Untrendy pass-time?

I like watching old Columbo movies. There is one on hallmark now - Murder with too many notes. It has Billy Connoly in it - I never knew he'd done one!

Lol, you really should get out more! ;) (Look who's talking: I spend an incredible amount of time here, on these forums. :o One of my new year's resolutions has to do with cutting my forums time... as of tomorrow!)

Show me one person who has ever sticked to their new year's resolutions... :rolleyes:

That is trendy. :rolleyes:

What can I say? I'm trendy.;) When I turn down meat and people ask me why. I say because it is trendy not to eat meat. Saves being accussed of forcing my agenda on them.:)

Right now I'm reading a book just now called Space garbage. It is very interesting. Humans and the Earth are really insignificant.

Fred Hoyle. So much to answer for.

My biography would be called, From Clarks to Quasars.

Me! I made one not to make one:p

OK, so at the next Morrissien gathering we could all sit about with Columbo on the TV as we do cross stich whilst reading our stars and poping bouble wrap and not eating meat while Mr 23rd and EPBabe put names to faces for all the board members.

Sounds like a party to me!

;)

I'm in! :) And I won't eat meat at the party, I promise. But only because of you, guys. :cool: (By the way, I can cook. But that is trendy, I guess.)

I just bought my roommate the whole series on DVD for Christmas! We've been slowly working our way through them. I love it when Peter Falk's eyes get cross-eyed (he had one glass eye, ya know)! :p

Cross stitches (embroidery) :o
Aww I like cross stitch too. Haven't done it in ages, but I do like it, as untrendy as it may be! ;)

Play video games. I find it relaxing.

I ferment stuff--sauerkraut, cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, mead, beer, whatever. If that's not untrendy, I don't know what is.

Lol, I don't think there is anyone on earth who doesn't enjoy that! :D

I could spend a lot time doing that! I don't, but it can entertaining....:p

Mine is probably watching movies that were made in the 30's-60's. I can't get enough of them. To me, they really knew how to make a movie back then, that is real entertainment. Those actors were and are timeless classics with such beauty and elegance.

Doesn't that smell everything up?

According to Mrs. NRitH, yes; according to me, no. To her, sauerkraut smells like rotting shit, to me, it smells like lunch. Mmmmm.

Depends on how you define gross. In my pre-veg days, I ate (and liked) blood sausages over in there in the UK; the thought of that now sickens me. These days I'm particularly fond of natto, which is definitely an acquired taste--they're like rotten soybeans that somebody has spooged all over. See?

Haven't had any for a while. My kids like it, too, but the mucus is damn hard to get off your fingers afterwards.

I've been meaning to whip up a batch of this myself sometime.

I hope you make kimchee too. YUMMMMMMY!! :D

Stymie ate a beetle once. We told him it was liquorice.

About the time his stomach began to churn, his eyes grew large & bugged and steam came out his ears. He burned a trail of fire to the outhouse. Don't you just love Our Gang? :)

You're all rascals! Tell me, though: what's Jackie Cooper really like?

According to Mrs. NRitH, yes; according to me, no. To her, sauerkraut smells like rotting shit, to me, it smells like lunch. Mmmmm.

Sauerkraut can actually be quite delicious depending on the brand. The type of sauerkraut can make or break a hotdog.

My family and I were once in the local market and there was this horrible smell at the check-out. I mean foul. While we were wondering "Hey, what's that awful odor of death", I noticed a puddle of juice directly underneath the check-out conveyer belt. When I pointed out the collection of juice to the worker, they lifted this little compartment to find an old bag of kraut.

I will never, ever eat sauerkraut again.

I like gardening :o

hahaha, are they locusts by any chance???

My ex ate one of these.

(he's a Kiwi. They're weird.).

Until you've carefully shredded a head of cabbage into thin strips, sprinkled it with sea salt and caraway seeds, pulverized the living hell out of it with your bare hands until your knuckles sting from the rough grains of salt and the cabbage's own juices rise to cover the battered slices, then watched it bubble in the summer heat for a week, you have not tasted real sauerkraut. Forget that store-bought shit.

HATING, Bashing, Trashing, etc etc. From phony politicians to skanky reality tv "stars"... I enjoy HATING them all.

Jigsaw puzzles. :)

:D

Sour red onions and garlic are gorgeous....

1) Watching old comedies on dvds (either American or British)
2) watching the old TV show, Dark Shadows. I have 21 box sets of it but, they've already released up to 26. I have to get my arse moving to get the rest.
3) Going to gigs of any kind (except death metal or gangsta rap).
4) volunteering in the community @ various organizations to actually HELP people.
5) playing old board games & cards
6) going to see Independent movies about band's lives @ this independent theater in Philly.
7) collecting old vinyls, books & magazine clippings on various bands that I love.
8) going to ice hockey games of our local hometown (basketball too)
9) playing pool, tennis, badmitton & bowling yet, I suck at them all
10) traveling to odd places (next up is Romania)
11) watching any form of psychological thrillers, gothic fiction (reading them too)
12) collecting certain types of recipe books
13) arts & crafts of anykind (even though mine suck)
I don't consider all those to be "untrendy!" If they are, then I need to re-evaluate my hobbies. :p

HAHA wow, that's funny!

Another one of my untrendy hobbies is reading Agatha Christie mysteries or watching the film versions of her books. You know it's bad when even Morrissey has called Agatha Christie "ungroovy!" :eek:

It can be relaxing. You can switch off and think of nothing except the image you are making.

I fancy something like this: nice attractive picture to aim towards, and not too many pieces. :D

I had sauerkraut on a hotdog in New York when I was there - loved it. It was amazing!

Is doing metalwork all ofternoon in your garage trendy? No? perhaps I should have mentioned that too!

Actually - I love pickled anything, especialy eggs from the chip shop. Pickled egg anyone? Mmmmm ;O)

Ooh, now pickled eggs are one pickled thing that I don't like. My Brit stepdad eats them on a daily basis. When I was a kid, we slapped a biohazard sticker on his pickling jar.

My dad eats "wallys" which are pickled gherkins.Oh the arguments w`eve had over the validity of the term "wally".:confused:

Imagine being in a fish `n` chip shop and asking for a "wally".:o

Well, I have no idea what other meanings "wally" has over there, but over here, a "pickle" is a pickled gherkin. We don't have that mixed pickle stuff that you guys eat with ploughman's lunches.

You have to try one - My favourite are home made ones done in malt viniger - my dad used to make them when I was a kid. The chip shop ones are done in white viniger, they are less sweet. Still lovely though! I would send you one but 'spect it might get a little squashed in the post..... :confused:

I like that pickled cauliflower you get in Spain.Ooh I want some now.:(
