Toothpick Holders

i'm sure everyone has collected something at some point in their life. My mom collects those ridiculous spoons, why would you collect those i don't know. All they're good for is tea and maybe an infant could use them eating. This one kid i knew collected scabs...yeah, pieces of coagulated blood. But not just any scab was good enough for his collection. He had to have big pieces and he kept them in ziplock bags...

i wasn't sure what i wanted to collect, scabs are just gross and spoons and snow globes are not manly enough. So i decided to collect toothpick holders.
Okay, i know what you're thinking. You're thinking those are shot glasses, not toothpick holders.Well maybe some of them were intended to hold booze and not toothpicks and i'll probably never put toothpicks in them, but one of them was labeled as a toothpick holder, because it was at a boyscout camp and they didn't want to promote alcohol by any means, pretty ridiculous...

My collection is pretty lame, i have about fifty shot...toothpick holders but there are only forty six in the picture because i have misplaced a couple of them. i acquired four them on the trip to L.A. Two from the LAX airport and the other two from the Phoenix Airport.
i like the second one from the right just because it has a dead dude in the glass, plus it has a recipe for a shot. Pretty sure i haven't seen that before, some collector i am.

There is my collection, nothing to brag about but at least i can say i have one. Now i just need to get some toothpicks, or booze...
