What do you do?

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

Just curious, what do you geeks do for fun? Hobbies, etc. I know we all are avid football fans, or we wouldn't be here. I know some of you are avid hunters/gun nuts. Some of you compulsively stalk Obama, or murder prostitutes. What else? Tailgating? Clubbing? Stamp collecting?

 

I play chess. In fact, I am playing in a tournament tomorrow. It has become something of an addiction actually, but its cheap, and I enjoy it.

 

Anyway, just curious if any of you have lives aside from here.

[Sergeant Bri 0]

i took up the guitar just a couple years ago.

then i wanted to get into a casual just for fun band, but couldn't find any.

so i started one.

it's a good time.

[The Elevator Killer 497]

I do some astonomy. I have a telescope that I use now and then.

 

Ghost Hunt. Me and my girl go to haunted places and investigate with equipment like night vision video cameras, digital cameras, EMF readers, digital records. We had an article about New Orleans published not long ago. It was on line, but it's a start. No one believes until they see. Or the lights go out.

 

Karaoke. I love it. I do mostly Elvis stuff. People always tell me Fock you sound just like him, but they are drunk. I'm not an Elvi. No sideburns or that BS. Those guys creep me out.

 

Collect Bootleg Elvis recordings. Audience and soundboard concert recordings. Out takes from studio sessions.

[Kanil 520]

I play pool a couple nights a week on average. I also play quite a bit of online poker and NCAA/Madden on PS3 (a lot more PS3 time now that the wife is pregnant and asleep at 7pm every night).

 

nerdy german board games

Which ones? I don't know if they're German but I used to play a lot of Carcison (sp?), Puerto Rico and Lost Cities.

[jerryskids 5,295]

Taekwondo, whole family does it, been discussed here several times.

 

Golf I theoretically do, but I get out so infrequently it is hard to call it a true hobby. In fact I was supposed to play yesterday, but I'm getting over a stomach flu so I had to cancel.

 

Started guitar lessons a month or two ago. I'm a decent faker and had been for 20+ years, but never took lessons or learned how to play lead. My kids have been doing lessons, and I figured wtf, time I do something for myself. I travel and work too much to practice regularly, but it is fun. Right now I'm working on Hell's Bells.

 

Probably my biggest hobby is puzzles, mostly crosswords but I'll do anything in a newspaper. I find I don't read nearly as much anymore, instead I'll pick up a puzzle.

[jocstrap 8]

Is the prison lingo?

 

 

nope, I went to Dahlonega, GA last weekend again to pan - #1 gold producing county in Georgia. I'm a member of the gold prospector's association of America!

 

I found gold again!

Jk... Do a solid and video yourself playing hells bells and post to youtube

[BiPolarBear 476]

I play electric guitar. My main guitars are two Fender American Stratocasters.

[BLS 313]

Lets see..

 

I used to play pool quite a bit. Was ranked in the state... Around 100 depending on the week.

 

Now I like to shoot my Hand gun at the range and am getting pretty good. Last time out I put an entire 20 round magazine in the x from 22 feet.

 

I like to play ps3 but its really more so I don't go out and drink.

 

Obviously politics is an obsession.

[Strike 4,051]

Wow, tough question. So many answers....I'm very competitive so I do tend to gravitate towards competitive endeavors. But some things I just enjoy. Anyways, short list:

 

- World Class foosball player.

- Dominant Poker player, except when dealt AA.

- Exceptional real estate investor. Some would say unethically so. They would be wrong.

- Unbelievably proficient race car driver. Have been compared to Mario Andretti, before Andretti breached the womb.

 

In short, I am the most interesting man in the world. I don't usually drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

The Geek Club.

[Brad GLuckman 518]

I bang Supermodels on my yacht. I guess that can be considered a hobby.

[SUXBNME 1,348]

Incest, whole family does it, been discussed here several times.

 

Started masturbation lessons a month or two ago. I'm a decent faker and had been for 20+ years, but never took lessons or learned how to play with myself. My kids have been doing lessons, and I figured wtf, time I do something for myself. I travel and work too much to masturbate regularly, but it is fun. Right now I'm working on my balls

 

Probably my biggest hobby is peemus, mostly small ones but I'll do anything in a pinch. I find I don't read nearly as much anymore, given my blindness from teh masturbating, but still

 

Way to come clean, JK.

[shotsup 832]

I love diplomacy. A geek diplomacy game would be vicious! We should try to make that happen (you can play online).

[Inhiding 0]

I make the beer I drink, or I drink the beer i make. Won a few competitions with an english style barley wine (9.3% ABV) aged in an oak barrel. It is 2 1/2 years old and getting better and better.

 

Nice hobby with a great reward for a job well done. Gonna brew up a Porter next week.

 

[naomi 347]

But you have boobs so you get a pass. Actually if I had boobs THEY would be my hobby. I never even leave the house.

Corn is a multi tasker - in the feces as well as a side dish.

[Yer mom 2]

My hobbies include talking to SUXBNME on the phone. Sometimes when we are talking, he will have already consumed some beverages that contain alcohol and its hard to make out the words that are coming out of his mouth. Its so funny, hes so adorable, such an angel.

 

Other than that, kicking puppies, beating up small children and battering women are hobbies that are consuming most of my free time. I really had no idea I would excel so quickly, im totally dominating.
