Cool

What kind of question is that?

It's a hobby not without drawbacks:

1) Sometimes I feel silly (but only sometimes)
2) Looking at boxes and bags full of unused amenities from 2007, I feel silly
3) Most of them, I don't even really like
4) The ones that I do like (orange-clove bath gel from Venetian) run out quick and then I can't get them again

Or advantages:

1) The make lovely gifts. I "amenitize" guest baths of friends when visiting
2) Donating boxfulls to homeless shelters feels good as I'm told their perfectly suited

Favorite comment ever was from an ex-girlfriend accompanying me to Bellagio. She produced an empty suitbag.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"To facilitate looting!"
