YOU HAVE NEVER WATCHED A HOCKEY GAME.
That looks more like a rave to me. That girl looks like she's high on ecstasy. No hockey game has ever been that enthralling.

WHOOSH!!!
Owning a vacation home/property. When I want to vacation or travel I want to see and experience something new. I want to visit some place I have not had the opportunity to visit before. I spend enough time taking care of and maintaining my primary home. Why in the hell would I want a second home to take care of. Most importantly why would I want to go to the same place over and over again every time I have long weekends or a weeks vacation to spend. They have these places that are maintained year round by other people but they are available for you to visit and stay, they are called hotels, motels, cabins, resorts, B&B's, or lodges. You can pay them a fraction of what a property would cost you every year to own and maintain and they let you stay there, heck some of them will even give you food while you are there.
For lack of a better description, I'll call it the "King of the Hill" syndrome. A lot of neighbors on our street hang out at the curb, drinking a beer and BSing. Maybe it's because I'm getting to old to stand around and drink when I have seating on my porch, patio and deck. More likely it's because I don't like most of my neighbors though
Vegas/gambling. Never cared for it, would rather watch my money burn. And Vegas, well if I don't gamble Vegas pretty well is pointless. Which I realized after I got there.
Here's what I don't get, and you 'mericans all seem to enjoy doing it:
Chanting "USA! USA!" when your team made up primarily of Canadians is playing another team, also made up primarily of Canadians.
It's not our fault that the acronym for our country is so wonderfully chantable. Just another way in which we are blessed, and probably superior to everyone else!

You're missing the point.
It makes zero sense. During the Olympics, go for it.
I guess this is why it happens though. People like you
The consensus seems to be 'everything sux except beer and pets'.
I still can't wrap my head fully around the idea of team fandom. Not enjoying I'm not saying I disapprove of it, mind you, but I dont "get it".
Lets say you are a Mets fan. You like to wear the hat and the t-shirt, you like to go to the games, you like to cheer them on, etc. Nothing wrong with that, but why do you do it? Is it because you grew up in Queens, where the team originally "comes from"? When I found out some years ago that you dont have to live or to have ever lived in Queens or even New York State to be a player for the Mets my mind was blown. What's the point? What makes the Mets a New York team? Where the stadium is? Arent some New York teams playing in their "home" arena in frigging NEW JERSEY? So if the players arent from New York and the stadium isnt in New York it cant be New York pride that makes you a Mets fan.
Ok so its something else. Maybe its the players themselves. But they can only play, what, 20 years tops before they have to retire? So technically, as a fan of a team full of players you like, you are almost guarenteed to see a day that the team with the same name that you have been a fan of will have no players on it that had originally earned your fandom. Do you blindly remain a fan of the team even though all the new players might not be to your liking, or do you choose another team to be a fan of until your original team gets its act together? Maybe its the coach, he tends to stick around a long time. But wouldnt that just make you a fan of the coach, not the team? Maybe its the mascot. I don't know. None of this makes a lot of sense to me.
I understand enjoying a sporting event itself (even if the idea of going to a baseball game makes me cringe) and I understand you have to be invested in SOMETHING to enjoy the game/event in front of you, but how do you make that determination?
Making the bed....COME ON....the single most POINTLESS activity anyone can every do. I even get mad when I see other people's bed made.
Although, I am just realizing this thread is about activities 'everyone seems to enjoy' but me, and I am assuming most people don't enjoy this, so its not very applicable to this thread, but I am leaving it...
I just read the whole thread in David Sedaris' voice, it was just like listening to This American Life.
That reminds me; I hate commercial radio. Crap music and commercials. I'll take my occasional pledge drive over that.

Another brother in the revolution! Resist! Resist! :rockin:
I've taken a liking to "listener supported radio" lately.

Those of use who could care less about sports are like those who do not understand or like homebrew. When I start talking to SWMBO about something about brewing, I get that glazed look I give when someone tells me the batting average of a baseball player.
On the strip clubs I haven't been to one in 10+ years. When I say I don't go and don't have any desire to people say. I need to loosen the chain from the wife some. And I say no they're a waste of time and money. And they think I'm lying
98% of the people in this world that I encounter, and that's probably being generous. And I'm a nice guy, I swear!

You really believe it's that low. With what 3.3 billion people you will what to be with a full 2%, you sir are a better man than I.
