One of the things I like are pranks. I used to be into Frisbee based competitions. I went to Cornell and started the Frisbee golf club; Frolf. I like hunting as well and that guy from the old Six Flags commercial, well he rocks. Love Pig Latin and high pitched singing as well.

Join the club. I kayak fish off the California coast.

Do you aim for the kayaker himself, the spraydeck area, or try to get the hook right into the body of the kayak?

Not sure if I understood that. We normally launch from beaches out into the Pacific and paddle a good mile or so out and fish in 100-120 ft of water. All we do is drop the hook/sinker straight down. We usually use up to 8oz of lead sinkers for weight.

How many kayaks do you catch at the bottom of the ocean?!?

does World of Warcraft count as a hobby?

I've got about 140 days of my life logged into my two "mains." (though in fairness to myself, that counts when I was doing the R14 grind and would play at work... basically queue'ing up for BGs and randomly hitting the space bar to keep myself from auto-logging out due to inactivity)

For myself, I dont have much in the ways of hobbies, with two kids and being married.

Before all that I used to do rock climbing, white water rafting, hiking, camping, mountain biking.

Someone else said read, I love reading and I try to read at least one good sized book per month.

I still game quite a bit, mostly TF2.

I know. Its already burned a sizable hole in my wallet. I look forward to a bigger hole being burned. Its a healthy hobby though when compared to the excessive drinking some of my friends do, and cheap compared to my other love, which is guns.

Fitness, especially triathlon, is my biggest hobby. Followed from a long distance by gizmos and computing.

You do have a few Chris. Your hobbies are neffing, trolling, and ridiculing people as much as you can. That's three

As for my hobbies: Fly-tying and fly-fishing are tops on my list. I also enjoy Youporn for R&R.
