Does anyone collect anything strange, like do you have a jar full of ear wax you have accumulated for several years?

I collect Excel packs (sugarfree gum created by a company in Toronto, Canada). I have about 500 currently. I'll take a picture sometime.

I collect movie stubs from movies I've went to see in the theator. That way, when I'm bored, I can count how many I have and multiply that by $8.50 to find out how much money I've wasted.

Do you realize, that if they are $1.00 each, you've spent $500 of good money on it?

Even if they're only $.20 each, you've still spent $100 on it!

Do I really need to defend my collection for you?

The collection has been going on for about 8 years, and I buy about 5 packs of Excel a month, the others are what other people drop off.

I don't really collect things, they tend to just gather themselves. This includes computer parts, electronics parts and other stuff that "might be useful some day...".

hmm, I suppose you could say that I collect NICs. I have *counts mentally* 7, counting my onboard laptop and USB ones. I keep getting them for free with highspeed internet/from people who no longer have highspeed/etc. I've never paid for one.

I put the white cherry pack on top of the gray stack so you can get a perspective for how thick each pack is (about a millimeter).

This isn't the whole collection, these are just the ones close enough to my webcam to snap a picture.

Is that a cherry pig on top of the pig stack, for perspective? :p

Spht you are an odd... odd... individual.

Yeah, spht, that's a weird, sort of like obsessive compulsive collection. How'd you think to start that trashy collection?
February 28, 2004, 6:42 AM

... The collection has been on-going for about 8 years. Everyone I know chews Excel, it's very popular around here, so anytime someone's over they usually drop off packs that they've generously saved up for me.

Nice to know you all fear my collection though. What do I win, Grok? =)

Edit - You've inspired me to submit my collection to guinnessworldrecords.com, considering it's so amazingly unique.

Newby: Good one, hehe.
Hazard: You need to grow up one these weeks. I think we should be more concerned about you for being "grown up" and still acting stupid like that. I think more of Spht's collection then just anouther guy who collects the bottles of liquor he drank. Its nothing special, its barely worth noting. You can goto about 1/4 of the guys in North Americas houses for guys 21-25 and find the same damn thing.
Warz: Well... lol... You just have to ask yourself. Was it right to hide their panties before they left? Perhaps I need some help? Maybe I shouldn't do things just because they make me feel more sexy?
It might start out as just a good idea, but eventually you'll have to ask yourself those things, and why you enjoy doing it so much. You know we will support and welcome you in the forum no matter what, and you're not alone, despite the fact of being alone.

I have a coin collection and when I was younger I kept my Nintendo Power magazines fairly organized, but don't take either too seriously.

It started as a rubber duckies collection, but evolved to anything-duck collection ::). Everyone's name is Bruce, or relating to the name Bruce in some way or another (usually by referencing to Monty Python, sometimes it's people who really exist). If you're baffled at a certain name, ask:

btw, this is LQ and resized (blame Yoni :)). If anyone's interested in the full size picture (230KB), ask.

Add a link to the full sized one, if you want. Why are there 3 ducks that aren't called "bruce"?

I think bruce can be a nickname for people whith the names charles and micheal. I might be wrong though.
