I dunno. Maybe all of my graphic novels and TPB’s. I count them all as one possession.
Or maybe the older of my two drawing tables.
It’s all tricked out with two giant trays, a pencil stop and lamp, plus I attached a drawer organizer and mounted an inkwell. Pimp-ed out, i tell ya.

Most prized possession? My geeky bookshelf, filled with DVDs, manga and Star Wars books. My other bookshelf is perfectly normal, representing my more ordinary tastes, like Stephen King, Anne Rice, V.C. Andrews and those cute kid books I still secretly pick up at used book sales at the library and yard sales. Maybe not so ordinary? XD
I would have to say that my prized possessions are my Richard Simmons LP (yes, the man recorded an album and it is the most godawful thing ever…gotta love it!) and my Tim Curry LP collection. All three of his solo albums from the late seventies and early eighties! Both the Richard Simmons LP and the Tim Curry LPs are featured prominantly on my wall of shame. Awsome!

I do the rock, rock, rock!
I have a live Tim Curry concert from 1979 somewhere…it’s got some good shit on it, but I’ve never actually heard his studio albums.
Tim Curry has also done a shitload of cartoon voices!

I’ve never really given much thought to this… but off the top of my head I’d have to say that it’s my Legend of Zelda DVD set. Such a fun show.
I guess I missed the SNT. Oh well. Most prized possession? Easy. My Space Cases tapes. My situation is actually quite a bit like Lori’s, but SC tops them all, also above all my books, photos, other sentimental items, things that are worth money, all of it. The sentimental stuff would be number two though, and I can’t choose one specific thing from all of that.

Easy, the remote control to my TV, and my blue shades.
Also, I was in NYC yesterday for a scavenger hunt as a huge pledge event (If you remember from a month ago), and we (theres 8 of us) mostly were around time sqaure. Didn’t see Spidey Bum, but we DID get the Big Apple Guy to curse at us. I also saw the Expedition Everest ad, too.
But here’s my story that I’d like to share:
One of our things we needed was a pic with an FDNY worker & his turck, and as we were posing for the pic, a midget walks by. (BTW, we also needed a pic of us with a midget) So when the midget walks guy, one of my fellow pledges yells out "holy crap, a Midget just walked past us!" but loud enough so everyone within 10 feet heard us, especially the midget. He then gets awkward and runs after him saying "I’ll give you $5 if you’ll take a picture with us!" and the midget basically goes "Good goingm you fucking jackass!" and runs off in a huff. This all happened in front of the FDNY guy, and probably a good group of people, and the FDNY is cracking up at this, and I was standing next to the guy who said it, and I was laughing for 5 minutes straight. Needless to say, we got a pic with a different midget.
And then later on in the day, he basically does the same thing with another pic target, the rare White Cabbie. Same setup, we were about to pose for a pic, then a cab with a white driver stops at a light, and he yells out "Holy crap, its a white cabbie!" loud enough for everyone to hear him and then runs up to him, and the cabbie goes "Nice going, jackass!" and zooms off. Same result, actually found another white cabbie and got a pic from him.
Just 1 more week and it’s all over @_@

My most prized possession? My comic books and dvd collection.

Sorta off topic: I cry foul that Pound Puppies, Megos, wrestling figures, and no superhero toys (unless you count TMNT, He-Man, and Transformers as superheroes) made VH1 100 Toy List.

Prized anything: Wife.
Prized thing: 1968 Jeepster Commando, you’d have to experience it.
I’ve been playing a lot of Settlers of Catan lately. I got my bum handed to me twice tonight, but came back in the third. Knights and Cities expansion is crazy, too, but even crazier in German…cause my German still isn’t that great.

I have a Chicken Vending Machine. I was inspired to purchase one after I read that a grocery store near Matt was selling one.

Dude, a really real Chicken Machine? I am so disgustingly jealous.

My Pound Puppy, but it wasn’t the store version. My grandma bought a pattern kit and made me one on her sewing machine. I named it Honesty for some bizarre reason, as I was one of the world’s biggest fattest liars as a small child, and I have never had the heart to put him away. Most people who come over are polite enough not to ask why a 26 year old man has a morose looking stuffed dog sitting in a chair in his living room.

Oh, did I mention my collection of Nintendo Power magazines covering the entire NES era? No? Oh. Well, I have those.

I have so many awesome things… a great home, two dumb cats, a big TV, bootleg DVD’s of Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, lots of Star Wars toys, and a huge collection of Batman comics… buy I have to say that the best "thing" I have is knowing that if it were all taken away, and all I had left was my wife and two cats, my life would still be … to quote Master Shake… "pretty bitchin’".

My AFA100 cobra commander 1982 Micky Mouse! Yeah, I know it’s cool.

My most prized possession is my vintage Matchbox Lion Voltron. It’s been much played with but I still like to break it out from time to time.

kb, if you have Netflix try renting some Sopranos DVDs and see if it’s your thing. If you’re already a gangster movie fan it’s an easy sell but there’s a lot more to recommend it besides the Mafia angle (great writing, acting, cinematography and so on. IMO it has some of the best acting performances ever, and not just within the limits of tv drama). Only 7 hours 41 minutes until new eps…which means I have less than 8 hours to finish this paper before absolute flaming panic sets in.
