people I see walking in and out of the store are really fat and wear walmart brand incredible hulk shirts
We have this group of old men who play "Flames of War" its basically warhammer based off of world war 2.

I change my mind they are the most annoying people I see at game shops.

They are 40+ year old fat men who have never served a day in the military in there life talking about how THEY would win the war in the middle east (Aka Nuke them all and cover the bombs in pig blood)

They scream and yell at each other and eat cheap hoagies from the store across the street all while saying how they should kill the Muslims/arabs/illegals etc.

We had to schedule Flames of War to a random Wednesday because it has no overlap with other games because they are the worst.

She wasn't his girlfriend. They went on one date. Jon leveraged his winnings into a venture capital company.

David Williams transitioned his Magic skills into poker and made $3.5 million at the WSoP in 2004 and another million in other circuit events.

Do any of your hobbies pay $10K a year?

My old roommate is a semi-professional yo-yoer and gets royalties because his name is on a specific model of yo-yo people buy ha. That's the closest I know to someone making a fair amount of money from a very obscure hobby...it's certainly not enough to pay the bills.

Jon Finkel story. Woman is pretty shallow.

I think the guy who maintains that earnings list and keeps it up-to-date probably has the spurgiest hobby.
