I can back a farm tractor with a trailer – either single-axle fixed or two-axle articulated – into position generally in one shot.

I haven’t had to do this in a very long time, now that I think about it.

And to the guy who claimed to learn to type one-handed while playing Diablo – You expect us to actually believe that? WE know how you learned to type one-handed…

I can get first place on almost any Galaga arcade machine that hasn’t been played by the ultra experts. Its like a zen thing of total concentration on all the ships and blasts.

I used to play it a couple hours a day on a commodore 128 when I was young. I’m not good at pacman or any other games of that era though.
