*Junk in Your Trunk*

[Lilith]

Well I saw this guy on tv who collected navel lint.......LOL
So it got me thinking (dangerous I know:D),

What do you wonderful, eclectic people collect?

~and~

What is the prize of your collection?

~and~

What do think your collection says about you?

:D:D:D:D:D:D

If you have pics of your collection even better......:D

[legend]

i collect hat badges...i'm not an avid collector, but i have a few

[Wicked Wanda]

Besides Mardi Gras beads?

Stuffed animals, especially cats, lions, and tigers.
(small "pocket size" only)


Wickedly,

WW

[Phoenix16]

Lilith - I saw the navel lint guy too. I was amazed at how serious he was about it.

I can't think of anything that I collect.....

[Lovediva]

Crystal Stemware and candles. :)

[Oldfart]

Oldfart, AKA Packrat Extraordinaire.

Little model aircraft, trek/wars spacecraft etc.

Squillions of books and videos.

[Saddaddy]

model Nascar cars , semi's & all kinds of hats

[mindboxer505]

weapons.....like my sword collection..........oriental weapons......
prize......a friend made me a set of kamas......okinawan weapon that kinda looks like a small hand held sickle....suckers are sharp as a razor...

[RandyGal]

but I do have one nice twisted thing I collect.

I collect miniature and unusual chamber pots, bedpans and other bathroom/toilet memorabilia. :eek:

:D

Yep. That IS an odd one. LOL

*if it makes you feel better about me i also collect antiques especially old toys, new and old mohair teddy bears, chairs...yep, I collect chairs....dolls made out of old linens and shoes.

[ASH]

I collect movie posters, and my prize has to be my jersey trilogy posters (got all three, woohoo!!) by the way, if anyone has access to the Star Wars Episode 2 poster, and they want to sell it or give it away, PLEASE let me know.

[sadora]

Lilith-
I noticed that you didn't share what you collect... please fill us in.

I collect wood... wood statues, wood bowls, weird, cool driftwood, wood boxes, etc. My prize is a handcarved statue about 3 feet tall, of a woman carrying a basket on her head. Got it at a flea market for $35.... Have been offered $1,500 since... no way!

I collect china, crystal, and antique dishes too. My prize is my grandmother's china.

I think the wood thing reflects my love of the earth, and my appreciation for the craft. Don't know about the china/dish thing... but can't pass up a beautiful old dish.

[Lilith]

besides 'victims';)..... I have 3 things I collect~none of which are sexy :D

#1 is teacups~ I adore them, all kinds. Prefer old,well used ones. I like to wonder who sipped from them and what they talked about over their cup of tea. Funny I prefer them with out saucers. If I find one with out a saucer I bring it home, as if to keep it company.LOL I have them (zillions) hanging as a border around the perimeter of my dining room and kitchen.

#2 Ladybugs~The children I have taught have always given me ladybug gifts, including living and dead ones :) My entire classroom has always been set up in a ladybug theme.

#3 odd McDonald's memorabilia~ Met hubby as teens flipping burgers. Have the gigantic flag that flew over the store where we met and lots of other strange type McDonald's artifacts, much of it from other countries. I don't collect mainstream merchandise.

none of these things really reflect me though.... They mainly reflect the relationships I have with others....

[Glyndwr]

dragons

[RandyGal]

sadora and lilith!! I love your collections...the teacup/china one is a favorite of mine too.

*cool hint of the day...when/if your china gets chipped just plant them standing up in your garden with the chipped edge in the ground! they look WONDERFUL peeking out from flowers and inside the teacups you'll sometimes find a frog or a LADYBUG taking shelter!


And sadora, I found a driftwood cross with a stone imbedded in it...still around here somewhere. I would love to send it to you if I ever find it in this mess I call "home"...

(i will email you when i dig it up again if you're interested)

[scotzoidman]

Collecting; the bane of my existence, my parents lived thru the Great Depression, & became world class Packrats, & trained me in the finer points... now I find myself in my childhood home, with their 45+ yrs. of junk, PLUS the accumluation of 27 yrs. of my adult/married life... trying to rid myself (with the help of Ebay) of coins, china, crystal, glassware, etc.... HELP!!!

