This old man, he is dumb, he played knickknack with some rum. The geezer in question is, naturally, yours truly. And I am floored to tell you that in order to get new flooring in the dining room and the living room of my house, I moved approximately 1,387 knickknacks, tchotchkes (I had to look up how to spell that) and, yes, bottles of booze from one room to another.
