What’s the one thing that, if the world were to ask for it, you could be the best representation of?
It could be something as weak as “I know everything there is to know about Guy Gardner” to something grand like “I can spit further than anyone in the world!”
Another way of asking this is, what are you (be honest now,) an expert at?
I can make a four layer cake that is completely yummy, and is decorated with a gridiron on top. Each tier is decorated with rows of cookies, each cookie features the logo of an NFL team, executed carefully in royal icing, in the order in which the franchise was founded. Teams that have won the Superbowl have the year(s) of their victory under their logo.
I am the love child of John Madden and Martha Stewart.
That I am no better than anyone else at anything they will ever try to do. That is my gift. I am the un-prodigy. I boost people’s self esteem (at least I am not THAT loser). I am not amazingly good at everything. You could call me the Jack of all not-particularly-useful-Trades.
I can name every Kentucky Derby winner, in sequence, from 1970 to present. I used to know 1960 to current, but I’m a bit rusty. I probably could re-learn them fairly quickly. I also can give details on each horse, from pedigree to trainer to winning time to who was second to jockey etc–just not all of those on every horse. I’m not that nerdy.
Being a non-Derby fan who lives in Louisville, I’m not sure this is something to brag about. But, if you ever come down to the Derby in person, I’ll have someone to flirt with.