[Sugarsprinkles]

Hey Scotzoidman!
Those Depression era parents really taught us well, didn't they??
I think their motto must have been "You never know when you're going to need it." I swear my mother never threw anything away!! And of course neither do I!:D
The only way I've gotten rid of the clutter, hers and ours, is as a result of 2 separate housefires, 11 years apart. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it sure did get rid of a lot of stuff!!:(

[jay]

I have a small collection of v.w. stuff my prize is my 68 ghia waiting to be rebuilt

[Lilith]

Jay, my love, man of my dreams, stud of my soul, keeper of my fantasy car, when are you going to finish her.......she's a beauty;) I can see you now bent over he with your Patrick Swayze-like ass......... oh a girl can always dream....... I think that is the sexiest pic I have seen posted ;) <jk boys>

[jay]

it will be about two years unless I win the loterey and can work all day and night on her not to mension buy all the parts sorry she isn't a convertable

[Lilith]

Jay she is perfect! No need for her to be topless:)

[sadora]

I think we can learn alot from people by what they collect.

Randy- If you ever find it, let me know. How lovely to think of me!

Lilith- would have never pegged you as a tescup girl! Then again, you wouldn't think of china and fragile dishes with me! The victim thing I figured. Just goes to show the diversity of the personality.

[vampeyes]

I collect anything and everything :D just joking actaully I am a very bad packrat trying to improve my ways..... But I do love my Snowbabies heres a pic of some of them.

[GermanSteve]

Phone cards and sexy internet pictures (greetigs to the lot of anonymous pic collectors) and pictures of pretty or interesting faces.
About the character: It started with the faces collection because I wanted to find out what on a face is the interesting thing to me actually. Later I continued with the other pics because it grew like a little addiction. The phone cards are nice things with nice pictures, I simply like watching them.

[scotzoidman]

Sprinkles, it's worse than you can believe, a 50s rancher w/a full basement, 2 mini barns, an attic stuffed to the rafters, & still renting a 10 X 20 storage unit... I'm drowning in .... STUFF!!!

[kimmer22]

I have a collection of alcohol bottles that I've emptied w/ many friends over the years, the old Arizona tea bottles(but the odd non-tea flavors), and I collect little boxes, tins, and just little things to put stuff in.

[PantyFanatic]

I have a lifetime of unrelated odd junk items that had some significance somewhere along the way that I call memorabilia. i.e. 7” Dia. Piston from a Lycolming radial aircraft engine, Western Union telegraph key, femur bone of a hog (I think), a 12-1/2” [full round] conifer-base Polypore (mushroom), etc. :confused:
Oh ya, Maps,.....lots a maps!

The closest I have to a “collection” is the 3 monkeys that just started to accumulate. I now have between 75 to 80 of the things.



(I ALWAYS WANTED TO COLLECT PANTIES, BUT I KEEP EATING THEM!):p :p :p :rolleyes:

[PantyFanatic]

I forgot a pic. (sorry)

[Lilith]

Here are just a couple of my teacups! It's a pretty eclectic collection. I probably have over 80 and have broken almost that many LMAO:D (like a bull in a china shop):D

[PantyFanatic]

"...help, they're comming in the windows."

[Murphy]

I collect several things. Sheet Music going all the way back to WWI, Baseball Caps, (but not teams, just businesses and sayings), hat pins, Lyrics to really ancient ballads, and Sci-fi paperbacks. The wife collects tin boxes, crystal candelholders, oil lamps, and unfinished needlepoint projects

[Lilith]

Murphy~I have some (lots)of those needlepoint projects she can have LMAO!!!!!!

[sugarfreecandy]

I collect paper. Yeah yeah, I know, we all accumulate the stuff, but I'm talking about nice paper. Stationery, handmade paper, silk paper, rice paper, papyrus, cork paper, foil paper, you name it. I have it all in an expanding file that I have to sit on to close. I actually started a business making handmade greeting cards when I was in high school just as an excuse to buy more paper, but though the business is long since defunct I still keep buying paper...

