Great List Unca.
I agree with most of these (we must be related)
Here are some of mine
Professional Wrestling
Soap Operas
High Speed Boat Racing
Meditation Classes
Multi Level Marketing
Orgies (Believe me I’ve tried) Just Kidding
Clothes Shopping
Jewelry Shopping
Fishing
Reality Shows
Supping up your car
Lawnmower Shopping
Dressing up in women’s clothes on a weekday (Kidding again I think)
i think this is where we should all write angry spittle-flecked letters to unca, fuming about how we can't believe he's such an ignorant philistine that he doesn't like [insert favorite thing here]...
Mamacita- Yes, especially to the bird watching, dewey spider webs, and most of all, reading the dictionary for pleasure. I can't explain why I find the latter so fascinating but I can spend lots of time doing it. I love dictionaries. In the rare book room where I work, we have a first edition of Samuel Johnson's dictionary (1755). We also have access to an online version of the Oxford English Dictionary which is great to browse through. I remember someone saying that the one book essential for a desert island would be a dictionary because the words of all of the other books would be included there.
I think you're right, Mamacita. I was probably thinking of Melville himself. What makes it even more interesting is that he was an ardent advocate for simplified spelling and spelled his own name, "melvil dui" (really).
