Everyone's hobbies seem odd to people who don't enjoy them.

Duck hunting? frick getting up at the arse crack of dawn, freezing your arse off in a blind for maybe - MAYBE - a chance to kill a duck if everything goes right. I mean planetary conjuction kind of right, but without the predictability. And I'm not an animal rights guy - I'm happy to kill a couple of ducks after the shite they've put me through. They've got it coming. But frick all that. It's cold outside, and usually cold INSIDE the camp too. However, wood duck and sausage gumbo is delicious.

Deer hunting? At least I'm usually dry and relatively warm in a box blind. But I don't get many Utils of Value by ambushing Bambi in front of the feeder he's been eating at for months. It's like shooting your neighbor's dog. Except more delicious.

fricking golf!?! I'll pass. I have enough pretentious assholes in my life already. If it's a nice day, I can just ride around in a golf cart and drink beer. No swinging of clubs and searching for lost balls involved.

The list goes on, including the Disney affectionados of the world. It's not for me, but if you enjoy it, more power to you. I've seen many people return from hunting, fishing, golfing, and even some from Disney. Usually, they seem happy.

Exactly. I know plenty of people who love those activities. One of my closest friend goes fishing any spare moment he gets.

I think all of these activities are no fun and probably a pain in the arse. I don't understand the brain that finds them enjoyable.

I'm sure my friends think it sounds stupid to ride a road bike long distances. Or watch college football for 12 horus on a Saturday. And that's great for them.

It's the same thing for someone that goes to Disney. They like it. Who are they bothering?

Edit to add -- This entire mentality of not understanding something and spewing vitriol toward those who don't do the standard "Louisana/outdoor" activities like hunting, fishing, golfing, etc. is exactly what drives people away. People who have options don't stick around people who have a piss poor attitue toward their interest. So don't complain about nobody wanting to hang out because you're a miserable a-hole who scoffs when someone brings up a hobby you find "Weird"
