Being a Gentle Giant's fan is rather rare. Foot fetish (sexual attraction to feet, usually - and in my case, too - the female ones) is also, well, pretty non-common. 

Later I have also discovered that I love TT - Tiny Toon (the computer game for Sega 16bit video console, mainly). 

Are there other people who love abbreviations consisting of two identical letters? 

Confused

No, but I also like French actresses Corinne Clery and Brigitte Bardot. 21 letters left...

I suppose that you enjoy listening to English Electric by Big Big Train while you're playing Dungeons & Dragons.

For one second, I thought "GG" was referring to GG Allin.

Well, it's not PunkArchives, sir. Here, by default, GG refers - in my mind - to Gentle Giant. Big smile

Actually, foot fetishes are one of the most common kinds of fetishes. At least of the ones that people consider to be more "uncommon".

Anyway, is it blasphemous to mention J. Jonah Jameson of Spider-Man? Is three too many? Or perhaps I should get off this thread and spend more time with my girlfriend, who, unlike me, has XX chromosomes (the only way I could see using double X haha).

Three is never too many! Initially, this phrase just had come to my brain from somewhere outside of me. So, there must be something very wise in it. Or not. 

Leading the thread into another direction, off-topic-wise, though, as the former Soviet citizen, I may say that in the Soviet times the common price for a standard bottle of vodka that the common people used to drink was 2 rubles 87 copecks. 13 copecks went for a traditional snack - a piece of processed cheese Druzhba (DROO-zh-bah, friendship) cost quite 13 copecks. 

So, three friends was not only the name of the Gentle Giant's third studio album. It took three persons each contributing 1 ruble to the common cause of buying a bottle of vodka. Three is quite the deal, thus!

Going totally off-topic, me living in Ukraine, in a rather provincial city, I wouldn't say that my fetish quite shocks a lot of people. Well, everybody knows that I am crazy even without that fetish Confused - still, it's usually more or less being taken without any hint at shock or disgust as such. 

I was amazed to find out that in the Soviet music comedy "Three Men In A Boat (To Say Nothing Of The Dog)" (based on exactly what you think it was) there was a scene with some slight foot fetish in it. The Soviet version added three women to the plot. So, the protagonists slept and saw a dream...:

I also have a fetish for something with the initials FF, but I'll keep you guessing as to what it is. Wink
 
I wonder if a GG fetish has anything to do with ladies dressed in riding boots and tight jodhpurs. Tongue

The origin of my nickname traces back to 1994, the soccer World Cup in the USA, during which I became an enormous fan of soccer. EADN stands for the real name of the king of soccer, Pele - Edson Arantes do Nascimento. D stands for Double (I actually meant The Second, but was too young to know the English word for it). So, to me for a long time in the 1990s, FF might only mean France Football, prominent French soccer magazine.

I'll guess at Fish Fetish.
