I collect various mugs. If I find a coffee mug at the store that is cool or interesting, it's probably coming home with me. So now I ask you, what is the odd thing that you collect? If you are curious, I have a collection of over 30 mugs.

Although I do have to admit, I paid quite a bit for three dolls that included uncut paper doll books, which buy themselves, or at least $200 in my collectors guide.

Shows how much we (humans) appreciate our favorite poisons. Tobacco-related product packaging has also had pretty nice designs, especially in the past, and so did various historical vessels and implements for drug use ;)

Thank you. There are a few more but I rushed the collage! My late Mother's is the one with three talbot dogs, mine is the psychadelic one to the right, Dad got the prize from Sunday School and 'Great Aunt' Nina is Helena Hall, she had an earlier, more religious one which I think she designed while at school/collage, it's dated 1900 and she died when I was little in the late 1960's.

Hugh Walter (Submission author) 2 years ago
Mostly, yes. Some are very old, and this is only a sample I cobled together when I realised I could post something! I also have the original artwork for two of them and uncut etchings for the Helena Hall one, probably printed by Gordon Gill, brother of the now rather disgraced Eric, but, yes they are usually glued into a book, and while I only have a few, there are serious collectors who may steam them off, or buy and sell/swap loose ones?

It is very therapeutic and calming to hold them... just like with a support animal but a lot less trouble, ha!

Yes! Its more complicated and convoluted than the others, it's not hard to see why they didn't use it. Just like the ending of the movie April Fool's Day, which is very different and complicated than the filmed ending. Audiences didn't appreciate the "prank" ending, but I think they would have walked out on what happened in the book. (It would have also probably added a lot to the budget to get it on film). This is one of the main reasons why I love these books..it's like getting MORE movie. Or letting you see what's going on in Jason Voorhees mind. Or getting more of a characters background. I wasn't allowed to see these movies as a kid but I was allowed to read just about anything; I could read the novelization of a movie and get the gist of it in my head.

Yeah, as far as the picture goes, you should be glad that you will never pwn one. As a Swede, I have driven Volvos a lot in my life. But they are kind of bad. If you want a premium car (Volvo has pretended to compete with Mercedes, BMW and Audi since the 90's in my country), just buy a premium car.
