I'm sure this has been covered in some capacity, but anyway...
List your favorite things, can be anything!
Guitar: 80's Ibanez RG550's
Amp: Marshall DSL401 (don't judge)
Pickup: Dimarzio (PAF Pro)
Strap: Ernie Ball
Strap locks: Schaller
Cable: Mogami
Distortion: BSIAB/Wampler Pinnacle
In guitar terms, my favourite stuff is the stuff I have. I don't have the space to have tonnes of stuff any more so it's narrowed down just to favourites now.
Other stuff however...
My old blue Westfield - I should never have sold it :(
My brother's Mk1 MX-5 - Best road sports car ever (for where I live).
It's weird how your perspectives change when you break down what you actually enjoy about something. The MX-5 doesn't have the power to pull the skin off a rice pudding, but whenever I've driven it, I've adored it. You have to absolutely wring it's neck then maintain as much speed/momentum as you can through corners. Because it's on 14" 185 tyres that takes more effort than you'd think. To help you is a magnificently balanced chassis, some of the best steering feel and control weights ever devised and a very light nimble little car. It's bliss.

Last time I did it, I was feeling a bit guilty, then I looked down and I was barely achieving the speed limit. I just thought to myself, if I drove like this in the Porsche I'd be terrified of losing my license. That's when something clicked and I realised that modern cars are too fast, too heavy and too grippy to actually have any fun with on a public road. Fine on track, but there are better things to run on track.

The old blue Westie was nigh on perfect. If I'd kept it I'd have sorted the one thing wrong with it (could have done with a new gearbox). But otherwise it was just nailed on as a road/occasional track Caterfield. Staggeringly well made and brilliant.
juan those look incredible!!!!
okay me
Guitar: Gibson SG Standard
Amp: Marshall JMP
Pickup: ugh, this one is hard, either the widerange humbucker (the proper versions, not the crappy nowaday versions) or the SG standard pickups, 498T and 490R, actually prefer them to any other buckers
Strap: Ernie Ball
Strap locks: Marvel
Cable: Fender white coily cable (I know...but yeah)
Distortion: I don't like distortion pedals, but let's say it's the Triple Wreck. The Sunking is what I like best in the dirt world
Anything... in no particular order
ipod
dark chocolate
dark roasted coffee
raspberry/rhubarb pie made with our backyard grown fruit- incredible
playing hockey, not watching it... but that goes for just about everything
solitude/quiet
moving/travelling/exploring self propelled
successfully bringing an idea to fruition
cooking and sharing a great meal with friends

I think you can guess for noisemaker ;)

Hmm. When it comes to gear I don't really have the money to say "I've tried all this stuff and these are my favorites". My favorites are pretty much just what I've got. Having said that though, I love the following after having tried a number of bits and pieces:
Guitar: My custom Agile. Playing this is like coming home. I lucked out with the neck profile I chose (uniform "speed" profile) and they nailed everything else I requested. It came with a JB in the bridge and a 59 in the neck (accidentally! I specced generic alnico 5 humbuckers), and I've since replaced the JB with my
Favorite pickup: Dimarzio ToneZone. I have this in a couple of guitars now, and I just love the sustain and thickness on the higher strings.
Favorite dirt: Blackstar HT-Dual. Slightly inconvenient to use due to the 16vAC wall wart but it's just an awesome pedal and the cab sim is near flawless imo.
Favorite pick: Dunlop fluro green Riffs (.96? .98?). Can barely play guitar with anything else... I use this to hit a set of
Favorite strings, being a set of D'addario XL 9-46. Chunky for powerchords, light for soloing.
BACON!
I use to say that i'm not a "things" guy, a statement i frequently have to take back. A few really important things in my life:
Coffee machine: Isomac Giada
Electric guitar: Current fave is my home-made telecaster. When i have fixed my old strat, that one will be my fave again. Because its yellow.
My HiFi rack. Nothing special / worth mentioning, just good stuff and i like it.
Guitar amplifier: Suhr / Custom Audio Amplifier PT-50. I dont have words enough to say how good this thing is.
Tuner: Polytune stompbox.
Piano: G. Schwechten upright. I paid nothing(!) for it, it is old, beautiful and holds tuning allright.
Measurement device: Fluke 12
Sleeping place: My bed. Love it.
"effect" stompbox: Low Rider, Cardinal
OD / Distortion: Blüe Monster
Tape: blue
Author (because i just cant pick one title... but i CAN pick an author): Peter Hoeg. No idea how many titles from him is translated, but there should be a bunch.
Garment: tie.
Kidding
Car: No serious interest, but i like to have one and i do!
...
Cheers
Ok, some things other than cars...
Reliability - I like that. Especially when it comes to cars ;) Things failing annoys me... This goes for lots of things, including my back.
Modifying/building stuff - Keeps my mind active. I'm never truly happy unless I'm doing something creative. I get bored very quickly doing the same thing over and over.
Films - I blame a weekend job when I was at college at a video store. Made me a film nerd for all the wrong reasons ;) Also, best job ever BTW.
Road Trips - I'm trying not to make it about cars honestly, but I don't dig lying on beaches. I like to explore. My method of exploration just happens to be by car.
Cleaning... - ...cars. This one has a proviso of the weather being just right so I can spend a whole day making it shiny. Because I live in the UK, there are a very small number of days when this happens, but I always feel good with the result when it's done.
Hmmm, this isn't working...
MJW amps, Feline/WezV/Fender guitars, ASL/Mojo pickups. There that's gear taken care of.
Pedals, now this gets complicated:
Delay - Zero Point DD + Analogue filter or DeProfundis, depending on application.
Reverb - The one in my amp, Neunaber WET, original RaD/Tenebrion.
Chorus - CE-2 or Small Clone
Phaser - Maestro PS-1A and StageFright.
Flanger - Electric Mistress
Vocal wah thing - Dipthonizer
Comp - Lovesqueeze
Tremolo - Quadravibe/STMII+Rej mods
Vibrato - TriVibe
Boost - SHO/Fatpants 2013/Baby Boobtube
OD - Kingslayer/Colorsound OverDriver
Distortion - Catalinbread SFT/Inline 8
Fuzz... - Jumbo Tonebender/Ultrastoner/TSM680/BeeBaa/Standard Fuzz/Spitfire/Fuzzrite/HotSilicon/Demo Tape Fuzz/Peach Fuzz/Buzz-a-Like/Greasebox/ROG 22/7
...and Alice 2

