Re: Collections
Kitchen utensils...though most of them get used a few times before coming as decorations to our mini cabinet section in the garage. Old war games, some music though that has gotten stale for me.
Memories...lots of those, but I seem to have lost a few of them lately. Darn.

Yeah, I know what you mean all too well. The one invention I would willing pay tons of money for would be a sort of built-in hard drive for the brain, so I could store all of the memories I have of everything I've done and seen. It's sad how much we forget throughout our lives.

Re: Collections
For awhile, I used to collect all of the bottle caps from the water bottles I would buy and drink during marching band rehearsals. I used to draw stinky cheese on them with Sharpie to label them as mine. Anyway, I decided it was weird and I threw them all away.
I collect coins, but I'm not going to spend a whole bunch of money to buy some super rare coin that served as a five-cent piece in 1798 or whatever. If I happen to find a coin I like, I keep it.
I collect Snick's fur whenever I brush her. This collection sits in my trash can for up to a week until cleaning day comes and I dump it. lol I've thought about using it to stuff dolls if I could ever be bothered to sew one, but that would be kind of weird, plus it'd probably trigger my allergies since it's full of dander.

Only specific ones or just any old kiss?

El vino viene cantando desde la tierra,
baja del cerro hecho agua,
y en una raíz se queda,
y sube por una camino que se llama enredadera,
parra, parrón, vid, mil hojas, verde sombra o como quieras.

Re: Collections
- Music CD's in the hard rock/heavy metal genre. I have about 3500 of them.
- Ornamental crocodiles (kaymans/alligators/etc). Do you have any idea how hard they are to find? (At least around here in Sweden where they are exotic, probably easier to find where crocodiles create tourism). I haven't worked seriously on this for a long time, and I don't have many. But they include a metallic cigarette lighter (looks like bronze) where the fire comes out of the croc's mouth. A very nice looking wooden crocodile table toothpick holder. A key ring. A noisy squeeze toy. A real stuffed baby crocodile (illegal to possess I hear). Various toy/rubber crocs.
- Different poker chips.

That's certainly an impressive collection, EchoMan If you don't mind me asking, why crocodiles?

It started out as a joke a long time ago, when I had a habit of dropping lightning fast, snappy punchlines whenever anyone said anything. I still do this but more rarely as some people find it annoying. (Some people huh...? ). Anyway, one particular friend thought I reminded her of a crocodile, and she gave me a porcelain one for my birthday, as a joke. I found it very funny, so every time I saw an ornamental or toy crocodile I bought it, and put it on the shelf with that first one.

Re: Collections
I begin to believe I've got an addiction for multitools/swiss army knives/pocket knives. Don't have that many yet, but then again, I don't have the addiction for too long, too
Ah well, guess everyone has to be addicted to something, right?
