceman Spiff is shot down because he can’t boot up his ship’s death ray blaster in time. Reminds me of a friend.

Let’s see if I remember…

My husband has relinquished the fridge to be my sort of “grown up” locker…because I like to do collages and clip things from magazines. Besides, I look at it while I cook. what’s there now?

The entire left side of my refrigerator, and almost half of the front, is covered with magnets. Most of them are magnets from about 30 different states that I visited (and able to find magnets for).

I also have the usual promotional and local store magnets, a Grateful Dead ticket in plexiglass, and a calendar so I can see how many days are left before Mauvaise comes to town!

Pout :frowning: I have a built-in fridge with has wooden inserts on the face to match the kitchen cabinets. I WANT some fun magnets!

My wife and I just moved into our first house. We haven’t unboxed the misc. junk that we’d collected on the front of the fridge at our old apartment.

Our realtor was nice enough to donate a side by side refrigerator as a housewarming gift. It was one his parents had in their old place and didn’t need in their new.

As a result, at present, the only thing on my refrigerator is a piece of one inch wide x two inch long masking take with the word “Remove” on it in Magic Marker. I like the irony. My wife says I have to scrape it off.
