Barbie Dolls and Beer Cans

I’ve gotten interested in collecting Zippo lighters and wanted to look at some old catalogs. A nutter site called Zippo Click apparently has back catalogs, so I filled out the first page of “registration” hoping to get at them. Only on the second page did they tell me that membership costs $20 a year. That was pretty crappy of them.

Anyway, as part of the registration you are asked, “What else do you collect?” Check out this list (and make note of how they spelled “porcelain”). Is this a club where I really belong? :-)

    I think Obama says it best: people tend to turn to their guns and their Zippo lighters in times of trouble. Maybe you do belong!

    Jim: And don’t forget the “angel-related items.”

    Chairman,

    These are great examples of strong brands. Some day you will see “Maoxian-related items” on a list like this, and you will know you have made it! :)
