Laser tag at my local laser quest. It's been open for 20 years, and I've gone undefeated for at least 10 years. I only play once or twice a year and can double the second place score of not more. Usually 30-40 people in match, mostly teenagers and adults, some children.

It is a totally useless thing to be exceptional at. Unfortunately nothing else is nearly that impressive. Sad I know.

Put me down for persistence and calmness under pressure typically. Fortunately these two qualities are freqently useful to me, and compensate for my plethora of character flaws and odious personal habits.

I meant to thank you for that sweater you knitted a couple years ago. All this time I thought it was ragg wool! :eek:

I'm good at visualizing three dimensions and mechanical things. I'm also good at putting things together that are not immediately obviously related.

I was a whiz at diagramming sentences in high school. Absolutely the best in my class. Talk about a worthless skill!;)

I have made approach avoidance into an art form.

Agoraphobia isn't easy to learn you know.

I have a "sixth sense" dealing with anything mechanical up to and including paper machines and boilers, including black liquor recovery boilers:).

It won't do any good asking him a direct question.:D

I would post my greatest talent except that then would be belittling all my other phenomenal abilities, so to be on the safe side, I'm going to say humility.

I am capable of looking at any piece of industrial machinery and understanding how it works within a few minutes. Same thing with appliances.

A true and priceless gift. For me, anything with more than two parts, I might's well be a fish looking at a bicycle.
