I have an annoyingly good memory. So good, in fact, that my wife is always accusing me of making things up. (And I’m not. I’m also very truthful.)
I have excellent vision.
I am one of the top five programmers that I know.

I excel in the English language just ask any doper.
Seriously,
I am good at wakeboarding
guitar
causing trouble with controversy
lawyer jokes
I am great at sex(now if I can just convince my wife of that.)
procrastination
Connect Four. I can’t play chess, checkers or Mancala, or any other games of strategy, but I will kick your ass at Connect Four.
I am a very good liar. I had a teacher in high school convinced that I had to miss her class every day because of a brain tumor. She wasn’t the most together person in the world, though.
I’m a speller extraordinaire. Punctuation, mechanics and grammar are up there.
I make very good twice-baked potatoes.
I can fit more newspapers in a paper grocery bag for recycling than anyone else I know. Other people can look at a full bag of newspapers and tell me to get an empty bag if I need more room, but I can usually fit another entire Sunday paper in the full bag!
Great talent, eh? :rolleyes:
I do a killer cover letter (I’ve had folks get interviews 2 days after faxing 'em).
I’m pretty damned good at dealing with wide variety of ex offenders (including some who had emotional problems, and other issues).
I’m a creative parent
I’ve got a wide variety of writing skills (short story, humorous, letters, proposals etc.).
I keep my cool in an emergency (we had a fire at the half way house, I got everyone out despite the emergency door not working properly for example), even got praised for a dispassionate report on an incident where a client attacked me physically.
I’ve got a tremendous memory (comes in handy for trivia games and on the witness stand).
I used to give world class back rubs (back before arthritus struck my hands )
I can do a more complete history and physical than most of the people in my class in half the time. I really don’t know what takes them so long. I think a lot of it is that I listen closely so I don’t ask the same questions over and over, and that I have the actual physical exam down to a smooth routine.
I’m a good poker player, although I wish I had the funding to play more often at the casinos. I’m also a good card magician, given the amount of time I’ve been seriously studying the art–I wouldn’t say that I “excel” right now, but I think I could someday.

I’m very good at mental arithmetic. Which isn’t really that much use to a grad student, except for marking exams and shamelessly showing off to the first-year students.
I know far too much Monty Python trivia. In fact, I think I watched far too much Monty Python as a child. (Born in Canada, raised in Canada, but somehow I have a British accent…)
I’m a middling-fair C++ programmer.
I’m also good at spatial visualization, particularly stuff that has more than the usual number of dimensions. Not the most practical skill in the world, but I find uses for it.
math geek, add the numbers sequentially from 1 to a million up (1+2+3…), what do you get?
Im great at speaking really loud. I can’t hear myself talk anymore. The other day in the restaurant the waitress signed to me, ‘we are talking about what I do’ I said, what did you say to them, she signed ‘all day I fuck’, I said, 'you know Patty, you said, all day I fuck" (fuck gets confused with the sign for ‘work’ a lot). All of a sudden the place got really quiet everyone stood still & then I realized I must have spoken a little too loud Ever notice places get quiet when people talk about sex & you can hear them?
i can ride my bike through city traffic with enough agility and confidence that even messengers think i’m a messenger.
i can type really fast. no idea how fast, exactly, but i’ve had people say either “wow, you’re the fastest typist i’ve ever seen” or, “wow, you’re the first person i’ve met that types as fast as i do.” it’s the product of years of irc trivia.
i’m really good at irc trivia.
i can spend a week at work, and get paid for a week of work, without doing a minute of work.
500,000,500,000. And yes, I did do that in my head. (Thank you, Karl Gauss )
I make really excellent tie-dyed shirts. Strangers have stopped my husband to ask him where he bought his.
I bake a wonderful apple pie.
I am the fastest two-fingered typer I know. I type faster than most normal-typing folks.
I can do things repeatedly very fast, like math or counterstrike:)
I naturally kick everyones ass at any game I start.
Im good at psychology and can read 3 pages a minute of huge small lettered pages on books.
I know a guy who can type a letter 12 times in a second, I can type a about 1 time a second:)
Getting into debt.
Procrastinating.
Laying on the couch.
When I was a kid I was classified as Highly Gifted (155 IQ+) . I absorb things like a sponge and now have a tested IQ of 192.
I can learn any computer language (enough get around while still having to look up syntax for esoteric functions) in less than a day.
Now if I have such a superior intellect, why can’t I write worth a damn or apply it into anything that will make me some money?

Writing. It is by and far the best thing I do.
Everyone who has ever watched me type is in awe of how fast I can type. ( I think they are slow readers, personally. You know the old saying: Soar with Eagles…work(ed) with turkeys.)
Making people laugh. ( The second best thing I do, but since I don’t have time anymore to write, it is numero uno.)
Guessing celebrity voices on tv commericals.
Accents (German,brit and Indian are my best ones)
Smells and hearing. Nick name at home is Bat and Bloodhound.
Speling and gramer
I am a virtual compendeum of useless knowledge.
I travel light. I should get a Noble Prize for this alone!
I am very good with children ( put not overly enthusiastic in an annoyingly perky kind of way.)
When everyone else is trying to figure out how to get the stuck semi truck out from the high way overpass that it is wedged under, I’m the eight year old kid who says, " Just let the air out of the tires." Only, I’d say, " Are you all brain dead or what?" I’ve always taken a different look at how to do things. If there is an easier way/cheaper way to do something, I will find it fast. (Ask husband for verification, it drives him nuts.)
I do not panic in crisis situations.
I assume you are kidding since this is one of those questions that on the surface appears to be tough while in reality being extremely simple. Anyway, I’ll bite:
1.000.000 (1+1.000.000) / 2 = 500.000.500.000 or 500 billion 500 thousand.
What do I excel at?
Yoda or Yogurt? A dilemma for the ages.
Clearly I should have read the previous posts. At least I excel at something: “read and post”, that is, read a post, reply to it, and only then taking the time to check out the WHOLE thread to see if there were any previous replies that would have made mine obsolete. :rolleyes:
I excelled at always being a real true person; which is being truly myself:)
