I thought of another talent and I'm sure several Ledgies would agree...

Annoying people.

The Malibooz Christmas ornament? Why would that annoy me?

Damn.

Your post in the other thread isn't the first comment you've made in reference to my siggy... so I figured maybe you didn't like... er... whimsical music.

Nah, it's just that instead of a generic "put on another record," I thought it was cuter to name a band that I know for a fact that you like.

I love whimsical music... for example, Todd Rundgren's "An Elpee's Worth Of Toons" is one of my all-time favorite songs (and I'm still convinced that that song, and that album, influenced L.B. more than punk music did).

Ah... I get it now.

If I ever figure out how to use Frontpage and decide on a color/graphics scheme, I'm supposed to take over their official website.

Have played around with it a little, but I'm pretty much computer illiterate and haven't liked anything I've done so far.

Ahh, now this is more like it.

I can....

- dance pretty good. Dance was required in our drama department in high school, 'cause the teacher wanted us to be "triple threats" (although I never got the hang of the singing part)

- whip you at "Mortal Kombat". It's not much of anything to brag about, but I used to spend time perfecting the fatalities when I had nothing better to do

- play the synth/keyboards, to a fault. I've only managed to perfect the opening chords to "Seven Wonders" and Van Halen's "Jump", but it's a start.

- stay up for hours on end. Insomnia runs in the family.

- quote "Golden Girls" dialogue at will. I can't count how many times I'll be talking to someone and go "Oh that reminds me of this one episode, where Dorothy says..."

- remember really pointless facts, such as what I had for dinner on some night in 1993.

- play badminton, kinda. I suck when I first start out, but once I warm up I get pretty good at it.

- recognize just about any song after just a few bars... what can I say? I'm an audiophile.

- multi-task pretty good.

- kick some ass at Trivial Pursuit (this goes back to the "remembering random pointless facts" thing)

You just made me laugh pretty damn hard, my friend. Thanks!


BTW - people mentioning movies reminded me that I can recite Goodfellas line for line. I can also give a painless injection (or so I'm told.)

I can do this with any Seinfeld or Golden Girls episode .

And Jannie, I too can sing the States song! I can't believe I STILL remember that after all these years.

I can also play the keyboard, sing, speak Swedish, read Swedish, Old Norse, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, and a little Portuguese.

I can also play a mean game of Twister
