I was gonna swear we had once a (actual) poll on this subject ... statistic results and all. Now, finding it is hard deal .
My butt has now 65 notches and i started slowly gathering whatever type of antique weapon that came across my sight and i could (often even couldn't) afford, (only) twenty years ago. Now i am trying hard to refine my taste, following the Port Whine principle .