Bloody hell, didn't recognise her! I, ahem, was focussing on her face for a change it seems rather than her frankly magnificent bod.
FWIW, I've seen a lot of her films *blushes* / *shuffles feet*
She's Black Widow in all the Avengers movies.

I have a build thread about it on another forum that I can try to find a link to...It was custom built by a local company to my specs. I am kind of a LP guy converted to a tele guy so there are lots of LP-ish quality.
Body and neck are both mahogany and the the neck actually has a fat 50's LP profile and a 12" radius. Ebony board. Neck and Body both have a nitro dog hair finish. Body has a huge 1/2" roundover. Bridge is kinda weird...it is essentially a fixed bridge (saddles don't move), so it feels more like a bigsby than a fulcrum. Two sunken crazy oversized knobs (because I like crazy oversized knobs haha) and the pickgaurd is actually sandblasted aircraft aluminum.
The pickups are from mojotone. It is not actually a silverfoil though. I asked if they could squeeze a wide range humbucker into their silver foil enclosure and they accommodated :) Bridge pickup is a higher output broadcaster style

Awesome! I really liked the first Ultima Underworld, didn't get a chance to play UU2. Then I played U8 which I thought was cool, in a "drop you into nowhere and you figure it all out on your own" kinda way (this was before there were game walkthroughs available on the internet so easily). Then I upped to Ultima Online around 1998. That game was... basically crack cocaine in video game form at the time. I got out while the getting was good and made a few hundred by selling off virtual wares before canceling my account. Had a lot of fun too.

Have to disagree. Football is clearly depicted on the right. On the left is "soccer". Or, I'll give you "Fútbol". But if you spell it with two O's and two L's then it's definitely the American version. ;)
That isn't football. It's American gridiron.
REAL football is rugby, where men don't feel the need to strap on twenty kilograms of armour and padding just to play a sport.

True but our "football" guys make 10 trillion dollars a year and are endorsement whores so they are dear to us and we must protect them :)

No thats hockey... where you have a disc of (frozen so it bounces less) vulcanized rubber coming at you at 160 plus kph.
Any old music equipment. It's just much easier to work on, and there is a certain satisfaction to resurrecting or repurposing old gear.

Don't you get insects the size of small aircraft? Pretty sure Peter Jackson (head of the NZ tourist board) mentioned it once.

This is the largest (up to 20 cm/8 inches) and pretty harmless insect we have:

Makes a good inspiration for Peter Jacksons stuff though....

It's more the tiny sandflies that can be annoying, like mozzies type of thing. You get used to them though and they are seasonal.
Edit: Let me add that most insects/creepy crawlies are pretty average size and nothing to worry about. We have some funny creatures though, for example in a Nationalpark nearby there's the only two types of meat eating (=predator) snails living in the world...!
I mean, the concept of a snail evolving to meat eater/hunter is a bit bizarre isn't it...? They go after other insects, mainly injured easy catches, for a snail type of speed....
They won't bite your finger though, in case you're wondering that you might get eaten by snails in your sleeping bag :o
8-inch insects? Guess I'm never going to New Zealand. Sorry, New Zealand.

I think you're mixing that up with Australia, those guys over there have 7 out of the 10 most lethal spiders (or was it snakes...?), saltwater crocs that like to have you for lunch or so, stuff like that.... :o
Here in NZ it's pretty harmless, we do have however a mountain parrot (in fact the only parrot in the world that lives in the snow) with a destructive fetish for windscreen wipers and rubber sealant on cars. No kiddin'. They're called "Kea".

This might be the perfect guitar
Big neck check
Wide range humbucker check
Tele bridge pickup check
Simple controls check
Medium flat radius check
Big rounded edges for ergonomics check
Tasteful Tele-esque bridge with working trem system check
Yeah I think this is actually the perfect guitar
