February 17, 201214 yr The 'things you don't know' was an interesting thread, so I figured we could brag on ourselves a little bit. What are some things you think you are great at? I'm not talking above average, or even good. I'm talking what are you better at than 99% of the other people on the planet? If you were to walk in a room full of people, you would be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that you were the best? Some of mine... Baseball & Slow-Pitch Softball Driving distance in golf Call of Duty and Galaga Catching things after I drop them before they hit the ground Thinking of ridiculous, yet controversial, hypothetical situations Sports knowledge on Sporcle I will probably think of more, but this will start us off. And don't be shy people. Tell BGP how awesome you are.
February 17, 201214 yr Arguing, for starters. People tell me I'm good at writing. But that's one of those eye of the beholder things if you ask me. That pretty much sums up Randy's positives. :lol:
February 17, 201214 yr While not a naturally gifted athlete, I've always been a good imitator, which was helpful in at least making me look like I know what I'm doing when playing sports. For some reason I could always watch the pros on TV and recreate what they were doing (albeit, not as effectively) in terms of things such as batting stance/swing, pitching deliveries, serving and groundstrokes in tennis, form on my jumper, etc.
February 17, 201214 yr Areas of my expertise: Early 20th Century American Literature (especially Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Anderson) Ancient Roman History History, Basic Theology and Philosophy of the Roman Catholic Church Professional Expertise: Bankruptcy Law (Unless it's a meeting of the Bankruptcy section of the bar association, even in a room full of lawyers this is the one area I'd say I'm an expert.) If I had to say I'm "good" at something that you "do", then in a room full of totally random people, then I'd bet I'm one of the best cooks.
February 17, 201214 yr I would post a list, but I don't want to crash the server so I'll just do a quick summary.....Everything.
February 17, 201214 yr I guess this is as good a thread as any for it.....With a lot of people talking in the other thread about being good at trivia, I figured I'd mention the game Bezzerwizzer. So much fun for a trivia buff and it encompasses all possible areas.
February 17, 201214 yr According to Randy Parker, punching people in the face with words...>and I'm OK with that! I've made that my new personal motto, and am taking great pride in living up to that.
February 17, 201214 yr :lol: This one is a little tougher than the other thread. I might now a little bit about a bunch of things, but being great? Hard to say. :lol:
February 17, 201214 yr :lol: This one is a little tougher than the other thread. I might now a little bit about a bunch of things, but being great? Hard to say. :lol: Know.* Apparently I can safely mark spelling off of any potential list. :lol:

February 17, 201214 yr Glad I could help :lol: I'm getting a plaque made for my office....it's really pretty. "Voted Most Likely to Punch People in the Face with Words".....by the members of BGP
