What are your specialties? |
|
I complain very well. I spell with the best of 'em. I will remember your birthday and your phone number and supply them if you forget. I am a repository of useless trivia.

2. I can recognize obscure songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s... |
|
...after hearing a few notes.
I gave up when disco appeared.

3. I can also spell well. |
|
But my real specialities are singing and photography. I can also come up with a "punny" song to fit almost any occasion, sung to a tune of some pop song with a vaguely similar sound as the punny phrase.
Example: Someone says they've just caught their teenage daughter smoking, but don't think they can yell at her because they smoke too. I will spontaneously burst into "Smoke... with your daughter..."
I didn't say it was a good specialty, it's just part of me like your useless trivia talent.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Subtlety is the art of saying something and getting out of the way before it is understood."

I can do the...thing with the best of them. I also drink a lot. Is that considered a speciality? Pretty good speller and grammarian. Other than that, who knows? Sports and some music trivia I suppose.

torture.
Arguing - I will take any side and fight to the death
Cooking - I'm pretty damn good. One day I'll make a great husband to some guy.
Torture - Anything you can do, I can do worse. I'd be an incredible military asset, I suppose.
Khash.

I am also very good at remembering what I read and where. As long as it is word based. I am terrible at remembering numbers.
I am also good at TV trivia from the seventies, eighties, and some of the sixties.

I don't know why, but whenever I post in one, nine times out of ten, everyone runs away.
Any ideas why?
;-)
(Don't worry, if people stop posting, I'll threaten mass bannings until your thread is kicked again!)

10. I have that problem also |
|
But for some reason today has been a banner day; I've posted an enormous amount, and people have responded. HAVE YOU ALL GONE MAD??

If I have killed this thread by posting in it, I'll consider you all to be showing gross anti-moderator bias and throw you all in the DU dungeon!
Now post!

13. You must come over and play Trivial Pursuit with me. |

I, too, am a wellspring of useless knowledge.
