1.I memorized every player in the NBA at one time (700 plus), you could still today put all the nba players photos on a sheet of paper and I could get at least 95-98 percent correct.

I once recited to myself all the dialogue from Terminator 2. I couldn't sleep on the night before my first day at middle school so I recited all the dialogue to myself. This was back in 1992. I can't begin to tell you how many times I watched that movie in just that year alone.

I can see what you did there.

In all seriousness I can't think of a talent at the moment. Sad

No handle bars? No handle bars.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

I can memorize, and recite, Shakespeare at the drop of a hat. I know most of the more famous speeches/exchanges backwards and forwards, and many of the not so famous ones. When I get bored, I memorize a new one--usually inside of half an hour. Coming from someone who is so bad at math I haven't ever been able to memorize my times tables (still true--and its not for lack of trying), this continues to amaze me.

Like IceWarm, I tend to recite it to myself when I can't sleep, or when I'm nervous. Really seems to help.

I have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of metal and rock, especially Metallica and Pantera (I can pretty much recite their entire history/discography/lineup changes on the drop of a hat.)
I can also memorize movie lines and stage lines pretty good, which really came in handy when I was an actor.
I am also pretty flexible for a dude, being able to put both legs behind my head and do the splits (only one way, where you can touch your knee to your head, not where your legs stick out from the side.) Here's me at about 15 doing the legs behind head:

I got the music trivia thing probably better than enshin, though my knowledge pertains mostly to hard rock, not metal like him.

I'm SO effing organized and plan everything out that it can be considered a talent. I have a timeline for my entire musical career planned out, including titles, covers, track orders, stage setups, tour dates, setlists, and of course the songs themselves. Oh, and release dates. You should see my notebook, it's an autobiography of shit that hasn't happened yet.

Staring contests. I'm an unbeatable champion. It's because I practice on cats. If you can stare down a cat, you can beat any human at a staring contest.

Hmm, I too can recite Shakespeare, and usually when I'm nervous. I also tend to speak better publicly when I am extremely pissed off and or bitter about something. Yeah, I know.

Excellent! A fellow Bardophile. As for the speaking, that makes perfect sense. When you're pissed or bitter, you're usually so focused on those emotions you don't have time to be nervous--which is the cause of most sucky public speaking. Very cool. Smile
