I am not much on collecting and keeping crap. But I am known to go out of my way to get a memento from a place I'm visiting. This includes running to the gift store at the last possible minute in the airport, to get a shot glass with a picture of the locale.
These are some of the things I enjoy collecting.
I have those $5 shot glasses from every place I visited. Some of the weirdest ones include glasses from Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. I got them on our road trip from Chi to Brooklyn, on the interstate rest areas.
I also think I got one from London and Paris.
I love doing the coin print. You know that stupid press where you put in 50 cents and a penny, and out comes out a flatted penny with an image. I have a whole bunch of them from Disney, Brookfield Zoo, House on the Rocks in Wisconsin. I have one from London, from the Tower Bridge Engine room, on the other side of it is a clear image of Queen Victoria. I think it comes on the pence.
One I treasure the most is an old penny from the Twin Towers. I don't even remember when i made it, it's getting green now. But every time I see it, I pause to think about something for a minute.
The weirdest thing I collect on occasion is drink stirrers from the bars i visited. But i don't collect just any, it has to have something of that place. Like the one I got from Hancock tower, or Paris hotel in Vegas.
What weird things you collect? This is a question for all of you lurkers out there, that I know read my crap, but never comment on it.

When I was a kid, I collected metal and wood type-blocks. I have no idea why and I have no idea where the collection is now.
You have to keep you man-only crap somewhere!
I have my office! It's like a fortress full of crap.
Before that, it was keychains from the places I've visited - about 200 of those.
