I don't really get stressed much anymore, I'm like a duck.

If I do happen to get stressed I will do one or all of the following:

Cook something intricate and time-consuming
Have a beer or two
Hit the gym/go for a run
Play a game (TF2 is preferable right now)
Watch a favourite movie

Shooting works wonders, but it's expensive (though if you use a 22, not TOO bad)

I hate running, but I like biking, that seems to help for me.

Enjoy some ear damaging Loud music, nothing like a mosh pit at a good concert to get your mind off of things

Snowmobiles! Even if it's just in a circle in your front yard, lol

video games have some effect ... though sometimes they can add to the stress ... stay away from MMO's....

Good TV/Movies are good! Watch some Band of Brothers....

Read something (Band of brothers is a good read!)

And of course the most obvious, but that often includes a whole new source of headaches/stress ... get laid!

Sit up late into the night convulsively clicking through AT forums...

Unfortunately it doesn't really work.
