So what is the forgotten hobby that this board was designed to address?

Chinchilla Ranching

Extreme Poetry

Chicken Stomping

Geocaching

...

Those are some interesting options.

Might consider chicken stomping.

But shouldn't Geo-caching be that which we don't speak of? Like Lord Voldemort. The you know what hobby.

Letterboxing?

Geo-Caching would be the one "not to be mentioned"

Soon to be forgotten may be my Virtuals

Macrame?

Cheeseracing.

Ant farming.

Moonshining.

Lemon sucking.

Toad licking.

Just to name a few...

How about flipping the milk bottle lids (Pogs?)

You must have been in high school in the 70s.

Not exactly. Some places aren't on the cutting edge of questionable behavior. Yeah -- you try explaining why you've got the '70s Shaggy do or bowlcut when everybody else has a mullet and big hair.

Belly button lint collecting?!

Noone has forgotten moonshining here in TN

Really? Do you....ummmm think you could help me out?

Well you start with some corn and copper tubing.

Well you start with some corn

You get more frementable sugars if you use barley,but corn is much cheaper.

I'm a homebrewer I know how to get the alcohol. It's the distilling it that I don't know. :)

I used to have step by step instructions, and if I find them I'll post em. But here's a start.

How about tatting?

slug licking

Cheeseracing.

Awww. . . I miss Sir Balthazar and JugglerMouse. . . .

We went to our first postage stamp collecting meeting today. It was fun!

Anyone interesting in exchanging quarters that they may be missing from their circulated collections? I am needing Nevada D, Nebraska D and any if the ones released this year...... I also am wanting to see who may be interested in swapping when the new America the Beautiful quarters come out AND..... if anyone has the new Lincoln pennies..... I only have the IL and IN ones......

How can anyone know if it/they are "forgotten?"

(old-fashioned) stamp collecting for me.

Collecting thimbles. I've got over 225 of them. Mostly from different places I've been or my friends and relatives have been.
Our local library sets up displays of our townpeoples' collections (dolls, postcards, etc...) and I've thought about submitting them for display, but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.

I have ONE thimble - from my year abroad.

I would go look at the collection. I think regular patrons would take an interest.

I have many that other people have brought back for me from their travels over seas to Germany, Switzerland, Great Brittain, Israel, Russia, Viet Nam, Colombia, Mexico...
I have most of the US represented.
I also thought I could show a good variety of materials they are made from; plastic, pewter, bone china, glass, leather..., and I even have one made of seal skin.
I have really been wanting a hand-carved one made of meerschaum, but the ones I saw cost a little more than I want to spend.

(I'm such a geek!)

I thought there should be a Thimbelina letterbox in Ohio soon!

I do have a thimble stamp carved that I used for a PLB.

I think thimbles would be fun to collect. One advantage is they wouldn't take up much room and that's what would be good around here!

I also like to collect squished pennies.
We are going to Europe in several weeks for Spring Break. The itinerary is letterboxes, squished pennies, thimbles and ... oh yea, some castles and junk.

I would be!
LOL, I collect thimbles too! Mostly because when I was a kid, and my mom gave me $5 to spend ona souvenir, she told me it should be something that represented my interests...and I wanted to learn how to sew. I don't think I'm very good at it, sewing or collecting, but I enjoy new ones :-) My coolest thimble was unearthed in some archaeological dig. It came to me 3rd hand, so the story consists of "when someone a friend of a friend knew was on an archarological dig..." almost all the rest are tourist thimbles. But still. Nice unique collection. :-)
