The Mementonian Memuseum
Hi there! My name's Lenny, and this is my Mementonian
Memuseum. I like mementos. At first I just started
collecting a few of them, but over time my memento
collection gathered memomentum until I built a whole
memuseum of mementos. Now you're just memoments
away from making great mememories in the best memento
collection in town (that Mementoarium across town doesn't
have enough mememorabilia to earn a footnote in my
mememoirs).
Yes! I do like to make up words! Almost as much as I like
mementos. Speaking of mementos, would you like to see some of mine? Here's one:
Notes
This is a picture of a You Better Belize It! shirt. I don't actually own the shirt, but I liked it enough to take a picture. |
This is a guitar that has been signed by every memember of the Twilight Rolling Stones roller derby team. I actually thought I was going to see the Rolling Stones band, so I brought a guitar instead of a shoe. That radio station didn't do a very good job of explaining their prize tickets, that's for sure. | ||
I found all four of these earrings. The one at top came from the beach and I think is real gold. I'm not sure about the others. The big one might have actually come from a pirate outfit I wore one Halloween. My ears aren't pierced, but this one is clip-on so I could wear it, but I don't because it hurts. I'm hoping one day I'll either find a match for the earrings and then I'll have a full set, or maybe I'll just sell them for the gold. | This is a backstage pass from a band I like. Actually, it's not a real backstage pass, it's a fake pass that they sell you if you join their fan club. I'm number 433 in the fan club, see? | ||
This little guy is a baby red dragon figurine that I've had since I was twelve and used to play Dungeons and Dragons with my classmate Gabe and some of his friends. We used to have swordfights with broomsticks when we got bored. | This is a packet of super-cute postcards showing monkeys doing silly things. The one on top is a monkey wearing galoshes and an umbrella to the beach. I think there are some even better ones on the inside that I saw at the store where I got these, but I don't want to open the packet and ruin the memento value and now I've forgotten. | ||
I picked up this business card from a metalworking shop in Iowa. It's a great memento because it reminds me of some place I actually was once. Even better, if I ever decide to buy any of his stuff, the card tells me how to get in touch with the shop. I'm a little worried though because it was right down by the river, and there have been a couple of major floods in the last couple of decades since I was there. | These are all letter openers. Broken letter openers to be exact. They used to work, but I dropped the stone one, and the wood one cracked when I opened a letter with it a little too firmly. Still, this is the only collection of exclusively broken letter openers in the entire world! | ||

TEXT | I got this pin during the 2003/2004 season when I talked some of my co-workers into joining a bowling league. Scott pulled his back, and Lacy hurt her arm, so our team was split up and I got shifted into another team right at the end when one of their guys took a new job and had to move, and we won! |
