What other obsessions do you have?


It's obvious that many of the people here have gone off the deep end (yes I include myself) with equipment and music purchases.

The question is what other obsessions do you have, or what else are you really into?

I was getting carried away with Martial Arts before an injury sidelined me, I would rather ride my motorcycle than drive, and I spend way too much time on the computer (most of it on AudiogoN). If I had the money I would have a bigger and better collection of wine. Other than that I'm perfectly sane! NO really!!!

"My point exactly. And up until your most recent post, I actually found you to be a pretty affable guy."

You haven't read too many of my posts then! You must have missed a few doosies! I think the moderator may have removed many of them though. You can still find a few in the archives that they may have missed if you look hard.

Your point is entirely lost since your posts just goes to show that you only know a very small part of who I, or anyone else here really is. Your readiness to jump to conclusions based upon what is a pretty simple question, speaks volumes to the hypocrisy of your statement in your casting judgment upon so many from their rather simple and brief responses.

Quite seriously, I think I am quite an affable guy, and I'm sure many others here are as well. Just couldn't quite figure out your motivation for posting such a caustic statement to this thread. You didn't really address my (hidden?) question as to why you did. Are you having a bad hair day and taking it out on the rest of us? I haven't read the entire list of reponses here, but have read many and I can't figure out where you are coming up with "braggarts and snobs"? You've actually come off as quite a snob yourself I'd say, and you've entered into a pissing contest yourself here, which was a pretty obvious response to your trolling. So why did you post this thread if you think so highly of the content/subject/responses. Would you elaborate on your most righteous observations about those among the group who do not meet your criteria for "a few exceptions" ? I have no doubt more than just two of us would take offense to the fact that you chose to post such a statement.

PS You don't have to take my word for it at all....just go and ask Jo' Mamma! She saw what you did to that poor donkey. She told me the pictures are up on the Web somewhere. Do a Google search on "Hypocrite Audiophile Donkey-Love Tiny" and you'll find the pictures your mommy took of you. You'll see where I drew my conclusions from!

What the F%*K?

I was actually thinking that I shouuld reconsider my statement and thought your reply was thoughtful (thought provoking)...until the end. Totally over the top.

I wonder...Would you have said that to my face? Or in the presence of your own mother?

Grow up!
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!
