Trash, treasure, none of the above? |
In the process of combing through everything I've owned in the last 25 years, I've come across many interesting items, and a lot of memories, and many things I'd forgotten I owned.
And at least one complete WTF headscratcher of an artifact.

I'll tell you what I'm talking about, Arnold. |
I found this in my closet.

Look, it's smiling. |
The box isn't a mystery. I know it's hard to tell the scale of it from the picture, but in person it's obviously a case to store cassette tapes. Hahahaha, yeah, cassette tapes. I honestly am not sure how many generations we currently are ahead of cassettes for music reproduction. Like, eight? Three hundred? Does vinyl count as a new medium because it came back? So confusing.
Anyway, the box isn't a mystery. But inside the box, I found this.
It's a pair of metal (aluminum?) tongs with serrated edges. There's a thin, sharply pointed rod attached to it. Overall it's maybe four or five inches long.
WTF is it?
My first thought was drug paraphernalia. So I showed it to my resident illegal substances expert, aka my spouse. He said he didn't recognize it and didn't know what it was. I tried Google image search and got nothing.
So I'm throwing it open to you.
Does it have something to do with drugs? Or cassette tapes? Or, I don't know, alien anal probes?
I'm kind of at a loss here.

Me. |
If you have intel on this thing, feel free to let me know. If this is something you want, I'm more than happy to let you have it. If I'm under a curse for having it in my possession, you know, that's intelligence I would appreciate having.
Otherwise it's going in the trash and good riddance. Because things I own but don't understand occupy a special place of repulsion for me.
Let me know, Drunkards. I'm looking forward to that shared wisdom of yours.
Peace out.
