Do You Have Any Hobbies That Others Don't Understand?

I collect political propaganda flyers. I have somewhat an obsession with gasmasks, i have a few and collect any pictures of them i can get my hands on. My favorites are those with a family orientated theme.

That's absolutely hilarious!  Families who avoid nuclear catastrophe together STAY together!

I have several hobbies that people don't fully understand.

Anime/Manga - I'm not super crazy but I do enjoy Anime and Manga, but my collection is fairly small due to limited funds.  My family doesn't fully understand and most of my friends understand since I either got them involved in it, or watch anime as well.

Martial arts weapons - Being a martial artist, I've had weapons training as a result of the school that I study at.  As a result I've collected a small collection of various weapons. Which roughly rounds out as 12 to 14 different types of nunchakus, 3 pairs of escrima sticks, 3 long staffs, 2 pairs of tonfas, a pair of sai, 2 pairs of kama's, a pair of twin hook swords, 4 wooden practice swords, 5 samurai swords, 4 butterfly knives, and a hunting knife.

TV show DVD's (Recent and old) - I love certain TV shows most old shows not too many current shows.  Here's my collection for TV show DVD's.

All seasons of Mcgyver
All current season releases (Season 1 thru 10) of the Simpsons.
Season 1 of Starksy and Hutch
Season 1 of Kung Fu
All current Family guy volumes (First movie, but not the second one yet)
All current King of the Hill volumes
All Seinfeld releases.

I also enjoy watching old TV game shows (Match Game, Card Sharks, Love connection (I know it's not really a game show), Press your Luck, Blockbusters, Password plus, Super Password, etc)  Of course out of watching these shows I have been told by my dad on numerous occasions that I was born 30 years too late.


I also have a nack for watching on Kickboxing matches (70's thru 90's, even recent stuff), as to me it's exiciting to watch.

I'll concede that I have a niece and nephew that are huge into Anime/Mange, they are SUPER CRAZY, they might be beyond that and they are both in their mid 20's they come down to my house and they bring loads of DVD, comics and other stuff. They have rooms full of the stuff at their house and I just don't get it. I'm like ok, I understand having a interest, but I really believe these two and their interest is beyond healthy, I truly believe it has caused them to become socially retarded. (I'm speaking of these 2 I know only and no one else.)

I'm 22 and I still watch it, but it's not a major part of my lifestyle.  I have a small collection, which would probably take up a small part of my wall but that's it.  I like anime, but I enjoy doing other things as well besides watching that.

That would send me into paroxysms of claustrophobia!  I can't even snorkel because I can't breathe through my mouth properly.
