do you collect things?

i used to collect metal figures [from citadel] but went off of the hobby as i no longer do any wargaming. im now thinking of collecting genuine japanese artefacts such as wood prints, ceramic opium pipes, kiseru pipes and maybe a shinken katana. other than blim burns what do you collect?

i used to collect random things
i had a road sign, a golf flag, a wet floor sign, a female changing sign
just shit like that

I used to collect snapple caps, the ones with the real facts on them, but theres too many of them and they got sticky so i threw them out

coins.. knives.. used to build models and collect those as well.. alcohol bottles (i think i have 300-400 in teh attic)

my wife collects everything >.< she's a fucking pack rat... she pulls out stuff once in awhile to go through it... and i find the oddest "why in the fuck would you keep that" type crap in it...

I collect african masks.

it's kinda odd, but I enjoy their presence.

cherries........they go POP


..i collect old bottles.

Non sports trading cards, spheres, Buddhas and Kwan Yins, stuff with suns, moons and stars on it. Chili pepper anything. Pictures of all kinds of things..usually magazine covers from the 40s-70s. Windchimes. Books. Comic books. Rocks, both everyday kind and semi precious gemstones. Knives. Dreamcatchers. Candle holders. Frogs, lizards, and snakes (figurines). Boxes. I like stuff to put stuff in.

My bedroom looks like a rummage shop. My kids love it.

i actually thought of something i collect without thinking of it as a collection. i have 47 books on different artists. i also have a lot of dvd's and hundreds of cd's although they are more for general use than being part of a dedicated collection. do you have anything that you have collected without realising aswell?

Porn.

Seeds
Chinese porcelain ginger jars
Vintage Polynesian cocktail mugs (Tiki stylee)
Copper cookware
Kitchen gadgets
Vintage 1950s and 60s cookbooks (happy homemaker crap)

Stuff I'd collect if I had more money-
Eskimo soapstone carvings
Japanese netsukes
(I have a few of both but they are outrageously expensive)

netsukes are pretty cool, i was thinking about getting a couple if i could afford them but i would probably try and get hold of an original woodcut first, if possible, if i ever won the lottery that is.

Tequila bottles...

I only started about a month ago, but have managed to get A Cabo Wabo Reposado (my favorite), Patron Silver (over rated), Don Julio Silver, 1800 Reposado, 1800 Silver, El Tesoro Platinum Silver, Calende Anejo, and Milagro Silver.

Tequila starts to get pretty expensive, and I'm only trying to get the 100% Agave's. The Calende is a blend...

I collect stuff in general. I have a terrible packrat tendency. I collect old songbooks, I like the ones that have illustrations and usually go ape shit for patriotic songs or songs from different eras. I like old hymn books too.

I collect old cookbooks, butterfly stuff, matchbooks, old board games, fabric. a ton of shit. I love going to estate sales and buying old pictures that someone painted. I feel bad for the painting that no one in its original family spared it from the sale, so if I can get them cheap I buy them and hang them here.

I collect lint in my pockets/belly.

Matt, everryday I want you to dig the lint out of your belly button and put it in a (clean) pickle jar. When its full send it to me and I'll knit you your very own bb lint sweater.

alright! will do.

Very good. You won't regret this. A beautiful one of a kind sweater. They usually smell a little bit, but you'll get used to it.

Unfortunately I am only proficient in Mr Roger's type cardigans and Bill Cosby on the Cosby Show crazy man drawing attention to himself sweaters. Whichever one you get depends on the size jar o lint you send.

We make our own dyes. All are 100% natural and only tested on ostrich's. Cause fuck ostrich's they are the evilest animals ever.

I collect the fortunes out of the fortune cookies at Panda Express.

ever since raising my own green, I collect all sorts of shit that would normally get thrown out. glass jars, empty milk jugs, produce twist ties, anything that I could use for my grow.
