	I'm a laclabarctophilist. I collect cheese labels to put on my teddy bears.

	milkmeister:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 18:50 GMT	61 points
	Seriously, people collect cheese labels?

	chambers:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 18:59 GMT	-1 points
	niiice quiz

	Craig_Hodges:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:08 GMT	7 points
	Keychains should also be accepted for Copoclephilist, I would think.

	DonnyB:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:24 GMT	27 points
	I think it's great there's a word for someone who collects sugar packets. Language is so fun.

	bkb24:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	4 points
	Would have thought baseball cards, records/vinyls, paintings, and comic books would have made list.

	bkb24:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	3 points
	oh yeah and matchbooks, casino chips, and antiques

	Time limit is waaaaay too long.

	Onno:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:44 GMT	6 points
	There are people who collect eggs? Never would have guessed teddy bears or cheese labels either. I guessed a couple right though.

	Mr_Negative:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	99 points
	I'm a negologist. I collect negative points. Bring em.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:47 GMT	7 points
	I agree time is too long. I had time to guess dozens of answers. Didn't help my score any though.

	lulubelles:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:50 GMT	4 points
	I got sugar packets and teddy bears just from the words, and knew 4 others but cheese labels? What weirdos

	procrstinologist:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	1 point
	For any aspiring Laclabphilist out there- her is a starter kit of 15 vintage labels. haha http://www.tias.com/13785/PictPage/3923544527.html

	Isstvan:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:52 GMT	2 points
	I'm a pocillivist. Couldn't imaging actually being an oologist.

	steeltown:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:52 GMT	11 points
	I thought the "lac" in laclabphilist might have something to do with lactation, bringing to mind all of the following wrong guesses: breast, cleavage, breast milk, and finally, bras. What is the correct name for one who collects bras? (And could it be included in the Collectables II?)

	apparently that link didn't work http://www.tias.com/cgi-bin/google.fcgi/itemKey=3923544527

	micah:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 19:54 GMT	4 points
	I guessed "handwriting" for philographist just on the basis of roots, which meant I ended up kicking myself when I saw how close I'd gotten. (Not that I think it should be an alternate answer--it's just frustrating.)

	Plussios:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	4 points
	Isn't there a word that describes those of us who collect almost everything? I collect books, stamps, coins, notes, pens, mugs - you name it.

	ianbob:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:02 GMT	2 points
	Tough one. Laclabphilist is not one who collects milk, evidently.

	cmkeller:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:03 GMT	22 points
	@Plussios: that's called a packrat.

	heydigital:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:13 GMT	6 points
	cheese labels, sugar packets, and eggs? would have never guessed that there are enough people out there who collect these things to have a word for them. the more you know...

	Handrejka:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:14 GMT	1 point
	Micah, I did the same and really kicked myself too.

	Dawn:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:24 GMT	17 points
	should take signatures for autographs

	Snorkel:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:28 GMT	5 points
	I wonder what a collector of paper clips, like Bert, is called.

	Mr_Negative:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	61 points
	AH! I hate you all!

Comment below threshold: show it

	DWolf:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 21:17 GMT	1 point
	I got the top 4, then I tried normal things like "cards", "toys", "action figures", "comic books", "stuffed animals", "figurines", "snow globes", "records"; then I tried weird things, like "animals", "junk", "boxes", "knives", "keys"; then I started trying insane things, like "ice", "fire", "love", "people", "planets". Never got any more. (Stuffed Animals and Keys were close though.)

	@steeltown: Stalkers?

	leob:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 22:32 GMT	0 points
	Where's phillumenist - matchbook/matchbox collector?

	Tim32:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 23:22 GMT	0 points
	never knew there were such terms for coin and sea shell collectors. why? 7/12

	DerekH:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 23:36 GMT	12 points
	Running short of time, misread 'Copo' as 'Copro' - oh, sh!t!!

	josh23:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	1 point
	hmmm... don't know to many cheese label collectors.

	ntnon:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 01:33 GMT	6 points
	Plussios: "Stuffologist" (n) A person who collects of 'stuff'. A collector of many different types of things.

	Escaho:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 01:43 GMT	4 points
	I had to laugh. I always try and get at least half on these quizzes and was at 5/12 with twenty seconds left, so I randomly guessed words. "Cheese" just happened to work. Awesome.

	Iceberg:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 01:57 GMT	1 point
	What exactly is a cheese label?

	AntieAnnie:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 03:08 GMT	11 points
	Desperately, Annie types "shoulders" for deltiologist. Oh well.

	Wilford_Brimley:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 08:12 GMT	1 point
	What about a Pokemon Trainer--one who collects Pokemon?

	brownowl:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 11:40 GMT	3 points
	I liked having the long time limit for random guesses - it's not as though people are likely to know all of these, so why not get points for good guess work?
