Analog watch but it does use a battery.

Mug type shave soap with a brush, it's a Burma Shave mug but the soap is no longer available so I use a different brand.

REAL paper books. I like having books on a bookshelf, that way I can show people exactly what I dirty my mind with.

Beam type torque wrench.

Charcoal grill.

A 1980s era Zenith CRT type TV. Mrs. Mad Scientist bought it long before we were married, and it still works great.

I insist on making chocolate cake with melted baking chocolate and would only resort to cake mix in extreme emergencies.

Cast iron pans. 25+ year old osterizer glass blender, don't want plastic and works great, after years of sauces, adult drinks etc, out is now making baby food.

Just learned that a 1 pint mason jar threads in for a poor mans Magic Ninja type blender.

Mmmmm Ticonderoga pencils....

In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:

I finally gave up on Levi's after about 30 years, and it was a troubling choice for me. They started using thinner and thinner denim. I was also getting tired of the back pocket corners and belt loops tearing. I really didn't want to give up on them.

Now my jeans come from Carhartt or LL Bean.

I used to wear the sears Roebuck work jeans for years. I don't know if they make them anymore.

Rooftop TV antenna, cast iron skillet, and not much else. I'm a certified, early-adopting technophile.

I have had this perpetual flip calendar on my desk for the last 14 years - I turn it daily and I look at it all the time to check the date. It sits on top of my 1970's era 10 key calculator that has survived 3-4 coffee spills - I just unplug and wait a few days and it dries out.

CVS has it. It's also what I use, because I really don't like gels or flavored crap. I tried rolling my own with baking soda, which worked but did some hardcore damage to the enamel on my teeth.

I have worn Converse All-Stars for 28 years. Past tense, unfortunately, since a month ago I went to buy new shoes and found them to be unavailable. Bought some Vans on clearance. Feel ashamed for that. I'd been wearing All-Stars since I was eight years old. Anything else feels heavy and clunky.

10mm or .40?

(Does anyone MAKE a 10mm 1911? I swear I've seen a .40 1911 before)

Dish of soap and a horsehair brush. You can keep your fancy shave gels / creams in a can.

I been using this clock radio since 1979.

Compass and protractor and long math. I love doing math on paper. It soothes me. And drawing geometry, mechanical drafting, with a pencil? That's my jam.

I have one of these:

And one of these:

Converse All-Stars. I've been wearing them since 1987. They are the only sneaker that doesn't make me get in-grown toenails.