I also collect Bach. Not just any Bach either, though it's all good; I collect the Goldberg Variations. I have 14 recordings of them on CD, another 6 on casette, and another 8 or 9 on vinyl (don't have a functioning record player anymore though :()... The funny thing is, I know all the music intimately, but I can't hum more than the first few bars of the aria or aria da capo, and only a couple of bars of two or three of the other variations, unless I'm actually listening at the time. Go figure. Anyway, I love the richness and subtlety of the music...

For some reason people seem to think I collect rabbits. I have never ever bought a stuffed rabbit, but I have about 30; people spontaneously give them to me without knowing about the rest of the collection --- apparently I'm just a funny bunny. Or something like that.

*looking around the room*

Oh. Obviously I also collect dust bunnies. I didn't include those in my bunny count, but I think I'm going to open a breeding colony for them. Not that rabbits of any variety need help breeding... :rolleyes:

--- sweetstuff

[Sugarsprinkles]

PF,
I love your monkey collection!! I just can't resist posting this pic.......my family's version of it taken in 1989:

[MissX]

I don't collect, I mean my nature is to hoard things in case they come in handy but I then get scared about becoming a little old lady with a house full of junk and periodically throw everything out...mmm perhaps this is another phobia...

[jnd_lady]

egg cups
bells
and pig things as a child i always wanted a pet pig still working on it can't seem to get jnd to agree on it yet.

[PantyFanatic]

Had to share this with someone.
In spite of the fact that my last project ended 4 weeks ago and I’m not spending money until I get some of these other irons from the fire:( , I did today.
Was driving down a residential street and see a yard sale which is where most of my 3-monkey collection has come from. I stop whenever I have the time and a few extra buck in my pocket. That wasn’t either count today:( . But I stopped anyway;). Now I find one monkey figurine in every 20 stops, but buy some other cleaver piece of junk I can’t figure out how I’ve gotten this old without:confused:.
When I ask about the 3-monkeys I’m told “NO, only that thing with them stacked up”:cool:.
So here’s No. 87 in my collection. LMAO :D

[Lilith]

OMG that is fabulously hideous:D:D:p LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[PantyFanatic]

EXACTLY!

I love it too. :)

[scotzoidman]

Tacky Chic to the max...only thing worse could be the woman's leg lamp Darren McGavin had in "Christmas Story"

[PantyFanatic]

I'm looking for that too ;)

[dicksbro]

Collect 1/18 scale model cars. Pride is a model of the Mercedes used by the Emperor of Japan in pre-war years. Not the Mercedes, but attached a picture of one of the cars.

[RandyGal]

Oh Pantyfanatic!!!!

What a wonderfully gruesome lamp...........

I'll keep my eyes out for the leg lamp for ya, but I suspect once I find it, I MAY have to wrestle it out of DH's arms! LMAO

(can I have your monkey lamp when you....er...um....well.......
when you die? you have my addy! ROTFLMAO!!!!)

[Irish]

Dicksbro---That is beautiful!Is it really a model?I have;a few friends,that restore old cars.You wouldn't believe;the money;that
they pay for genuine parts! Irish

[Irish]

Lilith---My favorite(deceased)Aunt;used to collect Tea Cups.Every-
time;that we(parents,wife,etc.)went anywhere;we would always
bring her a cup(China).I don't know what ever happened;to her
collection.I had moved to another state;when she died.I was a
pall-bearer; at her funeral;but I never asked about the collection.
She was married to my Fathers brother.I imagine that he gave it to someone.I collected old expensive,motorcycle parts for resale;
to customers;to save them money!(Lucas,Bosch,etc.)I sold them all;last year. Irish

[LixyChick]

Oh......My! Hmmmmm......I should alphabetize these but here goes.......off the top of my head: (dangerous manuever)

old bottles....I have hundreds (in hubby's business, he digs them up all the time, hopefully finding them before they are blown to smitherines) I bought a few, but most are found.

Hallmark ornaments.....all kinds from any source. Some we have date back to 66.

Unusual time pieces........anything other than clocks (sundials, hourglasses, etc.) although I have a few "special" clocks that are old and rare.

