Do movies and music count (the things we get a HT set-up for?). Otherwise the only thing I can think of is women.

For one dollar I'll guess your weight, your height, or your sex.

detective392 · 01-01-2011, 05:53 PM

Reading, video games and archery

Grandpaaaaa bought a rubber.

Video games. I own all three currnet consoles, and all four of last generation's consoles (Xbox, Camecube, PS2 & Dreamcast), along with many past generation consoles (Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Genesis/Sega CD, 3DO, Playstation, etc, etc). My all-time favorites were the Genesis/Sega CD & the original Playstation. IMHO, they had the best, most varied & innovative libraries ever.

Cooking. I love to cook & experement with ingredients. I make my own hobanero hot sauce, that is deceptively sweet at first. I always tell people It's not hot, it's kind of sweet with just a little kick, to get them to try it. After they take some, they go, Yeah, it isn't that hot, you were... Then their eyes bulge, the sweat comes and they (stupidly) grab a glass of water (sinister laugh).

Art. While I don't paint much anymore (I used to), I'm still into art. I (briefly) went to art school where I really concentrated on color theory. Now, I don't do much except watch design shows on HGTV & look through art & design magazines.

I enjoy working on cars, video games and going to the target range.

Alex_DeLarge · 01-01-2011, 06:29 PM

Star Wars memorabilia especially autographs, PS3 and Aston Villa.

Here's one of my babies...

LMFAO! You must be as old as me.

See this. I got this for FIVE BUCKS!

I agree. The Genesis was an awesome system back in the day. I bet I played that more than I ever did any of the new systems.

He made her sing... From her diaphram.

My friend Jay & I used to listen to that record (yes record) all the time. We could recite the entire routine word for word, in-time with Steve. Of course, that was years ago.

My girlfriend 'LOVES' The Sopranos. Not seen it myself yet, but what I have seen while she's been watching it does look like my kind of thing. I will get round to watching them though.
I've got signed posters from the other 2 films of the original trilogy and individual character signed photo's, but I'd be here all day posting them. Never bothered with the prequel fillms due to the fact that I don't think they're any good at all. Oh sorry, I've got a Ray Park / Darth Maul photo.

By sports I take it you mean across the board? Motoracing, Football, Golf, etc?

Al_The_Strange · 01-01-2011, 07:44 PM

I also enjoy writing, video gaming, photography, videography, and collecting music. I collect movies, music, business cards, keychains, some film paraphenalia, some coins, some postcards, and possibly one or two other things.

I enjoy bowling and softball on a casual level. I used to SCUBA dive, but haven't been in a long while. And though I've spent most of my life hating it, I seem to be enjoying jogging a lot more these days.

I hope to do more local travel this year. I also hope to do more novel reading. I seem to have taken an interest in manga, graphic novels, and comics as well.

Chances are also good that my dad will try and drag me into bottle digging this year...
