Extrapolation


AA'ers are known to collect small artifacts and curios of some personal significance or interest, often with a comical aspect, and to display them in a quasi-reverent fashion within a frame or on a shelf, resembling an altar. Objects are often presented ironically, but rarely without at least a sprinkling of earnest admiration.
