HDTV (aparnently nto that common though)
car
TV
cell phone
Ipod
long sleeved clothing
hat
toothbrush
comb
non-intergrated video card
VHS or DVD player

things I DO own that most don't

not much comes to mind, guess maybe a ton of EE books, and 3 alarm clocks in a 5 ft radius is kinda odd. Guess you could add soldering iron and multimemter, but those are probably relatively common here.

Cell phone. Well, technically I own one....but it hasn't been activated for 2 years. (I'm proud fo this because I've been saving $50 a month and haven't had to DEAL with people calling me every 5 minutes)

Until recently, I did not own a toilet plunger.

Yeah, that's one of those things that really, really sucks to not have when you realize you need it.

i don't own a console, unless you count the Sega Genesis in a box in the basement.

no PVR either, and NO camcorder or video recorder except the one on the digital camera but that doesn't really count.

Our house was built in 1996 and has those wonderful Federal Government designed toilets. There is a plunger beside every toilet in the house.
