I wonder if someone has ever tried to catalog all of the show-related merchandise created over the years. I was in a comics store recently and saw they had lots of "collectible" figurines for like Fat Tony and "I am evil Homer" Homer.

So tell us -- what's the best merch you've got?

What's the worst / most cheesiest / crass thing you have?

If you don't have anything, feel free to use examples from the show itself. Maybe a nice candy dish or tie rack.

My best is the 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a couple hundred characters in the image. I pull it out once a year and build it again 'cause I love it that much.

My worst is a video game from the late 80s called Bart's House of Weirdness because I don't have a way to play it any longer, but it's still stored away in my basement.

I have a Homer clock that would say a Homer quote every hour. My grandpa got it for me at a garage sale so it meant a lot that he remembered something I liked. Since he said the same unique quote for every hour, I could tell what time it was based on the quote.

Unfortunately I had to put the clock in storage since it stopped working. The second hand kept getting stuck, even with new batteries.

I also have a pair of Homer slippers. I wore the hell out of them in college. I had to buy a new pair recently because of how worn out they were.
