Title: Sci Fi stuff or Memorabilia In General
Post by: The Magic Pudding on April 01, 2012, 12:55:38 PM
Just watching Big Bag Theory and they bought the Time machine from the original Tim Machine movie, (you'll have to imagine a drool smilie here).  Do you have any Sci Fi stuff or memorabilia in general?  

My wife gave me a Simpsons chess set and then later I found she'd given to someone else.  I haven't figured out the right response to this yet, something that conveys the bitterness of loss to the perpetrator and comforts me with knowledge she'll never be so, so, so,,,, disrespectful of stuff again.

I've got Wallace and Gromit figurines from breakfast cereal boxes.
My daughter has a W&G bicycling jacket that says keep up lad on the back for the rider behind to see.  Yes I envy her that jacket but she's a much faster cyclist than me.

I won a Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy movie tee shirt.
It was so fricken small I never got to wear it.

I have a Dr Who Tardis on my desk, it makes the Tardis noise when you open the lid .
It's been given the job of holding receipts.  
No one is tardy now when it comes to storing away receipts.

I have 66 Star Wars pocket books, and a few t-shirts.
Also got a toy lightsaber. Just some cheap shit, but my nerd gene had to have one.
And of course my trusty co-pilot, the Clone Trooper bobble head.

Yes, I'm a Star Wars nerd.

I forgot my can of Monty Python Spamalot Spam, it says collectors edition on it.

I have:

Poke-ball earrings
a Tardis mug
a "Griffindor" t-shirt
My husband has a sonic screwdriver (though I consider it joint property - hehe)
When our son was really little, we had star fleet jumpers for him.

I've got masses of Pastafarian Memorabilia:

My daughter made these slippers:

My wife knitted this pullover, which has appeared on the FSM site:

I also have a home-made FSM cushion and several T-shirts.

Strangely, although I've been a lifelong SF fan, I don't have anything but a lot of books.

I have some Twilight Zone DVD's and that is about it. I have never been one for sci-fi memorabilia or memorabilia in general. I'm also not big on collections, though I am trying to build up a german beer steins collection. So far I have one from Oktober Fest, but not the real German Oktoberfest.  ;)

I think they're some kind of crocheting; I'll ask the daughter.  The string for the spaghetti hasn't worked out very well and we may replace it with wool.

Apparently she took the idea to her girlie group at the pub and they designed it between them.

I have a Wallace & Gromit Wererabbit figure, a Tardis mug as well as a Tardis cookie jar, a Big Bang Theory metal lunchbox, a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Marvin plushie (based off the movie, although I love the book best), a model of the Starship enterprise (one of those 3D puzzles you put together), and also have a can of the Monty Python spam from when a friend went to see Spamalot.  :)

I LOVE the FSM slippers and sweater! That's fantastic!

OldGit, your family *is* awesome.  I want an awesome family to knit me FSM stuff!  My feet are cold and would be much warmer if they were cradled in the FSM's noodley goodness.

I'm not much of a collector.  I never know what to do with knick knacks.

On second thought I did build a model Millennium Falcon when I was younger, but it eventually got destroyed. I'm not sure if a model counts though.
