    I seriously thought about acquiring a Smith & Wesson .500. Sure glad I fired one before deciding to invest in one.

    .22 because bullets are so CHEAP
    9 mil because they're so common
    .357 because it will shoot .357 or .38 ammo

I want to go cage diving with great white sharks some day.
    Ah, ok. I thought that's what you meant.

    How's that for irony?

    Alright, you nerds. Fess up.

    Do any of you collect anything? What do you collect?

    I collect...metal CD's. I'm beginning to have quite the pile, in fact, and some of them are quite rare ("quite rare" as in, I have probably a dozen or more albums that were strictly limited printings of 100 copies, and two that I can think of that were limited to only 50 copies). The day that I paid $65 for a particularly rare and sought-after (sought after by a tiny minority of metalheads, anyway ) album was the day I decided that I was, in fact, a collector.

    What a nerd, eh?
