I wish I had an unusual or unique hobby. All I do is quilt. Looking forward to seeing what others have to say.

Nothing better than a nice quilt! I have so many from my deceased grandmother...they are treasured.
Sooner or later someone will post on here that they collect's politicians' toenail clippings...or something.

Salaam,
I like to collect ornaments. Here is what I have:
1. A skull.
2. Dark dragon clock.
3. Grim reaper figure.
4. Dagger.
5. Gun ornament (no bullets).
6. Seashells.
7. Small castle ornament.
These ornaments are old. I like the dagger and the gun the most.
EDIT:
8. I have a small sunken ship.

order the largest pizza
wait 30 minutes
open the door
throw the money at delivery guy
close the door
slowly slide down the door with your back to it
sit there
devour all slices
clean your mouth
act like nothing has ever happened
throw the pizza box from a distance into the rubbish area
finally, sit down somewhere and do not pay any attention to 'can we have some?' 'why didnt you tell us?' 'did you finish it all?' 'man, you are greedy!' 'how did you do it?'
That's my hobby

Okay...this had got to be the forerunner for the "Unique and unusual" we're looking for here. Funny as heck and quite cute, though!

That's so funny because my roommate used to do this in college (on the rare occasion we could afford a pizza). He didn't eat all the pizza, but did it just to leave an impression on the poor delivery guy.
He was a strange and unique individual...

It's also known as free-running. It's really cool.
Here's a YouTube video. Might want to mute it as it has chavvy dance/trance/Streets of Rage music distracting you from the awesome stunts.

I think all my hobbies are quite normal, so I thought I'd post other people's unusual hobbies. This one looks
dead boring to me. But each to their own I guess.
If you are a taphophile, you have a keen interest in or passion for cemeteries. Thus, your hobby would include researching,
writing and reading epitaphs; making gravestone rubbings (like Indiana Jones does with that dead knight’s shield in Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade); cemetery photography and other art; and, of course, reading up on cemetery history. What fun!

My hobby when I was in grade 5 and 6 in elementary school was "changing texts". I changed some words in article to make it turn into funny article. I did it to my school text books and also my friends texts books. But my friends and my teacher did not angry, even they laugh. My wife and my kids laughed too when they found one of my text book in elementary school.
But actually I got this idea from Dutch comic, Sjors&Sjimie, in episode when Sjors and Sjimie changed the colonel's letter.

I could not watch "yamakasi" in theater, so I wait this French movie in my TV. Unfortunatelly, TV ran this movie in the midnight. So, when I just watched around fifteen minutes, my wife was angry "when will you go to the bed!" :D
Maybe "Yamakasi" is the first movie about parkour. And if I am not wrong, parkour is the "French art of escape" that popularized by immigrant in France. They jump from a building to other building, climb and down the wall.

Kinda... if you watch the Jump London videos on youtube (part one linked in my previous post) you can find out the real reason.
As for Damien Walters style of parkour... that guy is a legend. I'm just a leg end by comparison... but insha-Allah i'll get there... one day:hmm:

My unusual hobby is collect information to my memory. I read and read and read and also discuss with several different people and try to learn from them. Just today I surprised one my Christian coworker at my office about how much more I knew about they holiday (Easter) than average Christian (even I am muslim) by international and also by local news.
She didn´t even remember name Via Dolorosa.
:embarrass
Also I collect hijabs and cook books.
Cook books mean yummy meals.

Hi Scimitar;
I have never heard of free running and parkour circuits, but it sure is an amazing way to break a leg or something.
When I was a young lad in my thirties, I rode a fixed wheel bike for a number of years. Its a bike with just one gear, and no freewheel so you have to peddle like mad going down hill; to hit 40mph on the bike meant I had to turn the peddles round at just over 200rpm.
I did a 1200k ride in France which meant I turned the peddles round about 230,000 times in 84 hours. We rode about 150 miles to the start, and another 150 home, meaning I turned the peddles round about 350, 000 times in a week.
When I was a slightly older lad in my forties I rode a penny farthing as you do, it is not difficult or hard falling off, it just hurts when you hit the road. Going over the handlebars is an experience not to be missed, it builds your character.
Is this count as unusual?
Eric

RIP David The Tomato!
Okay: I have several pastimes, but the one foreign to most people is...the cultivating and cloning of gourmet mushroom species.
I have a small lab in my house that I built to do all the spores work and sterile procedures. Unfortunately, my wife constantly tries to turn it into a storage room, dragging old things in there and contaminating my cultures. I finally put a lock on the door.
I know, I am a true nerd.

we called them Endo's, because you end up head over heels... and yeah, built character :D, I mean - No one wanted to cry in front of their friends after doing an endo now did they? Endo's looked cool too - straight outta dukes of hazard or the fall guy :D Ah, the fun we had when we were kids. I thank Allah for such a good childhood.
