Try to identify the objects on my piano
The one who correctly indentifies the most objects gets a 10-second composition written in their honor!

1. Let's see...
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 10:14 PM by Arkana
The Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo, a bust of Beethoven, a Simpsons 8 Ball, a lighthouse figurine, a Simpsons domino set and a remote control.

You also appear to have a die-cast fire truck, the Energizer Bunny and what looks like a stuffed orca (beanie baby perchance?).

10. I'll never sell any of these
Though I'll have to remove most of them except for the Beethoven to make room for the music sheet holder I'm waiting for.

14. You got almost all of them
You were the first to correctly identify the Mach 5. The object on the speaker is a large chunk of quartz, with all kinds of weird inks applied to it by my older brother when he was a kid.
