What other entertainment do you guys enjoy?

Hanging with friends, netflix, porn.

Occasional golf, video games, movies, college basketball (hey, it's Kentucky; they sucked me in), hockey, horses.

My three main outside interests -

1. Railroad-related: Model railroading and railfan activities and trips.
2. Playing in local music groups
3. My dogs require a lot of my time.

The local strip club scene is about to make me revert to my childhood hobby of stamp collecting.

I always enjoy sailing but will soon be converting to a trawler yacht.

Also enjoy woodworking/carving.

About 15 years ago I got involved umpiring girls and women's softball. I started in Little League - odd because I don't have kids of my own. From there, I've gone up the to high school level. Enjoyed working the state tournament and summer traveling leagues.

Strip clubs and girls softball...hey, hey, now, don't get the wrong idea.

Hey Sharkhunter, do you ever try MMO's? If you like strategy/war games you'd probably really dig MMO especially ones with large organized pvp scenes like Guildwars 2 or the upcoming Wildstar. They can eat up enormous amounts of ya time tho so be warned :D

I get asked that question every time I meet a new stripper. If its a stripper I know I won't spend much time with I'll make shit up. If she's one I may decide to lavish with cash I'll be a little bit more honest and forthcoming with stories of hobbies and such.

Motörhead - ever get any offers to throw a game?
Personally, I've played golf for about the past 40 years. My handicap is soaring as I age and have other priorities. I've got a golf condo for sale on the NC/SC border which comes with very inexpensive golf on four great courses. $115,000 for 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse in Little River, SC if anyone's interested. ( less than I paid in 2002). What a deal.

graphic design....yeah....I'm dedicated to art...and baseball...love me some FUCKING baseball

I like to read and travel.

I like to read books, watch movies, and listen to music.

But I typically don't get asked about my hobbies. Question I get asked most by strippers is "what brings you here?" To which I answer, "I like to watch attractive women get naked."

Back several years ago before my local area had any decently fast Internet connections, I occassionally got together with some friends to do a LAN party I think they called it. We were hooking up our desktop computers to get them all linked and playing multiplayer games. It took up all day. It was fun but I don't usually have that much time even just for online. I did become quite good at a couple of online games but you're only good when you keep competing.

My friends left for work overseas, the guy I knew who organized it was in the national guard. I think we both got busy.

Learning how to play Quake by jumping into the middle of a multiplayer game was just a great way to die fast. Having a two month learning curve advantage with a game called Total Annihilation, classic and quite fun. That was several years ago but I still remember the guys saying from across the room after they had their bases all built up and they thought heavily defended, HEY, WHAT'S THAT SHOOTING ACROSS THE WHOLE SCREEN BLOWING UP EVERTHING? Lol, Big Bertha. A really big Gun.
Then at one point I demonstrated how the commander could do a suicide nuclear attack in the middle of their base. Their reaction? Classic.

It'san old game now but was a lot of fun.

Genealogy takes up a lot of my "free" time. Of course riding the hog is at the top.

Reading, writing. I play WoW, Rift, and I wanna check out this new Korean MMO called Bless or summat. Looks beautiful. No US clients yet, though.

I go to a lot of sporting events, usually hockey games, as Omaha has both a college team (UNO Mavericks) and a junior team (Omaha Lancers). The Lancers are only a couple miles from home, so that's always nice to go to. I wouldn't mind going to Husker football, but tickets are just too hard to get, or else it's the wrong time, plus that's only in the fall. I've promised my brother I'll get Creighton basketball tickets, just to see the legendary Doug McDermott in action and not at the Chipotle, which really happened, not to mention the fact Creighton is now part of the Big East. I didn't know the Big East was that big.

Whereas Club_Goer mentions being a railfan, I'm something of a roadgeek, and have a fascination with the old alignments of highways, not to mention old highways (my one trip to the clubs in ESL also included on that trip a walk across the Mississippi on the old Chain of Rocks bridge as well as portions of old US 66). FWIW, my dad is the railfan of the family.

I also read books and listen to music. I wouldn't mind going to a concert, but the last one I went to was Axl Rose and His Hired Guns (aka Guns'n'Roses, not the original band, of course). There've been a couple I'd like to have gone to, but something always came up, or else I couldn't get that day off.

