Gimme' Your (Pearls Of) Love!

All right, so… Blood Waters Of Dr. Z… Pearl gives and then withdraws her love, which canonically consists of:

  • 1 staple remover
  • 1 pawnshop receipt for a 10-gauge shotgun
  • 1 bottle of Fleischmann’s Lemon-Flavored Gin
  • 12 hotpads
  • 1 Alternator

Though it’s now lost to time (due to the demise of Club MST3k) I’m shamelessly revamping one of my fave contributions there. In honor of the month, please… :notes: Gimme’ your love stuff!! :notes: For example, mine would be:

  • 1 Swivel Knife (by Griffold™ - mandatory tool for the collage-ist on the go)
  • 1 Kitty Bookmark (fr. the legendary Twice Sold Tales bookstore in Seattle)
  • 1 Bar of Ritter Sport Whole Hazelnut Chocolate (either dark or milk)
  • 12 1960s Impulse Jazz LPs
  • 1 set of sparkly blue-and-silver handle fringe from my 1970s Schwinn™

(lettin’ the pride of Newark, N.J. march us ALL outta’ this thread!)

Some of you seem determined to live out Shakespeare’s admonition about loving not wisely, but too well. :eyes:
