An easy one this week, in honor of it being a holiday weekend, at least here in the States. I worked again on my basement yesterday and discovered the following items were in my possession:
--a toy cruise ship I had once found behind a wall in my closet
--a subway token
--Valentines I had gotten from grade school classmates
--the eye of a frog I dissected in high school.
So what's tucked away in the hidden storage areas of your living quarters?
The middle bench seat of a Toyota Van we haven't owned for years.
A now mildewed mattress-box springs set we thought we might need again someday.
A collection of warped 33 1/3 LPs.
I don't have a basement, so... ;-P
But I have lots of weird things tucked up at my "mess corner"... Old toys, colorful scraps of fabric, paints and drawing stuff, unfinished paintings... Material for making candles, old beads, bric a brac in general...

--a holy card of Mary I picked up in Siena, Italy with a long prayer which includes this request: "when we stay here for worshipping Your beloved image we often lack our fathers' passion, which was always the highest and the most resolutive moment of personal, familiar, and societal problems; on the threshold of the Twenty-First century do teach us going the way to faith serenely and discovering the secret of your fidelity to Allmighty's Project."

I didn't say it was MY DUNGEON.... It belongs to my landlord.
Hidden in various closets and drawers:
* an old Mac Performa
* computer disks from an even older Commodore 64
* several episodes of Star Trek:TNG on Columbia House videotapes
* a key from the car that was totalled by the firetruck. The key is bent in half, but I was still able to remove it from the steering wheel. And I walked from the scene of the accident. I thank my parents often for teaching me to wear a seat belt.
* many boxes of papers from grade school through college.
* a small white envelope containing my four wisdom teeth
