    4. What is your favorite fast food joint?

    1. Do you collect anything? (I know we've seen this question before, I'm just trying to help others get gift ideas for the secret santa exchange.)
    A) I collect stamps in my passport

    2. Do you have a gaming system? What kind of games do you like?
    A) No gaming system here. But I would like to pick up that old school handheld football game. You know, the one with the 4 little led lights.

    3. What DVD do you not have that you would like to have?
    A) Either the "Adventures of Baron Munchausen" or "Erik the Viking" It would have been "And God Created Woman" but I just ordered that one the other day.

    4. What is your favorite fast food joint?
    A) I'm not really a big fast food fan so I guess I'll say Baha Fresh

    5. Do you decorate for the Holidays?
    A) Nah. Sometimes I do for Halloween.

    Do you collect anything? US Coins, but on a very minor scale. I don't have much tolerance for things sitting around with no purpose.

    Do you have a gaming system? What kind of games do you like? We have NES, Super Nintendo, Gamecube, and Game Boy, but those are for the kids. The only game I really like to play is Age of Empires II (on the computer), but rarely have time to play.

    What DVD do you not have that you would like to have? Ben-Hur?

    What is your favorite fast food joint? Burger King, hands down.

    Do you decorate for the Holidays? Yes, we decorate on Thanksgiving. It's almost more fun than Christmas.

    1. I think I have a slight case of OCD...I collect sports jerseys, video games, golf balls, ccg cards (which I don't use anymore).

    2. Yes, I have a PS2, Xbox, Cube, DC, GBA, and soon NDS. I like all games, but mostly sports and RPGs, but I'll play anything that's good.

    3. Shrek 2, West Wing Season 3

    4. Popeyes...I love fried chicken.

    5. No...I'm single and live in an apartment . I don't decorate...

    1. I collected many things in my younger years (stamps, coins, etc). Now the main things i collect are live music (particularly pearl jam, but i will download any band that is supposed to be good live) and vinyl records (again, the focus is on pearl jam, but i also will pick up most any classic rock).

    2. No gaming for me.

    3. Right now i would say Shrek 2, plus lots of other classic movies i've never seen. of course, the seinfeld dvds would be awesome.

    4. taco bell, i suppose, although i haven't eaten fast food in months.

    5. i used to, but when i moved to NYC i left all my christmas decorations at my parents house, because i have no room to store them here.

    1. Do you collect anything? (I know we've seen this question before, I'm just trying to help others get gift ideas for the secret santa exchange.)
    - I used to collect comics, still do but not to the same extent. I have been collecting cool Hard Rock pins. Somewhat shot glasses.

    2. Do you have a gaming system? What kind of games do you like?
    - PS2 and Game cube of the current systems. Lots of types, racing, FPS, RPG, etc.

    3. What DVD do you not have that you would like to have?
    - tough question...not sure. I generally buy the ones I want or wait for more feature laden versions appear.

    4. What is your favorite fast food joint?
    - I dont really have a favorite. Given the choice between a few, I fluctuate. I get bored by the options.

    5. Do you decorate for the Holidays?
    - I put out and light my menorah. My wife puts out her christmas treeish thing. That would be the sum total of decorating so I would say no.
    Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....

    No, but I play my abandonware on my PC some. Been working on Wizardry 3 and Prince of Persia lately.

    3. What DVD do you not have that you would like to have?
    Aqua Teen Hunger Force season 2.

    4. What is your favorite fast food joint?
    None particularly stands out above the rest. Depends on my mood. I guess all things weighted I'd say Popeye's.

    5. Do you decorate for the Holidays?
    No. No space in my apartment. But I spend Christmas back w/ the folks and they decorate. My Mom has a Santa fetish like someone else mentioned recently, probably Obby.

    I collect LOADS of stuff...Santa's, antique christmas ornaments(literally -at last attempted count was over 3000),insulators, wooden shoes,old newsprint headlines(which I think I neglected to mention last time)..my favorites include a headline and newsprint from the sinking of the Titanic, and the shooting death of Mahatma Gandhi..both original-in good excellant condition...but I have many many more...let's see..I collect minature perfume bottles,antique jewelry, unset stones,old hair pins, lace bobbins,any antique that I see in general that I like, SANTA'S SANTA'S SANTA'S..(too many to count-most at least 50-75 years old)...family photos,globes,1972 Tiny Tears dolls (with or without molded hair),Hall Pottery,Bone China Cups and saucers, Griswold cast Iron, Old fly rods, old lures, cast iron old salts figurines, depression glass, watermelon glass (hence my nick),renoir prints,old oil paintings..etc..yeh, I got alot of crap..but I love each and every piece.
    I don't have a gaming system, and never allowed one in my home..there was always too much other stuff to be doing than becoming comatose in front of a hefty game of PONG...although two years ago I did win an Xbox online-and when it was delivered, I gave it to my brother in law who is a huge gamer.(geek)
    The DVD that I don't have but would love to have is JOY LUCK CLUB..omg..awesome movie..
    I"m not a huge fan of fast food (because it's cheaper to just eat at home) but I guess for something on the run it would have to be Wendy's..for their chili.
    ..DO I DECORATE??? lololololololol...yes..I start decorating in early October for Christmas..LOLOLOL...the last thing I have to do is to put up the trees-I'm getting my kids to go with me on Sunday to cut them. By Thanksgiving the entire house will be turned into my wonderful world of Victorian Christmas.

    FYI..keep this page as a handy reference..unless you love insulators, and look around for them..they can be quickly missed at flea markets,junk shops etc..their worth really does add up after a while.

    interesting. thanks for the info.

    i was thinking of the white ceramic insulators that they use on electric fences, and i didn't think there would be enough of those to really collect.

    4. Tough one, I'm just going to abstain from this because I like them all.

    I collect bread recipes.

    2. Do you have a gaming system? What kind of games do you like? Not really. I spend too much time rolling around the bakery.

    3. What DVD do you not have that you would like to have? That's a tough one... I'll have to get back to you.

    4. What is your favorite fast food joint? I hate fast food. Bakeries are my favorite place

    5. Do you decorate for the Holidays? Of course! The bakery is always festive during Christmastime!
    I'm the greatest thing since french bread.
