Charms!

I think I invented a new game: Tell a story with things you find on ebay. Once there was a small silver pirate with a wobat. Boy, did he love sex, and folding oragami rabbits. He spent all his life searching for a silver cheese grater that would grate his magic hunk of silver cheese. He found out that a viking had it, but the viking couldn't be bothered, as he was too busy reading Moby Dick, a BOOK, a cookbook, and a prayer book. However, then the pirate met a funny man with his hat in his hand and a silver ring through his head. The man helped him get the magic cheese grater, and the viking was hanged. The pirate and his wombat went on to raise a pair of rabbits and study the Kama Sutra.

Who has a charm bracelet? I have one, in silver. I has five or so charms, a sun, a moon, a cat, hearts. My brother even bought me one, once, a mailbox with a love letter in it, which I thankfully lost. When I got that bracelet in middle school I thought my whole life would be measured out in charms.
It's a pretty bracelet, I suddenly regretted it never took. I've decided to start collecting rabbit charms for it, and take the others off. I ordered two from ebay:
a pair of bunnies for good bonding mojo
and an oragami rabbit

The great thing about charms is that they have cheap shipping. :) Hmm, maybe I won't take all the others off, maybe I should just start collectings charms again.
I could get a Moby Dick charm, or this is pretty straightfoward, the only other options in the charm library are a diary, a cook book, and a prayer book. How about a viking head? Or how about funny man with hat in hand? a cheese grater? cheese for it, of course. A wombat? See, now I'm just making shit up. Pirate, of course. And after he gets caught

The problem is that the charm industry appears to have been taken over by these (imho) cheap-looking modular Italian charms.
Here's an I Love Sex Italian Charm, I told you they were classy. But there's also a Kama Sutra charm.

Of course, then there were the horrible plastic charm necklaces/bracelets from the 80s. I haven't seen one of those in ages, I wonder where they all went?
