Need A Hobby?

A man needs a hobby.



I guess I'm not well-rounded. I seldom take a vacation (never, come to think of it), and I don't spend a whole lot of time in church, though I do not consider myself a pagan.



All I do is work to pay a bill, and I'm approximately forty eight hours ahead of the rest of my bills.



Based on this, I recently came to the conclusion that much of life is pointless.



I need a hobby.



I need a hobby, something besides the simple desire for more sex. That brings up an interesting point. Why is it that sex, is not considered a hobby? Maybe it's because you don't use glue, or epoxy, like in making a model airplane.



Then again, maybe you do.



In any event, I'm trying to find myself a hobby, something at which I can relax, and find personal enrichment.



Here are some possibilities that I have actually acted upon, or have been actively mulling over:



Like most suburbanites, I live in fairly close proximity to other houses. The elderly lady in the house across from me stares at my room window a lot. We've all seen people who stare. Maybe she's just bored. But I've come to the conclusion...she's watching me for some reason.



There can only be one possibility.



She's watching me dress. And undress.



After a week of this, I decided to give her her money's worth.



I now do two nightly shows, and one in the morning.....at my window. My dressing and undressing shows.



I go into a slow dance routine, and flex my huge, rugged jungle muscles. I recently purchased a bow tie like the kind used by Chippendale's male dancers, and I wear an old high school jock strap from PE.



I'm thinking of adding a strobe light to expand the act.



This is a hobby that's better than gin rummy.



And, you're making people happy.



Another potential hobby involves the clever use of empty toilet paper rolls, you know, those little cardboard cylinders once the toilet paper is used up. I have long

Did you forget something? Like the body of your post?

Nope. See the thread title above. "N/T" means "no text".

Spell it out next time or suffer the same fate. Bwahahahaha!

Down here, NT means Northern Territory.

You're coming perilously close to sounding like your good friend Greg, "mate".

Could be worse. N/T also refers to a Windows flavor.

Nope, that be NT. Next?

The absolute worst would be "No testicles".

You need to learn to distinguish between my actual postings and those postings Ray made but claimed to be mine!

If you want to show off your ignorance of posting contractions it's no skin off my nose. N/T (not NT) has meant "no text" in international newsgroups for as long as I've been posting, which is about ten years now.

Of course, I *did* pick it up from postings on motorcycle groups, but I find it difficult to imagine that bikers as a whole are more literate than model railroaders...

(More adventurous? Perhaps. More literate? Unlikely.)

LMAO,

Well, I have never seen it in many years and many groups. However one could understand that contributors to motorcycle groups would find getting past the subject line very challenging and would therefore need to resort to N/T.

Laugh all you want. Most people who have been around for ten years or more know to use alt.test for a test post.

Did you see your subject? Was that some sort of secret code or something?

"No, we've already got one." What's that supposed to mean?

No, no, no: it's one of those "Tom Swifties" (remember those?): "Who stole my jockstrap?", he demanded testily.

Ray, you really are thick as a brick. Look up, man, look up ...

Mmmm........exactly how does one *do* that?

Write above the staff, perhaps? ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________

Uh, it wasn't a test post.

Of course not. I *always* type with my eyes closed... Ahem.

Oh dear. Either you simply *are* thick as a brick (hereafter known as the Nebenzahl theorem) or -perhaps more likely- your newsreader failed to pick up the OP I was replying to: "Need A Hobby?"; which was a none-too-clever troll posted by someone with too much time on their hands.

Now; what's *your* excuse?

What can you expect from folks who have to go to the [e.g.] Harley store to get something exciting between their legs?
