Carlton? Maurice? Are these squirrels too? I do not know every single obscure detail of the show. Not every line. A mean squirrel took my tiny hot dog.

Well now that_ that's_ sorted out:

1.Is it odd that someone as rigid as Sheldon would have whimsical décor? 2.Name one thing that you collect. 3.Name one whimsical or quirky décor item you have.

1. Sheldon does not have whimsical décor.

Everything is in its perfect place for a logical reason.

1. I will name it Carlton

2. That would be Maurice

We used to have squirrels in our back yard: Sam and Janet Evening, but they moved on.

First- THIS is the Tim I fell in love with on the IMDb board.

Next:

1.But they are perfectly-placed whimsical things. Instead of a plain Kleenex box he has a Rubik's cube tissue holder. Instead of something dull like a fake ficus tree in the corner, he has a strand of DNA.

2 and 3 and Squirrels. When a pile of clean underwear sits unfolded on the sofa for too long, I start calling it Kevin.

It's all a matter of framing.

Declare the sofa as the official storage space for underwear. One side for clean, one side for the "refreshingly personal". Make it known that it is better for underwear to not be folded. This allows the gotchies to breath and provides 17% more comfort to the wearer.

Option 2: Try this phrase: "You don't like it? You put 'em away."

When my family asks me why there's framed underwear on the wall, I'll refer them to you.

This discussion reminds of a former co-worker.

Most of us just get by with some pictures on the walls and/or a plant or two. But, this guy took whimsy to a new level. He had a full-size (in dance pose) "Blues Brothers" statue in his office. And, let’s not forget that when it comes to describing Jake or Elwood, homunculus is not a word that comes to mind.

Blues Brothers

I guess what to do about it was unchartered territory for upper management...so they just let it be. Kind of like Raj and his Big Desk.

OK...THAT is a story that needs to be told.

Notorious B.I.G.’s Plastic Crown Sells for $595,000 at Auction (Rolling Stone 9/16/20)

"A plastic crown worn by the Notorious B.I.G. during the rapper’s “King of New York” photoshoot — originally purchased for $6 before the March 1997 photograph was taken — sold for $595,000 Tuesday night at Sotheby’s first-ever auction dedicated to hip-hop memorabilia."

When it comes to purchases, think this would definitely register near the top on the whimsical scale.

Sheldon had that full-size statue thing he bought, despite Amy's objection. But I don't remember if it was Batman, or Spiderman, or someone else.

Leonard, of course, had the Storm Trooper.
