too manny... I enjoy such activities as - chimney vaccuming, not owning a cellphone, ceiling shampooing, breaking into the local artificial flavor-making factory and adding real flavors,
ghosthaunting (yes, I irritate ghosts quite easily it seems), closet spelunking, unstacking turtles, lighting things afire, watching old black and white movies with my colorblind friends, ignoring anything that doesn't involve me directly, addictively risking dysentery routinely, practicing ultra-short-term patience, fingerpainting paintings of fingers, cooking with mental telepathy, duct taping small children to telephone poles, writing incoherent letters to various Mall Santas, playing along with eating contests at home (Mmmm..tubs of Mayo!), using scissors to catch flying insects, building self-defense weapons from Legos, avoiding the worms responsible for wormholes, dusting for fingerprints, two words...EXTREME KNITTING, rebroadcasting and disseminating accounts of Major League Baseball games using only implied oral consent (and it's not just me ripping off and episode of The Simpsons, it's actually true in my case!), starting hate clubs for the terminally optimistic, impersonating Frank Caliendo but only when he impersonates Rich Little, honing my 'round-the-clock paranoia, playing practical jokes on invisible people, collecting neutrinos, pretending I can't hear at least 3 times hourly and freeking out like it's the first time it's ever happened - EACH time, waiting in long lines and then forcing strangers to cut in front of me, eating rabbit stew each and every Easter (I spend every Thanksgiving in Turkey), pondering self-mutilation while listening to endless earworms (thank you, Kelly Clarkson, lukewarm coal walking, extracting negative chi (I prefer exchanging it for Qi every other 1/3 moon) from ugly shirts, (Oh yeah...) I also enjoy tracking the path of the moon in thirds instead of 1/4s, sharknoodling, avoiding clowns that are easily frightened by rainbows or that wear too much alligator leather, randomly testing my my guardian angel's alertness, sleepeating, burying treasure chests made of household waste, experiencing pungent and horrific scents, kitefishing, memorizing license plates and social security numbers (for entertainment value only, I PROMISE!), fondue bathing, calling people in the phonebook that have famous names and asking them stupid questions about people who have nothing to do with the famous named person, hopelessly keeping to my ideals, underwater mountain climbing, preparing for butterfly migration season, introducing myself as a productive member of the Order of Lazy Asses, making homemade hot tubs from multiple cheeses, bending people over my knee and spanking them once for each year old they are or until they crap themselves which ever comes second, measuring the time it takes to completely drain a new car battery on each of my left and right as well as upper and lower eyelids, predicting the future for time travellers of the past, practicing mime in the dark, wild ant counting, memorizing every other prime number, teaching rocks how to fly through breakables, collecting earwax, beating trees at staring contests, mocking mockingbirds, constructing cereal-based gravity controlling devices, simulating polydactyly, taking an overabundance of photographs of paparazzi, extended sitting, listening to growing hair, hulahooping with geometric centroids, sdrawkcab gnitirw, hitting people in the face with cream pies, dreaming of kicking Chuck Norris' ass and then not apologizing when I wake up, meditating to the sound of a busy signal, practicing fire drills and emergency escapes everywhere I go, jello jai'lai and (mostly) non-violently protesting the people who exhume graves in order to rape the dead (ever notice, you NEVER hear a Hollywood star speak out against THAT, do ya?).
Also, violently reminding people with every handshake that a hand is merely a naked puppet.
Music
homegrown, homemade
If you don't make it yourself, how do you know what's in it?
I like to make my own music... and I don't try to make music like anyone else because I'm not "them".
Also, Joy G and th' Joystix, Jerm the deadly virus, Chemland, John Funk and the Frenulums, Froddagy, Hot Mayonnaise and the Fish Tacos, Br& NuB& Name, Manny Stiles and his gang of weird shit, Glorious LovePole, Stickyjunk, NoBling, Pottstown's Bleary-Eyed, The Insatiable Fog Duckers, The (Original) Next Unoriginals, The Twitching Spastics, and Payusnow.
My tastes are too sofustimicated to listen to any 'production' music. Disclaimer - Yes, for your sake, I am a self-righteous prick with an all-consuming ego.
Movies
Love the idea; try my damnest not to talk through them so everyone else can share my loath for the commonly accepted applications shoved down our throats like: "the new movie" is the greatest thing since the sliced wheel - quotes some moron who isn't you.
Television
...will be a blip in the annals of time. Times will be achanging soon enough... TV won't even outlast the gasoline engine!!! Mark my mildly imposing words!!!
Books
Wait 'til I get my money. Write?

Barnum, Willie 'Blisterthumb' Jones, Bill Russell for not following the traditional path in their works, writings and teachings, anyone who understands me, endless reruns of "The Simpsons", a slew of fine examples of 'what not to do' for relatives, impeccable length, breathtaking girth, a desire to scrape by with the absolute minimalest of efforts yet attend more of my friend's funerals than the numbers of friends I have who live long enough to attend mine, I gotta add Dorothy Parker a second time here, food -for showing me what "hunger" is and what lies that are disguised as "hunger" aren't...
The Present for always being there when you need it, ends of eras, new beginings, old things becoming new and some things never changing...
