Just for fun: what's the strangest skill you've got?

:
Sheeeesh Jim!!!
You had me Really going for a minute!!
I was thinking,"There ain't NOooo WAaaay I am Posting THAT!!!
hehehe.

That's a great skill!
I had some friends in Florida that could throw those,but they "grew up" with them.
I was only 7 when we moved down there and one of my friends my age was weaving his own net!!
I was more interested in knives even then and never did learn how.Of course one of the reasons were that we wasn't at that particular place very long,about 5 months I think.

I can headbutt just about any surface repeatedly, sometimes from a running start, without sustaining any sort of injury. I hit lots of things with my head that I'd wouldn't want to hit with even a wrapped fist. I been practicing this off-n-on since I was twelve years old, first as misguided suicide attempts (demons talking in my mind and occupying my body, they wanted me to kill. Today looking back I thank them, what didn't kill me made me stronger. Before then, I had been the skinny kid in terrible shape, paid no attention whatsoever to training and conditioning my body. I began exercising with weights, machines, calisthenics, isometrics, stretches, and mental conditioning thinking about killing every day, I finally started turning my Mind-Body into a Weapon. A different path than Charles Atlas took, but the one that worked for me.) then as "do-it-yerself behavior modification therapy gone horribly wrong" (Some years later, I worked out at a gym where there were a lot of attractive women, and I wanted to condition myself to stop pestering them. So whenever I saw an attractive woman, instead of trying to strike up conversation I would slam my head repeatedly into a metal weight plate or some such. It went horribly wrong when I realized that I actually ENJOYED slamming my head into things as much or more than my lust for attractive women. I mean, I didn't get any kind of sexual high out of headbutting, I'm not some kind of deviant pervert. Well, I probably am many kinds of deviant pervert but just not that kind!!), finally now I am practicing my headbutting as the Extremely Dubious Ancient Jewish headbutt-based Martial Art of Barakodkod, which I learned from demon teachers, just as it was learned by the Bagatoor (Khazar Hunter-Warrior) in ancient times from the angels/demons encountered and fought on a Vision Quest.
 
Well, I'm gonna bend the rules just a tad. How about the wierdest combo of skills?

During my monthly drill, I'm a Field Artillery Officer (great stress relief, sending steel down range!) when not in uniform, I work in Total Quality and Six-Sigma methodologies at a well known Aerospace company who just completed a very high-profile merger. In my spare time, I restore and repair Nihon-to (esp. handle wraps.
Weird? I guess it's in the eye of the "beer"-holder!

Khazar kid:

Are you OK?

That may have been one of the most disturbing posts I ever read here.

Welcome to the asylum, anyway!

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm actually very happy. I was just going into some of my background here.

I read a post once that said an EDP has the advantage over any skilled blade artist in a knife-fight. As a former EDP, I don't think this true, I am flattered, but you definetely overestimate my "style". I KNOW that if I went against Snick with a navaja or Bram with a tactical folder, I WOULD get gutted. I still think real skills and styles are better.
 
Is your name Rich or Rolon Khazar kid??

oh - I can BS people pretty well. Unusual skill? I can stand outside in 2 feet of snow with sandles and pants rolled up to my kness and laugh at it for hours. It was a night people keep talking about as "impressive" because I'm pretty cold tolerant...
 
Well, it's not real strange, but I homebrew beer. Is it a skill? I guess you'd have to taste the brews first to decide...but most people like the stuff I do because I make 'em with higher alcohol content than regular store-bought stuff. Nut Brown Ale, Honey Lagers, and various stouts and porters are my favorites...

I think mine is that I am right handed and with the martial arts I fight (or used to fight) southpaw. I also write with both hands at the same time, but my left hand writes backwards.
 
Brian, glad to see that I am not the only homebrewer in the forum. I also do wine, mead and a few other fermentables.

Jay, I can do the same thing in JAPANESE! I agree not as good in English though. But if you make a try using both hands simultaneously, you'll find it easier than you thought. Just push your left pen when you push your right pen, and pull your left pen when you pull the right pen.

BTW, is there no one who has skill in khukuri twirling? I've got only one 20"AK sofar, hence have no idea how to twirl it...

Uncle,

I will send you the first part of the next batch which will be ready sometime just after the New Year, along with the $ I owe for the 20" AK! Be careful, one of these homebrews packs as much punch as three Heinies!!

No twirling of anything bigger than a 12" knife, okay? <grin>

Best,

Brian.
