I can out-eat people twice my size (I'm 5'10", 135 lbs). Somewhat related is that I am somewhat decent at running. Not exceptional by any means, but above average. Of course, I have to work my ass off to be at this level, but that still counts, right?

Meh. Computer stuff/programming, I used be good at snowboarding but haven't gone in years, but I'm pretty good at drinking, being lazy, and sleeping.

Since I quit smoking, I can't even do that anymore. Always have to be doing something or else I might fall off the horse or just get really bored.

I agree with KLin. There has to be something. Like me, I just had to think harder at what I was good at.

Working at McDonalds.

Seriously, I'm amazing at it. I don't work there anymore, but if I did, I would be epic.

Dude, me too. I worked there all through high school back in the days when you cooked the food on real grills. No grilled chicken, breakfast burritos, snack wraps, cappucinos, blah, blah, blah. It was burgers, fries, nuggets and filet-o-fish. We made the salads and biscuits fresh every day by hand.

A lot of the things I learned there have stuck with me too. To this day I can cook an entire family dinner and at the moment the food hits the table, the kitchen is already cleaner than when I started.

lol. I give you guys a lot of credit. I've seen those guys bust some serious ass just so we can eat a burger 5 minutes faster.

computational fluid dynamics and the associated bits (solving PDEs numerically, numerical linear algebra, numerical methods in general, C programming, math). I'm fucking awesome at this stuff.

According to my friends I am pretty good at criticism and being a prick.

I'm okay musically; no virtuoso but I can play a handful of instruments. I think by nature of my job - and as such college education - in the science field I am pretty good at objectively breaking down tasks and analyzing problems. Sometimes I think I can get too overly analytical and concerned with specifics and details that may not really be relevant.

I think I am pretty good at making up recipes. As strange as it sounds I too think this stems from being a professional scientist - my laboratory career involved developing analytical methods which is really no different than developing recipes in the kitchen.

Im your typical jack of all trades. Anything that peaks my interests and I spend a little time on I get decently above average at and then it usually just ends up in my interest dropping off.

Highschool: soccer, lacrosse, physics, chemistry, girls, woodworking
Freshman year college: physics, math, computers, metal working/welding
Sophomore year college: same + electrical wiring
Junior year college: management, finance, math, law
Senior year college: management, finance, marketing, law
Now: management, marketing, law, video games, working out, somewhat finance but its starting to drop off, real estate
