What do you consider to be your talents? I'm a really good cook and I play 3 different musical instruments (not at once!)
Well, a few friends of mine once said I'm a good singer, but I've never really paid all too much attention to my singing...also, I seem to have the talent to do good on test and get school stuff pretty quickly without working all too hard for it...I'm going to have to change that when I go to university, though.
Hmmm maybe we can form a internet band. What sort of music are you in to? Maybe Stalin can play drums or something, I dunno if he knows how to play.
Can you not play them at once because you don't have six arms and are 20 feet tall or because you just haven't tried yet? If it's the latter, I'm just going to assume that you are 20 feet tall and have six arms. And that you can levitate, but that last one has nothing to do with the current conversation. I play guitar and bass (electric and double) decently and have on multiple occasions tried piano, drums, violin, saxophone and harmonica. I failed miserably each time. The one thing the internet is terrible at is positive reinforcement. Oh, and I play anything that's fun/interesting. I will say that I love me some bossa nova, jazz and pompous orchestral scores. As for hidden talents, I'll admit to being a decent singer (solo performances in the shower, mostly.) and I'll also allow myself a bit of self-promotion and say that I'm a good writer. I'm a decent mixer, too. (Is my humble showing? I think it is.) And I can remember obscure facts really well. I can't remember things that have anything to do with me, but the date attributed to the foundation of Realism with the arts is more important than someone's birthday, right? Right!?
Umm, I can create funny and witty commentary for everything in life. I also eat almost all my food with chopsticks. Other than that I don't really have any hidden talents besides I have an absurdly good memory, which is why I can do so well in school without much studying.
Humor! I totally forgot about that. Call me arrogant, but I do consider myself to be a pretty funny guy...no really, I am...please believe me?
I'll believe you, Unit. But only because you said 'please'. Do you also eat hamburgers with chopsticks? Color me impressed if you do.
I would also like to see Stalin eat a bowl of cream of chicken soup with chopsticks, if you can do it, you are officially my new God. I can play Guitar, Bass and Drums (but don't own a drum kit). So I think its entirely possible we could play something sometime. Maybe write Stalin a new theme song, and then Stalin can use his tallents of making funny comentaries to talk about the song!
I should be put a disclaimer, any food that is usually eaten with a fork I eat with chopsticks. I haven't tried eating cream of chicken soup with chopsticks, but I do eat my various noodle soups with chopsticks. There is an excellent Vietnamese noodle house in my town and whenever I go, I never use the spoon they give me. I go there so often that I am on a first name bases with the waitresses and they remarked to me on time that I am the only white guy that comes in and uses chopsticks over a spoon.
I eat ramen with chopsticks, I have an amazing recipe for this really delicious and filling fish ramen that I make all the time! I'll post it if anyone cares.
That does make more since than eating a hamburger with chopsticks. But does that extend to eating Italian-style spaghetti, too? I wouldn't expect you to eat meatballs with chopsticks, but I'm interested where the use of chopsticks ends. And Darkstorm, I always care if it's related to food. I'd love to add it to my repertoire.
I'll get you it as soon as I find my memory stick, I can't remeber the quantities off the top of my head
Brilliant. Look forward to eating fishy ramen... Er, ramen with fish. I wouldn't touch the fishy-looking ramen. :? I'm on a first-name basis with the guy who sells shoes and the guy who sells hats. I also know the ladies who operate a café near me, but that's just about where it ends. Do they know precisely what you're going to order? If they assume they know, do you then trip them up and say 'No, ma'am, I think I'll go with the chicken today,'? That's what I do. Also, does anyone ever get to a 'last-name' basis with waiters/waitresses? "Hello, Mr Witherspoon. I'd like the Pasta au Formaggio, please," or "No, go easy on the pepper this time, Mr Black. Thank you," don't seem entirely appropriate in a restaurant setting. At least not towards the waiters/waitresses. Maybe if they happen to be the parent of your friend or significant other, but where does the parent become the professional (if ever)?
Well I used to walk into a pub and say 'the usual' and they would pull me a pint of ice cold Guinness. Its not really the same but still... Still looking for my memory stick but I can write it all out if you dont mind me not having the right quantities.
We are talking about this right? Very interested if you're using that as a base for any sort of real meal lol
Yeah, its noodles with meat in a soup. Its a Japanese dish (I think it actually originated from China) and they eat it from bars on the street like fast food with chopsticks.
Ramen is just so associated with dorm rooms, and Oh crap I'm broke and I need to spend 10 dollars at costco and eat for the rest of the year to me.
It does have a air of student food around it, but I am qualified in cooking! And its my second favorite thing to make, after a good curry.
The only difference would if you responded with a "Thanks Mike," and he nodded casually from beyond the wooden barricade. No, I don't mind if you haven't the right quantities. I'll just experiment my way to the best combo. That's usually what my cooking boils down to anyway. That and sometimes a manly roar of "PEPPER!" as I grind the pepper. I wonder, perhaps you'd be interested in a chocolate mousse recipe? According to my grandfather, it's Portuguese.