I also spend way too much time online.

"and have a fascination with the old alignments of highways"

Dan, that's a very interesting hobby I've never heard of. I know there are clubs for specific highways - I know of the Lincoln Highway Association and of course fans of Route 66, but that's it.

If I'm not in the clubs...I like stealing ideams and selling them for large profits

Squirrel death fighting

I ski 30-35 times a year, golf 50 -60 times a year and play poker about 100 times a year in tournaments, but my favorite activity is driving around in the car with my wife and getting high. Strangely enough it goes well with skiing, golf and poker.

I forgot to mention I'm also an amateur Astronomer but haven't observed that many heavenly bodies lately. It's been years since I've done any astrophotography as well. When the first rover landed on Mars, I received a letter from the Planetary Society saying my name along with all other members was on Mars. It's on a chip courtesy of JPL who duplicated the chip. It reads "We are the Invaders of Mars! We claim this land as our own!" I was thinking oh great. Now if aliens come, they will be looking for me if there is a dispute. Over 140,000 names on those chips. Sounds almost biblical those numbers for some reason.

You can't read the names on the chip unless you use an electron microscope. I thought that was cool. My name is on Mars. Aliens come get me and take me to your leader, lol. ...could be an alien on here already.

The same week I also received a letter and certificate from Paramount stating I was an honorary officer of the Starship Enterprise.

Gatorfan may not realize it, but his hobby is going to create a race of clever, vicious 7-foot squirrels. We will become their slaves, and thus have no more time for hobbies.

hunting

Wait...what? There's something worthwhile outside do strip clubs? Do tell.

I like groovy Sci Fi my friends. And comic books. Don't get better than comic books! Qapla'

@DandyDan,

Old highway alignments? Like motorhead, I have never heard of that particular fascination.

I have a passing interest in something similar. It's not really a hobby, just an interest that I indulge whenever the opportunity may arise. Over my career in the obscure areas of the western Canadian sedimentary basin I have occasionally seen old settler trails or even older first nations trails and encampment sites.

I can easily get lost in my imagination whenever this happens. The guys who made these trails?.....where did they come from?......where were they going?....why stop here to make an encampment hundreds of years ago?

Perhaps I might be an archeologist manque?

I would guess these trails and encampments have to do with hunting Art.

"Other entertainment" I enjoy is/was listed in my profile [Which is down for repair, amongst other reasons] or you can find one of the HATER/ASSHOLES who have appropriated my profile [In an attempt to FOOL other members into thinking it is actually ME] and find the listing there of other entertainments. [Assuming the HATER/ASSHOLES didn't edit that info out]

My profile will be back soon. :)

@farmerart & motorhead-
I was always the navigator for when we went on vacation when I was a kid. Hell, I was the navigator for when my mother made her garage sale runs back then. I always had a fascination with road maps, which I suppose led to trying to drive old highways, or at least the ones that are drivable. I was briefly in a Lincoln Highway association once, as the Lincoln Highway went through Omaha and there is an old roadway in far west Omaha where the old highway went. I find it interesting that there is this road that hardly anyone travels today that in years gone by used to be part of the main road between New York and San Francisco. I suppose if I didn't spend money on strippers, I'd probably spend more money being a Roads Scholar, as someone I know likes to say. A number of people who are roadgeeks congregate at http://www.aaroads.com/forum/ to discuss roads and other things.

farmerart mentions seeing old settler trails or first nations trails, but most of the modern highway system basically took those over, not to mention the railroads.

guess alutard finally realized that his psycho profile completely tipped his hand to everyone as to what a complete psycho he is. So now he is going to write a profile that is much more benign. Sounds like a smart move on his part.

I am an amateur horticulturist. I like growing rare/heirloom species. I have what I like to call, my exotic garden. Currently Mother Nature grows, with my assistance, Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna, Henbane, Salvia Divinorum, Datura, White Lotus, Devil's Trumpet or Hell's Bells, Hemlock, and I'm waiting on Mandrake and some San Pedro Cactus. The Blue Lotus hasn't bloomed for me.

I enjoy playing basketball and football.

@SlickSpic,

Exotic garden, indeed. Where is the castor bean among all those benign beauties?
