Every once in a while you talk a really big game about setting limits on your collection.  I don't believe you for a second.

2 yankees took a road trip to south louisiana, and in traveling a particular scenic byway entered the city limits of paincourtville ["panka ville" is how it's pronounced]. they got into a bit of an argument on how to say it correctly, one going with "pain court ville," and the other "pain coo ville."   each was pretty sure of himself, so they wagered $100 on who was right--they determined that in order to settle the bet, they would pull into one of the locals' places, explain what was riding on the pronunciation, and the native's answer would be dispositive.

so, they pulled up to a joint, walked up to the man that owned it, and explained to him the bet he would settle.  They asked him to articulate every syllable very slowly and tell them where they were.

he said :    dare     ee     queen!
