i collect a few things. Pub memromelia is good. Nowt like lifting a few glasses and beer mats i have even managed to get myself a nice stool. those little mats on the bar are nice too i have one of them to protect my bedside table.

Knoming is good fun as well at one point we have pinched 200 odd knomes from the local area which was kinda fun

we got on ceefax and everything.

I collect a lot of things: stamps, semi-precious rocks, ordinary pebbles (from places where I've been), feathers and quotes. I used to collect little boxes but that stopped since the drawer where I kept them in became full. Seeing the fact that both my two bookcases are stacked with two rows of books and that I have to move books to the library downstairs on aregular basis, I guess I collect books as well.

Oh yes, and I also collect the soap and shampoo that's laid out in hotel bathrooms. I enjoy using the shampoo for uses it was meant for and then re-using the bottles

3) Were you eating popcorn while your beeyatch "did it" with her dog?

Lizra · 08-26-2002, 09:09 AM

I wondered about this too....(not the popcorn part)..how did your dog make that pillow? ha ha! or maybe, Your dog has a dog?, or was this some kind of typo?

beeyatch!!? What's this strange lingo?

Well, you could also spell it "beech". Then you'd be.......German?

Why don't you do what I'm doing right now: I'm fantasizing about two chicks having an argument, one of them being an American, the other German.

American: Beeyatch!
German: Beech!
American: Beeyatch!
German: Beech!
American: Beeyatch!
German: Beech!

Ha ha ha ha.

Isn't the word "bitch"?

Elbereth · 08-26-2002, 10:37 AM

Rana Eressea, do you collect any books in particular? I am at present trying to find a way to earn enough money to buy a used copy of D'Aulaires Norse Gods and Gaints, hardcover, it is out of print. I need about $100. One of my favorite books is this dictionary I have, a really big dictionary, published in 1927 with great drawings and quotes from poems to illustrate definitions.

I collect wolf stuff.

Draken · 08-26-2002, 09:56 PM

Rather tragically, I collect dice. I blame D&D. I've got D4s, D6s, D8s, D10s, D12s, D20s and one D50. See through ones, wooden ones, metal ones, slate ones, soapstone ones, one made of bone, weighted ones, very big ones, very tiny ones, D6s where the opposite numbers don't add up to 7, averaging dice, colour dice, random dungeon generation dice, dice with a skull instead of a 1, a jade die, a carnelian die, a haematite die, an amber die, dice with 6 on each face, dice to decide what drink to have next, poker dice, football dice, chocolate dice, dice to decide which French TV channel to watch, round dice, backgammon dice, crown and anchor dice, letter dice. And probably a few I've forgotten.

If you've got unusual dice to get rid of, by all means message me!

Lizra · 08-26-2002, 10:20 PM

Well Draken, You sound like you've got the Good Old Time collecting spirit! Do you "display" your collection? (this is the best part, "The Display"

)

Draken · 08-27-2002, 09:01 AM

My favourites are in a display cabinet that used to hang on the stairway wall - not at the moment due to very slow redecorating, but they'll be back there one day!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 08-28-2002, 11:57 AM

I collect swords and knives and other such things. Don't have much yet, but I hope to have a big collection eventually

The Ringbearer · 08-28-2002, 10:29 PM

I used to collect Pokemon cards, but now I can't seem to get rid of them.

Now I collect the LotR game cards (just for the pics; I don't play the game) and I WAS collecting the movie cards until they suddenly disappeared from the stores! I only need 4 more......

I collect anything LotR related, pretty much.

Erawyn · 08-29-2002, 12:05 AM

I collect old horse books, or i'd like to anyways i only have maybe 6 that i got for a couple pounds each in this used book store in Endinburgh, but some are pretty old. I also have a lot of horse models, although i have just accumulated those over time, i don't actively collect them! and i would collect postcards if i'd ever been anywhere, right now i just wait for ppl to mail them to me!

markedel · 08-29-2002, 07:43 AM

I used to collect warhammer models, but it got overly expensive.

Urksnik the Sleek · 08-29-2002, 03:35 PM

Dragons! I love 'em and collect dragon statues. I've got two display cabinets full, including some gorgeous snowglobe ones. The only ones I don't like, are cartoonish type dragons.

Lizra · 08-29-2002, 04:05 PM

I guess you don't like "Dragontales"!

It's pretty bad!
