Guilty pleasures?

[Bill R]

What are yours?

What to you do for pure selfish enjoyment? Manicures? Ice cream sundays? Chocolate truffles? Glass of good wine?

Time to 'fess up.

I'll start- B&W era, especially 1950's sci-fi movies. Throw in some cherry covered cheesecake, and I'm in heaven.

Too easy.. the forum.. It cheaper than most... Above is a worthy site for specific boat related questions. and below, I may need a bilge pump but it can be entertaining.

...it can be entertaining.

Like watching a train wreck.

As long as I'm not on the train...Paul... I got off at the last station.

okay then, owning a wooden boat...and thinking I'm spending my own money while I am alive and not willing it to the next generation... There.. now that shows guilt and pleasure.

Movies from the "Golden Age" 1930's to 1950's with a bowl of Vanilla ice cream topped

with real Maple Syrup.

Life is good.

P.S. Yes there have been some good movies made since then but that was when movies were movies. Have you seen how many movies today are simply re-makes of movies that were originally made then? I was in one, the latest version of the 1930ish "Last of the Mohican's".

The original was actually better.

At work, coming up with new ideas and trying to make the MAll more interesting to the tourists so when they visit year after year they will see something different in our MAll that they didnt see last year.I'm attempting over the years to turn our Mall into sort of a combination Mall and museum to invite more tourist interest and to keep it so.
Ladies ( intellectually speaking of course)

I'll start- B&W era, especially 1950's sci-fi movies.

It's been awhile since I've had cable, which is the only place to find these anymore this side of a vid collection, but I used to love the cheesy BW sc-fi.

I can't come up with the titles, but remember Zontar? Or how about all the radiation paranoia, the giant shrews, or the mutant who was stalking people, and the giant ants?

When I was a kid, maybe thirteen, I was allowed to stay up and watch Goulardi, on a Friday night. He was nuts, probably too much LSD, wore a big fright wig and said all kinds of strange and interesting stuff on station breaks.

The really good films of that era, same genre were, "Forbidden Planet" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Cheers.

drawing stuff.....and old Run Run Shaw mooovies......like "Zatoichi, the blind Swordsman"......didja know that the old chinese warriors could actually jump backwards and upwards 40 feet into a tree while swordfighting.......

[Stiletto]

What sort of bike MMD? I'm sure you've mentioned it before but I have forgotten.

[Vince Brennan]

"Last of the Mohican's"....The original was actually better.

But the cinematography and locations on the Mann verzion were to die for.

Guilty pleasures?

Doing a piece of knotwork.... for myself.

Ice cream.... damn the consequences.

A nice raw steak... ditto the above.

Smoking. It ain't good for me (it ain't good for nobody), but O, I do love it so.

Just a bad person, all around.
