I don't mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

You ever drive down a rural road, and out the window you suddenly come across an old shuttered up house? The kind of house with five cars parked on the front lawn in various states of disrepair? With overgrown bushes pushing into the peeling paint of the wooden siding alongside a giant novelty bigfoot that seems to stare at you as you zip by down the road? The one with the chain link fence that's torn in five places and yellowed trailer up on blocks? The one with a dog tied to a post, barking it's head off outside, so you know someone actually lives there?

I imagine these threads are like a window into the lives of the people in those houses. It's like they're living in a whole different society, with their weird quirks and vaguely unsettling rituals.

Funny this is pretty close to the truth when it comes to the things described in this thread.

Poop Knife - Bad diet, large BMโ€™s = financially poor diet = trailer Frog Tongs - trailers tend to have bad gaps in windows Etc
