what do you collect?

[fracksfreakshow]

ok here frack sits bored out of his mind. just curious if anyone has any thing they collect out there. fracks going to start it off with one of his more proud collections. frack collects his fingernails and toenails after he clips them off. anyone else got anything interesting, or not interesting. don't think it is all just coins, stamps, and rocks on p.net, but if so let's know.

HIGH! FRACK!

Well I collect stilt stuff. Historical photos and info on stilt performing: world record info, crossing Niagra Falls on stilts, etc. And stilts of course. I've got peg stilts, Dura stilts, Bigfoot stilts, Power Skips, hand held stilts ! Going to the Texas State Fair in Dallas to meet the Belgium stilt troupe. They use a different variety of hand held stilt.

I also have accumilated several dozen tshirts from all the races I have done on stilts: 5K , 10K, and the Dublin Ireland Marathon (twice!)

Regarding toe nails, I kept the four toenails I lost training for the first Dublin marathon. All black and deformed. Thought they would make nice earings! ;&gt [img]wink.gif[/img]

High on life!

I don't collect any dead and discarded body parts, save perhaps my girls' baby teeth and the occasional lock of hair.

I do collect "Akuabaa", wooden figures largely from the Ashanti and Adinkra tribe collectives. These figures depict the image of each tribe or sub-tribe's version of beauty. They're intended to be carried by pregnant women, as a talisman to ensure their child is born healthy, undeformed, and ideally, fair-of-face. It seems to me that each unique figure contains the hopes and future dreams of the family for each unique child.

Oh, and my street art collection, though formative, is growing.

Hey, Jim, that begs a question - any thoughts on creating a virtual gallery on p.net? Could be used to mount single-artist shows, theme shows, the assemblages of individual collectors, and on and on. Might also be a monumental amount of work, I realise. Just curious.

There are a few things in the works for performers.net right now. Once my season comes to a grinding halt in late October, I expect to start working on several new performers.net sections. Hang tight.

P.S. As for collections, I collect white plastic DUBE American Clubs with round knobs. If anyone out there has any, please contact me. I pay top dollar for good ones.

Weebles. Those eggshaped childrens toys that were taken off the market, since children were choking to death on them. Also known to wobble, but never fall down, due to the lead implanted in their bottems. If you have some hidden in an old toy box, let me know I try to barter for them. Especailly the treehouse hippy ones.

I'm very compulsive about buying movies on DVD.
I like collecting random things people throw in my tip hat. A pez dispencer, drugs, a tampon, condoms, floss, phone numbers, small toys, and unwanted children. I gave most of my collection away when I left boulder though.
And I really like promo stuff for live shows/events and performers I know. I have some really cool flyers, posters, buisness cards, and even trinkets, (like an Avner the Clown kazoo). I'm gonna go see Wilco in concert tonight, and I will have stuff for them to autograph.

Song lyrics.
Written, thought, spoken, ...ideas.....
collected over yeeeeeeeears.
A few turn into songs,
majority are parasites hanging out in my head, house, heart, until inspiration moulds perfection, grabs me by the balls, makes sense of it all, der, and turns half written scrappy notes into an inspirational song lyric....
or not.

Hey Frack, why didn't you mention your other collection? You know, the one in the plastic bottle?

[fracksfreakshow]

just due to minors on the page that frack don't want to corrupt. but everyone who meets frack in person hears aboot it.

I have a comic book collection that I've built up over the last 25 years. It fills most of a small bedroom.
