Everybody's Gotta Have A Hobby

... but some of them are more sensible than others.

My colleague Gary, for example, has one of the nuttiest hobbies i've ever encountered. He's a semi-professional wrestler. This equates to 'gets the living crap beaten out of himself for beer money under circumstances which "real" professional wrestlers wouldn't touch because of the safety hazards.'

His group even has a YouTube video of some of their action, featuring interview segments with some of the participants, talking about why they do it. Warning: you probably don't want to watch this at work with your speakers turned up, because there are a pretty good sized smattering of profanities, most notably the Anglo-Saxon copulative.

Oh, yeah- it'd help if i gave you the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7RCq_3HGSk&mode=related&search=.

Takes all kinds, eh?
