    I collect information on my computer: ebooks, articles, facts, history on origins of things that interest me, etc. An attempt at discovering and assembling virtually, a copy of aspects of present and past reality. Flawed no doubt, but an attempt, nevertheless at discovering what is and has been. Perhaps a response to an existential crisis.

    I also collect lint. Please send any lint contributions to the following address:

    Joke, you didn't really think i would give away my address and where i have my precious lint stored, did you?

    I collect candy bars from around the world.

    I collect photos of certain places.

    I of course collect books on biblical criticism.

    I used to keep every receipt or piece of paper I ever received. Lately I've been trying to toss them to make room for new stuff, so I've been scanning my old stuff and then tossing them. (Much more compact, and fire-resistent too)

    Here's other stuff I seem to have kept:

    • 1990 Sun Peep, unopened, for looking at eclipses through.
    • Decorative pieces from the facade of a 1920s bank building that was demolished.
    • A fairly large slab of talc from Death Valley
    • A lump of uranium; I've had that since 4th grade.
    • Some 1970s Sesame Street and Electric Company episodes.
    • Something I xeroxed long ago that I definitely should NOT HAVE
    • Autograph from the lead singer -- er, lead poseur -- of Milli Vanilli

    Need I go on?

    I collect Playboys.

    Why? Incase I ever have a son... I firmly believe it is every boys birthright to find his old-mans Playboy stash.

    I had the Endangered Species-Last of their Kind collector plates, but they were reduced to rubble when my daughter bumped into the unit that housed them and they all came crashing down. I had to replace one a year prior to that tragedy, due to the kids horsing around and knocking my Panda plate off, got that replaced through E-bay, only to lose it again with them all coming down.

    But I do have a major collection of swarovski crystal figurines that are safely displayed in our entertainment unit, that the kids can't break. Although I have to remember to "make note to self" not to play the stereo system too loud as the vibrating of the speakers caused my Kudo to shimmy off his stand fall over, break the tail off the crystal fox below it with damage to the Kudo's antler and tail Crazy glue fixed the problem, but I know their broken.

    hey black sheep, I could use some from the kiwis as well. Do you have a lot? Or can you get your hands on a few?
