Wally's Oddity Museum

Gentle reader, did you know Pine Lake was once the home of Wally's Oddity Museum?

I can just imagine the things that must have been inside that modest building: palaces made from thousands of toothpicks, a flea circuses, blowguns, a two-headed calf in a giant bell jar, a fang from a saber-toothed tiger, armadillo shells, scrimshaw pipes, messages in bottles, ships in bottles, ancient scrolls, pressed flowers, insects preserved in amber, a page from a Gutenberg Bible, a piece of a shield from ancient Mesopotamia, every single Crackerjack prize from 1905 through 1940, Mark Twain's beard comb, Kaiser's Wilhelm's. monocle, original artwork for the Yellow Kid, a Babe Ruth baseball card, a Garfield For President election button, the world's second largest ball of aluminum foil, a stuffed alligator, a shrunken head, an Ace of Spades playing card with a bullet hole in it, stalactites, patent medicine bottles, giant cockroaches in a cage,  the broken hilt of a Conquistador's sword, a shoe from Paul Revere's horse, an ancient casket from Transylvania, photos of bigfoot and Nessie, the pelt of a tiger, didgeridoos and other unusual musical instruments, keys that fit nothing, the skeleton of a chihuahua, a revolver carved from a bar of soap.

In other words, it would have been a natural for me. I sure wish I had seen it!
