My first collections were little ceramic figurines, keychains and fairytale books (only the ones with illustrations in them that I liked). I've graduated to carved jade, weapons (I really want to add a few Blunderbusses to my hoard, god I love those things!) and it would seem, a good many books with the AVATAR Press logo on them. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10550#Comment_10550 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10550#Comment_10550 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:22:05 -0800 Randy74

The goal is to use them, not horde them, although people do that too.

Stored properly, they're good to go decades after their manufacture. I have motors dating to 1972 or so that I wouldn't hesitate to "burn."

Sometimes you just need a B14-0 to get a model moving.

Yes, I am a nerd. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10554#Comment_10554 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10554#Comment_10554 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:44:23 -0800 Unsub
I would love a Blunderbuss but am probably going to get a Martini Henry rifle first. There was a battle a few miles from my house that was quite important to Canadian history called
the Reil rebellion or Metis(French indian halfbreeds) and the Martini Henry was used by the Canadian elite troops.
Here is a photo of a Canadian rifleman in green (like Sharpe) but with a Snider.

I also collect comics usually pamphlets but I have a growing collection of TPB's.

I also have a couple motorbikes , A Honda 919 ,a 78 CB350 cafe(in progress but almost done) and a new Kawasaki KFX450 sport Quad.

Though a particular crazy hoarding behavior is I buy RPGs to read even though I have barely played one since I was an Undergrad (ie, 8-9 years ago).

The ultimate in anti Zombie weapons using The Zombie survival guide ,World War Z for what works would be a world war 1 and 2 battle rifle with a sword bayonet. You can't use full auto weapons because that makes for animated zombie heads as dangerous as landmines so what you need are accurate head shots. The Sword bayonet gives you a very useful close quarters weapon.
I like the SMLE Enfield because it holds 10 shots and has a fantastic bayonet but a Garand is semiauto and holds 8 30-06 rounds.

After a few weeks of arguing with JTraub like the after the apocalypse odd couple I would pray to be eaten by a zombie.

My copy of Harlan Ellisons DeathBird stories one of those books I reread every couple years. I am still annoyed you can't get nuke powered sports cars (Yet). ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10579#Comment_10579 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10579#Comment_10579 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:30:41 -0800 Necros

One is in English (signed), one in Russian (also signed - probably the only signed Russian copy in existence), and one in Japanese.

I am getting more flashlights than I could possibly ever need. At least I don't have quite as expensive a taste in those as knives.
The Fenix lights are great and cheap. I just got a new one Called an Ultrafire WF-C6 with the amazing Cree LED.
It is stainless steel so it matches my stainless Spyderco police and Fuck Communism zippo. It throws as much light as a big 3 Dcell maglight
and only cost 30$. Unfortunatly it burns through an expensive CR123 lithium in about 2 hours.

I got y FC zippo after Preacher but before Y the last man. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10607#Comment_10607 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10607#Comment_10607 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:31:20 -0800 Gypsy
@unsub - Sounds like you have an astounding collection! I have an antique khukuri from Tibet, an antique, bone-hilted, ceremonial knife from Turkey, an nice set of 8" throwers, but I found some small 3" blades for throwing that I like a lot better so, those are next on my list of knives. Otherwise, I have a Browning longbow, a recurve, an 8' redwood staff, a cocobolo boken, a bullwhip, a 4' sjambok...and I think this list could go on and on as well.

@ KitsuneCaligari - You live on a boat...Cool! Do you like it? What kind? I've wanted to give that a try since, wow, I don't remember; forever, maybe. I worked on a small ship up in Norway for a bit, but, due to scale, I don't imagine there are all that many similarities... ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10631#Comment_10631 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10631#Comment_10631 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:05:47 -0800 munin218 Beads (they dont stay with me long, though. I make jewelry for friends, since i rarely wear any of it myself)
I used to collect tarot decks.... still have quite a few. My Amano deck is probably the one i went through the most trouble to get...
Watches. Every so often I need a new one. Just because.
People. I have the neatest little collection of strange friends and acquaintences. ;P
Very unique jewelry pieces...

Ditto. I have probably about twenty corebooks and at least as many sourcebooks, but I haven't seriously played a game in about two years. I read them for the stories and worlds created, especially the White Wold games.

I also seem to accumulate, not so much collect, little show models of planes, everything from F-16s to A300s. Probably have about thirty of those arrayed on the 'tarmac' on my desk - it's only purpose.

And any book about writing, though they are all pale reflection of On Writing, by Stephen King. Don't know how many of those I have, but I can say that probably 75% of them I've never read - I just sorta have them. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10634#Comment_10634 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10634#Comment_10634 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:34:30 -0800 Z
I'm curious, which ones did you find painful? I'd only read 'Fight Club' (and sort of mumbled, yeah, great book, then never reread it). Got a couple of them for Xmas, so I'm wondering which ones to start with.

* * *

Er, and so I don't derail the thread, um.. I collect signed comics, cds (I don't own an MP3 player, or an iTunes account), and salt (yes, salt).

That's hair. Specifically, dog fur, scraped and combed off of my Belgian sheepdog:



Why? There are places that will turn dog hair into wool. Well, yarn, although they'll also turn it into souvenirs or clothing if there's enough of it.

Video games, not as much as I used to and I sold off a lot. I might have a 100 compared to over 300 at one point.

I collect a lot of other do dads related to those hobbies but I am running out of room currently to do anything with them. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10639#Comment_10639 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10639#Comment_10639 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:14:25 -0800 Fractal http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10642#Comment_10642 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=430&Focus=10642#Comment_10642 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:50:47 -0800 Unsub Coupland has a couple of really unhappy books as well. They are not so much poorly written as being of painful
subject matter.

I love weapons ,I have ever since I was a kid. I am sure part of my love is because my parents banned all GI Joe type toys, making them ever so interesting.

Kim I love the sound of your collection. Kukuris are one of my favourites because of the history especially the Gurkas but also a lot of Canadian WW1 and WW2 and even recent snipers use them as bush tools and CQB weapons. The Tora Tora forum from the UK has both real Nepalese kukris for sale and some f the best martial arts experts and collectors in the field. They also do a lot of good for the people making the knives in Nepal and retired Ghurkas. They also do training in England with retired Gurkas.

My latest obbsesion is fur trade and 7 year war(which lasted 9 years) weapons. I don't have any yet other than a late 18th century butcher knife but I will probably start making some repros myself. I also tend to collect tools and especially antique hand tools. I am lucky to live way in the boonies where you can still find great stuff at pawn shops etc.

I also have a crapload of army surplus gear especially winter survival gear. I am actually wearing the awesome wool inner booties from my canuk mukluks.
The wool inners are the ultimate warm winter slippers.

@ munin218 - Beads...I like beads. I make jewelry, too, so I never really looked at all the beads I have as a collection, but they and all the findings certainly do take up a lot of space. Dust...shhhh, the bunnies under the sofa might get offended and bite someone's head off if I mention that they're made of dust.... ]]>
