I will echo this. I'm very good at online shopping and finding the best product for the money.

I also know a lot about homebrewing, but would never consider myself an expert. There's way too much I don't know and things change frequently.

I'll throw myself in this category.

Some just call me a cheap bastard, I call it being smart.

Drinking.


But on a serious note, I'm now on my second internship (first was a coop I guess) where my primary function is doing CAD work, designing, and occasionally prototyping. I've become pretty proficient with Solidworks and AutoCAD

I am an expert on taste-testing ribs. So all of you need to get together, have a cookoff, and we can crown a winner. :)

I have an innate ability to remember where nearly every NBA player played college basketball. I also make incredible gaucamole.

I am an expert at making money and being very successful. In my head at least.

In all seriousness though, driving. I think I get it from my dad, but if we need to be somewhere and the trip is overnight, I usually get the keys. When we went to the Insight.com Bowl against MN, I drove from midnight to 8 AM there and back.

I have also become an expert at avoiding performing the most basic tasks of my job through the help of threads like this one.

Pub trivia. I forget big stuff (birthdays, anniversarys, etc...) with ease, but can remember the most useless information. Like did you know that the city of Tokyo used to be named Edo, and that there is a particular style of sushi that comes from that region?

I also never read textbooks, and never take notes. I just listen during class and can filter out the important stuff from the junk. I probably haven't even filled one regular notebook from HS all the way through college.

I'm an expert on crazy *******. It's like they seek me out to teach me their ways.

I think I may have found the common denominator here. Also, I'm a semi-expert at finding common denominators.

I consider myself pretty efficient at sports betting. Been doing it for 12 years. The last 4 seriously, having grossed a profit each of those 4 years. Still work full time because nothings promised. Could most certainly benefit from one of you guys teaching me how to use Excell. Pretty darn novice when it comes to that.


Also, pretty solid background when it comes to devouring a plate full of Hickory Park :)

I am expert on space travel. Since all my work is top secret, you will just have to take my word for it.

I've been told by several people I am a "connections" expert. Basically I don't forget people or where they are from/went to school/worked/etc. Then I connect whoever I am talking to with my 'database' in my head. Makes continuing a conversation with someone I've just been introduced to pretty easy.
I do however, frequently forget simple tasks my wife tells me to do.

Sold, for a percentage of profits of course.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but I feel like I know more than the average man when it comes to anything Baseball related.
