#1 KillerGM Mar 25, 2009 1:19:25	Blame dirtyfrank for this. Sooooo... What's your talent? Pics/video will go far in impressing the judges and audience.
#2 dirtyfrank Mar 25, 2009 1:22:42	I have the talent to inspire people with great thread ideas.

#4 ADHadh Mar 25, 2009 7:06:37	I have the talent to inspire people with great thread ideas. And hog the spotlight. I have the talent to ignore threads and hate people.
#5 crossroads_wanderer Mar 25, 2009 7:54:45	I can sing decently well, but there aren't any videos and my laptop has awful recording quality.
#6 rake Mar 25, 2009 8:41:00	I can convince cute Irish redheads to sing for me.
#7 crossroads_wanderer Mar 25, 2009 10:07:25	I can sing over here, but you won't hear it. :P
#8 cherubaddon Mar 25, 2009 10:10:22	I'm working on fluently reading both Latin and ROT13. Does that count :whatsthis ?
#9 teepeekay Mar 25, 2009 10:12:02	I can convince middle-aged women in administrative positions to give me permits. I'm not sure it's ever been caught on tape though...
#10 rake Mar 25, 2009 10:56:20	I can sing over here, but you won't hear it. :P Doesn't mean you won't have done it for me, though. : P
#11 crossroads_wanderer Mar 25, 2009 11:34:55	:P
#12 rake Mar 25, 2009 12:35:36	You know you'd be sad if I stopped trying. :P
#13 crossroads_wanderer Mar 25, 2009 12:36:04	No comment. :P
#14 rake Mar 25, 2009 12:39:40	Speechless? Happens all the time. Ladies love a rake.
#15 strayth Mar 25, 2009 13:34:27	I'm into penciling, and I usually draw fantasy. Here are a couple such pieces: 1, 2.
#16 rake Mar 25, 2009 13:38:15	I'm into penciling, and I usually draw fantasy. Here are a couple such pieces: 1, 2. Really good!
#17 m-bark Mar 25, 2009 13:59:14	My talent consists mostly of making obscure and lame jokes. It is so sad that they cannot walk.
#18 zombie_babies Mar 25, 2009 14:00:41	I juggle bears. With chainsaws.
#19 1_ton_ghost Mar 25, 2009 14:25:24	I can convince middle-aged women in administrative positions to give me permits. Awesome/respect. I'm not sure it's ever been caught on tape though... "You'd like to think that wouldn't you?!" -Fessini, "The Princess Bride" I know how you skated through the DMV so effortlessly despite mammoth sized cataracts and a prosethetic limb...and btw, removing it for her was a classy move ;). Even the gentleman in the cougar den. Stayth, nj. More plz. As for me, some of my talents (that I can post here w/out social censoring or incarceration) are: Craft Weaponsmithing 3 ranks ;): (Jr yr. jewelry [pain in the ass] making) Show
#20 Shiftkitty Mar 25, 2009 14:58:00	My talent is goofing off. I'm supposed to be working right now. I even wrote rules for goofing off. The first rule is that there must be something else that you are obligated to be doing. Goofing off on your own time isn't goofing off. The second rule is that it must NOT be productive. The third rule is that there must be consequences if you are caught. It's not really goofing off if nobody cares.
#21 Idolis Mar 25, 2009 14:58:56	I can belch the alphabet and fart to the tune of the national anthem. Does that count?
#22 pigknight Mar 25, 2009 17:28:54	I can start awesome threads.
#23 dirtyfrank Mar 25, 2009 17:30:56	I can make awesome posts.
#24 pigknight Mar 25, 2009 17:31:43	True that. And the little RP you do in the Edition War is amusing. The Edition War: Sponsered by Soap. Use it for Christ's sake!
#25 ciaran Mar 25, 2009 18:45:32	I used to be in a pretty serious local band, before I cared about paying bills. :D

