Hobbies? Hobbies.

I forgot to mention collecting dust.

Move around a bit. No more dust problem.

If he tackles people, he can take care of their dust problems too.

Indeed, but if he lets the dust build up enough, then tackles them into a puddle, he has mud.

This is true, but that leads to a tendency of tackling octogenarians and quadriplegics. I have discovered through experience that this is frowned upon. Pity. They could use excitement.

What sort of octogenarians are you tackling? The ones who stay a few nights at this hotel called The Morgue don't seem to mind, although the doctors, family members and kind police officers seem to have some issue with it.

trees, trains, computers and little furry creatures with big sharp teeth. and a good many other things that involve creating and exploring.

i don't count collecting as a hobby, that's a con game and an ego trip.

real hobbies are about creating things and being creative.

of course i don't create trees or life forms, just models of trees and images of imaginary sapient life forms, which may or may not resemble people on other words.
trains are the main thing. my first love was seeing a model railroad when i was little more then a year old. i wasn't talking coherently yet, but i was able to toddle around a friend of my father's basement, chasing the little trolly he had running all the way around it, much as my housemate's cats chase mine around now.

then there was the forest i grew up in. i don't mean i have a hobby of silvaculture, nor even zooanthropology, but i do number myself among some wonderful people who have a particular affinity for non-humans.
the latter evolved out of an interest moon mining engineer's daughters and their little extraterrestrial friends. or something like that.

actually i like to imagineer little people size houses and trains and alien worlds and naturally, to make pictures that anyone will look at, and hopefully be inspired by, they need to have people and furry people just look better, so there you go.

Thank you Cam, for dismissing about 99% of the hobbyists in the world. Collecting is a learning process, you learn how things are made, the history behind them, what makes some rare and some common - even if they look similar. In some sense collectors are saving history. What an arrogant attitude you display.

I tend to collect coins from before 1950. If I find one I hang onto it. Same with two dollar bills I find and dollar coins.

I really can't get my head around the whole thing of being a collector. You're all weird

My collecting started over when I was an adult, and found a box of my old G1 Transformer toys when helping clean out the attic at my parents. Part of it is an element of capturing my own childhood. Or in short, out of nostalgia. my collection consists primarily of G1, Alternator/Binaltech, Masterpiece (Presently drooling over the upcoming Prowl and Smokescreen MP figures coming this summer), Movieverse and Prime, with a smattering of some Classics/Generations/Universe characters.

So you are hunter then? Or farmer?

[Tsa-la-gi Nation]

I grew up in the antique business & was a comic book collector. Now I try to keep up with a Buick Grandnational that I bought 20 years ago & I am trying to restore my house that was built in 1917. I also like to bird watch & hunt for bargains at the Goodwills in my area.

I'm surprised Gollum hasn't come along and said: "Hobbies? Hobbitses!"

I'm not tackling any octogenarians any more. Not all are as durable as they look.

not to mention every museum, art gallery and Library in existence, sheesh I suppose my collection of rocks and shells needs to be dumped now...

[Jagalonia]

I sell cocaine and cocaine acessories.

Clearly, they should be. Since we're egotistical, arrogant subject to being conned (if we're not con artists ourselves), our collections, which we've annotated, labelled and carefully curated, are without value. We must, instead, begin making things, even if we have no creative gifts, and clear the collections out so we can store all our creations instead.

And, Cam, just so we're clear, hobbies or avocations, are things we do about which we're passionate. Some of us are passionate about cross-stitch and knitting, some are passionate about old books and antiques. Dismissing someone's passion so cavalierly, because it's not something you would do, is not just unkind, it's really low.

[The Franko-Gothic Empire]

I play the bagpipes and I like to draw maps, flags and warriors.

Wow, I sound like a special person.

[Volnotova]

I read the thread title as "Hobbes" and thought this was a philosophy thread.

I am dissapointed now.

That said: Music(Singing, Guitar, Violin, Piano, composing stuff, etc.), programming, writing and philosophy (hurr hurr).

Also, semantics.

[Dumb Ideologies]

There is no time for leisure in the state of nature!

I wonder if Hobbits have a Hobbes and if he has any Hobbies.

Bummer.
Have to tackle the younger set. What a pain.

[Serrland]

I collect old books. And recently, old maps.

As for hobbies that aren't collecting, I enjoy fishing and hunting, as well as playing darts.

[Tekania]

In response to Cameroi's opinion on collector hobbies, and on behalf of collectors everywhere... I have enlisted the aid of my collection in creating a pictorial opinion response to Cameroi....
