tennesseeboy Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Gypsy tipping? Taking pregnancy tests with your cousin?
Chef Jim Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Collecting and drinking good wine. Unfortunately the latter impedes the former.
IDBillzFan Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 My hobby is beer tasting. One keg at a time.
ieatcrayonz Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Taking pregnancy tests with your cousin? Tied for fifth cousin doofus. That's very distant.
Dante Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 My hobby is beer tasting. One keg at a time. Im actually a member of "The Connoisseur's Club" at a restaurant/bar right near my house. When you drink 100 different beers you get your name painted on the wall in green. If you drink 500 different ones its painted a different color and larger. When you drink 1000 different beers it steps up again and probably liver disease at that point.
Fezmid Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Currently immersed and growing increasingly addicted to Eve Online. Space mmopg. I thought about trying that out a year or so ago, but they had no free demo, so I never did. I like playing video games -- Xbox360, Nintendo DS, PC, hopefully a Wii soon. I like photography. I've taken some pretty good shots I think. I used to write a lot, and really enjoy it, but other things have taken over. I really should start again. I used to make some cool models out of LEGO, but those got packed away when we moved and I havn't unpacked them yet... Videography is fun too, as is making DVDs (related). The Bills DVDs used to be fun, but then we started to suck, so I haven't made as many. I might do some of our late-season games where we actually started playing well, but we'll see if the other hobbies get in the way. CW

Good thing about the game is that the learning curve is steep. Weeds out all the teens. Takes a while to get the hang of it and the game is very deep but thats what keeps it interesting. I would wait until next year to do resume your videography thing.

BoondckCL Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I realize that I have nothing approaching a hobby and feel that this something I want to change. What do you folks do as one? Writing. I write in my spare time, not in a gay way or anything, and not there is anything wrong with that, but i do it because it is something that might make me money some day. I've been published a few times and was recently asked by an editor for the local paper to write a piece about my journey to college from the shambles of my youth. Would have been a real touching piece, but number one they didn't offer me enough money, and number two there is not much i could say without getting my ass kicked by the people that i am associated with based on certain situations that would be discussed in the piece itself.
Chilly Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Would you have mentioned the mailboxes in the journey?
BoondckCL Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Would you have mentioned the mailboxes in the journey? Somewhere in there, a mailbox reference would have come up, but we got caught for that, so it's not like we were facing possible indictment. *EDIT: Should add an LOL or something along those lines due to the fact that a lot of people would think that i feel as though i would face indictment for a petit crime like this.
millbank Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 walking the back roads and taking photo's. baking, particularly bread, the smell of fresh baked bread in a house is wonderful learning new information about computing and putting systems together. getting up early and visiting local farmers markets and meeting friends there. riding horses with family reading writing stories taking time to be with family every day.....
Dwight Drane Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Usually a hobby is a side effect of a passion. What are your passions? Being a lawyer it may serve you well to take up golf or skiing as those are popular business trips. You already like football, so the next offshoot is gambling, which is big in white collar land. I don't know if you're married or close to it, but any hooby that isn't firmly established beforehand will get nixed by the wife....and it is hard enough keeping ones you already have unless she is into it too. Hopefully you'll make cash and can throw some at her to keep her quiet. My big hobby is horseracing, and it's also a job. It's one of those, "if you love what you're doing it's not really work" deals. If you are opinionated, like to research, and are decent with numbers, you should catch on quick and have fun. You have to think to make money, but you are entertained as well.
BillsFanNC Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 i am actually coming down to Cary this weekend to visit my sister...any good beer places to visit? Cary and surrounding towns have some ok places to get beer. You can usually find a few good offerings on tap at either Harrison's or the McGregor Ale House. However, if you are going to be out towards Durham then I'd really recommend these places: The Federal Tyler's Actually now that I think of it you could head out towards my neck of the woods in Holly Springs and go to the tour at the Carolina Brewing Company. Their tours are every Saturday at 1 PM (although I have learned from experience that if you arrive at 12:30-ish they'll still give you a glass to begin sampling). It's self serve free beer until about 2:15 to 2:30. They only shut the taps down for about 30 minutes during the actual "tour". My record is five pints of free beer, but then again I can walk there from my house. Carolina Brewing Company
Wacka Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I geocache. It's walking in parks and hiking while looking for things with a GPS receiver. It gets me out of the house instead of sitting in front of the TV (except for the Bills). I geocached around Cazenovia, South, and Como Parks while I was back in Buffalo for Christmas.
