Gods, I'm smart when I have internet access!

Ah, see that makes more sense - Oddments and ends makes a better plural phrase. I used 'an' because I couldn't think of any other place (other than the sports book in a casino as SusanB pointed out) where the word 'odd' by itself was ever used in plural form
Susan - you could call yourself "Mod Squader" - except I guess a lot of members might not be old enough to get that one. Never mind.
