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.

4. Hilarious!
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."

5. Well lets see...
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.

6. Arguing, cooking and
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.

7. Research
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 09:47 PM by Liberalynn
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.

8. Killing threads
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??

12. Ok, that's it....
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!

:evilgrin:

13. You must come over and play Trivial Pursuit with me.
I, too, am a wellspring of useless knowledge.
