I've been collecting and shooting medium and large bore handguns for about ten
years and have a collection containing 24 pistols and 19 revolvers.
Fortunately, in my county, it's easier to buy a handgun than it is a pack of
cigarettes or a bottle of wine!
Dave in PA
I am also a collector of anything that I *might* need "some day". My girlfriend
calls it a pack rat, but she doesn't understand ;-)

Oh, I breakdance, I compose lots of different music, I play pinball, and I drool
(over the pinballs I have no money for, and the music equipment I have no money
for).

Me - I am into stand up comedy - the decent US stuff such as Bill
Hicks, Denis Leary (not as good as Hicks IMHO), and also am into movies
in a big way.
Enjoy snooker, pool and music (inc. Chris Rea) but I would have to say
playing pins is my main hobby.

Me too, and one has only to look at my tag to see what else I am
interested in... Oenophile is a lover of wine for those that do
not have a dictionary handy. I have a cellar with 1800+ bottles,
mostly California Cabs and Zinfindels (No, not White-Zin).
I love stunt kites, and have a dozen or so now. Including a
Revolution (four-line stunt kite).

Other hobbies that I have (ranked according to how much time I spend
on each):
Creating and solving (mainly solving) math (especially algebra)
puzzles,
Bowling,
Listening to any type of fast paced music, sound, or TV theme,
Reading various magazines (Scientific American, Games Mag,
Kliplinger's Finance, and solving some of the puzzles in Dell's Math
and Logic Problems magazine),
Chess (don't play that much now as I used to while I was in high
school),
Playing with my GameBoy
Card games, and
Crocheting (haven't done this in a few years though).
My main hobbies, though, are playing pinball, running a pinball league
(I'm running two leagues a year) , and bowling.

Active hobbies besides pinball include: computer programming (in addition to
what I do at my full time job - ack!), analyzing the stock market, skiing (only
~2 weeks a year usually, wish it was more), playing in the ocean, travelling in
general, and the most recent addition, "educated" gambling (analyzing and
playing positive-expectation blackjack and video poker, mostly).
On the inactive list: classic vids (Joust/Defender/Tempest, that era), model
railroads (haven't done in many years, want to get back someday).

Slot cars (HO), music, computers, COLLECTING THINGS: Video game systems,
Nintendo collectables, Nascar collectables, Xena WP collectables,

Hmm. Only have four strings on mine. Rickenbacker 4001 and an Ibanez
copy of that one.
Used to play in a Thrash Metal band, but that split up and now I look
for something
more spaced out (like Hawkwind, BOC, Floyd, Rush, etc.)...
Also, British Sports Cars (which go NEATLY around corners, I noted you
guys are
mostly into big cast iron block US muscle cars with leaf springs ;).
My daily ride is virtually parked at http://www.flash.net/~coaster1/lotus.htm
(the Pretty Woman variety) If you have nice cars, you might want to park them
there, too! Oh, I also have an old Lotus Esprit S2 (the James Bond
variety) that
has been under constant restoration for 10 years now.
And of course, working to save for a bigger place that will take more pinballs.

I'm also beginning to show interest in travel (my trip to Australia was even
beyond my overhyped expectations), and driving--fast. Hey, when you've got an
'88 Ford Crown Vic on I-696, you're gonna be gunning it too. One of these
days, I'm going to get myself a BIG time speeding ticket. But not today! I
may be fast, but I'm VERY safe, and not in the least bit careless, reckless, or
rude.
There are other things like my workouts with my best friend, but that's all
just part of life.

I currently own:

I don't think I replied to this yet, and not that many people care
'bout what I do outside of goofing off, I'm sure this will tickle your fancy.

I collect animation cels, more prominently, Anime cels. Along the same
lines, yes, I'm into Anime.
Another hobby of mine is Radio, right now I work for a Network,
starting early next year I'll be on air on KEPC out here in the Springs, and
be an intern at KKFM (also here in the Springs.) For those of you that think
this is mor of a carreer than a job, lemme tell you, it is NOT. Radio DOES
NOT PAY to be a job.
Uhm.. Other hobbies? I do some writing for a friend who's an artist,
mostly in Anthropormorphics. (Don't know? Don't ask. You aren't missing
anything.)
If you weren't worried about me before, you probably are now. :>
Me.
As you all know, I'm a record collector. I'm glad to see so many RGPers
involved with music. Maybe some of you will see your pinball song issued
on Extra Ball Records (from Multiball magazine).
Another hobby that I indulge in passively is one I have yet to see mentioned
in this thread, despite its close affiliation to coin-op games: coin and
token collecting!
.................David Marston [new address pending]@dartmouth.EDU
The only record I got is a mint 45, Pinball Wizard I will be framing it with my

>Another hobby that I indulge in passively is one I have yet to see mentioned

>token collecting!
I've got a fair collection of tokens, most of them from arcades I've
never been to. I find them in the bottom of cabinets, and stuck in
coin mechs, and I throw them in a jar.
I've never been much of a hobbyist; I'm not even terribly serious
about "collecting" pinball machines. I am fascinated by motion
pictures, probably more than the average person is, but less than some
are. I love music, but doesn't everyone? I bought a LOT of records
when I was in middle school and high school, but now I generally don't
buy more than three or four per year.
I'd love to be able to sit down and read for a few hours a night, but
the circumstances of my life in the coin-op biz make this impossible
right now. Oh well...
