Menna, it was kind of sarcastic (more purposely abtuse really) but I also recognise how ecentric this whole thing of hobbies is. Of course its dull discussing snuff I just happen to enjoy doing it and I don’t find any contradiction in that. I mean I don’t think things are meaningful just because I like them. Personally, I think it would be a tragedy on a global scale if the Human race stopped doing silly things. The test card watchers, amateur moustache growers and the international confederation of recreational wet shavers all make being alive less tedious. In a nice way.
one mans poison is anothers boring hobby.
As ever Bob you have it by the balls.
not that theres anything wrong with that.
The man’s a genius in my book…
just a party favor I got from God that’s all.
@Bob: Watching clouds to see faces/animals/human bodies etc forming as the clouds move on their way.
In addition to snuffhouse, I also research obsolete lighting methods (gaslighting, arc lamps, etc) and biomass gasification for vehicles. Just last night I was sitting at the local greasy spoon pinching Dental Mild and reading about woodgas cars and Robin Mackay’s excellent SAE papers on practical vehicular gas turbines. Recreationally, mind you. I’ve been out of college for 10 years…
snuffster , yep, you’re totally right. Silly things are indeed necessary, and they usually fuel big changes and discoveries PP, I’ve just realised why you said that, LMAO Pieter , I love doing that kind of thing when I have to wait LOL James S. , well, that could end up being useful to you. (Re)Discovering alternative ways to power vehicles is always a good thing.
You never know where anything is going to lead. Life has more to do with throwing dice then many people like to pretend. Think of all the little actions you may take throughout your life, think of a few specfic cases where something “insignificant” changed your life dramaticaly. Thinking things like that is more then a hobby for me.
@ Bob…come on mate “Say no to drugs”
@James s That is somewhat strange…but I have come across mention of it with the HOLZBRENNER VOLKSWAGENS (Kdf Wagons) (1942-1945) Yes, it was interesting and you have to wonder why we aren’t exploring it today?
How about listening to golf on xm radio.Only to beat by listening to Indy car races. What’s next, a fishing channel on xm?
Now PP drugs don’t talk so how are they gonna ask me a question.
@bob , yeah, I love thinking about reality too. It is really interesting, and getting to understand it is very helpful in enjoying life. Also, I ROFL’d at PP’s post and your answer. You’re great, both of you (:'D)
You know all fishing shows seem to be in the summer even though I know it would be boring as sin I’ve always wished they would make an ice fishing show. Then when it was just a touch to cold to be out on the ice I could at least watch somebody else freeze their ass off.
lol JD…the ice fishermen are never sober enough to make the shows. But thats really the whole point of ice fishing anyways. I guess we could always get blind drunk and pretend we are ice fishing. same thing.
Lol now that u mention it I don’t really even remember the last time I went ice drinking… I mean fishing. I thought that frozen pond water slushy tasted funny, 
That’s brilliant sit on ice and no ones gonna both to see if you’re breaking any laws.
@Menma: Oh yes…one day I’m hoping to save up for an older carbureted pickup truck, which is a good candidate for a wood gasifier since it has a nice big platform for you to put all the equipment on! @Bart: There’s quite a movement in rediscovering gasification (I’m also a member at victorygasworks.com). Over a million vehicles ran on wood and charcoal gasifiers in Europe during WWII, when gasoline was either rationed or completely unavailable to civilians in many countries. Of course, after the war ended everybody dropped it like a hot rock since petrol was again available, but unfortunately a lot of the knowledge went by the wayside too. Great leaps are being made, though, in developing countries where “storebought” energy is unavailable and there’s often a surplus of biomass laying around…
