adillon Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 when it comes to collecting strange 'stuff' i've seen just about everything under the sun ... but i'm NOT talking about run-of-the-mill items like coins, stamps, etc ... i'm talking just plain weird obsessions with the accumulation of junk. for me, it's beer bottles ... the crazier and more different the better. my only rule is that each and every one i must actually drink. it all started with a 6-pack of Chili Beer ... it had an actual chili pepper floating in it. i needed a beer after i drank that one just to ease the pain. there are no generic, domestic beers in my collection either. each and every one is from a micro-brewery or from a limited run from one of the bigger breweries. besides Chili Beer, i have Dead Guy Ale, Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic, Old Fezziwig Ale, Lahaina Ale (direct from maui), just to name a few. but trust me, the list can go on. so i ask, do you collect something? and if so, would you consider it a 'main-stream' collection, or is it something different?

Surfnshannon Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 i've been collecting those new care bears that came out.... are those mainstream collectable items... okay something wierd... nope i'm normal. But i've saved every game system i've every owned...i don't know why but I have everything from atari to ps2. and the beer bottles...you should get one of those "beers around the world" things. I got one for my fiance and his brother when he turned 21. I also got my fiance a huge magnum Heiniken bottle for christmas. he tried that cranberry sam adams...he hated it...there are still some bottles in my cabinet. Costco had a box set of Sam Adams stuff at christmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 My stuff Ranges from M*A*S*H to Star Wars/Trek to Lord of the Rings. HOWEVER, my pride and joy is my Blade collection. (Blades, not the movie) I have 2 swords and 2 daggers, but I am always on the lookout for good blades. I'm not intending to use these to kill people, I just like the looks of um.

Pisces Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I have a variety of knives/ blades as someone up there said. I tend to keep most things that held value to me at one time, I rarely throw out any older toys (like my first Nintendo) or whatever, they just go in a box in the basement.

nova_wolf Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Had a C64 when was young (don't play it now), and collected games for that - nigh on 400 from just my games. With my sisters and sharing games, we clocked over 500 games! Collected Final Fantasys for the PSX at one point. And now I collect SW books - I am trying to get a full set, and am not far of doing so. Oh - and LucasArts classics - The Dig, Full Throttle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not intending to use these to kill people, I just like the looks of um. Funny you should say that Ob's! I have two indian sabres and a pair of custom built curved swords (similar to a scimitar). I also have built a chainmail shirt from scratch. I really love anything medievil\ancient. Other than that, I really have to say that I am a genuine pack-rat. I have an awfull amount of useless stuff lying all over the place, ranging from Alien (the movie) figurines to plain old lengths of fibre optics. Im sure I have a ball of pocket lint here as well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way, dude I try to get a ride to the rennasance festival every year in Atlanta, Georgia. I went once and it was AWESOME. They had stuff like Knight Duels and Jousting. I loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Slayne Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Yeah I was trying to get work as an armourer for a place here in Australia call Kryal Castle (spelling?). The guy who runs it really wanted me working there, he just couldn't pull in enough tourists for it to be worth while. What a bummer I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
