What do you collect? - Page 7

**Rain Man** · 09-30-2004, 11:55 AM

I collect:

1. world globes (small collection, because I'm trying to limit myself to one per decade for space purposes)
2. t-shirts from foreign countries, but only if I go to the country
3. refrigerator magnets from any place I travel

I'm starting a fledgling pen collection, too, but only have a few. Pens are cool. I keep threatening to start a salt and pepper shaker collection because they're cheap and there are a lot of fun and creative ones out there, but my wife is wary that they'll take up too much room.

I've also got a decent collection of books.

And a lot of Chiefs stuff.

And a few guns.

Put your collection online on www.dvdprofiler.com helps me keep track of my 300+ dvds.

It's not that big a deal to me.

Let me guess:

The Sands of Aruba Jima (1949) - John Wayne becomes a forerunner of the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello beach films.

The Man Who Shot Sean Penn (1962) - John Wayne plays a rough-and-tumble member of the paparazzi.

True Grit (1969) - Perhaps Wayne's second-greatest acting mistake, this was a light comedy where Wayne portrayed a bumbling stay-at-home husband who battled a particularly difficult bathtub ring.

Cahill, United States Auditor (1973) - Wayne portrayed an IRS auditor sent to check the books of a cattle rustler who was terrorizing a small town.

The Shootist (1937) - Wayne's greatest acting mistake, this gay porn classic took place when he was a starving actor at the beginning of his career.

I collect positive rep, too.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

I created an Access database, and there is a website I go to that releases a CSV file about once a month that catalogs all the new releases. Right now I only have a couple of tables, but I could do an entire cross-linked database with multiple tables and categories, and put it on a SQL server I take care of at work. That would be cool.

I collect:

1. Clothes...nice clothes.
2. Shoes....really nice shoes.
3. Im starting to sound like a girl....so Im gonna pretend....I collect the underwear of the women I have slept with.

**Skip Towne** · 09-30-2004, 06:13 PM

John Wayne was offered the role of Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. He turned it down for fear it would typecast him. Pretty funny.

Yeah, that No. 3. I do that too.

**Rain Man** · 09-30-2004, 06:17 PM

What a coincidence. John Wayne also collected really nice clothes, really nice shoes, and the underwear of women he slept with.

I don't want to nitpick, but a merkin technically isn't underwear.

I know someone that needs to hook up,and only $30,ha!! I also know someone that got RIPPED off.

Books, DVDs...

My collection is relatively small compared to most. I've got about 50 now. I was getting a bunch of Woody Allens, but then MGM sold their stockpile to Sony so I'm gonna wait and see how that comes out.

DeNiro's...Scorsese's....

I also have a nice stack of refrigerator magnets to all the cool places I've been.
