Well chess for me is so much mental masturbation. Might as well have a nic; chessticles ;-(


Are you sure that you didn't get injured at bowling ?

Well sorry I have given up bowling for sex. The balls are lighter but you don't have to change your shoes!

As for a glass set. Unforunate accident. Ia Drang Valley 1965.

About beating women. All battered women seem to be moving to NCarolina because the Caroling Panthers can't beat anyone! I have renamed them the Carolina Possums. They play dead at home and get killed on the road ;-)

When I was but a nipper my parents took me climbing in the Lake District. I loved it.

When I was 8 I could beat the other kids at chess, even when they cheated.

Around 25 years ago, I was a decent pianist and loved my martial arts (specificially Wing Chun)

About 15 years ago, I played rugby to a reasonable level. Then I moved to the colonies, where I could ony play against antipodeans twice my size!

When I was old enough to know better I climbed Mt Washington in February and loved every minute.

Other interests have come and gone. Chess and the mountains will remain with me til the end of my days. Neither will ever be more important than my beautiful wife and sons

Is trolling a hobby?

At least it's not as prosecutable and questionable as harrassing young and elderly women

Trolling is a way of life and a vehicle for curbing the bordem we all face by staring at the shiny screen all day.  Remember folks, the funniest solution (as viewed from the 3rd person) is always the right one!

Well not really but they were where I was introduced to mountain-like things Laughing The Cascades were my most recent trip. Loved them!

Other major hobbies:

Reading- mostly fiction when I was younger, these days its much more nonfiction, news, and current events.

Cooking- one upon a time I cooked for a living.  Now its just a home enthusiasm.

Other Games- RPGs, used to play alot of MMOs, but Im in recovery over that. 

Music- my somewhat schizophrenic playlist ranges from Marty Robins and Guy Clark to Charlie Parker and Bud Powell.
