Georgia woman collects outhouses – Peculiar Postings – MSNBC.com — This idea stinks. (How can I resist?)
Her favorite is an ancient two-holer with a tin roof and crude cedar posts for corners. The rusted metal on one side is peppered with shotgun pellets — just where the occupants would have been sitting.
Peel isn’t sure whether the circular pattern of tiny holes is the result of vandalism, assault or perhaps someone’s innovative idea to improve ventilation.
“It has a lot of character,” she said.

Ok, I’ll say it: this is a sh*ty collection.
I wouldn’t think it was a hot ebay item. My grandparents had one when I was young. It gave me arachnophobia.
my dad hates them…..when he was a kid growing up on the ranch, he got to dig the new dump holes for the outhouse to sit over, and fill in the old hole…….he said it was the most god awful thing you could make a human do……
Arachnophobia, OK, I can relate, but ‘nough said.
I hated these things, too many flies. The lady ain’t bad though.
Rus62, you need glasses.
This truly is craptastic!
It just goes to show that no matter what kind of useless junk you have, somebody somewhere collects it and wants yours, too.
For instance, how about the Condiment Package Collection?
