Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing badass you can do in class. I mean, I guess you could draw or write poetry, and some people might consider that fun, but there is no badassery to it.
Extracurricularly speaking, however... I've just recently discovered an incredibly fun pastime at my university: swing dance!
Now, before you balk at the idea, hear me out. Learn to dance well, and you will be able to be accurately described as "suave". Suavity is a badass quality.
Secondly, chicks. I almost guarantee you that there will be a gender ratio of, like, 1.5:1. The ladies always outnumber gentlemen because too few men attempt to learn the finer arts of manliness. There's going to be a bunch of at-least-moderately-attractive women just standing around, waiting to be asked to dance. That's just awesome.
Lastly, check this out. I dare you to watch it and tell me that swing isn't cool.

How about sewing/knitting while pimp-slaping not 1, not 2, but 5 honey badgers while riding a twin-headed velocioraptor(spelling?) and feeding an army of dragons at the same time on Chuck Norris' foot.....Like. A. Boss.Caverat said:

This is actually a pretty good idea, especially if the aforementioned relationship is something that can be exaggerated for comedic effect and used in routines. Most successful comedians have at least a few bits about crappy relationships, and you have the advantage of it actually being true!Hollock said:
Free running (not the videos earlier, I can't do parkour for shit, but I know that's too flippy and there's too many unneeded movements) or balisong flipping. You can't look more badass than a man who knows how to twirl a knife around his fingers.
Jesus, dude. He said a hobby. The latter is an organized sport, and the former only isn't because you don't generally kayak against other people.Wolf-AUS said:
I teach a bear punchin' class down at the local creek. You gotta sign a release before we go though, and these bears are gettin a touch uptight and ornery from all the punchin'. But if your punchin' arms game then let's punch us some punchin' bears.Threx said:

THIS! Some of the best comedians made up some of their best material after some sort of turmoil. Rodney Dangerfield had a pretty sad life based on what I remember from a documentary I saw a few weeks after he died.Hollock said:
Other than that...I don't know what the art is called but basically, you use the skeleton of animals and set them up in a sort of natural pose. I saw it in an episode of Oddities...Anyway, just grab yourself some beetles (not sure it there's a specific breed) and they'll clear the flesh off of the bones. It's cleaner and, doesn't produce the same odor as boiling the bones. You can also sell said skeletons for pretty good money if you know the right people.
Start making genetically engineered monsters in your basement and start a whole new circle of anime fights.
It's called "cometing". Basically, you get in a plane, douse yourself in gasoline, light yourself on fire, and hurl yourself out of the plane. Generally your target on the ground is supposed to be a kindergarten or a Chuck-e-Cheese, but in your situation I'd try and land in your ex's front yard.
Hold up! We save the ball chopping for people who want to talk about project mayhem. Fight club is fight club, while the first two rules are don't talk about it we don't actually do anything if someone does. It is hard to build a secret organization bent anarchy and destruction of the "man" if no one talks about it.newguy77 said:
If you came to the meeting more often you would know this shit, jeesh

Also archery and blacksmithing are both very badass hobbies. I vote for those. Nothing badass can be done while in class.... unless of course you are taking badass classes, though I figure if you were you wouldn't be asking for badass advice.
