There was a guy that would "host it" at the bar we went to. Basically various tables of people competing - prize was usually a good chunk of cash for the tab.

A journalist would be alright, but a spy would be totally awesome. Although your story sounds like something a spy would say. hmm......

Making myself sound believable when I actually know nothing about something. Written english, especially involving elaborate sentence structures. Coming up with grand creative ideas.

I'm pretty good at what I do ... publish a magazine. But so are others. I guess what I'm unnaturally good at designing simple, effective work flow systems, winning coin tosses (any one who knows me won't let me decide things with a coin toss), and figuring out the Wheel of Fortune answer. I usually figure it out in about half the time it takes contestants to figure it out. I don't even like Wheel of Fortune .. it's too simple.

I am pretty good at driving fast and like a jerk.

I am pretty good at slo-pitch pitching, so that the opposing team hits homeruns.

I'm also good at sleeping.

I am good at doing things at the last minute, problem solving, thinking on my feet, and being an upstanding gentleman. I can manipulate situations if I see the need to, and that is something that some people just can't do.

But in general, I am pretty damn good at just being myself.

You forgot "being a fan of all the right teams".
Flames + Liverpool FC.

That said, I'm good at cooking as well (just ran a potluck type thing for the opener...but I cooked everything)
Water Polo
Staying awake (I generally don't drink caffeine....when I have to, it keeps me up for 12 hours straight)
