Not about DG, but what skills, useful or otherwise are you aware of other Languishites having?
Do we have enough together to build a RL 'community'? :hmm:
Clearly people like 11B4V have a lot of useful skills and knowledge, our various high powered law-talkers can persuade a paraplegic donkey to walk again and Capt. Mal. has unusually 'developed' narcotic skills, but what about the rest of us?
edit:
I should add, I've reached the age were I now know I'm useless at the vast majority of things. :bowler:
As far as I can tell I have no discernible talents or marketable skills.
I can heat food.

Yes, it is incredibly skillful to keep a rebuilt Dodge transmission spread out in the garage for 4 years. :P

You have mad skills.
I have marketable skills. :)

Cattle market or general livestocks sales?

I am a published nuclear physicist. Do I deserve this?
I can use a microwave (reheat only). I know how to refuel a car (but not how to change the oil).
AmScip can cook.
I think that several of us can cook. To build a RL community, that would be a very useful thing, though its utility would be increased if any of us could farm or hunt worth a dang. I think that some of us do do some hunting, but I have no idea if any of us are actually good at it. And AFAIK, we don't have any farmers. (I think someone (PDH?) once mentioned something about helping with his father's farm, but I figured he meant he was going to do the bookkeeping or somesuch, not actually grow food,
Am I the best distance runner, at least right now and among active participants?
There is good competition for best cyclist. Maladict? PDH? Mongers?
Even though I'm not so experienced and generally suck, am I the best mountain climber? Or does Zanza have me beat? :ph34r:
There are a few accountants. We could have an accounting-off to determine the best accountant, but that might drive some of our less stable posters to suicide.
The best lawyer has even more competition. So does the best gay.
Some things are easy to identify who is best. Meri is the best mom. Brazen the best journalist. PDH the best college instructor. Katmai the best cameraman. Brain the best nuclear physicist.
:hmm: Who's the best actuary?

I think you are the only one here, so there is a strong case it is you.
HOWEVER, I passed the first two exams. My pass rate on actuarial exams is 2/2, 100%. What is your pass rate? :P :P :P
ZING

I for one, wouldn't want to live within a hundred miles of you people.

Oh, I don't know, it's been a long time since I really, really hurt someone.
My skills are mimicry, some technical abilities in music, good knowledge of computers (parts as well as using them), and being a persistent asshole- which is actually a professional skill in my line of work.

At least we know you're the one wearing the pants in the family, as any other man would've been forced by the Missus to clean it all up by now. :P
I'm the best one on languish at putting people in gaol.
That may be very useful if Ide joins our community.

yeah I've done plumbing, carpentry and wired a house before. Not sure how my work experience skills would relate to any dysfunctional group this ragtag misfits would be.
