Its kind of a bragging thread, but its cool to hear what people are good at be it work, sports, music, academics.
In my younger years I was a very talented baseball player. I, 4 times played on a traveling all star team as a catcher. I had a cannon for an arm, and was a fairly good hitter. I was a good contact hitter with occasional pop.
I was a decent bowler as well when I was young. I maintained a 170 average. High game, 244.
I am a strong vocalist and have sang in bands off and on for 20+ years. (check out my link)
I am a pretty strong cook. I have had this passion since I was a teenager and feel I can cook with any amateur out there.
That would be my strengths.
What are yours?
-
I would wage money on my breakfast making abilities.
I can run a car into the ground and not scratch it.
I can fall from high places and be okay.
I made the allstar team in my district as a pitcher 5 years in a row.
I'm a good backyard demolitionist.

I honestly can't think of any unique talents I have. This is something that has been seriously bothering me for years. I hope one day to discover that one thing I can identify and go "yeah, I kick ass at that." Until then...I'm not exceptionally good at anything.
I can fall from high places and be okay.
Damn right you can :lol :metal

Improv comedy. I wouldn't say I'm a professional, but I've gotten paid for it before.

Long fingers, very useful in various aspects of everyday life ;D

Oh god I would love to see you do stand up.

Cooking
Playing guitar
Looking at boobs

I also excel at Coz's last but best talent.
-
Guitar playing and languages are probably the two biggest ones. And, my previous supervisor on his last day at work told me that I have an uncanny ability to debug code. I never perceived it as such, but apparently it's an ability of mine.

I can play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and know enough about audio engineering to be able to write and record over 60 songs in the past two years.
Um, I can write pretty well, despite this sentence.
I can also tape all of your buns together.
-

That would make a pretty big bun, I can not lie. And I'm sure you other brothers can't deny.

You got detention for taping Larry Lester's buns together, didn't you?

Hockey
Tennis
Golf
Economics

Surprisingly, I'm not very good at stand up comedy, at least when I've tried. Who knows, though. It has been a few years.

What about writing Cracked articles?
-
Yeah, maybe your forte is in writing way more than in front of people. That is how it is with me, and you need to be like me, Lee.
-
Eh, I make passable cartoons.
and I'm not fishing for compliments, I just feel that I have a long way to go.
I also put some poetry I'm proud of in the poetry thread, but some of it is embarrassingly bad stuff I pull out of word files from my high school freshman year and post when I've been up far too late.

I have so many poems now just from high school and early college days. It's interesting to read back on that stuff...to me it's good, but I dunno how others would like it.
-
I'm a decent cook, and apparently I have a sort of natural ability to kick ass at fighting games right off the bat...this is evidenced by the fact that if me and my friends pick up a new fighting game and try playing it together, they tend to get frustrated and stop playing with me :(

Dude, where the fuck have you been? NO ONE likes poetry. The entire art form has become a huge fucking cliché in the past century by people who have never read a poem in their life.
But you write them anyways so you can express how gad damned deep and complex and thoughtful you're probably not while others keep making the word "poetry" more and more of a joke every day.
sorry i'm just stressed out and i hate everything
-
Been using computers from at least 5 years of age, so as expected I'm as good with computers as a person should be from at least 1995.
Playing guitar for over 3 years now, practicing from a decent amount of time to a lot of time during the week. Can't say I suck.

What about writing Cracked articles?
I've thought about it. My biggest problems with that are finding the inspiration for ideas, and doing it on any sort of a schedule. I'm happy with posting here because I can hop on, see if anything strikes my fancy, and post at my leisure. There's nothing forcing me to turn in ten posts that garner :lol replies by Thursday, or else my account is deleted.
Plus, there's the research, which I hate, and nobody wants to read a Cracked list about the eight coolest things learned in Bill Bryson's latest book, which is the closest I'd get to researching anything not involving professional wrestling or the English language. I'm sure you can see how those topics would wear thin.
Besides, they already have Seanbaby. What else could I add?
-
Hmm...maybe bosk should start hanging your account deletion over your head and you have to garner 10 lol smiley's a day. A "rollin" counts for 3.

Is a LOLavarium worth a week of smileys?

Yes...because they are rare and deservedly so. :tup

probably thinking objectively...but other than that nothing special.

err well i mean actually attempting to think as objectively as possible, removing myself from ulterior motive/bias as much as I possibly can (although I agree it's ultimately impossible)

I used to be good at hockey, then I dislocated my shoulder three times and cracked a vertebre in my neck, so now I'm just average.
I'm good at golf, but I turned down scholarship opportunities which I now regret because I have no idea what the hell to do with my life.
I'm pretty good at one-liners and having funny arguments with people.
And this is maybe weird, but I can cut grass so damn straight it's not normal, that is why I work at golf courses.
And things I suck at:
-studying/school--just can't do it
-I can be kind of lazy
-keeping things in order
-
Well..I guess I can make a pretty good omelet. That's about it.
-
Cooking and billiards, that's about it.

