Damn, I was going to say that but got caught up reading about Bruce Lee, Sammo Hung, Chuck Norris, Bolo Yeung, etc on us.imdb.com...*sigh* I can do a very good Comic Book Guy impersonation as well as Krusty and the very tall guy who drives the Volkswagen that torments Nelson. I also know the complete history of the band Yes and their revolving lineups through the Big Generator album. I told a co-worker about the Yes "family tree" and he looked at me and said, "Manny, you might be the only person in the world who knows that and better yet, even care!" Also, I can name off the world series winners and losers if given a year. One of my old college roommates thought I was the second coming of Rainman, LOL.
I can make my joints make this popping sound all the time... It's not cracking my knuckles or anything like that, I've got all sorts of weird stuff thanks to the arthritis. I can twirl pens, and I can yell at kids really well... Thats about it I think.
I can sing the chorus to any top 40 song or television song from the 80's. Just by hearing the title of the song.
I can make my tongue look like a clam shell. Not just your ordinary taco anymore. I can find the mistake in almost anything that has one. I can also make the SMARTEST-aleck remark at ANY time. Like I was born yesterday, or something... [complete this one...]Boy, I've been told, leaving you is the thing to do... [your turn]
If you were born yesterday, seems to me like you could only make smart-aleck comments from yesterday on. That hardly seems like ANY time to me...
I'm one of the world's greatest steering wheel guitar players, lol! You're not alone. The difference, and it's a huge one, is that you're actually a musician.
"Like I was born yesterday, or something..." required the use of the little guy, but I didn't add it. Sorry I made THAT mistake. Hey... you capitalize words to emphasize just like I DO! RocketMan Tex, that song is in the Gran Turismo 3 soundtrack and I knew it by heart. I COULD sing it, but wouldn't know what the heck I was saying. Can you accompany this German-attempting Mexican with your guitar to Noventa y Nueve Globos Rojos?

I can pick up song lyrics almost instantly. If I don't know one, it's probably because I either don't know the song at all or couldn't understand what they were saying. I can play a pretty mean marimba or xylophone... may not sound like a useless talent but there's not a whole lot of use for it. It's not like all the bars and clubs in town want to book classical percussion ensembles for gigs. I can usually think of smart-aleck remarks or dirty jokes about almost anything if I try to. Not a great habit.
