What thing do you do absolutely better than anyone else you know?

Tequila shots!
But then you knew that!

Forget things. My capacity for absent-mindedness is... um...

Tryphena Absent

11:51 / 07.11.03

Tell people when I think they're being stupid/doing something wrong. I don't pull my punches, especially for people I like or respect but I try to be vaguely nice about it. Oh and I'm an apathetic conservatives nightmare.

I also think I'd be fantastic in an electroclash group. I'd howl and move my arms around, it looks like the easiest thing in the world and wow, what a test for the imagination. My first song would be entitled 'The best place in the office is the Stationery Cupboard.'

I'm great at thinking up band names for other people. For instance - Anna de L: your electroclash group should be called Staff Discount. See?

Morlock - groupie for hire

When I raise my eyebrows, my whole scalp slides forward by a centimeter or so. No-one I know comes close, so I'm dead chuffed.

Cat Chant

16:12 / 07.11.03

Play Minesweeper (I can do the expert-level game in 99 seconds).

16:23 / 07.11.03

naked wrestling.

pointless and uncalled for

17:02 / 07.11.03

I'm sorry bitchiekittie but I just don't believe you, I need a demonstration.

In the mean time I lay claim to dead-pan, film style, popcultural reference littered scathing sarcasm.

Explain the cosmic meaning behind very song ever performed by The Cars.

I am also the best at moving in stereo.

Pancakes.

Adding up a till-float wrongly with such regularity. Today, it came to £81.18 over. I really am the best at getting it wrong.

- Panic, shout, calm down and apologise in the space of about three minutes.

- Get fired. I just can't hold a good job down!!! Another one bites the dust today - scooooore!

Fine-tune Xoc's nipples.

Captain Zoom

23:35 / 10.11.03

In my particular group of friends, I know music and comics like no other fucker.

In the whole world, I am the best possible father for my son. I aspire to be the best possible husband for my wife.

I'm pretty goddamned good at oral sex too, and I have the testaments to prove it.

Zoom.

No star here laces

06:45 / 11.11.03

I'm pretty gosh-darned good at being in awe of zoom's accomplishments...

I procrastinate, ergo I subsist.

Saveloy

11:40 / 11.11.03

I'm very good at having no anecdotes whatsoever. I have none of the stories about being chased by the police, having sex with your best friend's parents, having a spiritual awakening at a rave etc that are Standard Issue for everyone else. In fact I reckon it's a pretty safe bet that I have done fewer interesting things and had fewer interesting things happen to me than any other free person in the Western world (ie excluding those suffering long-term incarceration). This isn't a whinge, just an observation - my singularly uneventful life, and complete lack of interest in making it eventful is probably what makes me me. That said, it does make conversation f---ing difficult at times.

Tryphena Absent

11:45 / 11.11.03

And you can't name bands either. We're going to be called the Mystery Jets (after a Kings Cross gang of snivelling teenagers I think. They could be like, a basketball team or something. No one happens to know what the Mystery Jets are do they?)

Olulabelle

11:56 / 11.11.03

I was going to write 'I'm the best at having no self-esteem,' but then I thought about it and decided that even that isn't true, so then I got to thinking that perhaps I don't even have enough self-esteem to think that I'm the best at having no self-esteem.

Which is weird.

So I think maybe I'm very good at being mediocre.

Bear

I can tell you that you'll probably end up watching West World on BBC1 tonight.

I can also see your soul.

Tryphena Sparks:

"And you can't name bands either. We're going to be called the Mystery Jets"

Well! I didn't say I could name bands, did I? I said I was good at thinking band names up. It's not my fault if the people I make them up for are too foolish to use them, instead of their own, inferior names. Honestly, I'm wasted on you lot, pearls before swine etc etc.

Okay, how about.... Inside Leg? Customer Announcement? Quality Seconds? Price Gun?

Quantum

14:22 / 11.11.03

Ooh Bear! What does my soul look like?

If I had a band I'd call them Myocyclonic Jerk (which means the little jump you experience as you're falling asleep and get that feeling of falling and wake up with a start)

Quantum

14:24 / 11.11.03

dammit, according to Google somebody named Miss Murgatroid already has an album called Myocyclonic Melodies.

Bear

14:27 / 11.11.03

Everyones soul looks like the clockwork cogs, the kind you might see inside a watch and they float just about your head, someone told me that it was actually someones aura I could see which would make more snese but soul sounds much more dramatic..

Quantum yours is a quite dark purple colour with light red running through it - unforunatly I don't know what that means about you - how about - "Your very creative, you didn't have lots of friends at school but the ones you did have were very close to you and really understood you, you also have a small scar on your left knee"

Quantum

14:28 / 11.11.03

Seems you can also use 'Myoclonic', there's a softball team called Myoclonic Jerk in the US and a slew of medical references to myoclonic epilepsy.
Why am I telling you this, filling your brain with trivia? It's what makes me me, and I do it better than anyone else

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

14:29 / 11.11.03

Gingerbop...you make pancakes better than anyone?

*swoons*

When I was a kid and my parents would ask where I wanted my birthday supper, I would inevitably say that I wanted to have it at the International House of Pancakes, back when they were in the big A-Frame buildings with blue roofs. Not like now, where they are a downscale Perkins. :P

And Capt. Zoom, you and I should have a trivia contest on old comics, since I have discovered I know WAY too much about pre-code horror and 50's Atlas comics.

Quantum

14:30 / 11.11.03

Fuck! That's uncanny! How did you know about my scar? Have you been watching me shower?
You should be a fortune teller, Bear.

Saint Keggers

14:34 / 11.11.03

I make the worlds best Kraft Dinner.

Bear

14:54 / 11.11.03

I have cameras in all your showers, everyone should keep their eyes open for my DVD out in time for Christmas "Barbeloids in the Showers" - filled with special features and deleted scenes.

I know quite a lot about wrestling.

Bear

15:18 / 11.11.03

Where did everyone go, don't worry about the DVD I'm going to digitally attach Brian Blesseds face to all of the "stars"...

Jack Vincennes

15:23 / 11.11.03

I was just wondering if this was as a Christmas marketing ploy to tie in with your popular 'Barbeloids At Home' TV series -the ideal present for those who just aren't satisfied with what can be shown on television.

Also - how about Brian Blessesd's face with the relevent screen name printed across their forehead? Think about it. It might work.
