She was quite the looker!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yeah, cute li’l gal. Not much in the upper body department, though...

Can also be used to repair divots or as a ball marker.

Is that Bart Simpson’s hairstyle?

“The black goat with a thousand ewes!”
It looks like something from H.P. Lovecraft.

I swear it says made in china on the left figurine ....

[bigheadfred]

youre implying the poles have never reached this level of sophistication

I’m no expert in these sort of thing, but if I had to guess what it was, a women figurine is pretty low on my list. I would guess it is some sort of tool used for yarn or twine for making clothing.

Looks like a badly rusted beer bottle opener.

[Viennacon]

This could literally have been anything

Circulate it slowly and it'll drive ya crazy!

She has thigh gap!! The girls will be sooo jealous.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but...

While I admit to still loving that hypnotizing twirl... I feel I must point out that it is severely off-balance. Just a twopence-bit.

[TChad]

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

No.

I’m thinking it’s much more utilitarian, like a rope tensioner or some such thing.

Well she didn't put any tension in my rope..but whatever floats your boat
