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. [Reply]

I hear he still has his dear old mum's merkin in a box.

My voice escalates in guilt over clothing choices, as I try to slam the conversation back to why we have all the stupid grunting sweating Ultimate Fighting, Girls Gone Wild, Naked Bum Fights DVDs. AND Showgirls. Which prompts the whole 'I work 200 hours a week with a broken back, a broken thumb, and I can spend our money however the fuuck I want'. Then I leave to go buy a new dress. [Reply]