Books........any kind...doesn't matter.....I love to hold an old book and wonder who read it before me. The oldest book I own is "The Report of the Secretary of Internal Affairs", dated 1875. When I found it in our attic when we moved in it had been eaten a bit by silverfish but still in pretty good condition. Inside was page #3 of a letter (handwritten in Pa. Dutch) and the closest we can figure from this page is that *Seems there was a scandal in a county not far from here. When exposed, a farmer killed his lover and then his wife......set his barn on fire and then killed himself. All to burn together in hell, I assume! People had shunned them and so as not to make his lover and wife bear his shame, he killed them and himself. I looked everywhere for page #1 but to no avail.

Stamps.......first issue and cancelled at the city of source. Example: The day before and the day after stamps from U.S.S.R on Dec. 24th and Russia on Dec. 25th. I think that's how they go, I am not looking at them at the moment but I think it's something like that. These were cancelled in Moscow. I have others....Elvis...on a Graceland envelope, etc.

Geezzzzzzzzz......I have so much more to put down here but I am rambling! I really want to post pics of all this stuff and prolly will soon but the reason I started this reply is to tell Lilith of the "almost" collection I was gonna start! I wanted to collect teacups of faces. Three dimensional faces at that! Bailey's (the Irish Creme people) had a novel idea one Christmas and as a bonus at purchase you recieved a teacup designed by a celebrity. I wanted to get the series. I got the first in the series....a cup designed and signed by Helen Hunt. The next year when I wanted the second in the series I was told they discontinued the idea...........aaarrrrrgggggggggg! Included is a pic of my one and only three dimensional teacup. She looks so lonely!

OK...I'll shut up now! LOL!

[Lilith]

Lixy~I love that cup and have not found one here yet......oh well I have actually not gotten a teacup in years..... there are these newer sexy ones done by Versace.......several dif ones in the dinnerware lines. Oh I need to go junking......:p

[Summer]

Ok, I only have a few collections ....
I collect VW stuff. My prize piece in this collection is the newest one, which is the Barbie cyber green New Beetle. This is because it looks like my real one. ;)

I also collect Tiki items and Persian Rugs. I have started getting camel saddle bags (which are like the rugs) and are turning them into floor pillows.

I am in the business of selling people's collections through eBay and an Auction House. It is truly amazing to see what people collect. I have had fun reading this thread. Thanks Lil (and all).
-Summer :D

[axe31]

well i collect books almost all fantacy books
swords and sorcery stuff a few scifi
if i get any more books my bookcase will
explode heres a pic
ps how geeky am i

[LixyChick]

Awesome axe! I love book geeks! Or maybe it's just geeks in general, hmmmm?.....but um........now I have the urge to come over and Dewey Decimal you up!

[ryder]

Ball caps from all over... Military squadron crests & badges...Playboy issues...coins from all over the world...music CD's (really got to cut down on that). Live on an acreage so nothing gets tossed out..got all sorts of nuts, bolts, nails, screws, wire...etc...everything has a use. The s/o collects candles & holders, knives (I'm careful around her :) )

[Reesa]

I collect any and all things Raggedy Ann and Andy; most of them are put away in a closet (bursting at the seams!) until I get a bigger place. Their soft, simple faces and bodies appeal to the little girl in me.

[PantyFanatic]

... *BUMP*

And now I’m going to let you see my REAL collecting passion.:p

[LixyChick]

OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Yep! That's all I can say!

Yep!

[BIBI]

Being a pack rat I have a rather vast collection of collections......

So I can say that I collect collections!(I think it is a sickness but I have no desire to find the cure...yet!)

My most favorite collectible is Wizard of Oz ....I have lots of it.
Crystal figures are next.....the little tiny ones
I am also into collecting old trunks and I have 6 throughout my home....my favorite is an old steamship truck equipped with drawers and wooden hangers and tons of decals from places visited long ago......
Tins I love to collect also..... and so on and so on and so on!
Oh brother, if I ever have to move!!!! :)

[m45]

Oh My we are Antique and Collectable Dealers what don't we collect. Our store is eBay.
My fav though is Nodder Bobbers, we have a dozen or so of them and anything Cat or Pig related.
So many things... To many things...

[Irish]

pantyfanatic---Why didn't you put that picture of yourself
in the"Putting a face to the names"thread? Irish

[PantyFanatic]

Great idea.:D I just may do it anyway!!! ;)

LMAO

[Tess]

After 11 years on the road, I got 'em from all over.

