"Antiquing" and going to flower festivals aren't real hobbies.

For Ed it's "antiquing" if he's dating a 20 year old.

I actually like going to those antique malls. I get a good walk in, I can check out any 70's furniture and occasionally find a wargame or two hidden away.

I'd probably hit it.  :blush:

Sadly, so would I.  :Embarrass:
Then I would have a crying wank of shame at home afterwards.
I don't find someone that looks like that attractive at all.  I like females to look human... call me crazy, I know. :)

I need to stay far away from that place.  Just on their front page I saw pics of about 10 things I'd buy.

I've been to a few. One in Maine had tons of nazi memorabilia and there were many disclaimers about the sellers not supporting the ideology.

I went to one near Niagara that had a booth that sold nothing but racist characature items of Blacks - mugs with huge-lipped sambos, ceramic figurines of 'cute' piccaninnies, Christmas decorations pressed out of tin with Black Mammy on it, old greeting cards with 'hilarious' Black jokes, that sort of thing.

The guy running the booth was himself Black - and apparently, so were most of his clients. Go figure.

Seedy's probably going to ask for his contact info.  Also, I guess my Christmas-themed mammy idea has already been done :(