#27 baneofelves Mar 25, 2009 20:40:14	Don't forget that it's tender and tasty! According to everyone I know, my talent is mixing words of wisdom in juvenile humor.
#28 dirtyfrank Mar 25, 2009 22:42:37	Does KGM have any talents?
#29 fenrir7139 Mar 25, 2009 22:44:06	http://sparkster11.deviantart.com/ I got Talent! sorta.... my deviant art gallery. Those're good!
#30 KillerGM Mar 26, 2009 0:30:46	I used to be able to touch my nose with my tongue. I can wiggle my ears. :D
#31 dirtyfrank Mar 26, 2009 0:37:05	I used to be able to touch my nose with my tongue. Is that because you have a long tongue or a big nose? :P I can wiggle my ears. :D Sort of like dumbo? ;) I can make over 8,000 posts in less than a year, but I don't think I'd call that talent. I can push peoples' buttons. :D
#32 KillerGM Mar 26, 2009 0:39:04	Long tongue. :P I couldn't do it after I got it pierced, though. Yes, like dumbo. I can't fly, though. I'd totally have huge ears if I could fly with them!!
#33 toastedamphibian Mar 26, 2009 7:07:52	I can make Green_Yawgmoth unreasonably mad for almost no reason at all. Check my sig!
#34 rake Mar 26, 2009 7:51:05	In essence, you are everything that is wrong with this forum and indeed are the culmination of what is wrong with the population at large. You skim over a couple lines and think you have enough to be an expert, which you clearly do not. You are not smart, you are not clever, and you are not worth any more time, mine or anyone else's. You get the dubious honor of being one of a very short list of people I officially ignore on these forums. Nice.
#35 saintkeeleon Mar 27, 2009 9:13:46	I can see into people's souls across the internets. Proof of my prowess [post=18082368]here.[/post]
#36 ranadiel Mar 27, 2009 12:42:46	My cousin was on America's Got Talent!.....Oh is this supposed to be about me? My style of programming in Verilog has managed to achieve perfect results, achieve the results quickly, and instill madness in all who bear witness to its magnificence! I can memorize and understand almost any continuity mess no matter how freakikng messed up(I'm looking at you Summers family). I could go on with my talents, but I got to leave some for future posts.
#37 baneofelves Mar 27, 2009 14:07:51	I can make Green_Yawgmoth unreasonably mad for almost no reason at all. Check my sig! What did you say to him to get that reaction?
#38 toastedamphibian Mar 27, 2009 14:29:12	Nothing really. Just click the little blue arrow in the quote if your curious.
#39 baneofelves Mar 27, 2009 14:32:03	Wow. He needs to learn to disagree politely.
#40 dhampyrus Mar 27, 2009 14:33:08	This is why I never bother with [PEACH] threads. Ever. Period.
#41 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 18:45:04	I'm a failure. I hear it takes some amount of talent to be one. Does it count?
#42 baneofelves Mar 27, 2009 18:48:34	Yes, but the problem there is that I'm a bigger failure than you, so I would win if we went with that kind of approach.
#43 Hocus-Smokus Mar 27, 2009 22:39:21	I draw, paint, sculpt and build things. Here's a few of my drawings: WARNING: some of these are a bit on the Not Safe for Work side. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/chris_king1976/Belts.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/chris_king1976/NightQueen.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/chris_king1976/Samurai.jpg
#44 pigknight Mar 27, 2009 22:41:05	I can draw up a chart explaining the love doctehedron in the Edition War.
#45 KillerGM Mar 27, 2009 22:42:52	I can draw up a chart explaining the love doctehedron in the Edition War. Do it! Maybe it will help.
#46 pigknight Mar 27, 2009 22:45:17	I did!
#47 Touchfuzzy Mar 27, 2009 22:50:53	I can make really pretty tables and charts... (seriously, my players always look at my homebrew charts kind of odd... probably becasue of how freakish I am in finding identical colors, as close as possible fonts, and so forth to the original material... plus just random insanity) One day that might help me in an office job I guess (that I hope I never have) Other than that I can sing. I don't have anything to record with or I would. In high school I sang tenor 2 in the boys quartet, we won region, placed something like 3rd in state. I also play drums. And write,
#48 KillerGM Mar 27, 2009 22:51:01	Oh. Where is it?
#49 Hocus-Smokus Mar 27, 2009 22:52:51	Other than that I can sing. I don't have anything to record with or I would. In high school I sang tenor 2 in the boys quartet, we won region, placed something like 3rd in state. Like barber-shop quartet stuff?
#50 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 22:54:22	I draw, paint, sculpt and build things. Here's a few of my drawings: WARNING: some of these are a bit on the Not Safe for Work side. Post these in Astrid's. If you think they are art that gets it right then you should post it in the What Art Gets It Right? thread.
#51 Touchfuzzy Mar 27, 2009 22:55:02	Like barber-shop quartet stuff? Yes. (not exactly, but similar enough) I was supposed to do the Boy's Solo competitions my senior year... but some things interfered with that... (namely having a kid and dropping out to work full time/go to college)
#52 Hocus-Smokus Mar 27, 2009 22:57:07	Post these in Astrid's. If you think they are art that gets it right then you should post it in the What Art Gets It Right? thread. I can't go to Astrids. I get ticked off way too quickly there. My wife hangs out in there occassionally, but they even tick her off. She has said repeatedly "These bi---es are almost enough to make me regret being born a woman". That speaks volumes to me. Especially coming from her, since she's a shrink.
#53 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 22:59:35	What username if you don't mind sayin'?
#54 KillerGM Mar 27, 2009 23:02:38	Me. It's my goal in life to anger posters' wives/girlfriends. ;)
#55 Hocus-Smokus Mar 27, 2009 23:02:44	What username if you don't mind sayin'? Ilora Graywolf I think. That might not be exactly how it's spelled, but it's close. I can never remember if she uses 2 l's or just one. Ilora, Illora... EDIT: Not sure how long it's been since she was on there, seeing as how they tick her off, but hey...General Discussion ticks me off daily and I still post there.
#56 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 23:03:54	I don't think I've seen that username in Astrid's at all. She must be quickly in and out of the parlor then.
#57 MechaPilot Mar 27, 2009 23:15:00	I can also wiggle my ears. I can even do one ear at a time. I can turn a quite a lot of things into self-deprecating comments. My father once tried to get me to sing in church quoting "make a joyful noise unto the lord". I told him "If the lord wants a joyful noise I'd do better to shut my fat a$$ up" I've also been accused of releasing Silent-Boblike nuggets of wisdom.

