This post was deleted for the following reason: besides the fact that we've done this before, this is sort of mental illness subculture tourism. -- jessamyn

Is today national hoarding day?

Maybe we should just keep this one. Maybe we'll need it one day.

We already have one just like it.

Come on mr_crash_davis, we can keep this one too, we never know when we'll need it. Perhaps we can just leave it on the bathroom floor somewhere.

Totally misses the whole point of hoarding, which can entail a creative optimism that parts can be reused or that their inherent significance will oneday be decoded by another. This is just filth.
