I remember "Turd Burds" sold as souvenirs out west--yes, dried manure decorated with plastic eyes, beaks, and cowboy hats. I don't have one, though.

My brother and I had a record of a Lone Ranger episode that we loved. I don't know where it is now. Too bad.

Come to think of it, I got a mystery stuffed animal last year at the thrift store for fifteen cents. It looks like a bear, mostly--black fur with a hunched back and a plastic snout--but it has long, floppy, Labrador retriever ears. The ears are two different lengths, too, and I think they have little bells in them. Not a really strange purchase but surely one of the most nonsensical teddies ever.
