Well in a previous life I collected debts....for the mob...in that process I collected alot of pinky fingers from folks that needed a little incentive to pay their debts...I froze the pinkies and kept them in my freezer, at one point I had almost six dozen...but as I say that was a previous life, when I left the business I gave the collection to my replacement. I've heard he has since added to the collection and also sold one to some strange people that worked at Wendy's. I'm pretty sure he got in trouble for that one...stupid move.

| movies, of course. Women, when I can get 'em. Memories, but I lose some. I gather wool some days. I collect dust on occasion. Never collected for the mob, but I suppose I'm too old to start now. |

dvd's of course 800+ in my collection.
laughs from my kids..(always brightens my days)
that's about it.
I'm an old man I got everything I need, why collect more stuff, I'd have to buy a bigger house to put the stuff in...then it would seem bare so I'd have to fill it up with stuff...then I'd have to buy a new house again to fit all the stuff in....it's a never ending circle....
cheers

I've got quite a few golf balls.... I started buying a golf course "logo" ball every time I golfed somewhere new with my dad and I'm really glad I did.
Recently I seem to be collecting new body aches. It seems that when I reached the big 50, my warranty expired!

| after unpacking a few more boxes...i'm come to realize that i also collect STEPHEN KING novels. I have about 30 hardbacks. I guess that counts as a collection. he's the only person that i've ever read that was able to keep my attention...so his are the only books i buy. |

LOL, yeah sometimes I wonder what I could get if I sold my comics. I don't ever plan on getting rid of them, but it sure is getting harder to store them