[Vintage Vixen]

Anything harley related,t-shirts,helmet stickers...My tattoos of course i'd say they are a collection...here's a pic of one of my t's i got at a Hell's Angels bar,the bartender said if it fits over your boobs its yours lol:) Tight squeeze but i got it,took my old shirt off
at the bar and squeeeezed into this:)

[incitatus]

I think my bottle cap collection is too weird to mention...
...so I won't.

I collect (authentic looking) Hot Wheels. -it's a lot harder than it sounds, most are stoopid looking.

...it's like a little treasure hunt. I go through the racks of Hot Wheels and out the hundreds of cars I MAY find ONE. -and spend a buck.

[PantyFanatic]

:DSURPRISE ADDITION:D


I have to show you the latest additions to my collection. But the best part is how I came by them.

I got a PM from a member here saying she had found some monkeys that would go in my self-started, self-perpetuating collection. I was so taken that she even remembered about it that I really didn’t take her seriously until she asked for shipping instructions. Yes, our Summer is not only sexy and smart, she’s sweet too.:)

[even if they don’t have the proper wrapping material in Florida. (inside joke)];)

[m45]

Here is my fav..
Nodders:)

[Summer]

SUV just a few years ago, but heres a list...


action figures
skulls and things with skulls on them
legos
and the colection I barely have started and keep meaning to get LOTS more of.....
Peter Pan stuff

[PantyFanatic]

I have a peanutbutter jar you may want andvari. ;)

[BlondeCurlGirl]

Music boxes (a small collection, only have 4 so far)

Anything with turtles (my parents and brother also collect turtles too)...that would be my largest collection so far...

State quarters

I also have a few celebrity autographs

[Lost]

Originally posted by pantyfanatic

OH is that the PB jar with the very hard to find Peter Pan action figure wearing skulls made by Lego?
thats the one I need to top my collection!

[ryker]

Model cars (last count nearly 400)

Star trek collectables (just about anything)

most prized...three old hot wheels cars from my first childhood..lol

[blkcat]

Movie sound tracks,Lp Cd, especially by composer John Barry

model jaguar cars

[Irish]

BCG---My wife has also saved the state quarters.One for each
Grandchild.We have 4 Grandchildren.Shows how times&values
have changed.My Grandmothers,thought that you could RETIRE
on,on something,worth as much as a quarter! Irish

[dicksbro]

I love 1/18th scale modlel cars ... especailly older models like the 1931 Alpha Romeo"BC Monza" which I supplied a picture of. I'd really love the real cars, but my budget is a bit constrained for that. :D :D I probably have 30 or 40 of these models.

[dicksbro]

Here, I'll share one more of my "car model" collection. This one being Emperor Hirohito's Mercedes Benz. This is the same 1/18th scale as the other picture.

[Vicious Tease]

I've got a ridiculously large collection of salt and pepper shakers, a passion I inherited from my grandmother. I'm also an antique junky. I especially love antique toys. Just another sign of my determination not to grow up I guess. Unfortunately, the increasing volume of gray hair is a sign that I am losing the battle.

[PantyFanatic]

Latest addition and to a real treasure trove. :rolleyes:



LMAO

[lakritze]

I have a small collection,a dozen or so of... fountain pens.Some are quite old,others are more recent.If they weren't such a mess to use,I would do all of my writing with them.

[Ryan²]

Crikey, here comes the essay:-


When I was young, for some reason I used to collect clocks just to keep. Having got rid of that habit for many years, it soon returned to haunt me, but this time the clocks were to be used!
After finding one once, cat's eyes, from the road.
Dice (After the Diceman programme)
Conkers, during season. I have none now though.

Axe, If I am not mistaken I see a copy of A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony on your bookshelf... Am I right?

[PantyFanatic]

I forgot about the dice. These damn things seem to have accumulated too.
Everything from oversize carnival dice and novelty dice to souvenirs from the Sahara and calibrated, matched, serial numbered casino bones.
I think my favorite are the tiny, 5/16” (in the lid of the matched set) that were supposedly devised in Alabama by blacks, during the Jim Crow days, to foil the authorities trying to stop street corner crap games by simply swallowing them.

