Subject: What do you collect/or whats your hobby?

Written By: Fred on 07/14/04 at 3:43 am

I frame and hang records on the wall. This is a new idea that came to me, while listening to them. Since my Dad won't let me hang any of his hundreds upon hundreds of albums, I go out and buy my own. Currently I only have Pink Floyd: The Dark Side Of The Moon (which was an amazing find considering it is in mint condition), and the The Doors: Greatist Hits.

Monkeys. The best one I have is a punked out monkey that Midas sent me for my birthday from Build A Bear. :)

I also collect books and cd's. The books are getting out of hand though. I'm running out of room. :o

I collect old WWF hasbro action figures, amateur wrestling magazines, and any Halloween movie memoribila that I can get my hands on.

I don't know what you'd really call my hobbies, I run when I feel like it and I lift weights when I feel like it. I enjoy lifting weight quite a bit.

I'm into writing scripts, I haven't done so in a while because right now I'm writing a book.

I also belong to a crap load of message boards, because I love talking with people. It's a rather ironic thing because I love being around people yet I also like to be by myself a whole lot.

I also make NCAA Division One wrestling predictions all the time,  I'm the biggest NCAA D I wrestling fan that ever lived.

One more thing I listen to music all the time! I spent about 8 hours recording CD's and Cassettes on to Blank Cassettes to listen to on road trips.  No I didn't do it all at once!  It was over a course of time.

I also write my own paraodies! I posted a few as Volcan (another name I go by) on these boards but I haven't posted them in a long while.

Wow! Are they the really old ones from 1989 or so? I have about 40 of those (I am missing a couple here and there) and the old wrestling ring that came with the American Flag for no real good reason. We have lost the flag since but the ring is still in tact and it's had a busy lifespan in over 10 years.

Modified because I forgot to add what I collect (silly me). I collect wrestling videos, comic book annuals, DVDs, 'Now that's what I call music' compilations and old 80s music videos.

I collect bookmarks from places I've visited and a set of schoolgirl story books by a particular author.  I mainly buy them from secondhand shops and car boot slaes.  Unfortunately I've got most of the more common ones so now its getting expensive!

Make yourself go, that's what I do. On the other hand I love lifting weights. I don't do it too look good, but I like the fact that it does make me look better. I mostly do it because it takes my mind off of things and I like being strong. By the way I'm going to learn professional wrestling, so lifting weights will help with that.

I have been collecting baseball cards since I was seven years old; I now have over 6,000 cards, including complete sets of 1987-1991 Topps (and '93 Topps as well). Mostly I have cards from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

I also collect "I Love Lucy" videos; I'm a big fan of that show. Lately I haven't been able to find any more, mostly because every place is now selling DVD's, and we don't have a DVD player in our house!

There are other things I collect, but they're too numerous to mention here.

Oh yeah, I forgot.  My biggest hobby is C&R fishing.  I don't need to catch anything, I just enjoy being out, casting and enjoying the outdoors.

I remember watching 'I love Lucy' on Channel 4 in the morning. It always gave me a chuckle before I went to school. How many videos do you have?

Bobby - I'm not sure how old they are I still buy them to this day.  A guy out in Rhode Island someone got a hold of a lot of left over toys and merchandise from the old days which includes all sorts of things including that from the professional  Wrestling era. My figures are hard and plastic and only about one part of their body does something special. I'm 19 years old and I still collect toys.  I'm glad that a part of me refused to grow up, real glad.

Well, I don't know exactly how many tapes I have, but I do have about 60 of the episodes (that's approximately one-third of the whole series), including box sets of the California trip and the European trip. I've been collecting them for over ten years now. :)

That sounds about right, Harmonica. I have figures which do that punch where the arm is attached to a spring and you pull it back and let go (Jake Roberts had that move called 'a python punch') and some figures do allow you to pull their arm back which when released does a 'clothesline' (an old 'Machoking' Randy Savage figure).

Growing up is an acceptance to confirm to society. I embarrass my girlfriend with my childlike stupidity sometimes but I would rather be like that than an uptight stuffy who takes things way too seriously.  :)

I think I have answered this before. I think it is a matter of what DON'T I collect? lol


Anyway, my list:

Money  ;D(Coins/currency-foriegn and demestic)
Magnets
Tee Shirts
Books
CDs/tapes/records (but tapes and records I am not active in collecting anymore-only if I see something that I MUST have that I can't get on CD)
Videos/DVDs (Again, now I only get Videos if I can't get it on DVD)
I stopped collecting cat figurines because I ran out of room
I also stopped collecting matchbooks-but I still have my old collection-including one for Air Force 2.
I also save all the cards and letters I recieve (since I was about 12 or so-I may have a few from earlier).


Just call me a packrat.  ;D
