Do you have other interests besides Wheel of Fortune/game shows? I also really like hockey (GO BRUINS!), weather, and weather radios.

Good question. As a matter of fact, I take interest in other things besides Wheel. I enjoy sports (Go Leafs!), as well as video games (mainly game show based as well as Mario based). I also do some reading on occasion.

Cool. I like sports too - you might already be able to tell I'm a huge Boston Bruins fan, from... Boston. And if there is a WoF episode (or Jeopardy! episode) where there is a Montreal Canadiens fan, a Philadelphia Flyers fan, and a Vancouver Canucks fan on the show (any combination, all, or one), I hope they all lose.
Removed unnecessary quoting and unnecessary bolding.

LOL. There's probably more hockey fans here, however I can't guarantee they're Boston fans.

My top interest is my family -- I enjoy spending time with them, although my mother slightly less so (I've mentioned before, if not on here then the old Sony boards, about how she watched The Crosswords-Temptation Hour every day). I like to watch classic television (and a bit of modern stuff) and play video games, I'm more interested in Japanese culture than American because the former is very...weird, and I've been writing various things since May 2008. As for sports, my interests usually hover near golf, bowling, and pool. Obviously, I'm a game show fan.  I especially love vintage and obscure shows, and pilots moreso. I have accounts on MyCokeRewards (I swear, I have a huge bag full of bottle caps to enter), Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Wikia. And I also love Pibb Xtra.  |

LOL. There's probably more hockey fans here, however I can't guarantee they're Boston fans. Yeah, but I think the Bruins must've gained popularity in 2011, especially with the Stanley Cup Championship and the departure of the Atlanta Thrashers to go to Winnipeg (i.e. upon that departure, some fans there became Bruins fans. Others went to watch other teams, most likely those are Nashville, Florida, and Tampa Bay's NHL franchises) ^Just a heads-up -- your continued statements about being "the only Bruins fan" look like posting just to post or to reply to replies. (Not sure how to word that, really...) Ok, talking about "Why is there a multitude of Maple Leafs fans here? That stresses me out..." But either way, this IS Mr. Irrelevant we're in. I have accounts on MyCokeRewards (I swear, I have a huge bag full of bottle caps to enter) and I'm a huge laying in bed all day fan.

My non-game show interests usually relate to other television shows & video games. I'm a huge laying in bed all day fan. As for sports...sorry, not a fan. My interests usually hover near golf, bowling, and pool. Exactly the same for me. Especially bowling, that's my favorite sport... |

woffan2008 above: Cool for the first 3. But I personally hate soccer. (Just my opinion.)

Like others here, I am also a fan of ice hockey...though I'm more of a college hockey fan than an NHL fan. In addition to hockey, I also enjoy baseball and college basketball. Perhaps I'll start a thread about people's favorite sports teams... Aside from sports, I also enjoy video games, especially the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games (not so much the new ones, though Colors was actually decent, and Generations is effing awesome)...to this day, my favorite video game remains Sonic 3 and Knuckles. I also enjoy playing RPGs, strategy games, sports games, among others...though I'm not a big MMO fan. As some of you already know, I'm also a hardcore roadgeek. When I'm not around here or G-R, I can also be found hanging around the AARoads forums, discussing the various intricacies of signage practices and highway numbering schemes across the country and world. When taking car trips, I will often take different roads to clinch a new route, or will often just drive down some random back roads looking for old signs and bridges. I often integrate this hobby with others in some capacity- I often use the FHWA series of fonts on my various graphics, and I designed and added a bunch of road sign avatars to the default avatar gallery here. I'm also a TV nut. EDIT: Too lazy to start a "favorite sports teams" thread, so I'll just list them here: College hockey: Clarkson Golden Knights NHL: Detroit Red Wings MLB: New York Yankees College basketball: (#1!) Syracuse Orange |

Aside from watching wheel and other game shows, I have an interest in cars, trucks, and SUV's. They can be anything as long as they look good. I have a long list of vehicles I like I will not post a list of all of them, but a few from each of the said categories.

Perhaps I'll start a thread about people's favorite sports teams... I can if you want. Moderators: If you don't want that, tell me. |

Well, considering that I said that I was debating it... ...and I'm an admin... ...I don't care. Go right ahead. This IS Mr. Irrelevant, after all...it's supposed to be the off-topic forum. We just don't want it to become filled with stupid, "random" threads...or silly games. |

I run the site as primary admin, this is fine- and can help the site grow, through common interests.
As for me, I'm a crazy sports nut (as one can see in the other thread), and I also enjoy video games to relieve stress, from Pokemon, to Sonic, to Mario, as long as it's a good game, and as my fellow admin says, Generations is especially epic, notably so in 3D. When not at home, I like to do acting (I'm in the show of my avatar), traveling, reading, fine dining, wining and cheesing, trvia, other game shows (namely classic Price), play hockey, go to sporting events, the occassional club, and just having a good time. Holy crap, what a run-on.

I like sports (like everyone else), music (listening to it and playing on the piano), and video games (I got an N64 for Christmas a couple years ago; but I'm also a Sonic and Mario nut).
As for the non game show video games I DO have--I've got Wave Race 64, StarFox 64, and Pokemon Stadium (which is my top favorite).
And I also take naps to relieve stress--sometimes after eating! (If that's not a good idea, then I don't know what is)

I like watching cartoons, drawing (http://tehshigelisok.deviantart.com), playing piano, guitar, bass and mandolin, writing songs and reading. I also collect country music CDs and hymnals, and I have a list of every mall in the United States, dead or alive.

I especially love vintage and obscure shows, and pilots moreso.
