Stuff I Have That You Don't

Meme ganked from elainetyger.

Name a CD you own that no one else on your friends list does. This is tough since cahwyguyhas every cast album ever and captain_peleg has lots of obscure world music, but I will guess that nobody else has Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead.

Name a book you own that no one else on your friends list does. I have lots of obscure folklore books I've bought in other countries, but I will try to play fair with The House that Nino Built by Giovanni Guareschi. (Guareschi is on my mind as I have been rereading the Don Camillo books.)

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/etc that no one else on your friends list does. Since nobody else saw it despite my raves, I'll got for Free Enterprise, the story of two geeks upset over turning 30 who meet William Shatner at a porno bookstore late one night and get involved with his efforts to produce a musical version of Julius Caesar.

Name a place that you have visited that no one else on your friends list has. The national museum in Porto Novo, Benin.

...I think I have Free Enterprise on VHS, actually, though I'd have to find the relevant box in a storage facility in Massachusetts to be certain. :-)

Hmmm. What about Animals Are Beautiful People, the Jamie Uys nature documentary which features a parade of elephants drunk on fermented marula fruit?

...that seems a safe bet. :-)

I don't have Fire On The Mountain but by golly, I want it now that I know it exists!

(I saw that you friended me, so I friended you back. Hi there!)

Hey!

I just finished reading _The Little World of Don Camillo_!
A friend loaned it to me.

It has a great cover of "Touch of Grey" performed by Mighty Diamonds, but is fairly uneven overall.

I suppose I could have gone with other fusiony stuff like Bach Meets Cape Breton.

The House That Nino Built is Guareschi's autobiography and is very very funny.

I am still searching for a copy of Don Camillo Meets the Flower Children, which is the last in the series (and the only one I don't have). I inherited the first 4 books from my father, who was a big fan of modern Italian literature, and picked up Comrade Don Camillo at a used bookstore several years ago. I love the warmth and charm of the stories.
