So, I'm currently in the process of moving and was talking about it in chat and John made a joke about collecting pogs (which sounds AWESOME, but alas, I don't), but it got me wondering possibly the weirdest thing that has crossed my mind about you bunch of psychopaths...what is the oddest thing that you currently collect and are willing to admit? Now, I know people collect comics and baseball cards and whatnot...but those are things that people naturally collect. Do you collect anything out of the norm that most people wouldn't hold on to?

It's not really out of the norm, but video games and any video game related merch.

Bodi.. Nvm
Umm probably sunglasses, watches and cologne.
It's more like I have a problem with just buying too many of them and not wanting to throw them out vs collecting though.
I also collect #1 picks and superstars. But I trade them. Often.

Bbq sauce. I love it and anytime I see a new brand or flavor I buy it. I don't really ever use any of it though, since I don't have a bbq,

Since I asked the question, I should throw out my non-sense... First, I collect bobbleheads...which is at least something people collect. Weirder is that I collect bookmarks...which was less weird before people switched to e-reading, but even before that I don't know anyone else who collected bookmarks for the sake of having them. Anytime I go on a trip (or even see one I like in the store) I pick one up. I also save the movie stub for every movie I see in theaters...but that's not weird, is it?  |

Nothing weird on my end. I collect the "normal" things like comics going back to 1960s and old school video games. I don't drink so never looked at collecting any type of alcohol. I'd have to look in my garage to see if there was anything I ever collected at one point and forgot about but there's nothing else that I really actively collect.

I will say that I do like all three styles though (tomato, vinegar, and mustard base). |

I have more books than even I could ever possibly read I've started collecting the Barnes and Noble classics collection this past year with all the old style leather bound hardcover books. A nice scotch and literary class can make for a good night when stuck at home. |

I do that aswell, glad to know I'm not the only one haha. Recently started collecting Bobbleheads also, only movie ones though. Only have 6 atm, Thor (The Dark World), Rocket Raccoon (Guardians of the Galaxy), Ted, Alan (Hangover), Ron Burgundy (Anchorman) and Clark Griswold!! (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation). Also have kept every video game I have ever had (never traded a game in) dating back to the Mega Drive, Snes days all the way to now so that is quite a big collection. |

I collect ticket stubs from sporting events, bottle caps and different types of money that is no longer in production.
I drink a lot of craft beer so I plan on having my fiance make something cool out of all the bottle caps i've collected over the years. What that will be, I don't know but I just collect them for the sake of not throwing them away.

I guess I can add discs from tournaments and other teams, as well as college pennants and neon bar signs for man cave decoration once I have my own place with a man cave.

Collecting beer caps is too mainstream for me so I recently started collecting sour beer caps (huge difference I know). Pretty happy with my progress so far. If you're into sour beers, try and find alamanac "farmers reserve cherry." Definitely recommend it.

I am a huge technology and computer geek. I build and repair desktop computers for friends and family. I also upgrade laptop hardware (simple stuff like replacing hard drives with solid state drives or increasing RAM memory). At one point, I managed to replace a burnt capacitor on a laptop motherboard and soldiered the new one by baking it in an oven. I also baked video graphics cards that were valued at $500+ from eBay for $100-150 - when that huge batch of the early Nvidia GTX had issues - and then, I'd sell them for $250+. In terms of spare parts in my cabinets, I'd have enough to build at least one or two computers. Heck, I have a brand new computer I built for $220 sitting on top of this computer case (it's fully exposed with no case). It would run circles around almost everyone's (I'll put a video up soon) and I never, even use it. Why buy it? $220! Found some insane deals and I probably saved $150 by buying the parts during sales. In terms of laptops , I have 3 (one is really old Pentium processor, the other two are i3 processor-based with 4GB RAM). I don't really use two of them, at all, but the other one is simply my "HTPC"-equivalent since I don't want something massive sitting in front of living room. With regards to technology, I have an iPhone 6 with Verizon Wireless and a Kindle to read eBooks. I just bought The Moon and am excited to start reading it after seeing the trailer on YouTube (seriously, check it out). I probably have enough spare computer parts to build one or two low-end desktop computers (the kind you can buy for ~$400 at Best Buy): - AMD Phenom II 720 (triple-core processor) and supporting motherboard
- At least 20GB of DDR3 RAM laying around (16GB in this computer I'm typing from)
- nVidia GeForce 9600GSO (LOL - it could probably still run *some* newer games on medium settings)
- Cooler Master power supply (460W) - to be honest, I probably should toss this away (I don't play around with power supplies that don't come from Corsair/Enermax/Seasonic because I don't want a cheap-o power supply to fry my entire system)
Yeah, I got a problem!  EDIT Here's the link to me booting up then re-booting the PC to show the insane speed. vid.me/OnZB |

Americans are very mobile. They often change their place of residence due to a change in place of work. This happens due to various reasons: getting a job in another city, increasing or decreasing income, finding cheaper or more comfortable housing. All these reasons lead to the fact that Americans are changing their place of residence.

Lets talk about striptease maybe? Do you like to watch striptease dances? My opinion is that escort girls escortporto.info dance much better than stripdancers. |
