A man is drinking from a ridiculously large glass. The man is me, the glass is “some wacky new hobby”.

Bonus points if you recognize the title reference.

    It’s not all that wacky, but I bought a guitar (my first one! I’m usually a bassist) last week. It’s a seven-string, and now I’m learning to play Breaking the Law by Judas Priest. It feels a bit like this instrument is wasted on me because it’s a very nice one, but it’s kinda fun! And every time I play the guitar, put it down after a while, and go back to my bass, playing the bass feels new and exciting again <3

      If you’re having fun, it’s in the budget, and it enriches your life, then carry on!

      It’s not a waste to play an instrument badly. Most instruments are forgotten and ruined by time and decay. Loving an instrument and playing badly it is so much better than it rusting in an attic!

        That’s true, it’s definitely better to play it badly than not at all. And I’m really glad I finally got a guitar instead of spending months looking at them online but never buying one.

    For me it’s planting a food forest… Which needs mulch to prepare the soil so it’ll be ready for planting in the spring. Oh shoot the mulch guy is coming today

    You know what, I didn’t need you to call me out like this. Plus, I have a real need to know how to make soap and pick locks.

      Fantastic hobbies!

      I just got through this whole obsession trying to figure out what scent this one soap was. It finally turned out to be vetiver AND bergamot! Sigh. Now I made my own evil laugh
