I can out humble any motherfucker in this room...

Everyone has a talent, a hobby, a passion... Something that makes them fucking awesome.

What can you do that's just totally bitchin' and makes you someone other than just another nerd? Can you balance three spoons on your face at the same time? I want to hear about it! Can you juggle while playing "My Fair Lady" on the Kazoo? Pony up and show us. Or maybe you make short films or music? Post a youtube link! Can you beat Megaman 1 without dying? Fuck off, you lying sack of shit.

This thread is for telling us all how fucking amazing you are. Even if it's something simple like "I have a really weird way of eating a banana that is more efficient than how most people do it." That's enough! What do you do that's just weird, unique, and all around rad?

Due to the personal nature of these posts, I'm going to ask for a modicum of civility. Y'all can be (and are) dicks to each other all over this forum. I'd rather not have people with weird talents/skills scared off because of fear that their bottle cap collection is going to get laughed at. This is a thread for telling us what makes you special, not for showing us how good you are at insulting other people (it's not that hard, really).

I'll start with myself (spoilered so it doesn't override the OP).
As many of you know, I do this little thing called "Poi." It is, basically, dancing with two fire-balls. It's really fucking fun and only a little dangerous (read: do not fucking try this without the help of someone who knows what the fuck they're doing).

I've been spinning poi (dancing with them) for about 7 or so years now. I've taken a break over the past year and a half, however, due to my other hobby; Martial Arts. I've recently picked poi back up and though I'm a tad rusty I can still spin the shit out of them (ask Rankenphile). It's good times.

Here are some (really old) pictures of me spinning. Unfortunately, I don't have any video to share with you, so these will have to do. Still pictures don't really do justice to how I dance (again, ask Rankenphile), but they'll have to do.

Poi doesn't even need to involve fire. Here is a photograph of me spinning my non-flammable practice poi:

    It's true, Callius loves poi so much that's what his avatar is, and has been as long as I can remember at least.

    and you thought it was a dragon, didn't you?

    I'm super good at... my job.

    Problem solving files that are made at home by people who don't understand the printing process and turning them into professional-looking documents and getting them set up for a printing press in either spot colour or process.

    A style of Karate known as Uechi-Ryu and then a style of Kung-Fu known as Feng-Shen-Do

    I do a radio show, and next year I have plans to be doing TWO radio shows.

    Basically, I have an awesome voice, and I'm looking to use and abuse it as much as I can. Right now I am getting tons of requests to record myself reading various things (Seuss, Poe, etc.) and I'm just figuring out how I can try to monetize that, without infringing any copyrights, of course.