I am the master of sleeping. Nobody can go as catatonic as me, and for details ask FadetoblackDude7.
According to my friends on campus, one time I was sleeping on the top bunk in my dorm room. They tried slapping me, shaking me, yelling as me, and I wouldn't wake up. Then they pulled me from the top bunk and let me hit the floor head first. I still did not wake up. Then they poured water on my face, and I finally woke up...with a massive headache.
My other talents are
Drawing
Painting
Belly-dancing (not so much now cause I'm out of practice)
Long-Division
Alphabetizing anything
-
I'm alright at guitar, but not great.
I'm nasty at most video games I play.
I'm really good at customer service (yet socially awkward).
Can't think of anything else right now.

OK that's not normal, but I bow to your sleeping skills :hefdaddy
You seem to be the perfect candidate for a nice night time burglary though.
"They stole my bed!" House emptied in shock theft!

Most of my talents center around my memory.
- I can remember numbers with ease, it's great when purchasing stuff online and not having to grab your card.
- I'm great at being able to recite things I've learned years ago, hell I can even remember trivial conversations.
- I can drive someplace and then forever remember how to get there.
Besides all of that, I can cook really well.
-
I'm a good listener.

That is really woah
-
Hmm......maybe a few. I'd say;
Strategical thinking: Well, Im sort of a 'big picture guy' as they say. I prefer looking at the over-arching theme than just the details. Consequently I guess I'm pretty good at strategy games :lol
Introspection: People would call me a loner, or cold/distant. Rather I just like thinking to myself. It's nothing hateful or malevolent...I don't mind talking to people at all if they approach me. I'm also pretty humble I must say. I don't talk about my achievements to anyone really (high test scores, sports awards etc) and I prefer to present a honest imagine instead of being cocky or boastful, as I really dislike those qualities in others.
General open-mindedness: Well, I prefer not to judge, until I have the full story. Because i've only found that judging early results simply in misconception or stereotypes. New theories and ideas should be thoroughly examined before being 'dismissed'
oh you wanted practical talents...I guess good hand-eye coordination...reading & writing fast.....that's about it.
-
I can fill my penis with blood if exposed to a photograph of Sigz.
-
I'm good at memorizing things. Like, a short speech or songs or things like that..
I can hit a wicked high E note. :hat

Apathy.
-
Singing and art...that's it.
-
Apathy.
-
I'm also really good at walking around silently. More times than not I scare people when I say Hi to them. They don't hear me behind them, and then they freak out.
What's the phrase?...Ninja'd?
-
Eh rowing I guess?
I dunno I don't feel I have much talent.
:sadpanda:

It's pretty cool, I'm a great listener because of it.
There are some strange things that I can't recall if my life depended on it, for example I'm fluent in Lithuanian which is my native language except I can't remember my left and right, I even wrote the words on my hands once to remember but I still confuse them.
-
I like to think I'm pretty good at guitar. I've also been playing trumpet for about 7 years, and I'm always improving in that department.
Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I would consider especially impressive. I knew the 50 states and their capitals when I was 2 years old, but that's obviously not cool anymore since I am no longer a baby. :p
-
youre also sexy wich is a talent in my eyes
-
Thanks, babe.
-
Unfortunately what he said is probably a lie if you factor in that he is drunk as you can see by his post in the chat thread.
I still think your sexy.
-
Drumming (the one I'm most proud of)
Essay writing
Arguing :lol
-
Arguing :lol
I doubt that, prove it.
-
I'm quite good at debating
I'm very good at writing essays when I put effort into it, I got several first grade classifications for pieces of work at uni and that's not particularly easy in an arts subject
I'm pretty good at cooking vegan food... nothing really fancy but I'm definitely capable and can produce awesome tasty meals
I'm good at being non-judgmental and empathetic towards pretty much almost anybody, sounds hazy but you'd be surprised at how few people can go into a prison and do voluntary work with some serious criminals without letting it get in the way, or tell their mum they don't want them to commit suicide but if they want to do it they shouldn't feel guilty because I respect her own decisions... I'm good at getting people to open up about their feelings to me.
-
I can do the water drop sound that Cameron makes in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I'm also good at remembering lines of movie dialogue and song lyrics and introducing them into everyday conversation at opportune times.
-
I've been national sub-top in highjumping for 6 years in a row now. Always around number 4-8 on national championships.
Apart from that I can play keys, guitar, bass and drums pretty well, I've got a great bass voice (once went as low as Ab1) and I had a good whistle (as in singing whistle notes) as high as the highest E on the piano.

Add "Controlling the weather" to my list of talents, apparently.

My music, and some freefunning.
Also poetry

I'm really good at editing and telling people what to do.

I can play guitar pretty well. I think I'm quite a good producer too, i.e. working out arrangements, melodies, etc. I working on my mixing skills, and they're getting there, but I have a feeling I'm gonna get my ass kicked when I go to Music College in September :lol
I can draw pretty well, and I can remember little things very well.
I can do the water drop sound that Cameron makes in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I can SO NEARLY DO THAT, but it's kinda feeble.
What's the technique?
-
I think I have another one. I'm able to hit the notes of a "female's" vocal register. I mean I'm even amazed that I'm able to do that. Doesn't mean I can sing that good though. I still need lessons on that, can't wait for those to start.
