Everyone's got something they can do really, really well. Or, at least better than the average schmoe. For instance, I'm probably one of the top 15 snare drummers in Illinois, and great at Simpson's Trivia. What other experts do we have around here that knows or can do something not many other people can?

I have a knack for coming up with the most exciting and adventurous plans only to drop them in the final phases of development because my imagination runs faster than reality; however reality is a bitch in the last leg of the race, ain't it?

Aside from that, I'm decent at eating copious amounts of sushi that fill my belly but empty my wallet. [Once again, reality setting in.] Which reminds me, Dr Gee, I'm taking you to a REAL sushi bar and not Bamboo Hut... I think my stomach is still crying.

STFU. The fact that you haven't gone to the hospital yet means it wasn't THAT bad. And I enjoyed mine quite well. Not my fault you made the mistake of ordering traditional sashimi at a sushii place with mexican cooks. If the really hot waitresses were there you wouldn't have even noticed anyways.

I'll take you up on that offer though....in a few months.
