Bah! I used to have a six-foot cardboard Boba Fett standup.
And I shelled out thirty bucks for a 37th-generation dub of the Star Wars Holiday Special.
::I have all of the 101 Dalmation dogs that McDonalds was giving away when that 101 Dalmations move came out. How sad is that??? I had friends eatting Mickey D’s till they were ready to kill me…LOL…but I have 'em all damn it. 
My ever-growing collection of old NES game cartridges.
(Including some very rare unlicensed and imported ones! 
)
I have some truly hideous costume jewelry which I accumulated in the 1970’s. Remember mood rings and charm bracelets?
I have a very nice 30 year old Dietzgen slide rule. I checked it out and it’s worth hundreds of bucks on the collector’s market.
If that isn’t geeky enough for ya, I have a 300 baud acoustic coupler modem sitting somewhere in a box in the garage.
My copies of The Encyclopedia of Physics, The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Engineering, The Electrical Engineering Handbook, The AMA Encyclopedia of Medicine, The Encyclopedia of Computer Science and The Star Trek Encyclopedia.
7,000+ Magic: the Gathering cards.
A collection of old Dragon[sup]tm[/sup] magazines.
All of the 1st Edition AD&D books (including a copy of Deities & Demigods with the Cthulu and Melnibonian mythos gods).
My bookshelf contains only around a dozen novels; just about everything else is a reference book or textbook.
I have not only ‘Dragon’ magazines, but also a load of ‘White Dwarf’ (UK version of Dragon).
Also two copies of all the 1st Edition AD&D books (I keep a reference set for the School Roleplaying Club).
A computer with no word processing / spreadsheet or database software - just games.
Does having no cooker*, ironing board or washing machine** in my house count?
*OK, I do have a microwave.
**my cleaning lady takes the laundry away and returns it. My philosophy is that housework interferes with computer gaming time.
I’ve still hung on to a lot of holdovers from my “anything Star Trek-related” youth… models of Next Generation ships, every episode of TNG on tapes in my closet, the Star Trek Encyclopedia (hardback)… and then, there’s the Star Trek novels I actually wrote. I wouldn’t call them good by any stretch of the imagination now, but for a seventh-grader I don’t think they were too bad. (Then again, the fact that a seventh-grader would spend his time writing Star Trek novels in the first place should be an indication of the supreme geekiness of my youth.)
BTW, I know these titles should be italicized, but I’m not quite sure how to do it… could someone help me out on that? I appreciate it!
I have every episode of seasons one, two, three and four of The X-Files on DVD. That’s 96 episodes.
I have more than 20 O’Reilly books - and I’ve read them all (some several times.)
Philote,
you can do bold, italics and loads of smilies :eek: .
Bold is started by typing a square open bracket* , then the letter b**, then a square closing bracket***.
You then type the word(s) you want bolded.
Bold is finished by typing a square open bracket* , then a slash****, then the letter b**, then a square closing bracket***.

I wrote a few Trek stories too, but never a novel. I’m impressed! I have a number of 'zines also, a lot of Trek and other books, tons of non sports trading cards, SW Ep. 1 Taco bell collectibles, and so forth.
I was even thinking of sending for the writer’s guidelines for Enterprise and maybe writing an episode. What the heck…
Definitely nerdy. 
Geeky? Yes indeed.
And you can learn from the bolding mistakes in my post, and I otter know better.
I’ve got Mandrake Linux on my computer. How geeky is that?
How did I forget my alien collection?
–an alien head dispenser for small candy
–a bigger alien head dispenser for small gumballs and jawbreakers
–a small alien that grows to many times its original size when submerged in water
–an acrobatic alien
–a gymnastic alien
–an alien head filled with green goo
–a stuffed blue-green shiny alien
And an action figure of Paul Atreides.
Oh, and a small Rocketeer plastic figure that used to hold tiny pieces of gum.
I thought I was the only one who had one of those. My boyfriend bought it for me. He’s weird.
64K Radio Shack Color Computer
Full collection of all the Intel Clean Room Dolls
Unopened copy of Mandonna’s SEX box with the aluminum covers
A router connecting my PC, my 14 year old’s PC and my 11 year old’s PC are all networked together in one room, sharing a cable modem.
Pet’s.com full size and accessory keychain sock puppet
Complete set of PANAM die cast metal planes still in the box
Microsoft Office on Floppies
etc etc ad nauseum
…one of them is mounted…
Colour me sick, but that was my only laugh of the day!
Perhaps that was TMI
Gotta be all the Star Wars toys. Including several 12" poseable figures. [sub]Ok, dolls! Dolls! Happy?! They’re dolls, alright?[/sub]
I’ve been contemplating making a Darth Vader costume as well. I hope it doesn’t come to that, though.
