Whats the oddest, neatest, coolest item you carry.

[Poncho65]

They must love you at the airport! 

Def

Never have flown

I would love to some day but just haven't ever

Plus this is 1 of my work sets I do have a shinier/newer bullet lighter as well that I got on the bay of E some years back but I try and go through security checkpoints with as little in my as possible Less chance of getting a full cavity body search

Thats a neat little lighter.  I'm pretty sure it would excite TSA and those at federal buildings. 

[Grant Lamontagne]

You've never flown anywhere?   Wow.

I can't even count the number of times I've been on an airplane, including once where I actually did fly the plane.

Def

[G-Dizzle]

I have never flown either!! That will change soon though

[WoodsDuck]

I'm another one in the no-fly club. Partially because I haven't really needed to, and partially because I hate everything about it.

[MadPlumbarian]

The Mrs hasn't flown either, nor the little guy, but I've flown many times and the older kid flew once, well once out and then back, so is that once round trip or twice?

I haven't flown for years, partly due to the way you are treated in airports. I will fly if I have to, but prefer to not be treated like a criminal. When I went on the cruise last year, I specifically chose a voyage which avoided flying out or back for this reason. Flying isn't a pleasant experience anymore. I know it's all meant to make me feel safe, but it just makes me feel humiliated.

Yes we needn't excite that lot any more than they already are

I whole heartedly agree.  I have flown on several occasions and would again if the need arose.   

[Grant Lamontagne]

I couldn't agree more.  I hate being treated like a potential terrorist too, and if there was an alternative I would take that.  But, sometimes there just isn't a way around it.

I have a 1.5 inch circular brass keytag with the number 035 on it on my keys.  It's from the key system at the Resort I worked at in Texas.  35 was my number on my Varsity Football team and has been an important number to me for a long time, and they keytag reminds me of that resort and I have a lot of memories from there.  It will always be a happy place for me to go to in my head, strange as that sounds.

This is exactly what this thread is about.  We don't have to understand why, its interesting non the less,  at least to me. 

I've seen some neat things people carry.  I don't always have the opportunity to ask why they carry such items.  This was a way to be nosy, at the same time hear some interesting stories.

Here's a picture of it.  I always liked how the really worn ones looked on the shift keys at work, and the more worn this one gets the more I like it.  It was a spare when I got it, brand new in the box. 

[Aloha]

Very neat.  Thanks for snapping a picture.

That looks really cool!  Something like that will wear beautifully and only get better with age too!

Exactly!  It's ideal for me, I don't like a bulky keychain but having a little token on it appeals to me.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Is it numbered on the other side or blank?

Def

[matzesu]

Usually, I carry a tiny Linux Handheld whit mee, only 7000 or so people on the whole world do own..
this means it's rarer than a Bugatti Vrenron (sorry for missspelling its name, I drive myself a Fiat Doblo, so I ditnt know how this unpractical Car is getting spelled.. )

Openpandora, whit a TI OMAP 3 Soc; 600 mhz Singlecore 256mb RAM and it's plays Games up to DS and Playstation 1 , also ports from Doom up to Return to Castle Wolfenstein , Quake 3 and Jedi Knight 3
Its the Size of an Nintendo DS

[Grant Lamontagne]

That is pretty cool!

Def

[Mercury]

Is it numbered on the other side or blank?

Def

It's blank on the opposite side.  The numbers are struck, so I think having it two sided wouldn't work.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Yeah, that makes sense.

Still cool though!

Remind me of Mitch Hedberg:

I'd say this is neat, cool, and interesting.

And it's plays Tetris

Well I am resseructing the thread because I cannot find my ticket stub I carried for so long  .  I changed out wallets and thought I put it in the new one but just today as I was removing receipts I didn't see the stub. 

I have however been carrying this crystal in the leather sheath with me for a while now.  A friend gave it to me ( she's really into crystals and such ) so I decided to carry it.  I like green so it was perfect.

I was a locksmith for many decades. My original employer and mentor carried a " worry stone " of very similar colors. He was a ninth generation locksmith. It was left to his child when he passed. I was told it was made by sea water . The family passes them on them to younger generations, creating a sense of connection from previous family members.
