So guys, I've been sorting through LEGO today. Still very very far away from buying replacement parts, but I think I've finally nailed my entire history of LEGO sets:
http://rebrickable.com/profile/McJobless/setsI have had 106 sets total which I've counted thus far (although a few might be up for debate since they're so close to other sets). One problem though; there's this one little piece that I cannot figure out where it comes from:

I've never ever owned a Pirate set. That said, my Dad might have, but I don't have any of the parts from any of the sets it appeared in. The part's ID is 973p34 (Peeron) and name is "Minifig Torso with Open Jacket over Striped Vest Pattern". My Dad's sets are all from between 1970s to 1989.
Not that you guys are going to find it, I'm just leaving this as a reminder to myself so that I as I push forward, I hopefully find at least one more unique piece that matches the listed sets and I can finally lay this bird to rest.
And before you ask, I've only ever had full sets, or parts given to my friend which were mostly (about 6 or less parts missing) or fully complete sets (I've counted them in my 106).
