10. I can make balloon animals.
No, I've never been a clown. I watched someone make some for my kids at a fair, and thought "I can do that". So, I ordered some balloons and went to a website that had instructions, and taught myself. It turns out I'm pretty good at it.

16. I can walk on the tips of my toes.
There really isn't a call for that skill- unless you're auditioning to play "Rose" in the film Titanic.

20. Resume

I don't have one. :shrug: However I do have plenty of skills that weren't mentioned when I had one.

I'll be gentle with our new mods. I am a boat captain. The last boat I brought north from Key West was a 66 foot, steel hull, twin diesel engine sport-fishing boat. :)

35. It was a well paying job. Personally, I prefer rag-boats. : )

My last boat was a tanbark gaff rigged Beedle Cat. The boat was an antique, one of the first fiberglass (tupperware) boats produced by John Beedle. SWEET. It was a rental on Block Island at one time. The original sail had been replaced with an over-sized one. The Tara Belle and I sailed the waters of Raritan Bay, out into the upper New York Bay and under the Verrizano Bridge. I will say SHIPS ARE HUGE when you're looking up from the waterline.

23. All of them, since I have no resume.
The foremost being, of course, falling asleep with gum in my mouth and losing it.

42. Me too, since 1965: Whan that Aprille with his shoures soghte
The droght of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyn with swich liquor
Of which vertue engendred is the flour,
When Zephyrus eke with his sweete breethe
Inspired hath in every holt and heethe
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe course yronne
And smalle foules maken melodye
That slepeth all the nicht with open eye
So priketh hem nature in hir courages
And longen folk to goon on pilgrimages...

45. And palmeres for to seeken stronge strondes...
To ferne halwes kowth in sondre londes.
And specially to every shires ende
Of Engelond to Canterbury they wende
The holy blissful martyr they were seke
That hem hath holpen whan that they seeke.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (bows)

37. A couple of "small" ones:
I can write with both hands, both backwards and forwards.

I have a superb memory for TV actors, and can identify an obscure actor usually within a minute, after hearing his/her voice and seeing them within that time frame. Trivial, I know, but I can also do it for a lot of producers and directors as well, and as proven before in this very forum, TV shows as well, regardless of how few episodes were made. :)

I can hear a song once and play it back from memory.

A useful skill at parties or bonfires, but not in IT.
