\u201cmy hobby can beat up your hobby\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generic questions are offered when meeting most people<\/span><\/p>\n

Generic answers are given back by most too<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you do for a living?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you married?<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have kids? <\/span><\/p>\n

Or if not – when are you going to?<\/span><\/p>\n

But – where it can get interesting is\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

What hobbies are you interested in?<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re your hobbies ever different?<\/span><\/p>\n

People are fascinating<\/span><\/p>\n

People can tell you so much with this answer<\/span><\/p>\n

Many have –<\/span><\/p>\n

quiet hobbies<\/span><\/p>\n

ordinary hobbies<\/span><\/p>\n

reserved hobbies<\/span><\/p>\n

calm hobbies<\/span><\/p>\n

Mine?<\/span><\/p>\n

It was different – when I was younger<\/span><\/p>\n

!FIGHT ME!<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned to fight<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned to throw axes<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned to dish plate<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned to sew under armour <\/span><\/p>\n

All of this so I could chuck axes <\/span><\/p>\n

All of this to rage *safely* <\/span><\/p>\n

All of this because a safe outlet is important <\/span><\/p>\n

All because everyone at events knows the rules<\/span><\/p>\n

All because marshals enforce them <\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t forget \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

My former hobby could definitely beat up your hobby!<\/span><\/p>\n
