Is there anything Kerry doesn't do?

[osaMABUSh]

OK, I lead a normal, middle class life with probably a lot more free time than John Kerry and I'm much younger and in pretty good shape but this guy runs circles around me in terms of abilities and pastimes. I'm not saying this in a negative way.

Just for the fun of it let's make a list of Kerry's hobbies/activities/abilities and we can throw in serious biographical stuff to if want (like Veteran).


I'll start with a couple:

Guitarist

Motorcycle rider

[Ruffhowse]

1. Snowboarder, sailor

[Imperialism Inc.]

2. Skiing

and snowboarding

[osaMABUSh]

3. Since no one seems to care what Kerry does in his spare time

I'll add another (and give myself a Bump)

Snowboarding

[k in IA]

4. pilot

[osaMABUSh]

5. Guess we all thought of

snowboarding at the same time

OK how about

Hunting

[Imperialism Inc.]

6. One thing I don't think I've seen is Kerry golfing.

That has to count for something... he isn't a golfer!

*ducks* as DU golfers yell "fore" and aim for my head....

11. I concur - as a kid I loved golf but now it is getting a little

too popular and snobish.

SO Kerry doesn't play golf and Bush does - might be something to that.

7. Hockey

[JI7]

8. i don't think he golfs

[coloradodem2005]

9. Hockey. n/t

[k in IA]

10. Sail surfing? I can't remember what it is called but I remember

seeing the pictures. Surf board with a sail attached.

12. Sailboarding

[k in IA]

14. Thank you - I feel like an idiot.

[Taylor Mason Powell]

13. I can't believe nobody's mentioned he plays BASS!

They're re-releasing some stuff he did with a band back in high school. There was an article about it in the SF Chronicle last week. Sorry no link. But add "musician" to the list.

Very impressive.

EDIT: Oops silly me you did mention Guitarist. Close enough. Gotta read the WHOLE post before jumping in, Taylor!

made the cover of American Windsurfer in '98. Here is a great interview with him.

16. Oh yeah?

Well, uh, George Bush can, uhm, drink half a rack of cold, frosties before 9 a.m.! AND play a passable rendition of "Amazing Grace" on a humanatone.* So there.

*Also known as a nose flute. No, you don't want to know any more than that.

17. Edwards climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro

without training, reached the summit at 19,500 feet and he is afraid of heights.

(and Dumya, well, dumya fell off his bike once.)

[BiggJawn]

18. Bicyclist. And he seldom falls off.

And he rides a built-for-him bike from Serotta, not some POS Huffy that Karl picked up at Sam's Club because he thought it was important that Dumbya be a cyclist too...

[homelandpunk]

19. waffles

HAHA!! HEY!!!! I'm kidding. jeesh! Don't bother replying. It's a JOKE.
But seriously....

[homelandpunk]

20. kills people

HAHA!! Just joking. OK, well...he did kill some human beings in Nam. But that's one more thing he's done that I haven't.
Since we're listing all the things he's accomplished at.
