Secret Talents
now.
for years and years i have sung. but i went to a party recently and got drunk (big surprise ...) on the free pol (non vintage i am sorry to say). there was music playing and i was bored. dull australian women and pashminas as far as the eye could see. so of course i sang.
now fortunately i am also rather loud. so my singing was not quiet.
one of the busty blonde australian things (you know the sort. you never remember the name because you're too busy looking at her breasts and working out how stupid she is) happened to hear my singing. she was apparently impressed.
i think very highly of my singing ability.
but it is of (let us be frank) bugger all use in my life
so i am curious as to what hidden talents lie in GD. (god knows it's never posting good threads [my own included])
so share.
and don't be afraid. if anyone mocks you for your talent i'll come down on them like a ton of bricks and we all know i'm not one to anger.

I manage to act like a total shit when drunk.
Although that's probably better termed "an ability" rather than "a talent".

I was on TV as a child and until recently, was part of the group which held the record for creating the worlds biggest jelly baby.
In retrospect, we should have called it Idi, but I was 7 at the time.

Re: Secret Talents
I can talk (lie) my way out of anything, be it a fight, homework, chores.
I can read people well, i.e know what can and can't be said in front of someone within about 10mins of knowing them.

I find this very offensive. Now do your homework, finish your chores and then get ready for an ass kicking.

I can do far too many drugs at once and still come out of it laughing.
Insanely, and with my hands internally exploding, but laughing.

Re: Secret Talents
I'm very good at lying/manipulating people, at least when I want to and the sitation deserves it (I was always the best at talking my way out of things when I was young and doing pranks), and I'm superb at hiding or concealing things.
And I make great pasta, if I have to say so myself.

Re: Secret Talents
People say I can write pretty well and funny. Although my English isn't that bad in my opinion, I'm a pretty dull writer in English.
(Yeah I know..)
Also, I think face to face I've got the ability to bring a smile to the face of even the most bad mooded person. And what Sarina said.

Re: Secret Talents
I got a grip on drugs.
well more interestingly, I can bend all my finger joints independently of the others, I can put both legs behind my head (no practise) and of course chew my toenails. oh and I can do the inch-punch.

Eerm... that's a bit disturbing =p
Very useless talent: I can go through a whole frisbee game without noticing that one of my legs is completely covered in blood. However, that maybe due to complete and utter cluelessness ... I mean you'd think after sliding across barbedwire {grass} I'd notice the missing layer of skin right?

Re: Secret Talents
I learned how to play the piano when I was 6. I learned how to play the guitar when I was 12, the bass guitar when I was 13, and the drums when I was 14, and been in various rock bands ever since.
I write rock songs and some ballads and I still play all these instruments. I also play by ear, I can learn to play almost any song within minutes of listening to it. I also just recently, these past 3 years, started to self-teach the basics of recording, mixing, mastering and sound engineering - have been recording my own songs through the process and I have my own little music studio in my house.
Aside from cigarettes, coffee, cars and getting laid - music is the main reason why I allow myself to wake up in the morning.

if you agree with the conclusion of Susan Blackmore's "The meme machine" then you will notice that people are a sum of their memes. if their memes are shit, and most are, then the people are shit too.
