OT: Do you own something that you love but that most people would not appreciate?
Not the greatest topic sentence, but this is what I mean ... one of my favorite things I own is the actual mask that Jack Black wore in the move Nacho Libre ... I love that movie, but more people than not think it was horrible and why on earth would I want Nacho's mask. My last trick will be getting my wife to let me frame it and hang it up somewhere other than the basement :)

A filthy old beat up neck pillow that I took on every mission when I was over in Iraq. Most people would probably just toss it, but there's some definite sentimental value.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:39 PM ^
for your service Chunkums.
Hooah.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:55 PM ^
*Ooh Rah* Silly soldier.
Branch rivalry jokes aside, I respect what you army boys do. You go through the same shit we do.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
Usually I +1 you just because of your avatar, but this time it's out of respect for the sacrifices you've made in service to your country.
Thank you.
February 7th, 2010 at 6:11 PM ^
I always liked you because of the simple fact that your name is "chunkums"...Now, you're even cooler in my book. Thanks for all of your sacrifice for our country.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:05 PM ^
I love my gigantic penis, but most people do not appreciate me constantly showing them.
February 6th, 2010 at 2:50 AM ^
...or the school...or on MGoBlog...
Now if you do like I do, and just show it to the ladies, they like it alllll riiiggghhhttttt.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
+1 just for having the humongous nads to post that right after the whole military service thing.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:06 PM ^
My friendship.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:58 PM ^
I know Norm MacDonald would appreciate that.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:06 PM ^
I purchased someone's soul on ebay.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:37 PM ^
what to do with it yet?
February 7th, 2010 at 2:42 PM ^
I'm thinking of buying another and breeding them. The market value for purebred souls is off the charts.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
understand why i still have my baseball/basketball/hockey card colllection... when we moved into together she wanted me to throw them out and the same when we moved into our house... i have told her that i'm keeping them so i can pass it on to our son if we have one...
February 5th, 2010 at 6:40 PM ^
I threw away a massive collection of comics dating back to the early 80's about 5 years ago. They weren't in great shape, but now I rue the day I did it, because my nephew is way into Spider-Man, among others.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:47 PM ^
we've come to an agreement now... as long as she can't see it i get to keep it... so they are in the downstairs closet for now...
February 6th, 2010 at 2:52 AM ^
Bur I figured the pain of your actions was punishment enough...
February 5th, 2010 at 6:16 PM ^
but i live in dayton ;-)
February 5th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
I've collected Santa Cruz decks for years now, along with other various skate stuff by them. My wife doesn't get why I collect them but when the value on some is in the $1-$1500K range then she'll be thankful when I decide to sell them.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:42 PM ^
my autopsy table. (which makes an excellent buffet table I might add)
Sadly my house is small, so it's been in the garage for a few years.
also:
My 70 piece flashlight collection.
My antique bug lights, outboard motors, and chemistry paraphernalia.
Oh, and my Dungeons& Dragons books . . .
.
My god, I'm a hoarder!
February 5th, 2010 at 6:53 PM ^
my bad attitude.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:23 PM ^
I love MgoBlog, as most of you know I spend a ton of time here. However I have no real close friends who are sports fans and therefore they don't understand my love affair with a website(especially if said website doesn't involve porn).
February 5th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
Absolutely. First thing that comes to mind:
Come to think of it, most of the music equipment I own -- and most of the albums I own.

You my friend are the man - I own roughly 8,000 records. Still buy them today. Viva la vinyl!
February 6th, 2010 at 2:39 AM ^
Sorry to disappoint you, but I only mean "album" in terms of the actual recorded content -- not the medium itself. For what it's worth, though, I do believe that vinyl is a better long-term investment than any digital medium.

I have a pair of vintage rattlesnake-skin cowboy boots... they're falling apart and my roommate owns snakes and despises my boots, but I love them so.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:59 PM ^
My wife,because of her I have nothing,what was something has long been sold,threw out,or gave away, she has taken everything including my will....wait I hear someone coming.....I have my wife,she's a peach, don't know what I would do without her...she is A-1... top of the line.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
I was gonna say your wife too.
Ah well... I guess she wouldn't count, since you appreciate her too. Damn.

Kidding of course.
I'll say my sense of humor. See... you don't appreciate it.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:02 PM ^
I love my dick but the women don't appreciate the herpes.

Frank's mixed CD made by Frank Hooks. My friend, roommate, and squadron mate who was killed in an F18 accident near the Azores.

I love to light fireworks and have a Federal permit.
I have a 1.3G explosives sticker 12"x12" it always
invtes questions. It's worthless, but I love it.
I also have a baseball card collection that
my dad gave me circa 1934-35, with Hank Greenberg, and
various other Tiger Hall of famers, and some prints including
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Roger Hornsby and Walter Johnson.
The wife wants me sell them, I don't think so.
And lastly, an old worn out UM sweatshirt with
just a plain embossed Maize MICHIGAN on it. You can't
find them anymore like that, no logos.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
i have been searching for somebody like you for years. last june i asked if anybody on here had a class A and B permit from the BATF, but nobody responded. if at all possible, id like to talk to you about getting some fireworks this year. Just to let you know I' not some dumb 18 year old freshman who might blow himself up, I'm 26 and i have extensive practice with large amounts high flash pyrodex.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
Is this your profile from Match.com?
February 5th, 2010 at 8:44 PM ^
a decently extensive anime collection. luckily i still get laid since my gf is asian
February 5th, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
I have a friend with the same affliction.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
yes i do, i even started taking japanese at emu, but i gave that up after 2 semester to focus on econ
February 6th, 2010 at 2:55 AM ^
It's called "taste". ;-)
February 5th, 2010 at 9:31 PM ^
True story: I had a roommate in college who joined the school's anime club and then quit a few months later when he realized his collection was more extensive than the entire club's, combined.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
My old Marantz model twenty-seven. Man I love that thing, it's even beautiful when it's off. No surround or other fancy gadgetry, just the basics pure and simple.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:55 PM ^
What's a Marantz?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
This is a Marantz.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
My family had the somewhat wider blue backlit model from a year or two later.February 7th, 2010 at 6:07 PM ^
Ha. Not too long ago my grandfather opted to move out of his house following the passing of his wife. I of course helped, and when I saw his old stereo I asked why he had never upgraded (he did pretty well for himself in his day). He looked at me like I was retarded, he has the same pride for his Marantz too.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
Sounds like you hang out at Analog Haven
February 5th, 2010 at 9:30 PM ^
I have a small white brick. Half a brick, actually. When my ship went into the yards after our deployment, they opened up the boilers ("my" boiler, since I was the division officer for that engine room) for refurbishment, and I went inside and on the spot decided that I would never have a better souvenir opportunity then to grab one of the pieces of refractory brick that at some point over the months or years had fallen to the bottom of the firebox. I always wanted some piece of that engine room to take with me and still can't think of a better souvenir.
chunkums, I love what you guys do on the ground, but until you get there, you're cargo!
February 5th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Does that make you guys cabbies?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
Or bus drivers, depending on which Marine you ask. But I don't know a single Marine that would trade it for getting flown to theater in a dark, uncomfortable, rickety old plane the way the Army does.

I have a Liquid Metal putter. Only a few hundred were cast back in about 1998. Liquid Metal Golf went out of business shortly after. One of these days I'm going to add a rider to my homeowners policy, covering the mallet for $2,000. I know; they won't do it without something like "provenance" which is used to establish value for a work of art. But, then, that's what it is -- a fucking work of art.
