For me, I am hoping that I can jockey my way into getting my Paternal Grandpa's white naughahyde futon with a cowboy design stitched into it, his bull penis canes, and 50's 8mm pron. I will probably just end up with land from the other side and maybe my Great Grandpa's railroad retirement watch. That side has far less cool stuff.

The family plantation. It needs some love but I'll get it there.

Bull penis canes. What conversation pieces they are. Everybody should have one for those awkward moments during a dinner party when the conversation lulls. Bring out your bull penis cane for hours of great conversation.

the family gas station sign from western OK... Old Texaco sign with family name on it.

My grandfather on my mom's side had a Ming-dynasty buddha which I want to get my mits on eventually.

Supposed to be priceless, so I won't be wanting it until the kids are out of the house. I've seen too many china cabinets hit the floor during house parties in my own teenage years.

My grandfather's collection of firearms.

I got my dad's La-z-boy chair and a big assed popcorn machine and an LC Smith shotgun and some rifles.

The most prized posession is a few letters from a GGG granddad that he wrote his sweetie when he was a POW during the Civil War.

My Mom's Degas, I guess.

My grandpa brought back a German rifle and German officer's dagger from WWII. My dad has them now, but I'll get them eventually.
