Spill The Beans lol Secret Hobbies!

Secret hobbies? Nah.
Unless my daydreams count

 

[tourist]

I don't have any hobbies.

 

[crosstweed]

i don't do this often, and i hope it's doesn't make people worry about me, but

i like to read about serial killers.

yup.

This is awesome, Mel!!!

I used to think I was the only one. I also used to love sites like "True Crime Library" and so forth. I'd come home from work and relax... by reading about infamous criminals...

But this is partially because back when I was in school, I wanted to be a criminal psychologist, and I wanted to specialize in serial killers and the most off-the wall crimes (in the hopes of learning how to prevent others from going the same route.)

*sigh*
So I have this other secret hobby that I didn't mention...







(And I don't mean being a serial killer...)

​(Technically not a secret. Several people know about this.)

Bonus points if you figure out what song that music goes to. Triple bonus points if you don't kill the author after figuring it out.

It's like they say, you gotta fight fire with cliches.

Bad idea #271: Dropping into a halfpipe on a segway.

Hey it says here if you dream your teeth are falling out it means the brain worms are spreading!

Feynman recounted another good one upperclassmen would use on freshmen physics students: When you look at words in a mirror, how come they're reversed left to right but not top to bottom? What's special about the horizontal axis? (Hint: The eyes have it.)

Plus, when someone finally grabs your glasses and stomps on them in frustration, it costs way less than a real Google Glass to replace them.

Okay I'm finished. Mostly because I got tired of typing out

hmm...
well, I often go out on ███████ where travel to remote high ███████ , often times in ████████ zones. My goal is usually ████████ extraction, or the recovering of sensitive information or equipment, such as the next ██████████ of ███████ technology that the ███████ Government managed to extracted from the ███ servers. After parachuting onto the roof of the ████████ of ███████ building, I had to break through the locks on the elevator service door, the ████ ███████ I brought. After getting inside I made my way down to server room. I wiped the data from the servers, mission complete, and made my way out. I had to sneak across the boarder into █████ for recovery.

Definitely one of my favorite hobbies.

Until I saw the post edit note I was thinking your hobby was redacting.

Yay!
Angela is here!

Lol
Love you Ang! lol

 

[Angela53510]

Hmm! My hobbies are boring (compared to some of the posts in this thread!) and not secret!

Gardening - veggies, herbs, and flowers
Music - flute, sax, vocals
Greek - just love learning 1000 words in a couple of months of a dead language!
Grandchildren - self explanatory
Exercise - on a good day, riding my bike, stretches and/or weights On a bad day - nothing
Cooking - hubby has to have supper, so what can I say? I do like baking
Dieting - a decades long approach to losing weight which does conflict with baking hobby.

I guess hiding in the Singles Forum might be considered a "secret" hobby. But I promise not to wear out my welcome!

 

[skylove7]

HaHa
Those that don't know you Ang are missing out!
Thank you for the bible answers to my questions lol

I don't google I Angela!
Lol
But you won't spoil me I promise!
God says
Angela didn't get this way overnight!
I'm reading more lol

Won't be a secret after this post, and not really a hobby, more of a interest; I like watching old Marlon Brando films.

I'd say it looks like Abba, "Knowing Me Knowing You" in the wrong key, slightly embellished for elevators, with Ross Valory improvising the bass line. In a world where many purveyors of three chord rock and roll decimated music, though, a snippet is too fragmentary, if somebody isn't familiar with the work. So maybe just spill it, unless it's something more frightening than Abba, in which case, weigh keeping it to yourself? For the safety of the author? And the planet?

I have many fun interests & hobbies, and I guess a secret hobby is I like to practice being influential and motivating, share the joy so to speak. Such as this... I have a variety of fruit trees, I planted, they are finally producing good yields. Last year, I made fruit leather from my plums. This year, I plan to try it with my black cherries(Bing). I plan to share my fruit & berries with my neighbors this year and influence them to make something. Nothing like homemade, jam, pie, syrup etc. I have multiple kinds of apples, cherries, pears, plums and berries.

I started by looking at various information and blogs. Then, I baked the plums, pureed them and overnight cooked them in the oven on low. I finished them off with my food dehydrator. So delicious, all natural and almost no sugar, almost










Here is a great blog:

I was kind of hoping someone would discover what it is, maybe by playing it on a keyboard to figure it out. It's Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up." This comic marks a first, rick-rolling via sheet music.

Well! Now it makes sense. (Not up on Rick Astley, never caring for radio pop.) I did play the chords on a keyboard, and it sounded like the line where the lyrics begin in the Abba song, hopped-up. The I looked up the Abba online, but it was in was in D, not Db, which begs the question who'd bother to transpose it a half step down? And the chords weren't a match, but they could be, exaggerated. I couldn't get past the key weirdness, Db obscure, but was thinking somebody maybe arranging it for elevator music? BUT, what really didn't make sense as Abba are the six octaves in the right fragment, which sound like some real old song, not sure, but a fragment of what was maybe "What a Difference a Day Makes," at least that lyric what some lady was singing in one of those, like, lounge songs an elder relative used to listen to. Then again, strange and horrible things happen in elevators and supermarkets, to the likes of Abba. (Can understand wanting to keep elevators moving, but have always wondered why they want to get you out of supermarkets as quickly as possible, or take away your appetite.) Couldn't glean anything from the bass. You really had me going! Rick Astley? Is he any good? In any event, we do now know he ripped off Abba and an old lounge singer. Is he like that Vanilla guy Queen sued?

Um... Rick-rolling is a meme. It was a fad for a while to trick people into clicking on links purporting to be any number of things, but that really redirected them to a recording of Rick Astley's song.

Why people did this, I have no idea. But it explains the song being in the comic.

Thank you for that explanation! I really didn't quite get the comic, couldn't see the connection to the music, was thinking maybe somebody in a marching band thrown by a different rhythm? Rick-rolling? Sometimes I think I've missed a lot in life, but maybe this is something to sing more praises to the Lord for?

I knew it. I can barely read notes, and I wasn't going to put it out there...
But I knew it. x)
