Well, that depends on what you consider strange...
I have several parts to costumes, a bamboo parasol, a Chinese fan, a sandlewood fan, a whip, a flogger, handcuffs, and a stuffed dog the size of a small child.
Do those count?

Most of my strange stuff are of the "Disgusting and Unsanitary" category.
-My lint collection
-Some really old candy canes. Gummy but still edible.
-Lots of expired snacks. That I still eat. Everybody loves snacks.
-A giant cornflake, semi-moist and older than that Mystery Meat. Probably growing mold. Or maybe that's the frosted stuff.
Etc, etc.
You're probably retching right now, so I'll just stop. *runs away from the guys at the Sanitation Department*

Indeed!
My girlfriend, Britt, also has various whips and bonds around her house..
She's going to kill me.  |

I'm going to kill you.
But you didn't seem to mention that dead sheep you keep around the house "just in case", Brendan.

Oh. Ha. Dead sheep. Funny.
It'd be even funnier if it were true, like your "thing" for handcuffs...

Oh, shush, Pinch-Boy.
In all seriousness, I do have a lot of weird stuff sitting about the house. Not that kind of weird, though.
A penguin crossing sign, a stuffed hedgehog dog toy that makes the coolest noise ever, a small "The Art of Bellydancing" kit that we bought as a joke at Walden's, a marching band uniform, a vibrating neck pillow...
The list probably could go on.

And, along the same lines of the Shakespeare action figure, Brendan got me a cute Edgar Allan Poe action figure. ^.^ It's adorable. He comes with a raven and everything.
By the way, my Edgar could so beat up your William, Brendan.

Of course he could. After spending that much on the Edgar figure, I won't let you break it!

Not really the strangeness of the item but more of the location.
I have a cup on my desk to hold pencils, pens, etc. in it and one day my lil' bor randomly starts bringing me home sporks... so yeah. I have about 5 of them assorted in my cup on desk next to my chopsticks. O.o

Well, I have one of those woven wine hugger caddy things *whatever the hell those things are* which is odd for the simple reason that I don't drink wine. Ever. I've got a plastic baggie of catnip under the loaf of bread in my bread box... no idea why. A datebook from about EIGHT years ago... why the hell haven't I thrown that out yet? We'll just skip over some of the things lying around in my bedroom...

Ummm... the following spring to mind:
- a large ceramic cookie jar in the shape of a sheep
- a miniature London telephone booth, light goes on when you open the door and everything
- ceramic apples and tomatos with facial expressions and legs and arms

- A pair of champagne flutes that don't have bottoms.
- A vase that looks like an iguana.
- A ship's steering wheel.
- An Ewok.
- A medieval suit of armour.
- Chinese lanterns.
