Other hobbies

[Mark McQuaide]

Since everyone's posting home theatre systems, pets, etc, here's what I spend my non-Marauding spare time on:

[SHERIFF]

My first hobby is collecting weapons of small scale destruction. (Had to be careful, if I had said Weapons Of Mass Destruction the FBI would intercept this communication) :)

My second hobby is taking old two way radios (mostly Motorola), restoring them to like new condition, and selling them.

My third hobby is collecting law enforcement stuff.... badges, patches, shirts, caps, etc..... some of the local county police officers think this should be illegal. I told them where to stick their opinion. :)

My fourth hobby is messing with a bunch of police impersonators on Al Gore's Internet. Occasionally this hobby is very time consuming, if I get them wound up tight enough. They're just like these little wind up toys you get in McDonalds Happy Meals.

That's a pretty dangerous combination of hobbies. You could end up getting drunk and taking a picture of yourself naked!

What, no NX-01?

[Dr Caleb]

No model available yet. I'd like DS9 and some Cardassian things too.

I wanted to make that P-38 into a remote controller, but it took 6 months to build. Crashing bad!

[Brutus]

A fellow fan of Frank Castle!!

[Dr Caleb]

A fellow fan of Frank Castle!!

Frank's tha man! I always preferred the human who was really good at what they do, as opposed to the ones who got slimed by radioactive sludge. "Rights? You have the right to go *splat* when you hit the pavement, you have the right to bleed to death in the gutter. . . "

Frank Castliginone (?), Bruce Wayne, Logan, Robin/Nightwing. Got lots of Punishers going back to the mid 80's - all number 1's - too. Thinking about selling them to get supercharged.

[halucin8]

I make beer. Lots of beer.

:beer:

[Mark McQuaide]

Bigger is better :D

Range isn't an issue, you want to keep them where you can see them! I had a fake pilot in the cockpit but he was so scared after the first flight he ran away? :help:
