I ride motorbikes, I drive fast cars (for a P plater, anyway), shoot when I can, play death metal music on a 7 string guitar, I have a shaved head, make jokes that would make Richard Pryor sick, I drink and I smoke.

People think I'm Romper Stomper. My nickname is actually Romper Stomper amongst some of my friends...

But you know what? **** 'em! Do what you want!

I forgot to mention that I play the Ukelele...

I think that could possibly be the most unacceptable pastime I have


And I love train sets! Very cool. But too many animals & not enough space...

I'm into electronic dance music (trance / progressive / some hardtrance)...




I don't mind jazz either, but I am not sure which is more antisocial!

Must be goodtimes for you, going out at nights like that. Campbellfield has restaurants and pubs I suppose? I'm too tight for much of a social life. Once in a while I take my girlfriend out -- if its a special occasion like her birthday or New Years. The other week we went out downtown, walking the main street shops looking at all the pretty lights and people out... and we walk past a Chinese restaurant. Mmmmm, you know, I can hear the sizzling mongolian and smell it too. "Oooh thats nice" she says. I thought, what the hell, you know, you know? When the girls says that, and they look into your eyes.. you know.. well... I stopped and looked right back at her. "Maybe its time we had a treat", so we turned around and walked past it again.

I had a party a few months ago plenty of people bands etc droped a few notes in the mail boxes arround us told them they were welcome if they wanted.

Didnt have a problem none of them came but 2 people sent back cards thanking us for letting them know so they could look after their animals and one of them left a carton of beer with their thank you note,

cant ask for better neuighbors than that

This is probably most inappropriate - but when I see the above happening with females, well I get - never mind! My thoughts will get my subscription to the AFF fully canned and banned. I get nice thoughts though

Now this is the first "past time" I have considered "unpopular". Yet after reading your comment I cant really come up with any justification why NOT to do it. If the % of users death rate is lower then those who smoke, drink, do drugs etc then WHY is it so unacceptable? Hrm, maybe I am just another slave to society..

P.S. Dont wanna start a debate on it, just opened my eyes to something considered popular!

You for first presidant mate. Its a joke why there ilegal there not even that bad just dont abuse it like anything else and youl be right. There our a few side effects depending on what you take but its worth it and if people want to cause harm to there own
Body whos to stop them? I can smoke and drink which causes more damage to the body. Nothing like the feeling of being pumped full of testosterone.

I left out model railroads...although they don't have the stigama they used to as being a "kids" thing.

You could also add personal things that are "socially unpopular"to some people...I'm an athiest, I eat red meat, I couldn't care less where my eggs come from, I support the troops overseas, I love the military exercises they have based in Rocky (I think it's great that we live in a country where you see armor and troops rolling into town and we can wave and smile at all the troops instead of automatically cowering in our houses in fear wondering who is going to be taken away as an example).

I love living in a small town where nearly everyone works at the same place as me, meaning you can just leave your car sitting there with the keys in it accidentally and you don't notice for a few days as it will be perfectly safe.

We don't have a church or a police station, and any visiting holy rollers like JW's get a short sharp answer if they knock on the door of a sleeping shift worker on a sunday morning...bunch of godless heathens we are...
