What Do You Collect?

Don't you think they added and changed too much stuff for the movies??

Very cool, Karen. I'm very much the same but for the horror genre. I like surrounding myself with the stuff: figures, bobble heads, books, memorabilia, games, you name it. I felt the same way (regarding the last Hobbit movie) when I saw Englund don the glove for the last time, and I suppose I'll feel even worse when Craven directs his last!

Expect The Silmarillion trilogy sometime in 2021






Yeah, I know, wishful thinking.

No, you bubble headed boobie...I said that Frank had bested you. I then edited it, because I know how fragile you are. I decided to include you, because I imagine that you are very lonely.

It's funny watching him make up his own definition of a "collection". It kind of makes you wonder why he's so afraid of having collections that he needs to create his own definition?


Note to Claude: The definition of a collection is to take things from various locations and put them in a single location.

And, as you already know....this entire discussion (after my first post) is just me, playing with you and Kurt. I thought about keeping it going, but it's pretty played out.

You could easily call my comics a collection. But I buy books to read, and for the content. Not just because of the author, or title. So, I really have a library, not a collection. And I regularly donate boxes of books (that I have read and won't read again) to the local library.

So, I don't see it as a collection at all. But if someone in real life, said "I like your collection of books", I wouldn't mention it. I just like playing with you and Kurt.


Stop talking to Riffle, about me. I can hear you, you know.

The dictionary said; the act or process of getting things from different places and bringing them together: a group of interesting or beautiful objects brought together in order to show or study them or as a hobby.

I didn't bring my books together. They are on separate shelves. I don't study the books as objects, but read the content. It isn't a hobby. It's part of my work. And.....I love messing with you.


PS; (added later). Originally, my post was talking about the "collecting impulse" or a need to collect. It's a strong need in many, and is used when marketing or selling. I have a collection of comics, but I never had the "desire to collect"(with these comics) I just had the desire to read the comics, and I ended up with boxes of comics. So, I have a comics collection (as random as it is), but I never collected comics, as an adult.

I guess you could also say I have a small collection of Superhero action figures. They are on display (although nobody cares except me), and I enjoy looking at them, so they fit the "collection" definition more closely. And when I bought them, I felt that collection impulse. The same with the Doc Savage books.

I seem to keep flipping from joking to being serious. The PS was serious.
