Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
Big Daddy's 50s-style cover rendition of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (ok, *maybe* [livejournal.com profile] dwenius finally picked a copy up sometime back then).

lets try that again...

see, i was trying to avoid the *easy* stuff, like prog-rock bootlegs, or cape breton island music bought directly from the artists, or other strange celtic things like Shaun Davey's orchestral works, or obscure soundtracks like the 3-disc Prisoner soundtrack (anybody got THAT one?), or certainly any of the cds i pressed myself using the audio soundtrack to concerts...

so FINE.

A-Ha's cd single for "Forever Not Yours", with a great live version of Hunting High and Low recorded in Norway in 2002 (and broadcast this morning on the Trio network).

Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
a 1909 pressing of Shakespeare's Sonnets, with analysis.  its so unused that about 1/3rd of the pages are still uncut.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does:
Space Cruiser Yamato, series 2 (star blazers' comet empire) in the original Japanese.

Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has:
Marco Polo Park, an amusement park set up on I-95 in Bunnell, Florida, closed down by 1975.  If you drive that route, the metal of the roller coasters can still be seen through the pine trees. Here's a pic of it back then (not mine)

yeah, but you're not on *my* friends list, you're on my wife's (which i read daily to keep up with gossip, so don't take it wrong ;-) ).

(and no, i don't read it while logged in as her, but as me, so anything private to her stays that way)

still, its cool that i'm not the only person left in the country to have heard of them.

on the other hand, I *AM* appearantly still the only one who's heard of Marco Polo Park ;-)

I suspect I know of people who know/remember Marco Polo Park ... but then again, I was born in FL.
