Bose & Harleys?

[SlumpBuster]

Okay, I got some spice. Buying an expensive esoteric speaker and amps is not a "hobby." Placing speaker wire on ceramic cups is not a "hobby." At best these things are endeavours. Merely buying crap and amassing more and more it, or better and better, or more expensive and more expensive, is not a hobby.

Building a Heathkit amp is a hobby. Building a good looking good sounding two way is a hobby. Hi-fi was originally a hobby because you couldn't actually purchase much of the equipment in anything but kit form. Or you could order JBL paragon plans and try to build them yourself.

To make my point. No one has the hobby of purchasing kitchen appliances. "Dude, check out my Bosch appliances. I used to think they kicked ass, but then I noticed the dishwasher was leaving some food residue. Only a couple of people could notice it, everyone else said no food residue was there and clean is clean. But they're not into this hobby. So then I got these kick as Vikings and Wolfs. Plus, I found this vintage Hotpoint on ebay from this guy in HongKong. That's gonna be fresh when it comes in. Also, ApplianceReview.com is for suxors! ApplianceGurus.com is where it at! And, Kenmore is 50% of homes because they are marketing geniuses."

Hobby my butt.

Oh yeah, Harleys are for criminals and dentists. The Acura NSX is where its at.

Who are you to say what is and isnt a hobby? ANYTHING can be a hobby.

Thank you think. While washing machines & dishwashers collectors are a pretty esoteric lot, can opener & bottle top removers are collected by thousands of people. It's a REAL hobby collecting these things, and people search all over the world for them.

my buddies collect guns, shoot them and reload their shells in the basement. Its a hobby even though they don't mchine their own barrels. Many of them are divorced.

Of course this is a hobby. We are all trying to find the purest of sounds we all enjoyed when we were younger and can't possibly appreciate now because our hearing is degraded. Its a race against time. Like the mid-life dentists around here that destroy my Sundays with loudly tuned Harleys. I wish the worst for them and all their large bottomed wives as rear stablilizers.

This is a great site. I have been hammered by english guys, learned a few great insults and occasionally got some superb advice. It is plenty instructive and occasionally nasty.

Do you think the two things have some correlation?!
