SO.

Nefarius (and a friend) and I have all owned several copies of Poe's Hello.

WHAT THE SHIT?

Is this album cursed? Has anyone else owned multiple copies of it? How about another album? DVD? Book? Anything?

What cursed items have you purchased again and again?

Not many; if we're not talking about buying copy after copy because you keep giving them to people while saying, "Dog, you gotta have this!", or leaving them with gfs when you break up, the only things I can think of are "Never Mind the Bollocks" by the Sex Pistols (wore out 3 copies on vinyl before getting the CD) and Sarah McLachlan's "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy". I'm on my 4th copy of that one - no idea what happened to the first 3.

Well Done! Maybe now we can get down to the bottom of this mystery!

I wanted to say something cuz this seems like a very interesting thread but I cant recall anything I have lost and had to buy over and over again..

I was beginning to think that the sock dryer gnome took it cause I was running out of matching socks to steel from. That little fucker as the mates to most of my favorte socks, so why not start moving in on other precious items as well!

I went through a period in my life where I lost 4 wallets in about 2 years. I was really stoned.

I had a problem with losing sunglasses too, but I actually had to buy the pair I have now because the others were too old and scratched up. I had them for 3 years. The current pair is going on 2 years.

Tool - Opiate

I have had at least 5 copies of it(original copies) and it is currently MIA. I aint buying it no more.
If I ever get my internets back I should just DL from somewhere or someone.

Drizz · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21, 2007, 02:12:12 PM »

I have bought two copies of Rasputina's Thanks For the Ether and two copies of The Mars Volta's De-loused In the Comatorium.

Bump that shit.

I'm on my fourth copy of The Sims 2.

I'd somehow always manage to lose the run disk, so I'd end up buying another copy...

in my lifetime i have bought 4 ABBA greatest hits cds and the fourth is currently missing. one time i bought a concert ticket and lost it within a week, bought another one online, then 5 minutes before the door opened i couldn't find it. thank god it wasn't sold out. each ticket was 10 dollars each so i wasted 30 dollars to see some screamo band i don't even like.

In my last post (The Bar) in which I mention DD and TOOL I am reminded that I am also missing both my DD and TOOL t-shirts. Both of which were bought at the shows. Hmmm, curious? Could my undying love for both have created a porthole of jealousy and now both shirts have been sucked in forever and will never be seen again. Or are they duking it out some where in a parallel universe and only the victor will return to me!

I have purchased many copies of the collected works of H.P.Lovecraft
and always seem to end up with no copies very quickly.... this is mainly due to me handing them to random people and getting them to read them.

Amyanodyne · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2007, 08:43:12 PM »

Ani-Little Plastic Castles-I've owned this CD at least 3 times

All Smashing Pumpkins CDs: I've bought at least two copies of each so far

I also seem to frequently lose/give away Dresden Dolls CDs.

Referring back to the original post, I have just the opposite situation:
I bought one copy of Hello, but I now have two because some friends thought the copy that showed up at their house must be mine.

Then you are indeed the blessed one

I bow before you and pray that your grace will grant me the honor of being able to keep a copy with out it dissappearing. What sacrifice must I make so that you may lift this curse? *giggle

Well Damn! I might as well never bother with buying another copy if thats the price. I just simply can't give up my nefarious lifestyle. What ever will I do for fun? $:-\$

colordeaf · « **Reply #18 on:** July 22, 2007, 12:24:46 PM »

Aha, I don't know if I have bought an album twice. I had Pink Martini's Hang on Little Tomato, which I lost. I downloaded a copy from somewhere instead of buying it XP

(can't afford to buy over and over again)

There was the time I had a Pikachu plushie. My "friend" who lived down the street stole it and cut off its tail. Her mother had to buy a new one for me.

I'm on my 4th phone charger.
I've bought Adore by The Smashing Pumpkins 5 times. The Downward Spiral by NIN *at least* ten times.
I've lost at least 100 T-shirts over the years which sucks cuz I have decided to collect T-shirts and see if I can get to 1,000 shirts. I'm at around 250.

I'm telling you people...Beware the Dryer Gnome. He has grown bored of socks and is out for far more precious things!

there must be some kind gnome creature that steals DD and Tool shirts. I lost my Tool sweatshirt AND t-shirt. I'm going to keep an eye on the new one i just bought. Also, my Dresden Dolls shirt went missing, but mysteriously reappered 2 weeks after i bought the same one again. the same thing with my Cure shirt. now i have two of them.
