Kevin and I went around the house and counted how many calendars we have and the final count was 24! :eek: All our days are numbered. Does anyone else have any interesting collections? We also have quite a large Beatle related items collection.

I'm not a calendar collector(was when I was little), but I'm a freak about time, the calendar, related trivia and little known facts, etc.

I think it's like having cheap art around the house. Or that's what I tell myself. We always have every Beatles calendar available, one from the original series of Star Trek, and I'm fond of WWII aircraft, so we have a couple of those.

If you're really into interesting bits of trivia you should check out the "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" series. I think I have 19 of them now.

omg! I've got like 5 of the "Big John's Bathroom Reader" books.
Those books are so awesome. They're the source of all my useless knowledge!

Wow that is a lot of calendars. Hmm as I look around I have... well nothing to equal your calendars. I am sad now.

That's ok you can always buy more next year. I even have a Dark Shadows calendar that I get every year from the website.

Psst! Save your cash and buy them after the first of the year when they become half-price! You didn't hear that from me. This conversation never happened.

40 bowling balls!!!!! Wow I want that collection! I collected bottle caps. Mainly from all the beer I drink. I have plenty of 16oz red plastic cups filled with them all over my room. Not the best thing I can say about myself but its true. Kind of a habbit now.

Before I moved down here I had a lot of them myself. I liked the ones from Red Dog with the little sayings or puzzles on the insides.

Ah, beer. Every couple of weeks we go to Whole Foods or one of the better stocked liquor stores and look for interesting beers to try. Sometimes we actually have a particular one in mind from my "beer a day" calendar.

The one I've got is a desktop tear off calendar that has a different beer for each day. After a while you get to learn the way the guy writes and which ones you might need to avoid.
