What is it supposed to be? The handle is plastic, the top cheap metal and there is a fuzzy-faced cardboard backing (which may just be packaging). The rings are free floating and look like small keyrings, which may be what it this is supposed to be. But it would make a pretty shitty keyring if that's the case and it doesn't quite seem to fit. So what is this weird thing?<br> <br> I told everyone I'd post pictures to a cool site I know of where it will not fail to be identified, please help me look clever to my in laws! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.79733 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:08:46 -0800 christmascrackerjunk mystery mysteryobject namethisobject whatisthisthing shelleycat
