I once had one of those semi-perpetual motion toys -the kind that a ball hanging from a thread hits a set of balls also hanging from threads and the one in the opposite end gets expelled and returns to hit the set of balls again and again- I could watch it for hours and when it was still, kids loved to start the motion again and marveled but i tossed it away because sometimes the noise made by the small balls in motion was too distracting.
I'd love to sit it again in my desk if I could remember where it is now!

I had a Pink Panther whose legs and arms could be bent to assume any position I wanted, until my wife threw it away, possibly because it was a gift from an old dance partner. After 10 years, I still miss it.
I still have a dinosaur with a hidden button that opens and closes its mouth. It was one of my kids' toys when they were toddlers. I keep it hidden, and only take it out for visiting children or others that I trust not to react unfavorably when I threaten them with it.

Couple of cloth dragons, couple of solar dancing figuring, a Cam-Am motorcycle toy, couple of plants, couple squishy balls, a pessimists' mug, cub full of pens and pencils, box of Kleenex, couple of manuals, and a small Tylenol bottle full of clipped finger nails with a warning written on it: "DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE." 
No papers.

I would have sworn your quote was from W.C. Fields -- but whatever.
I have therapy putty; squishy stuff I knead in my hand while I'm thinking or reading.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I opened the CP Insider Daily Developer News. Read the Dinosaur Comics posting and scrolled down a ways.
There on the very bottom of the listing was the tread from my very own initial post! It's more amazing than being up-voted on a Q&A answer !
So exciting! I won't be able to sleep in front of my monitors all day !

An interesting write-up on Marketwatch: We asked musicians why guitar companies like Gibson are struggling and how to revive them - MarketWatch
Gibson pursued a diversification strategy as a “music lifestyle” brand, pivoting unsuccessfully into the home entertainment and audio-equipment industries. The company has announced it will liquidate its consumer-electronics business while restructuring its business to focus on its musical instruments.
“They are an iconic American brand but the people who ran the company got greedy and started doing things that weren’t what got them there. The problem wasn’t people not buying enough guitars; it was the way they were running their business,” (Stevie Salas)
(and the reason I'm posting this here in the Lounge is that it's a follow-up to a post made here, I guess about a week ago.)

I haven't read the article yet, but this part is probably the most important reason for the bankruptcy.
I hope they learned their lesson(s) and are on the road to getting their act together.
