Rings a bell,

My best friend during the disposable butane lighter upbringing showed he had one. A guy told him they could blow up. This friend automatically threw it down aways and everybody laughed.

They’ll detonate with a resounding “PADDYWHACK”!

Knick-knacks. Why did it have to be knick-knacks? Couldn’t you have hat tchotchkes instead?

…hopefully, the knick knacks were saved in the knick of time…

…would thumb drives be considered a k.k.?…

…how about a small magnifying glass?…

…a pencil with a broken tip?…

…a small glass repair kit?…

…a small 3/4 used up spool of thread?…and old generic Swiss style army knife?…3 old tiny bolts?…

…a voodoo doll of your old girlfriend with a pin in its toe…

Give the dog your bone.

Seeing as how most of ours are dragon themed…. I’m gonna be extra careful.

THEY are at work again.

Knickknack booby trap. The latest in home security. Unfortunately, we’ve lost three housecleaners so far.

This is how knick-knacks reproduce.

Afterwards people will accuse you of being a “hoarder”.

If the accumulated knickknacks of my parents and myself in this living space were to explode, likely the entire neighborhood would be annihilated! Still, a thing’s a thing for a that….
