What other obsessions do you have?

Guys...... (deep, fatherly voice)...... We're here to enjoy ourselves, and learn something. And what have we learned today? That we grow up, earn more money, buy bigger toys, but we're only bigger boys. Let everyone post an off-topic thread if they like, and if you don't like it, don't answer. And now, go play together, or you'll be grounded.
And, for the thread: motorcycles, women (although they don't seem to like me :( ), whiskey, soccer and my job.....

Gullahisland - I have many friends who I would readily say something to that nature to their face and they'd probably laugh their asses off because they share a similar sense of humor. Judging by your reaction I'd say that you don't share the same sense of humor, and if I knew you better I'd probably not say something like that to your face. My mom would just roll her eyes....she may even laugh if she read it in the context of this thread. I thought your own initial comeback was pretty good though.....at least the first one. I guess that's why I thought you may appreciate the nature of mine. In case anyone actually took it seriously, it was meant as humor at the expense of Gullahisland. He's actually hung like John Holmes and prefers the intimate company of creatures much further up the chain of evolution than the Donkey. How's that? Feel better now?

As to your reconsidering your statement, don't let the donkey pictures stop you. I still wonder what provoked you to choose to chime in with the caustic remarks that started all this - I was hoping you'd answer my question and find the "over the top" humor amusing, or even come back with something better still. Guess my hopes have been dashed by my own childish self-indulgence and none of us well ever know the motivations behind the brooding and complex demigod that is Gullahisland!

I'll work on that growing up part too. Thanks for the tip! You oughta see someone about that sense of humor though!

Big winds often originate from empty caves.

If you gentlemen do not understand, I would not be surprised.

Address with contemplativeness.

Have a nice day, Ed.

Hey Ed - Big winds indeed! Guess I had too much tofu and dried fruit. Once in a while you just gotta let'em rip. Sorry for the stink folks! Jeez, somebody light a match!

OK, I read through all the responses to the thread now and I now I really dont get where Gullahisland is coming up with "braggarts and snobs"?!

On a more interesting note perhaps; Seems like the most popular other obsessions are led by wine and other alcohols of distinction. Also quite popular are cars/motorcycles, fishing, dogs, photography and bicycles. A few folks are interested in their families/wives as well. Snobbery didn't even make anyone's response.....well, except for Gullahislands.

PS Another interesting point to consider is that alcohol actually impairs the senses, including the sense of hearing. That said, I certainly enjoy my red wine, though would not say it was among my obsessions.
