Anyone got a weird hobby?

[Sephiroth]

Myself, I collect scorpions. No, not live ones-though I have considered getting myself an Emperor from time to time. Rather, I just collect all manner of scorpion related nick nacks. I have numerous necklaces with scorpion pendants, as well as scorpion shaped rings. I have a bunch of paperweights and decorations with preserved scorpions inside. I have several handsome specimens in picture frames that freak guests in my apartment out. And I have a bunch of scorpion patches on my favorite jacket. How about you guys?

I've started a random coaster collection. You know haw bars have promo coasters? I usually pocket a few them if I like the design.

I got these at a garage sale a while back and they remain the weirdest coasters I've ever seen.



If you want one PM me and I can send one to you sometime.

I've got some with pics of scorpions on them and also a set with pics of the fun house from Asbury Park on it before they tore it down.

I collect failure and shame.

I post on a forum filled with wrestling fans who are always convinced the sky is falling.

I'm scared that you're some kind of evil spirit or monster that feeds on negativity to get stronger.

Playing competitive foosball. I don't follow soccer and soccer isn't big here. I would play competitive air hockey if there was a competitive organized league here

[Mr PONYMANIA Mr Jenzie]

simming as many computer sports games as i can possibly do

and making spreadsheets to record the results in

concurrently i am using the following for my competitions

NHLPA93 (genesis) - EIGHT custom made roms, TWELVE overall, all the teams and players and stats all put in my me ..... and some of the graphics which i thoroughly enjoyed making



yeah that's right ..... TWO HUNDRED FORTY teams!

and the results are all put into my spreadsheet, and i calculate the team's rankings from them, and at the end of the season there's promotion and relegation, and also have my champions all put into ANOTHER rom for that competitions too!!!

i started with one rom of thirty teams, but as usual i decided to push the nucular button and add all those other international teams!

i've been doing the ice hockey thing since EA HOCKEY came out, almost twenty years!

phew

then there's FIFA07

got the PS2 version a few years ago and plowed into that, using the 21 leagues in the game ..... but got my hands on the PC version and now ..... SIXTY FIVE separate leagues (including lower leagues too), i sim ALL OF THEM so i get my qualifying teams, and i do the same as i do with the ice hockey



then there's MVP BASEBALL 2005 and TENNIS ELBOW (that's new)


and i started doing one for NBA LIVE 98 (genesis)

did one for RUGBY WORLD CUP 95 (genesis)
did a few seasons of GENE RALLY racing (PC)
MICROPROSE GRAND PRIX 1 (amiga)
PES3 (ps2)
the original JOHN MADDEN FOOTBALL (genesis) - taped the games at night, watched AND recorded the stats in the morning ..... thankfully only one season of THAT!)
and plenty of other games since the sinclair spectrum days!!!

.....

i might have some OCD levels of dedication with this

I've eaten a scorpion dipped in chocolate before. I liked the texture and you could eat the stinger. Not particularly flavorful though.

I fence?

I'm pretty boring. But in addition to the piles of martial arts I take, I fence once a week. It's super fun and laid back compared to the other stuff. Tag for adults.

He is merely an apprentice. He has not yet earned his other two heads.

I collect Gundam models, which is really not very weird, given it is a billion dollar+ industry, but it is fun to just have a bunch of robots on my bookshelf.

I write science fiction. A crap ton of science fiction.
