Writing off the cuff
Name that tune at least when it comes to rock.

I'm a pretty good scrabble player. Have flirted with playing in a tournament but have never done so.

Chugging beer...I used to be really fast. It's been so long since I had a 'competition' that I don't really know how it would go now. (not talking about bongs or shotgunning here....straight out of a glass beer chugging!)

Refining processes (Continuous Quality Improvement)
First impressions
Math

It's sad that it took me a few moments to think of something...

Movie trivia
Skating
Dancing

Subtle sarcasm.
Speed-reading.
Making up alternate lyrics to songs (on the fly) to amuse or annoy my friends.
My job as an IT drone.

I am REALLY good at lying. And talking. I've tried lie detectors, and they've got nothing on me.

There are a lot of things that I'm good at, but other than these two, I don't think there's anything I could say I'm better than a good portion of the population. I got my Grade 10 in piano. So did a schwack of folks. So it doesn't really count.

pleasuring women
jeopardy, actually any trivia in general especially movies/culture

I am pretty mediocre at most things however the couple things that I am freakeshly good at are remembering names, faces, birthdays, and phone numbers.

I am a pretty good runner as well.

KG mentioned the accordion in the things you suck at thread - I happen to be very good at the accordion. Yes it is THAT cool.

Other things
- Name that tune, used to go out on weekends and win our bar tab almost every time
- Typing, I can flat out fly on a keyboard. And if there is one skill that I would tell people to learn - it's how to type properly. The amount of time you save at work is incredible.

mrdeeds · 10-09-2008, 08:03 PM

You'll have to ask the wife about that.

How did you guys play at the bar? Was it informal, just whatever song comes on while you are there or was there in interactive system being used? I'd love to have an organized meeting every once in a while for that purpose. I don't know anybody here (KS...not cp) that would be into it. It's been a while....Del's Bar...Somers, MT early 90's. Good times.

I am a pretty good typist myself. I had a friend early in life whose mother was our school librarian. Her typing sounded like a freaking machine gun. She was really fast.

like Phanuthier, I am a good public speaker, I can be very pursuasive in my speeches.
I also have the innate ability to remember small details about things.
I'm a good dad.
I have also been told that I am a strong leader. Most organizations that I have been involved with, I have been the President of said organization. My wife says I'm a control freak!!!

I'm the opposite. Have used many different programs in an attempt to speed up my typing but failed miserably. I have to rely on the 2 finger system AND the edit feature for all my numerous mistakes

What impersonations can you do?

Dion · 10-09-2008, 08:14 PM

EDIT: EG beat me too it.

Weiser Wonder · 10-09-2008, 08:16 PM

Poker.
I'm very witty.

I'm good at a lot of things but those are the only things I would say I'm exceptional in.

Whoa now I'm no Frank Caliendo but I can do a few.

Actually my friends say I'm rather good at the Rexall announcer I don't know why kind of sucks because I hate his voice.

I can do the Joker from Batman alright too.

JFK from Clone high is another, which is why I'm going to be him for Halloween.

flamefan74 · 10-09-2008, 08:24 PM

I am good at coming up with stories for excuses. I can blow you off and make you feel good about it. I know there has to be a use for this somewhere.

I know a pile of useless trivia.

Also good at acting cool under pressure. Apparently I don't let my stress show through.

Now that I see what I have written, maybe I should be a spy. Or a politician.
