Hack Value

[Wolfeye589]

So we all have some kind of MA experience, but what other skills do you have? Doesn't matter what it is, or how useless it is in most situations. Just post some interesting skills you've picked up over the years aside from martial arts.

For instance:
1. I can pick locks
2. I can track large animals
3. I play can play guitar (and frequently do, acoutstic and electric)
4. I know how to make fires with only what you find outside (at least in the ozark region)
5. I can make a mean fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.

I know how big of egos people can have on martial arts forums, so post all your hack value skills here and talk about how awesome you are.

I'm pretty much good at everything.

I am awesome at everything

Aren't we all? I mean, I didn't even list my ability to talk to animals, alter the earth's rotation and make Chuck Norris cry. Surely you guys have some skills that stand out above and beyond the norm for the deluxe martial arts forum members...

[Wolfeye589]

as long as the animals aren't talking back, I don't see a problem

It helps if you take pills, but after that you find squirrels make good conversationalists...

I like all sorts of outdoor pursuits. I am pretty confident that you could drop me off anywhere in the world with nothing but the clothes on my back and I'd do well. Minimalist camping has been a hobby of mine since I was around 13, and I try to make sure I'm able to provide fire, tools, clean water, food, shelter, and a means of navigation and signalling with whatever is available.

I've got a pretty solid education on military skill sets.

I'm as comfortable driving a tractor and working a farm as I am wearing a 3-piece suit, choosing the right fork to eat with, and knowing which wine goes with what meal.

I can pack a mule, ride a horse, and pilot a small, single engine plane.

I've been known to be a fairly skilled interviewer.

I have an ability to write that slightly exceeds third grade level.

And I'm awesome in the sack.

See? That wasn't so hard. I always sucked at interviewing people, even though I was head writer in my journalism class (though that's not saying much considering where I went to school).

1. I've played the piano since i was 6 (go figure, stereotypical asian right?)
2. I kick ass at fighting games like Tekken and Super Smash Bros.
3. I kick ass at Texas Hold'em Poker
4. I have a huge appetite and need to eat just about every hour or I get hungry (on a side note, I once ate a 20oz steak with frenchfries and a baked potato with corn all in one sitting, winning my bet with my friend and forcing him to pay for my meal).
5. I've read all of Stephen King's books.
