Revision as of 18:26, October 27, 2005

Can you do something that other people find useful, entertaining, or impressive? Don't hide it under a bushel! Instead, post here. Put your proficiency in parentheses.


Automotive Skills

Drive Stick Shift

Evan Miller (maniacally)

Daniel Rooney (erratically)

Brendan Dougherty (smooth as shit out of a duck's ass)

Joe Shoer '06 (proficiently)

Katie Montgomery (could drive anything from a '82 Toyota Tercel to a forklift, or so she believes)

Jessica Chung (I learned in a week.)

Samantha Peterson (automatics are for women)

Janey Waney Lee (She doesn't even need to say anything.)

Change a Tire

David Rodriguez '06 has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, that wheel will pop right off.

Jumpstart a Car

David Rodriguez '06 has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black. If you do, you will blow the battery fuse in your fusebox and burn out some expensive component in your car. Through his learning processes, he found just how costly it is to replace the stock amp that powers your stereo.


Oral Skills

I can blow free-floating saliva bubbles

Brendan Dougherty

I can curl my tongue into a W

Evan Miller

Manual Skills

I can snap my fingers by flipping my wrist

Evan Miller (right hand only)

I can pull my fingers back to touch the back of my hand

Kai Steverson (competent) Evan Miller (wizardly)

Daniel Rooney (disgusting)

Mathematica

Daniel Klein (is too a real language)

Feats of Strength

Object Tricks

Foreign Languages

Foreign Object Tricks
