On my fridge: kids' magnetic letters, which the last time I remember spelt "COCKFARMER" but I think are jumpbled now. I tried to use them to hold up postcards I'd got but they just fell off immediately.
And a magnetic Eminem dress-up doll.

We'll surely be back to anal obscenity in a few days.
I'd just like to add: my flat is tidier than ever, positively sparkling, thanks to may flatmate's new girl: he spent a whole day cleaning so she could stay over. It's heaven.

It is the center of the universe.
How to find this out . . .
First, hum a single note. Most people will hum B flat. The B flat tone is 60 cycles. 60 cycles of electricity powers most refrigerator motors. So if you cam hum a B flate you are in tune with your refrigerator. Everything inside your refrigerator will keep you alive by feeding your body. Everything on the outside of your refrigerator keeps your soul well fed. Pictures of your family and friends. A painting from your children. Good report cards. Even pictures of a 30 lb. cat or the Cookie Monster are all part of what make you feel good.
Therefore the refrigerator is in fact the center of the universe. Keep in tune with it.

On my fridge right now: A year-old wish list, on which I scrawl phone numbers when I'm talking on the kitchen phone. A magnet from a local pizza and chicken delivery place that gives dates for Redskins games from 1996 or so. A magnet-backed kitchen timer, holding up several coupons that are probably out of date.

My whole freezer door (ie the top door of the fridge) is covered in them, I was given a "romance" set, so theyre red, and a bit saucy, and I keep an eye on them because every time people visit a new poem seems to mysteriously appear. One of my faves is one I did:
sex drunk sleepbathed in skin and whispers
I also have a cool (real) phone bill that says i owe ONE BILLION DOLLARS and should move to yemen or something. My friend used to work for Telstra billing, it was a housewarming gift :)
