Random Skills of Excellence

What can YOU do?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Random Skills of Excellence

Post by Lulu the Paw »

We all have crazy random things we can do that almost no one else can. You know you do! Can you type 90 words per minute? Clear a full dinner table in one trip? Have you perfected Oreo eating technique? Are you a world champion duck-caller (is there even such a thing)?

Have fun with this silly post! :D

And I did this at my youth group, well at Sunday school (it was to get a CD).

I can ride a unicycle fairly well. But besides that I'm almost normal.

EDIT: Oh, I can give you a decent lecture on orbital mechanics if you would like me to as well.

I can play Minesweeper fairly well. After watching some crazy youtube videos of the experts clearing boards, I made a new personal best: 82 on expert. The world record is something in the neighborhood of 38, though...

I can write in my own mode of Quenya (Elvish from The Lord of the Rings) and am learning the language. I wrote my first poem in Sindarin (More Elvish) today! \:D/

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...

I can touch my nose with my tongue, and can turn anything into an argument.
Thought I much prefer constructive debating.

I can type above 78 words per minute, while the average person can type about 42 WPM. I can also write, and I am excellent in avoiding people. I can also run a 6 1/2 minute mile. I can finish an advanced game of Sudoku in about 4 minutes flat.

...

And I can recite various memorised things.
they may be copper,
annoying little coins! but,
they might be giants.

I can crack my jaw really hard, but usually it's involuntary. :anxious:

Also, sometimes if I breathe deeply, I can crack my ribcage! \:D/ :-s
