Rail fans are a little out there (aka foamers). They are harmless however.

Funny this thread should pop up today, the day that for the first time in my 29 year life, at a 2A rally no less, I witnessed LARPing in real life. Four grown men in their 20s to 30s, wearing some form of kilt like thing and I guess what amounts to 10th century gang colors, beating each other with foam swords and spears.
.... I kinda wanted to ask to join them

Bunch of basement types get together a couple times a month to crack their whips at the park near my house. Yes....Vampires. Adult cosplay folks. They were basically harmless, got a bit noisy at times but not to any extreme. Gotta admit, more then once I was tempted to douse them with a super soaker full of "holy water" to see what would happen. I collect semi broken Toyota pickups. I would bet being a pretend vampire is a lot cheaper of a hobby then mine. |

I had a friend in high school that collected those "inspected by" slips of paper or note.
He had a whole board of them, and would go to the store and try to find more. One time, he got some with names on them and tried to call and talk to the person. This was back in the 90s when finding information about someone was hard. |

Washing, Carding and Spinning wool into yarn. But nothing else with it. That lady was out-to-fucking-lunch, completely detached from reality
Her husband was into falconry, or tried to be. He sucked at it though, the first time he tried it outside the bird just flew off So, he has this goofy-looking sleeve glove thing and no birds. That dude had a sort of reverse-Midas touch |

I collect shot glasses. It started as somewhat of a lark...I needed something small for a souvenir so I picked up a shot glass. You know, one of those decorative ones that have the name of the place, or the state, or wherever. Now I have a full display case and need another for the overflow.

My step mom accidentally collected Elvis memorabilia.
One day at work she mentioned to a coworker that she hated Elvis. mostly because everything associated with him was so tacky. Her coworker bought her a velvet Elvis painting for her birthday. One of the people that came by her office saw it and exclaimed how much she loved Elvis. Her next birthday resulted in her getting two Elvis items but she couldn't tell the 2nd woman she had gotten the painting as a gag gift as the time to tell her had passed. Within 15 years her whole office was filled with hipshaking dolls and 55 caddilac toys and movie posters. I think she fessed up to hating Elvis at one point but that just made it worse. I'm pretty sure it all hit the dumpster the day she retired. |

I get a lot of obscure metal music in the mail from Europe, Asia sometimes, Australia, etc. They sometimes come with awesome stamps so I’ve got a small collection of weirdo stamps.
Mine is I collect Star Wars toys. Not all Star Wars though. Just General Grievous. I couldn’t tell you why I just think he looks cool. I do have a friend who has a pretty small home where two of the rooms are literally floor to ceiling Superman memorabilia. He could probably make a crack at a world record but he’s scared to post pics because someone might come take all of his stuff. If I find a pic of it I’ll post it. |

I had a thing for vintage McHale edgers a while back. My dad has a pic of him and his grandfather shortly after coming home from Vietnam. In the corner of the pic, you can see a red and yellow edger. I used that same edger up until I left the house at 18.
I love to tinker with them. |

I have a dorky ass coworker that collects back to the future stuff and autographs. He flew across the country and spent 400 bucks to have a picture taken with some of the people in the movie. He also drove 5 hours to get gerald Fords autograph after working 12 hours through the night, he ended up falling asleep on the 5 hours back and crashed. Dude literary gave himself an hour to get the autograph, fuel and food because he had 12 hour turn around to be back at work. So dumb

Stamp collecting. My collection was started with my Dad when I was 7 years old. I still have it. Dad passed away six weeks ago but the memories of collecting stamps together all those 59 years ago are still precious.
