Do you collect anything?

I am strawberry jelly, bro.

Sunburn is hype.

...he's no flashwing or sonic boom, though

[QUOTE="Booyakasha, post: 1491150, member: 17381"]Damn skippy. Like, on top of your Conans, I got into Howard's other biz, like Bran Mak Morn and Cormac Mac Art and all. The man was a real talent. I'm given to understand he was a close friend to HP Lovecraft-------you know, if he'd lived longer, he might easily have had the same influence on the fantasy genre that Lovecraft had on horror. Oh man, imagine another forty years' worth of Conan stories. Ugh. This crummy iteration of reality. Why couldn't I have been born in the alternate universe where Howard had written a jillion more books and the SW prequels had been rad and David Bowie was still releasing records.

Aside from Conan I have Solomon Kane tales and Kull: Exile of Atlantis. I'm really disappointed in how they keep f*cking up movies based on his work. Conan the Barbarian was okay, although half the time Arnold was just grunting with a German accent. I also laughed my ass off like I was high when he punched that horse (or was it a camel?).

'Conan the Barbarian' is an awesome movie------it's just a really bad Conan movie. Like, the tone and characterisation are pretty far off-base. I can't see the book version of Conan going on a big long quest for vengeance------he seemed way too pragmatic and enterprising for that.

Started collecting business cards this summer, got 200 on the first day and been grabbing them from wherever I go since,

Also video games sorta

And scooby doo stuff

Oh snap, I forgot I have a crap load of business cards. But I don't really see them as collecting. I just have them because I really like those places and keep them in case I need to remember a place.

comics and magnets

I thought of collecting magnets but I only have so much fridge space. I don't want to just keep 'em in a box. I want them shown.

95% of mine are all from places I have been. The other 5% are Corpse Bride, an old Korn magnet I got in high school, and other random ones.

Generally speaking, I am opposed to collecting because I am a minimalist and I generally throw away, give away or sell any items I don't have an absolute need or desire for. However, with that being said, I really enjoy collecting posters. They take up very little space, are often dirt cheap (especially online or at yard sales), and nothing makes a room more trippy and awesome than cool posters. When I get my own pad with my girlfriend, we're going to decorate the place with lots of the posters I've collected. I've managed to snag a few really old posters too, two of my favorites are one of a dog wearing sunglasses and hat+handkerchief, and another of a cat in between a cheeseburger, from 1997 and 1985 respectively. Snagged 'em for less than a dollar at a yardsale. So worth it.
