Title: What are you best in World at?
Post by: Lefty on May 17, 2012, 12:10:46 PM
I'm probably the best TV remote control user in the World. Several of my friends and people who I don't even know have told me I'm the best they've ever seen. Commercial breaks don't phase me because I have an uncanny ability to know when to switch channels.

What are you guys the best at?

It's hard to explain.  I'm really good at catching things that unexpectedly fall.  A little like Spider Man, except better.

For example, in my shower at home, there's a bar about 6 and a quarter feet high that I keep shampoo, body wash, etc on.  Because it's in the shower and it's a really slick surface, the stuff regularly falls.  I catch it every time though.  Once I caught it while I wasn't even looking at the bar.   Facing forward, put my arm behind me, and caught an object I couldn't have known was falling.

Pre-looking it up, I'm guessing 42.

Looking it up: 39.

I will adjust my knowledge to Kevin Johnson based trivia

I also probably make the best PB & J in the world.

only 3, but i go for amount of pizza.

always order 1 large mushroom & large order of cheese sticks. eat one piece of the pizza, than the pepper, and THAN all of the cheese sticks than back to the pizza. usually eat it all minus 2-3 pieces of pizza in that initial setting.

Sorry, You're the 2nd best at this.

One time while sleeping in a camper, my 3 year old son was sleeping in a bed on the opposite side of the isle (I was on the "futon" & he was on the breakfast table converted into bed)  In the middle of the night, while we were both stone cold asleep, he rolled off the bed and I woke up & caught him before he hit the ground.     

Wife was all:  :horrorsurprise:

In my youth I resolved to be damn good at several things since there was always another jerk better at whatever.  I prided myself on this.  So you can run super fast,  :thumbs: for you, but can you draw this badass sorcerer god fighting 3 hydras, or play this bitchin drum solo at regionals or throw this nerf ball over that tree or hey look at my hands as they jauntily play this piano concerto number eff you. Then I read in the newspaper that there was this dude who could do everything I could, and way better.  I immediately sought to destroy him but he was actually pretty ugly.  [whew]

I'm the best person I know at walking through crowds while leaving sporting events. I don't know how and please don't ask me how I can do this, but I can read people's moves before they actually move. I always envision myself as David Allen returning a punt as I leave football or basketball games. It's like everyone is in slow motion.

Shooting things like basketballs into things like baskets. I always shoot things into the trash from across the room. It progressed into shooting things into people's cups from across the table, then from across the room (only when they were empty, because I'm not a dick like that). Now I'm getting pretty good at shoothing things from behind my back. Recently mastered throwing things into the trash can from across the room from behind my back.
