To limit the number of boards to 30, I increased the size of most boards to 4 feet square.

You may now drink your weak lemon drink.

That's fantastic, funniest thing I've seen in ages. If anyone tells you that you have too much kit just show them that. Grappling Hook anyone?

Re the King of Hobbies, all of Fist of Fun is on Stewart Lee's website. Well worth consideration.

In a similar vein I'm sure people have seen Needle Sports Nuts Museum and Cam Story.

I thought "Well documented", then clicked on a bigger image for a closer look, and saw a whole new level. That is OCD!
