I was unpacking boxes from school and unearthed these two treasures: My patriotic bass I found in a Radioshack for $6. I'm not a fan of fishing or patriotism, but when the two came together something beautiful happened.  This sea captain was picked up at a yard sale for $1. I included a US quarter for scale because the thing is massive. It may be a massive mug or a pitcher (notice the whale handle), but I'm not certain, the seller couldn't provide any back story for it. It appears to be a custom job. So goons, what obnoxious, tacky stuff have you collected?

I don't have a camera for a real pic of them in action, but I bought these tacky shoes when I worked at the smut hut for $5 bucks. I use them as bookends, since there is no way in hell I would/could wear them.

There's not enough space to walk around the garage anymore. As soon as he brings back my drat camera from vacation I'll have to get some pictures for this thread. And loving that captain mug or whatever that is.

 I have his tiger statue that's almost 2 feet tall. It's made of plastic and probably sat in some old lady's backyard forever. One of my friends got it for me, haha. I love it, but it's pretty drat tacky.

I was wandering around in a Mills Fleet Farm looking for some tools for work and found this baby, along with 3 other variations sitting on some middle of nowhere clearance shelf for like 10 bucks a piece. I decided this was the freakiest of the 4 and promptly bought it as a gift for my roommate. He was quite impressed.

Meet my friend Little Black Pete. I found him in a Salvation Army store here in Los Angeles. He's the mantlepiece of a house made of beer bottles in the mountains in La Tuna Canyon right now, if any of you Angelenos know where that is.

I think those captains mugs are Toby jugs, I remember because my great grandad owned a whole wall full of them. As far as tacky stuff I own, I have a copy of Robert Burns poetry, fourth edition, it has gold trims and is hard back, was published in the lated 1800's. I wish I could find a picture but can't find anything online.

 I got it at Target for like a dollar. How could I pass that up? EDIT: Oh! I found more. These are candle holders, I think.  EDIT2: Okay, last edit, I swear. I just keep finding tacky poo poo all over my room. I actually spotted this in the candle holder picture in the backround. It's a cactus shaped candle. I will never burn it.

This doesn't belong to me, but my husband. I present his pride and joy, the surfing monkey: Click here for the full 1280x960 image. My husband got it when he was a kid from his mom's boss. A couple of years ago, it fell off a shelf while we were cleaning, bounced off the couch, and broke into a bunch of pieces on the floor. My husband was crushed, and so I JB Welded him back together again. I never could find that last ear piece though...  Click here for the full 1280x960 image. Oh well, at least we still have our surfing monkey.

When I visited the southernmost state of my country, I made sure to buy nice a bullfoot bottle as a memento, like this: Unfortunately, I left it at my mother-in-law's. Next weekend or so when we come visit her I'll take a decent picture of it, instead of grabbing a lovely one from GIS. The dogs are uncannily afraid of it. They smell this hideous thing with curious eyes and then run away cowering in fear. My wife wanted to beat me over the head with it when I brought it home and everyone say it's the ugliest thing ever. They may say what they will, I think this is awesome.

I picked up this awesome piece of framed 'art' at my local D.A.V. thrift store. I think the best part about it is that it obviously came out of some kind of periodical and somebody thought "oh my god, I have to cut this out and frame it."

 A fish pitcher would be bad enough.... but I wonder who decided to make a smaller fish coming out of the big fish's mouth. I found this gem in the attic of the house I'm renting.

Young cousin bought me this Click here for the full 563x942 image. Boyfriend bought me these... I love piggies   Click here for the full 1170x628 image. Brother bought me this  Click here for the full 628x717 image. And I bought myself this  Click here for the full 404x942 image. I guess having a 6 foot piece of cardboard in your room can be considered tacky.

We've got a ~3 foot tall ceramic parrot named Joe on top of our fridge. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow and post it here. My girlfriend actually found someone on her cross country trip a few years ago that had one identical to ours, but with a different paint scheme.
