The "hobby" is dealing drugs. If you do not think the hobby is dealing drugs, explain how an egomaniac like SlowMo doesn't tell everyone about his new hobby that he blew $1200 on.

Seriously, he bought a ridiculous amount of vaping poo poo on a whim, spent less than $1200 on it, and made sure to detail his purchases in detail so we'd all know how much money he could blow on vaping paraphernalia.

It's dealing drugs, stop making GBS threads up the thread with hobby questions and start the dead pool on how much longer it will be until drug dealing is SlowMo's primary income.

If this thread ends with SlowMo fired and in jail for drug trafficking will it be the greatest success or the greatest failure in BFC / E/N history?

Getting arrested is bad with money. If he can get out of debt selling drugs, more power to him.

It'd better be coke, though. Long-term prospects for selling weed with consistent profit margins in Seattle don't look good.

IF they tax it like they do in Denver the black market will just just fine.

A BFC Poster scans the list of threads. His heart speeds up as he spies what he has been looking for. The Slow Motion thread has been bumped. His breathing becoming shallow and rapid, A BFC Poster clicks the link that leads him to the latest posts in the thread, and hunches over his keyboard. His body is tense. It's been nearly an hour since he last struck, and the pressure in his chest is becoming unbearable. With the last of his patience, A BFC Poster skims past post after post of, "What's the hobby, SloMo?" His pulse quickens further with each iteration of the phrase. Soon it will be his turn! He does not realize it, but A BFC Poster is moaning softly to himself as he moves his cursor to click on the "Reply" button. Into the empty box, A BFC Poster types, "What's the Hobby?" His vision is now tinged gray at the periphery, and he hears the blood pounding in his temples. He hesitates for only the briefest moment - it is all his state of arousal will allow - and clicks submit. In that instant, he feels release. The unbearable pressure is gone, and he is filled with warmth. The chemicals of pleasure course through his body, and his limbs become cooked spaghetti. With his lips slightly parted and his head tilted back, A BFC Poster breathes deeply and holds the air in his lungs. He luxuriates in the feeling of being utterly spent, pleased with what he knows in his heart to be a job well done.

It doesn't fit. It's too noir, it's too fun, and it reads too easily. Where's the stilted dialogue? Where are the sentences you have to re-read two or three times to comprehend? The slowmo memoirs are the literary equivalent of his non-sensical "budgets".

His hobby is probably selling coke. That's probably what that 1500 in "sales" were. So he's now making tons of money on the side. Right... RIGHT?

Had my performance review today. It went well; got the "Effective" rating with guidelines on growing into my newer role and mentoring others not just as a software project manager, but also now as a product manager.

But now I nee help from BFC. That clearly means I should also start spending lots of money per month outside of work on a hobby, but doing what?
A) Restoring antique furniture
B) Sailing in a luxury yacht club
C) Making custom chainmail for LARPing
D) Cutting gemstones

My old roommate's family is pretty rich, and her dad actually asked me if I could get him in touch with a raw gemstone supplier while visiting family overseas, as if it was just something I'd know...
