HOW MUCH LONGER DO I NEED TO WAIT BEFORE WE DISCUSS WHO COLLECTED BEANIE BABIES AND IF THEIR PARENTS WON'T LET THEM SELL THEM AND SO NOW THEY HAVE 300 BEANIE BABIES IN THEIR PARENTS BASEMENT???
I still have my Beanie Babies. My grandmother went CRAZY and bought a million for my sister and I.
Honestly I still like a fair amount of them. The owl is a nice looking fellow. And a tie-dye bear? C'mon, that's awesome. They all hang out in a trunk in the basement. I assume they'll stay there until I have kids or someone more deserving asks for them.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I collected Pogs for a hot minute back in the day, 'til I went up against one or two kids with the Cadillac of slammers. RIP my Pog collection.
I used to have a whooolle heap of Ghostbusters gear 'til my mum decided to chuck 90% of it because she thought I was too old. What I would do for that firehouse, Ecto 1, or proton pack, trap, and PKE meter. At this point I would even settle for a few action figures; the only thing I've seen since the '90s is the Mr Stay Puft stuffed doll.
Excluding books, movies, and music, the only thing I collect these days are ticket stubs. Mostly concerts, some movie stubs, a few festival wristbands, a couple boarding passes, and other odds and ends like museum tickets or ferry tours. I'm thinking it's about time to move them from the Ziploc to a frame.
This guy is currently sitting on a bookcase in my home office. He was in a box my brother brought me from my Grandma's house. He's yours if you want him.
All you guys and your weird collection fetishes are awesome.
Freaks.
I like rocks. Anyone else?
When I was 12 I won a 4H ribbon at the county fair for my rock collection.
That's awesome. Damn, I am starting to feel like a pack rat, I have a seashell collection too. I got some really great ones too and my man-child always brings me home from the beach. I really need to start reevaluating some of the shit I have in my house.
At my geology field camp in college, we all took advantage of the flat rate shipping offered by USPS.
"What's in this box to make it so heavy, rocks?"
"Yes sir."
I know this a triple post and I don't care.
Geodes?
Never came across any geodes in the field. Just a bunch of random stuff. The one I remember most and still have out on my dresser is a cool painted sandstone that's broken in the middle letting you see the cross section. Just really cool layering. Plus some pieces with decent size garnets in them.

That's what I like about them. They tell a story through the layers. If you know how to read it. We are talking sedimentary, though.
And the best part is they are unrepeatable. The pressures and stresses to make a rock are singular to that place and that time. Even if it isn't investigated for millennia.
You probably know better than most, given your field of work.
I liked to buy rocks from the Natural Wonders stores that were in every mall I went to as a kid. It was nerdy Spencer's. Only store I knew of where you could buy the stuff in cans that made fart noises right next to a poster of the periodic table. RIP Natural Wonders.
That was where I'd always gravitate towards when I was in the mall. They really did have some cool things. Didn't realize they went under
So I was just looking out my door because the mail man threw something onto the porch and there was a truck riding by and the driver either tased or attempted to tase someone in the back seat.
Oh my God I tried for so long to think of the name of Natural Wonders the other day. Thank you, billybaroo. I loved playing with the rain sticks in there.

OMG! I totally forgot about that store. I loved that place. They had one in the Riverwalk here. RIP, you were not missed until you were.
I totally stole a rock from the Nice beaches and a piece of a bunker in Normandy when I went to France in high school. I think they're still at my parents house somewhere. Also related to rocks, I took Geology as an easier lab requirement in college and LOVED it. It also helped that the professor dropped your lowest exam grade. One exam was the day after St Pattys day. I decided to not study and skip the exam- still aced the class. (I should also mention that I am relatively good girl and rarely skipped class, so this was both an exception and an extreme)

When I was a kid I had this really, really nice flat rock. Nice and big, just the way I like 'em. Great for skipping stones. I was young, and not proficient at skipping stones yet, so I told myself I would hold onto it until I was better. And I kept that rock for years. YEARS. Just waiting for the day when I would consider myself good enough to skip this motherfucker for miles. So I practiced, and practiced, and practiced, whenever I was around a body of water. Eventually I reached the point where I could get several skips out of most rocks, so I considered myself ready.
Then I realized that I was 24, and after living in a jillion places over the course of the past few years, I had lost the rock. And I haven't seen a rock quite like it since. I'm still not quite over it.

All you guys and your weird collection fetishes are awesome.
Freaks.
I like rocks. Anyone else?
in addition to the tags and fruit snacks, i also started "rock club" with my friends. i would use the fax machine at the rental office for our housing plan to send newsletters to the other members. i repeat, i used microsoft publisher to make a newsletter about rocks, which i then faxed to my friends...

Other than baseballs and movie stubs I never really collected anything of interest. But in college I did manage to amass a 50 bag collection of the ultra gross Sabritones.
