Interested in partaking in this unusual hobby? Here's a tip from the master:

"I found that having a shower tends to wash away any lint, so the logical time to collect is just before getting in the shower each evening.

Nasty! I don't even have belly button lint!

what on earth would possess this guy... ?

his belly button lint...

why is it brown, purple, green, or red?

wikipedia says the color is most likely an average of all clothing colors worn... so usually grey

i guess he wears a lot of solid colors - red, green etc

Ugh, ugh...UGH...I don't even want to know why this is so stupid.

Collect it? But, why? It's so tasty and nutritious, why not eat it?!?!?!

ugh he clearly does not shower. how gross and really unnecessary. makes u wonder if this guy had a fetish. and what else does he collect.. ugh *shudders*