I go there... avoid actually posting because its a very aggressive place (no matter WHAT your opinion is you will likely be near attacked for it)... I do have fun reading some of the posts to my wife though :P EDIT: @Mecha Pilot... I dream of Veritechs too :D
#59 dirtyfrank Mar 27, 2009 23:17:33	I post there and I ain't have any problems. Well, I do get some flack from time to time but it is almost always from a non Parlor regular that is trolling or what not.
#60 MechaPilot Mar 27, 2009 23:21:02	EDIT: @Mecha Pilot... I dream of Veritechs too :D That's good. Cuz they're coming. I am being 100% serious here. I checked the DARPA site, and I saw a project they're working on "Variable Geometry Aircraft". I'd join the USAF for that.
#61 pigknight Mar 27, 2009 23:21:55	I only played Veritech: Battle Cry. Loved that game.

#67 Mad_Jack Mar 28, 2009 3:47:39	Okay, talents... Dumb stuff - I can wiggle my ears. I'm double-jointed - I'm 265 lbs. and if I practice enough I can still put both legs behind my head. I can dislocate my thumbs at will. I'm pretty much ambidextrous. When I practice, I can do damn good voice impressions of over 15 different characters ranging from Gizmo to Goofy to Darth Vader and even the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz... Not so dumb stuff... I'm a decent mini painter. I'm a published poet - two college literary journals and two pieces in a collection called Who's Who In Poetry that I had to pay $60 to get a copy of In college I also competed in Poetry Slams (competitive performance poetry) on a local level, and could have gone to regional competition if I'd felt like it. One of my poems has been used as a marriage proposal three times and succeeded twice. I'm a trained actor - I did a number of shows in college, one of which was actually invited to run at a well-known professional theatre (although we declined due to scheduling problems and burn-out). I've also performed at national Rocky Horror Picture Show conventions in front of up to 400 people. My main talent, though, is sort of a jack-of-all-trades ability. I'm a natural MacGuyver. Basically, if I can get a clear mental picture in my mind of how something is made or done, then there's a damn good chance I can make it or do it passably well. I've sewn my own theatre costumes and made medieval dresses for weddings, built furniture and done major home repairs, sculpted in every medium from metal to mashed potatoes, and dabbled in more hobbies than I can count. It's actually occasionally become a problem at times - people who've known me for any length of time tend to fall into the bad habit of just automatically assuming I'm competent at everything, no matter how complicated it is...

Robotech was the peak of cartooniness in the blurred haze of my youth, namely 4th & 5th grade. God, I wanted to be Roy Fokker bad. Him or Breetai maybe. Very badass. Oh, stupid human tricks/gamer talents: Can anyone get a d4 to spin? (2 hands) How many lead minis can you fit in your mouth? Can you snatch the last slice (pizza) while the DM is flat-footed?
#69 toastedamphibian Mar 28, 2009 15:51:50	Can you snatch the last slice (pizza) while the DM is flat-footed? dirtyfrank can't.
#70 dirtyfrank Mar 28, 2009 18:48:55	Can you snatch the last slice (pizza) while the DM is flat-footed? dirtyfrank can't. Well, I am the DM so it would be kind of tough to snatch something while I'm flat-footed and off my guard. I do however get payment in the form of food.
#71 Hocus-Smokus Mar 28, 2009 22:49:40	An ORC just took out your picture with exposed bewbiezzz. I'm not surprised. God forbid the human body be exposed. I hate the US fear of of the nude form. It's ridiculous.

I think our record of porn indulgence is proof of that. It's only the censors and powers that be who think it's somehow destructive.

It's only the censors and powers that be who think it's somehow destructive. It's the main reason we have a porn indulgence in the first place. Something as simple as a breast is seen as taboo, and people do so love to explore taboos. If nudity were as socially acceptible in the US as it was in other countries, it is very doubtful that we would even have a porn indulgence any more.
