There are people who don’t pee in the sink?
Wimmin’
Also, thank you! Urinators unite.
Robin Williams plays Warhammer 40k. Orks, mostly.
As does Pete Waterman. He’s also into big steam trains.
Read My Land and My People for an explanation. IIRC, from a pretty early age in the Potala, the DL was into taking things apart and putting them back together again (often with left over pieces). Remember at the time he was a boy, Tibet was unmodernized and had few mechanical devices. The DL had a lot of presents from foreign governments, including clocks and watches.
There’s a bunch of kids stuff with Lennon artwork on them. Sure you can search, but I know China bambina has a baby memory book with Lennon sketches and also IIRC some onesies.
Omar Sharif is a bridge enthusiast (card game); he even writes (or used to write) a syndicated column on bridge.
>cough<
Actually…
(The toilet has to be really, really bad though…)
The late Deng Xiaoping was a bridge enthusiast and played weekly. Warren Buffet and Bill Gates both are quite avid bridge players (and they are both worth multi billions so maybe there is a correlation?)
George Harrison collected Nazi memorabilia (he was anti-Nazi, ftr).
John Travolta is an avid pilot and lunatic. Cite: Here’s his house
Stephan Colbert teaches Sunday school.
As have Alice Cooper and John Grisham.
Alice Cooper also spends much of his free time looking exactly like me.
Not a hobby, exactly, but the famous footage of Evel Knievel’s accident jumping over the fountains at Caesar’s Palace was shot by Linda Evans.
Curt with a C, and of course so is ballplayer Doug Glanville, who claimed that his two-homer performance against Schilling one night was revenge for Schilling allowing Glanville’s paladin to be killed in “EverQuest.”
Jimmy Carter also teaches Sunday school.
Mike Tyson raises pigeons.
Many years ago, I saw a quick-draw artist on TV. The guy was so fast he could get his gun out of the holster, shoot something, and put it back in the holster so fast that film couldn’t capture it. They would show the frame-by-frame replay–in one frame, the gun is in the holster; in the next, there’s smoke and the target has a hole in it, but the gun is back in the holster. Anyway, this guy claimed that Jerry Lewis is–or at least was–a quick-draw hobbiest as well. He said Lewis was the fastest man in the world, next to this guy. I can’t find verifcation of it, though. Anyone know if it’s true?
No clue about that - but there was a famous clip on a variety or talk show back in the 60’s or 70’s - maybe it was the Tonight Show? - where Sammy Davis, Jr. showed off his pistol-flippin’ skills. I think he played a gunslinger in a western movie and applied the same discipline to fancy holster-work that he did to his singing and dancing. He was incredible.
Ah - Youtube is your friend: Here is a link to a brief Jerry Lewis comedy bit where he shows off his gun flippin’ chops. I did a similar search for Sammy Davis, but only found an old clip that wasn’t the one I was thinking of and doesn’t show off his skills as well…
I can’t watch it at work, but I’ll check it out tonight. In my googling, I did see Sammy Davis’ name a few times. The quick-draw guy also claimed that Clint Eastwood was a quick-draw hobbiest of some acclaim. Again, I saw this guy maybe 15 or 20 years ago, and my memory might be playing tricks on me.
Speaking of Jerry Lewis, the guy’s a serious gadget freak and an inventor. He invented a movie camera with a TV camera in it, so that he could watch a scene after it was immediately shot and didn’t have to wait for the dailies to be developed to see if he liked how the scene came out.
Lorne Greene also invented a backwards running watch so that when he was doing radio programs he could see when he was getting close to the breaks.
He loves them so much he bought the company.