[Teddy Bear]

PF, I love your latest 3 monkey, they are 'cute' in a funny way. I was looking for you in that pic though.

When you took the dice pic, you forgot to include the fuzzy pair hanging from the rear view mirror in your car. :D You DO have them don't you?

[Mae]

Collect lapel pins. They don't take up as much room. Also old Peter Max books. Wish I still had my old notebooks from high school. We ruthlessly de-junked and donated massive amounts when we moved into our house. I really love the bright colors of the 70's Peter Max.

[Steph]

What are you, 500?

[SuccubusKitty]

Oddly enough folks I have just a few collections...Madame Alexander dolls, minature shoes, cats, and fairies and any thing Irish. I also collect dragons, knives and sort of macabre dolls...I have RiffRaff, Morticia and Gomez Addams, Merlin and Morgan LeFaye, a Twisted Tatum, and several Living Dead Dolls.

Yes I know those two sets of things don't quite match up but :p I am an odd mix of twisted and normal too. :D If nothing else my house has interesting decor. :lust:

[Mor Rioghan]

Well, let me see...

I am probably one of the few people that still owns cassettes...and I have an odd collection of music on them that ranges from the 60/70s to just a few years back. (I think there is over 150 by now.)

We (hubby & I) have about 250-300 cds or more between us.

I collect certain Ty Beanie Babies.

I also collect Unicorns, Fairies, Dragons, Wolves, Candles, Candle Holders (just a few here), and anything else that strikes my fancy when I see it.

The funny thing is that hubby feels that he doesn't collect anything...but he has his own collection of TRF mugs, dragons, wolves, a couple of Star Trek items, and his odd assortment of swords, knives, and guns.

So, just between him and I, our house is quite full. :p

[Irish]

MR---I have ALL kinds of casettes.My car has a casette player &
a CD player.I bought it because it had many options.I bought it
used(now they say,preowned)My wife got hers new.It is the same
make & model as mine,but mine is a 1998 & hers is a 2002.I had
many casettes & lucked out.It also has the Infinity Radio,so has
two more speakers. Irish

Well, hubby's truck has a cd player...and I can always play them on either stereo in the house. Eventually, I would love to get them (or @ least the important ones) on CD.

[Sugarsprinkles]

BUMP!!!!

[osuche]

I collect knives and switchblades. I have about 30 so far. Yes, I know it's sick...but I love them. :D

[jay-t]

I collect antique tools(blacksmith & carpentry) I have a healthy respect for those that could hand plane an 8ft board flat!
My prize tool would be a 100lb anvil made in the 1880s

[Irish]

osuche---If you're sick,you're not alone.I had alot of knives.When I cleaned,
my house & garage out lately,I gave most of them to one of my grandsons.
I saved a few,because they are so hard to get anymore.I gave him most of
my "survival" type knives.Most of the ones that I saved are jackknives.I, also,
saved a double edged "Butterfly"knife.They are not only illegal(double edged)
but rare.I even have one of the old "Lansky" knife sharpeners.They take alot
of patience,but do an excellant job! Irish

OK.... Now I'm envious of your collection. :D

[Irish]

osuche---My (deceased)father was an ex-Conn.State Cop.I used to have quite alot of switchblades,that he took away from people.He also carried his
own when he worked "undercover".They are(unfortunately)all given away or
broken now!Somewhere,I have the "old" blackjack,that he used to carry. Irish
P.S.Most people,think that when a cop,confiscates weapons,alcoholic beverages,etc,that they turn them in!Bullshit!

[scotzoidman]

Most people,think that when a cop,confiscates weapons,alcoholic beverages,etc,that they turn them in!Bullshit!
Y'know, I always wondered if that park cop enjoyed my dime bag back in the 70's...

[Irish]

Scotz---When we lived in Portsmouth NH,a fellow rider(Yellow 850 Norton),
was also a Ports cop.I remember,one night,when we were all going to a
motorcycle unveiling(That years motorcycles)at a dealers,in Maine,in our buddies custom van,he took out a joint,lit it,& was passing it around.He had
taken it away,from a suspect,approx 1/2hr before.We all kept our bikes in the same garage.We used to race,from bar to bar.Last one there, paid for the drinks.He was a cop then. Irish
P.S.When I was a kid,my father told me,that what people,didn't realise,is that
when cops aren't on duty,the're just like anyone else!

