So I've been thinking lately...

Did it hurt?

Shut up pebblehead. Anyway I was thinking of picking up another hobby, I mean running is fun and relaxing, and the Kung fu stuff Ran is teaching me is cool and all And spray painting while fun is kind of expensive without a job

But I was wondering what sort of hobbies the rest of you out there do for fun? Like I dunno, sports, crafts, but no stamp collecting. That's gotta be like the lamest of the lame.

I could teach you Tin Pin if you want.

What's Tin Pin? A game?

[reaperreview.livejournal.com]

That's right. I guess the most basic explanation is that it's like marbles, but with pins.

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

So you like...try to knock the pins out of a circle with a ball? Like bowling?

[reaperreview.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry, wrong pins; I mean the badge kind, so not very much like bowling after all. And you knock them out of a circle (or any other shape; I've seen some unusual tables) with your own badges.

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

Badges...OK that's different.

Where would I go to get the things to play this sort of game?

[reaperreview.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you can play with ordinary badges, as long as you've got the aptitude for it.

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

What do the badges look like? Like cop badges? Or like those little pins you see people put on their bags and jackets?

[reaperreview.livejournal.com]

Just the little ones. I don't think cop badges would spin. Don't go for engraved ones or ones with raised parts, you want them smooth.

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

OK I think I can see how that would work.

Any other special rules?

Er... It's an entirely hands-free game; I hope you're at least slightly psychic. Loads of people seemed to be able to play it back home but I'm not sure if that would work here. (Of course, if you do manage to move your pins without touching them, I could explain some of the game's finer mechanics.)

Although... I guess basically playing marbles with pins could work.

W-wait I gotta move them without touching them? That might take some doing...maybe modified house rules for people like me?
