Haha, I have a big box filled with K'nex. Loved that construction system, it didn't look as good as Lego but you could buy mechanisims and towers far more easily.

After watching the K'nex rollercoaster and seeing them sold cheaply I'm considering buying a couple of sets and filling my room with them :lol:

My nephew would love you. If you accomplish that you should take a short video and post it to share.

The only thing he really likes is to build stuff.

Haha. Too bad that my parents wouldn't allow it, my model trains are gathering dust for similar reasons.

There has been some really good stuff donde with those sets, like this one:

In addition to my games and movies, both of which my twin brother really started me on (especially the movies, since I'm more of a reader), I collect books, especially fantasy. Mostly, though, I collect dragons of any kinds. Posters, figurines, wall hangings, books, games, movies, blankets, stuffed animals, ornaments, furniture, if it has a dragon I'll collect it.

The last time I tried to count all my dragons I got to around four hundred and gave up.

That was about three years ago, and the collection's only grown since then.

I collect belt buckles. I have like 40. All different kinds. Not stuff you buy from an Arab in a booth at the mall. Old ones, and odd or unique new ones.
I just want to separate the cereal from the mouse mask.

Huh. For some reason, I have the urge to ask if you have one that says COCKY.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.
