I just collect everything.

I have a good collection of cheap cap-guns, hundreds of books (golden and silver era sci-fi mostly), role playing games i'll never play, beer bottles, any liquor bottle shaped like a musical instrument, rocks, pencils, trenchcoats, and several other things. I fear the garbage can.

Stubby holders/coolers. Wherever I go, I try to get one with a local theme or logo on it. And considering my taste for the amber fluid, stubby holders are practical, too. It's just that, like others here, I can't possibly use all the ones I've collected. Or at least, not very often. But I can try...

plastic models...

...and palstic model boxes

Viti

shot glasses

keychains (I have drawers full)

I have the collar of every dog I have had

snapshots...I cannot bear throwing them away, even of ex boyfirneds, hubby's exes, people I haven't seen or talked to in a decade

Disney Classics videos (now DVD's) but only the originals...I refuse to watch the new sequels

Plastic grocery bags...I have enough to last me till the end of time as it is, and get more every week...but they are all under my sink

For about three years in high school (when I customarily wore tee-shirts) I collected my belly-button lint in a little glass bottle.

Why do you need a holder for your stubby?

Wait. More urgent question: Why do you need a COOLER?

Thank you for sharing your feelings for the "amber fluid" all the same. And good luck in your noble efforts to hold a lot of stubbies.

Hmmm, maybe I need to translate :

A stubby* of amber fluid.

And stubby* holders/coolers are things you put them into, to keep the beer cold/hands warm.

*Alternatively spelled "stubbie".

LadyShea - We must be cosmically related.

I have a whole cupboard full of them. "But I might run out"....

BTW the dog collar thing is sweet... not a strange collection, but as precious one I'm sure

When I was little I compulsively collected those little super-bouncing balls. They cost a dime in the vending machine at the grocery store (and this was the late '80s!!). I had to buy one every time I went. I used to get really excited if I got a new or unusual colour, like sky blue, or if I found a gigantic one at a different store.

To this day I have a box of 200-300 super-bouncing balls sitting on a shelf in my bedroom at home.

I collect tarot decks. Mind you, I don't have any ridiculous notions of the cards having mystical powers. I just like the art and different interpretations of the cards by various artists.

My prize deck is the Tarot Universal by Salvador Dal�.
