[Question] What do you like?

I was recently asked by a friend's daughter what I liked. I asked, what do you mean? She said, "Well, I like ponies and kitties and princesses. What do you like?"

I had to think for a moment. I'd never actually had to formulate a list of the "things I like." After a few seconds, I said,

"I like video games, pretty girls, fast cars, fighter planes, guns, explosions, barbecued meat, cheap whiskey, smart comedians and music that couldn't exist without electricity."

She lost interest about halfway through the sentence.

Anyway, that sounds like an interesting forum topic.

What do you like, as expressed in a single sentence under ten seconds?
 
I like comics, superheroes being genuine superheroes, yoga, telling lame jokes and making people laugh, writing, urban cycling, and wrestling."

I don't know if that's ten seconds, but I guess it'll do.

This is rapidly approaching the threshold of things I can't see going over well if they were said to my friend's 5 year old daughter.
 
I like animation, comics, toys, sports, lots of music, dogs, reading, drawing and taking pictures.

I think I can pass for a 5 year old.
 
Animation, comics/manga, comedy, occultism,mysteries,puzzles, animals, heat, food, good booze, comedy, lasers, imagining what it would be like to SHOOT lasers, solitude, conversation, my beard, anarchy, chaos, order, robots, and sleeping.
 
I like intelligence, books, nice smelling things, fuzzy socks especially if they're purple, Thursday afternoon coffee, hugs from my kids, Aussie's laugh, sitting on the beach for hours, and music that seeps into the silence instead of taking over the environment.

Sorry if this sounds weird. I'm feverish.
 
Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string...

Crap, I'm possessed by the spirit of Julie Andrews!
 
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

What? I'm a fast talker.

*edit*
Damn you ninja weasels!
 
Great minds think alike.

So I don't know what our excuse is. :p
Well, were you told to post that by one of the Voices, too?

(I'm channeling my inner Yoshi today, it seems)[DOUBLEPOST=1426589462,1426589361][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyway, topic at hand:
I like feeling worthwhile and having made a meaningful contribution. The feeling of a job well done and having made someone else's life better in some small way. I also like being alone and being completely free to do everything when and how I want to, completely free from society, hermit-style.

I abstain.


Just kidding. I love learning new skills. I'm like the Taskmaster, only with everything.
 
Sitting quietly by myself and thinking about stuff. Exchanging ideas. Taking something, and making it work a little bit better. Learning the rudiments of as many things as possible.
 
I like fresh air, blue skies, the smell of bbq, the taste of gin,reading, and playing video games. oh...and smoking. :oops:

Writing that sentence made me once again aprecciate the oxford comma.
 
I like martial arts, video games, heavy metal, movies, comics, steak and beautiful women. Not necessarily in that order.

So yeah, this forum is a pretty groovy place. It has everything I like. :)
 
I like learning new things, traveling to new places, fine scotch and nice cigars at a bbq with friends, beautiful girls with nice bodies that are capable of having a conversation beyond whatever is popular with social media right now, working metal at a hot forge or a melting furnace and building things with my own two hands.

also gonna throw this right here because OP reminded me of it