[PantyFanatic]

:bump:

Tacky Chic to the max...only thing worse could be the woman's leg lamp Darren McGavin had in "Christmas Story"
Zoid!

People are fondling your lamp. :yikes:

Maybe this is where you want to take your holiday vacation, Scotzoidman. Today they opened the Christmas Story house (http://www.myfoxcleveland.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=1529385&version=8&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1) to hustle some buck$ out of somebody.

This is a thread that many of our Pixies who have found a home here, since it was started, can enjoy and add to. I want to know more about how silly we all are.

[Vicious Tease]

:bump:

I miss this thread, it's fun to see what y'all are into.

In the last few years I've acquired enough crystal that it's become a bit of a collection. I've also started to collect high heels ... just haven't figured out how to walk in them yet. :shrug:

Your balance is all in how you walk and move your hips. (I know, it's sad that a guy can walk in heels.) I collect movies (both physically and memorizing lines to watch in my head), dragons, and books. I love my books.

[shadowsfate]

I love my books.
I love my books too. I've had several people get flabbergasted when the saw how large my collection of books and RPGs. That's why I don't plan on moving anytime soon, much too much work to cart all that paper around :rofl:

[Rhiannon]

For some reason it started a while ago.I collect empty journals that i use when i journal.

There has been a few additions to "The 3 Wise Monkeys" collection. I never go looking for them, but after not running across any for months and months, I'll find a couple within days or a week. :shrug:


The 2nd and 3rd pics are interesting as it's the only one so far with them each covering something on the one next to themselves.

[Oldfart]

Have you seen the four wise monkeys?

[PantyFanatic]

I have and like them a lot. :) When I was first 'prompted' to start the collection:rolleyes2 I knew I had to set myself rules or it would be another run-away horse for me. I never pickup anything except the 3 monkeys for myself. I have a couple of the 4 that were given to me and I love them in the collection. :D

[Lilith]

I saw these 3 and they reminded me of your collection. I don't think the lady would have appreciate me lifting them from around her pool.

[PantyFanatic]

We haven't see the collections of the newer members since this thread was started. I'm sure we have a lot of interesting collections among us. I believe most 'collections' begin as 'accumulations' rather than intended collections.:nod: Show us the totally unnecessary neat things that you have become fond of. :thumbs:

Model trains and antique radios much to my wives chagrin I can tell you

[marlborodasreds]

There's this guy who lives in Maine (and now part-time in Florida) that's been known to put a few words on paper and make it interesting. I'm kind of a fan.

[Oldfart]

Larry Niven doesn't live in Florida, I'm sure.

recently moved and had some wall space so I put up some of my action figure collection that is still in the packaging

[PantyFanatic]

Kool wall. :thumb:

[Oldfart]

Still in their wrapping. Smart move, for when you or your heirs sell them.

SELL THEM?!?!
maybe after I am dead :P

I have just as many if not more that not in the package anymore..
some were just too cool to not open... like the Alice Cooper figure with a
fully articulated guillotine!!

My latest addition is so special it deserves a link to a thread of it's own. :nod:

[Oldfart]

my great great grandfathers 12 gauge double barrel made by barret arms .

I was re-reading the thread and noticed this. The Barrett Arms who make the super-sexy .50cal were formed in 1982. Do you know anything more about your barret arms? I couldn't find any reference to it in my gun books.

[themi01]

OLD CB radios and old radio technology you can hear me as either GS-259 or just plain old 259 on 27.385 MHZ lower sideband Yes I did make OZ that way once so dust off that CB equipment

[PantyFanatic]

Lilith, look!!!

An addition to the will for you some day. http://serve.mysmiley.net/sick/sick0004.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net)

Yes! A new addition and the best part is it came from another Pixie. :D

[PantyFanatic]

Well, ……. The best part of this gift, not the best gift from this Pixie. She has always known the worlds best treasures for me. :kisser:
