MeMeMe

Name a CD you own that you think no one else on your friendslist does: In the Metal Mood, in which Pat Boone plays heavy metal classics in the Big Band style. This is actually Ed's CD, but 90% of the CDs we own were acquired by Ed, not me. (This is a difficult meme for a married person to do -- I mean, all our property is joint, and Ed is on my friendslist. So there's always going to be somebody on my friendslist who has whatever I've just come up with.)

Name a book you own that you think no one else on your friendslist does: Culture Shock: Iran! was the first one I spotted that I thought fell into this category.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no one else on your friendslist does: Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam, which is a low-budget Turkish remake of Star Wars. I bought it at Marscon last year from a guy at a con who said it was quite possibly the worst movie ever filmed (and he would know, as he's a serious connoisseur of really bad movies.) I wound up bringing in Gatorr, the Fighting Rabbit, the next day and loaning it to him because I thought he'd enjoy it. (He did.) (For those readers who've somehow missed out on that particular cinematic classic, Gatorr was a movie made by a group of my college friends. I was recruited for one scene, where the barbarians all rise up and charge down a hill. It looks very Braveheart until you notice that the barbarian army consists of eleven or twelve people total.)

I've never gotten around to actually watching Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam, because until October we didn't have a working VCR. One of these days.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no one else on your friendslist has: Dapcha, Nepal. Unless someone from my study-abroad program has started reading this, in which case, they need to out themselves right now and say hi.

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no one else on your friendslist has: The best answer I can come up with for this one is our six-sided grater. Or maybe our cordless rechargeable electric lawnmower.

Edited to add: scalzi has "In the Metal Mood." I'm going to switch that one to Mark Applebaum, "Your Parents Hate Me." Ed sings backup on that album, for "Surf Iowa." If someone reading this who is not a Carleton alum owns that album, I will be absolutely floored. (Though scalzi, you might get a kick out of "Surf Iowa.")

porphyrin has a six-sided grater, which isn't terribly surprising as they're not that obscure. My most specialized tools are kitchen-related. (My computer tools are all very mundane; my toolbox contains things like a screwdrivers in various sizes, a hammer, a power drill, and other essentials that every homeowner has.) But nothing in my kitchen is all that obscure. I'll toss our flour sifter out there, I guess. Lots of people don't own those anymore.
