    Just wondering if if their is a pattern to people who like pins and to hopefully justify my own obsessive collecting habits.

    I collect Pinball, arcade cabinets/pcbs, home theater/stereo and work in IT so some of it overlaps.

    I love designing logos, websites, collateral.

    #3 10 years ago

    Playing music, craft beer, cigars, shooting, and video games. I like to mess with those when not playing pinball...actually beer and pinball go together

    Is beer a hobby, or a way of life?

    #27 10 years ago
    Quoted from pinbum:

    I like to drop acid and then go outside and watch ants mate.

    ants don't "mate". they have a queen located deep underground who lays all their eggs.

    Motorcycles. Like all brands but Beemers & Harleys have a soft spot for me. The Sturgis Rally. Last year was my 16th trip to Sturgis. I've owned several bikes in my life. Currently own bike #37 Harley Ultra and #38 BMW R100RT

    Cars. Specifically old muscle (Dream car is a 69 Superbee or a 70/71 Cuda), and current muscle (LOVE my 04 GT). Also big on cooking, Tiki Drinks and Culture, movies, and video games.

    I forgot: Disneyland. LOVE that place. If they ever get rid of The Haunted Mansion and/or Pirates, I would never go back.

    #38 10 years ago

    My family is all in a local Karate program - going on 4 years. This year we should be testing for our blackbelts. Takes a lot of time, focus, and devotion.

    Video games, music sequencing. Drawing, extremely rarely. Too lazy to make music the "right" way. Would love to get into archery, but haven't found the money to set aside for it yet. Have fired a compound bow a few times and was a lot of fun.

    #42 10 years ago

    Up here in the great white north : restoring 60's Camaros & Firebirds, slot machines ( antique mechanical & IGTs ), home renovation, 3D CAD design, and looking for things . . .

    Happy New Year

    I have collected Miracle on Ice 1980 Olympic Hockey sports memorabilia....

    I have a ton of various stuff signed by the full team and coach Herb Brooks - skates, pucks, pictures, magazines, helmet, jerseys, even a baseball. I have a full set of unused tickets from every game the USA team played in 1980. The pinnicle for me was when I obtained an unassinged ice hockey Gold Medal that came out of the Lake Placid olympic archives. I kept it for a year or so and then decided something that was that much money sitting in a curio cabinet wasn't reasonable. I sold it off and guess what hobby that sale started me on... PINBALL ! Bought a Twilight Zone, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Indiana Jones to start the addiction... Along the way I also almost bought the game winning puck, but I stayed on the sidelines for that one - the yahoo who caught it at the game when it went in to the stands on the ensuing faceoff drilled a screw in it and mounted it like a deer rack on a plaque - i was afraid of the devaluing of it by what he did to it... my mistake as it was later resold for quadruple what I could have bought it for ! Last year I bought MOI captain Mike Eruzione's equipment bag from the olympics and also his olympic parka, pants, and hat. My son wore his jacket out for pizza one night... lol... It's fun but nothing like pinball...
