Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

October 14, 2013 By Brian 18 Comments

This week’s assignment from the League: My biggest regret…

This week’s assignment for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers is an idea sent in by CT at Nerd Lunch. CT and I were discussing possible article ideas for the Cool & Collected magazine, and this topic was a leading contender, but it needed multiple people’s input. So, if things go well this week, I may be contacting you guys to see if you’d be up for reprinting your responses in the magazine. Let’s see how it goes…

—

Why did I buy that? Why did I sell that? My biggest regret is…

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

leaguelogo_smallOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    This one was easy. I’ve had some childhood regrets eating away at me lately!

    Ugh. I feel sick to my stomach when I think about this one. It was only about 6 or 7 years ago too!
