Most people collect random things, so what's yours?
I collect coins and albums mainly.
You must consume a lot of bananas.
Well, where do you keep them?
In a book or on a wall? Perhaps a bench or table?
That's pretty cool, particular strips or the entire "funny" pages? (not sure what you guys call that page of the newspaper)
Edit: Shit, it just occured to me that you probably mean comic books.
In which case, any titles I would recognize? Superheroes and all that?
Well it differs, Most of the european strips didn't publish in the papers (like the "funnies" in the US) but in their own magazines wich published weekly or monthly. You would follow the adventure 3-6 pages per issue and then they would sell as a seperate album. Comics in papers have been/are mostly political satire over here, so if you want to read comics you buy the magazine or album. I think this comic scene is mainly a France, Belgium and Netherlands cultural phenomenon. For famous examples think Tin Tin, Lucky Luke and ofcourse Asterix and Obelix. Asterix is one of my favorites since i was a little kid. It combined history with good stories and humor
edit: forgot to say that the strips are mostly longer stories as well, like the Tin Tin addventure or Asterix and Obelix going somewhere. So stories of about 40-70 pages on A4 format like this.
Okay I think I get what you're talking about. That's pretty nifty though.
Do you still have your collection stashed In a box somewhere? I imagine some of those would be pretty interesting.
And holy crap. I completely forgot about Tin Tin and that scruffy little dog. And some bearded Norwegian sailor guy.
They did like Scooby Doo style adventures right?
(sort of drunk and remembering stuff from almost 20 years ago.)
I collect things that I think I'll need later. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but I'm glad I do it... until I can't find the forest for trees, so to speak.
No! I will not throw away the bread bag clip! You never know when I'll need it!
Vinyl and little drug bags.
I started keeping a few bags spare whenever I got some weed because some idiots sell it in tinfoil here. I never stopped and now I have a huge box full of them.
Oh man, I used to have a guy would sell it wrapped in a paper towel or newspaper. Whatever works I suppose.
Are they those little bags with designs on them?
I've done that before, although it sidnt start intentionally. We had a bad snow storm a few years back and they postponed garbage and recycle pick up for a few weeks.
The house of alcoholics that I lived in produced too many empty cans and bottles and we never got caught back up.
Eventually I had a couch shaped structure consisting of 66 six packs.
It was quite comfortable. But I always joked around that I would find some cushions for it.
It was surprisingly structurally sound for the most part.
Just make sure to rinse the bottles first, unless you enjoy the smell it slowly molding old beer.
