7. The size of one's collection often brings out a perverse sense of pride. "I'm not saying its' big now, but I've dumped a lot of stuff in the past."
8. Several times a year purveyors often find themselves in crummy hotel rooms. "Shake, Rattle, and Roll!"
9. You can get a whole lot more of it online. "I just found my new favorite website. <hidden link>"
