I like to drink, and then there's..........um..........you know....drinking.

[beavereater]

I like exploring...Japan is a maze of undiscovered side-roads, with interesting shops to find. I also make sure to take pictures of any new kind of vending machine I find. So of the wierdest have been machines that sell soiled ladies underwear, fake flowers, and hamburgers (Yummy)

AND what Teegee said...

[sacajaweeda]

Farting in crowded elevators.

i go to LAN parties, watch tv/DVD a lot, surf a lot..... think that's basically it. i'm into hifi too, and sciencey stuff. and i like reading, terry pratchett is one of my favourites. and i like driving, just get in the car and go, always fun to see where you end up

[northcat_8]

My hobbies are sports. Football (American not sokker), Baseball, basketball, golf (I suck...but I can drink a shitload of beer in 18 holes)...just about anything competitive. Guns building, shooting. 4x4 vehicles, I have two 4x4 trucks, my friends have 4x4 trucks, we like to get into some beer and then go muddin or turfin. Love to work on them, build them, tear them apart, rebuild them.

Just about anything I deem as "fun" I would deem as a hobby. I deem this OT forum as a hobby, I've had so much fun here it should be illegal

....golf (I suck...but I can drink a shitload of beer in 18 holes)....

FORE!, HIC, FORE!, HIC

I agree. Doesn't matter how much you suck, as long as cart girl keeps bringing the beer!

Guns building, shooting. 4x4 vehicles:

Alcohol, motor vehicles, and guns....there's a recipe for disaster!

[Capmaster]

Shooting guns, reloading ammo, baseball, digicam, video capturing ("Capmaster" ) and archiving/DVD creation, playing piano, other music.

Actually beer, 4x4 and a muddy field was a source of great fun when I was younger. We use to go turfing through the field, one guy would be driving and the other 3-4 would be in the bed of the truck standing up and holding onto the roll bar. And the game was that the driver would try to throw the guys in the back out of the truck. The last one in the bed of the truck is the next driver.

In hind sight it probably wasn't the smartest game we ever played but it was a lot fun. And believe it or not, other than a few bumps and bruises we never had anyone get seriously hurt. No broken bones or anything else

[flaninacupboard]

did you ever roll the truck? i can imagine the guys in the back leaving both voluntarily and quickly!

[northcat_8]

Never rolled one, tipped a few over...our biggest issues came when it would get around 4:30am and the beer was starting to add up...my one friend always thought if he drove fast enough he could drive across the pond it wasn't a real pond, it was just a spot in the field that water would stand if it had rained in the past 3-4 days...anyway, he would take off for it, we would all jump out, he would hit it...wouldn't make it, truck stuck, then it would start sinking...there were many nights that my friend had to climb out through the sliding rear window because the water and mud was holding the doors shut...he's retarded.

We all had 4x4 trucks though so if one got stuck we had plenty to pull it out with

[flaninacupboard]

haha, so five trucks pulling one way is enough to dislodge a truck submerged in mud
i remember a friend of mine drove through a two foot flood in his renault clio - it died. didn't mind until i had wet feet We had to get pulled out and that was even funnier. one end of a rope tied to a tow truck, other end of roped being held onto by someone in the car. he wasn't pleased when my friend braked sharply

Recently got into photography. Its been a real pain in the ass though seeing as though I get free time around noon and the sun has been really uncooperative. It was cloudy all weekend but of course I was busy indoors. Hopefully it won't be too bad today as I'll be purchasing a new lens.

That is too funny.

We had about 140 ft of log chain between the 5 of us. But it was also a learning experience placing a tire between the chains will pull things out that you didn't think you could, plus you don't get that solid jolt when the chains go taunt. We usually had enough chain to get to solid ground or the road.

[flaninacupboard]

it seemed like a good idea at the time, we must have gone at least a mile before he said in a tired voice "can we stop? my arms hurt."

[pacmania_2001]

I remember we used to go ute-surfing back when I owned my old ute. Get a mattress in the back and tie a rope from the front of the car around and over the cab for the guy riding in the back to hold on to.

Quite a few fun nights doing that, especially when we were filming our hooligans documentary for school so we took the ute out to this dirt road to do it and I was driving along at about 100km/h. Came across a kangaroo on the road so swerved to avoid it, hit a puddle, spun into a 180 and managed to pull it up about half a metre from a fence paling. Needless to say my mate didn't want another go after that.

[flaninacupboard]

i guess a kangaroo makes a mess out of your car.... what are they, 100 kilos or something?

[pacmania_2001]

All depends on the variables of the situation.

A true Kangaroo (the big mofo's) will damn near kill you if hit them wrong when they fly through your windscreen. At the least you are going to have some decent damage to your car. 100-150 kgs + for the big ones, baby ones are probably around 50-60kgs.

The smaller and more common version, the Wallaby, will normally deflect off or go under or over your car. I've killed quite a few of these in my various times driving at night.

Not a good experience when you have a squeamish girl in the car and you hit two of them. Then you stop to see if they are okay and check the car and tell her "stay in the car, it ain't going to be pretty" then after about 10 minutes of trying to help Skippy back into the bush she comes over and sees the dead one lying next to it.

Can Post-Whoring be considered a hobby? :P


Watching soccer, archiving audio/music, and running my model trains.

And of course, drinking and sex.

[BobV]

Biking, fishing.

[flaninacupboard]

Not pretty. the worst we get is foxes, they leave a dent on the bonnet sometimes if you hit them quick. oh, occasionally there's deer too, they're pretty big but you usually just get their legs as they jump out the way. saw someone hit a pheasant a few weeks ago, that made a big feathery mess, and i got a sparrow last weekend. he was rammed in my air intake pretty good, just a pair of legs sticking out

[teegee420]

Can Post-Whoring be considered a hobby? :P

It is in my case. :P

[888888]

Playing bass guitar, riding my bike, watching TV, listening to classic rock and metal, getting fUUUd up

[stiltman]

I like taking my mini digicam to the local mall to get voyeur shots of girls and women. Then I sell them to a couple of websites.

Other than that, I stalk a couple of movie stars.
