[mr roboto]

Bull####ting

Discussing any topic at a high level.

Waxing poetic on whatever subject is availBle.

This is pretty close to mine. I would add catching. Any type of catching. Frisbees, baseballs, something I've dropped before it hits the ground. I can catch anything.

Herpes?

I haven't had the opportunity yet.

I have no discernible skills whatsoever.

This is my real answer.

"Hung like a can of Pepsi" isn't a skill per se.

Changing channels during a commercial during any NFL or MLB game then changing back exactly as the commercial is ending without missing a second of action.

That's pretty much it.

Criminally underrated talent, IMO. If I ever win the lottery, I'm paying a guy like you to sit on my couch on Sundays. Don't bogart the guac and I might include health care.

Honorable Mention:

Parallel parking my Ford Expedition EL (Extended Length) in one move into a space barely larger than the vehicle length.

I think I posted once about flipping the channels and there was a commercial with Alyssa Milano about feeding starving kids in Africa. Those starving kids made it difficult, but hearing Alyssa's voice brought me back to my youth and I was remembering her as Samantha Micelli on "Who's on the Boss". I almost had to stop due to the combination of those starving kids and a quick thought of Tony Danza, but I was determined. The commercial ended and before I could finish I realized the channel I was on was showing "Radio" (Cuba Gooding plays a mentally handicapped team manager of a high school football team) and it just happened to be at the part when Radio (Cuba) finds out his mother died and he is hysterically crying and destroying his house as Ed Harris tries to console him. This was the ultimate test: first starving African kids, Tony Danza and now a sobbing Cuba Gooding being consoled by Ed Harris!!! I know in the Bible that God pushed Job to the limits, but this seemed more challenging. It took a while, but I finally came through (literally)

I'm not worried about the English Patient or Schindler's List. I've always felt "Cocoon" would be the biggest challenge because a shirtless Wilfred Brimley is masturbation kryptonite. Maybe I'll give it a shot this weekend.

I have the ability to catch just about anything before it hits the floor. Doesn't matter how far away it is, there is some sixth sense that alerts me that something is slipping off a table or whatever and I more often than not get to it before any damage is done. Usually mid-air. Friends have commented on this all my life. It's a thing. It can make for interesting moments when driving, as it can be more involuntary than voluntary.

I have this at times.. mostly when opening a cupboard and something (think spice jar) falls out from being crammed in... I can catch it every single time...

You didn't number these. How are we supposed to know you named three?

• Often messy
• Can be painful, especially when done wrong
• May be followed by bending over
• Comes once a year, though quarterly 'deposits' may be requested
• Everybody wants to receive more than they give

Sounds good enough,

And this man said he had no skills.

 

[Sarnoff]

Plugging in USB cables right-side up on the first try. Dunno how it happened, I used to fumble at it every time, like so bad that I tried one way it wouldn't work, flip it over, wouldn't work the other way, flip it back to the first side and then it would go in. Now, I'm hitting right-side-up on the first attempt at better than 80%. I'm killing the random-chance curve.

I do not have two other skills, however.

 

[Todem]

1. Managing/investing money

2. Playing Rock Guitar

3. Playing/coaching Baseball

That is my life in a nutshell.

I have an expertise singlefecta:

You must teach me your ways, o wise one.

I don't consider anything I do to be particularly impressive. But you all probably would find it to be extraordinary.
