Gakked from just about everywhere:

When you see this, post another Supernatural quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

Dean: You know what, there's a ton of lore on unicorns too. In fact, I hear that they ride on silver moonbeams, and that they shoot rainbows out of their ass!
Sam: Wait, there's no such thing as unicorns?

Meme time, gakked from katikat

Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
Poseidon by The Mavis's. It was their first EP and hasn't been commercially available since 1993. I bought while we were all still living in the old home town and I should have gotten them to sign it before they broke up, but I always thought they'd be around forever :~(

Name a book you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
Blahnik by Boman: Shoes, Photographs, Conversation. Why yes, I am a shoe queen. Why do you ask? *g*

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
It's not exactly a movie, but I'm not sure how many of my flist would own Lillie, a miniseries about the life of Lillie Langtry starring Francesca Annis.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
I'd say the old home town, but I know for a fact that at least two of you have been there, so I'm nominating Manangatang in the Victorian Mallee region.

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
My book measure that tells me if a book is a folio, elephant or giant folio. It was given to me by the rare books cataloger at work and I just love it.
