Okay, folks. This is "master-plan" level stuff.
If I ever have a mansion, or better yet, some kind of huge old abandoned industrial space, or a normal place with an extra room, my plan is to make one large room into "the E.T. room."
The E.T. room will be a testament and ode to human folly.
It will be a celebration, really.
The Atari 2600 E.T. game, as the inspiration for the E.T. room, will be displayed prominently and permanently on the wall -- though I haven't decided whether other human follies should be like rotating exhibits, or also permanent.
Since shadowboxing is the most ridiculous mode of presentation, the E.T. game will, of course, be shadowboxed.
I haven't decided whether the game should actually be played in the E.T. room (except on its inaugural day, when obviously it should) or generally left as a symbol of the incredible history of incredibly bad inventions, designs and ideas that the E.T. room will partially catalogue.
So even though I'm not in the market for real estate, and even though I'm likely moving sometime in the next several months, here's your chance:
What would you put in the E.T. room?

Would the ET room resemble Jonfen's wall in the opening sequence of "Everything is Illuminated?" If you're using shadow boxes, I guess not.
What would go in it? Our most recent ex-president and his officemate, for starters.
