Ridiculous Hobbies
What is the most ridiculous, silly, complete waste of time, thing that you do in your spare time?
I like to play Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle Earth 2 on my computer.

Yea, spend too much time on forums.

2. Meetings - Work kinda requires it though even though 50 minutes of them have nothing to do with me.
3. Watch TV - But my wife and I have to have _something_ in common

Let me add another piece of criteria.

Do you do something that would make other people look at you and think, "What a loser!"?

Let's be honest, folks.

Which folks? None of my friends would think that and I don't much give a crap what anyone else thinks.

Build and paint historical miniatures ....both figures and vehicles. I find most people who aren't into that sort of thing tend to think of it as a 'losers' pastime.

Used to smoke. Waste of time, health, and people looked down at it...

I used to collect comics, but I don't think that's so ridiculous anymore.

But damn! That car collection is outright COOL!!

Yup. L-O-S-E-R.

My wife cannot believe how often I play it. She keeps asking, "Didn't you win that game already?" The gameplay variabilities make it endlessly replayable, especially if you get the "Rise of the Witch King" expansion pack, which I think is the best of the three games.

Okay, I may have just outed myself as a big geek.

As long as you don't dress up as the Witch King while you play, you should be alright!

Back around 2000/01 if you shopped around, you could find those for 50 cents.

I think I bought my Grandson 3 to 400 of the darned things!
