    Default Weird things you collect?

    Hey I just thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else collects weird things, or in my case things that are not weird but aren't something you would consider collectible at all.
    For me its generators. I just bought my sixth one off eBay, damned if I know why I need six generators but I guess at least I never have to worry about losing power.
    So does anyone else collect something strange?
    Four commodores and counting.

    Should I admit to this?

    John Wayne movies.

    He made about 160 films - I have all but about thirty of his earliest stuff.

    Tragic, just tragic.

    I collect phone books




    I don't really but I thought it would be something absurd enough to be worth collecting for someone

    I collect many things. The dumbest one of them all is Linux Distributions packed neatly into individual sleeves made out of A4 paper.... yeah go figure.

    i collect computer parts,
    random electronic stuff like old stereos, speakers,
    -truck batteries (which i put into the boot of my old vn, so it became a portable sound system for parties, prettymuch so i didnt have to worry about a flat battery for the starter)
    and i wouldnt mind another generator

    and also collected sweatbands for a while when i was like 16, have heaps! like bands and stuff i was into, dont mind them :Pstill wear one from time to time.
    used to keep all my metcards, but threw them out after a while, had too many! plus i drive now so dont really add to it :P
    what other useless shit.
    OH! nice alcohol bottles, if i or a parent has a drink with a nice bottle, ill often keep it, peel off the stickers, like bombay saphire, jager, the midori company bottles, any bottle thats different, use them for water n stuff, looks good

    Easy man, just need to drill a breather hole in it so air flows through, using some diamond tip burs aka glass drilling bits. Good thing is you don't have to worry about the ash as it drops to the bottom of the bottle. I just use an alligator clip to hold the stick from the top and pop it inside.
