Got any special traits most of the other NSer's probably don't have?

I'm not special.

Hmm...

Well, if you say to me pretty much any random word (that I can spell), I can instantly tell you how many letters it has within a second or so of you saying it.

I'm not special.

I would disagree, you are certainly one of the more identifiable and unique posters on NS.

I'm not special.
Your gay, aren't you?(read on the other thread. I'm NOT discriminate against gays, but thats a different thing.)(something that's different I mean)
I play guitar

That doesn't make me special in any way. There is nothing about me that is special.

I CAN STICK 14 DIMES UP MY NOSE! :p

i would have gotten more, but thats all I had.

Your gay, aren't you?

Oh, if that were special, I'd kill myself.

I eat pennies!!!!!!!!!

And play a mean guitar.

Oh, if that were special, I'd kill myself.

Sorry to bring that up, if for any reason you are offended, please telegram me an angry message.

I'm not offended at all. My point was that if gayness were special, it would make finding other gay men a real bitch. And, well, life would suck then.

Where'd you read about my sexuality, by the by?

The thread about the dude coming outta the closet. That's a tough situation. Glad I don't have to go through that. (I'm not gay)

I'm doing Naval ROTC at my college, and going Marine option. And for those of you curious I'm going to the school with the best reputation for putting out Military officers on the west coast.

The thread about the dude coming outta the closet.

Oh, well, it's nice that you got it from me than from someone else. I've seen people mention it in my absence, which is weird...

That's a tough situation. Glad I don't have to go through that.

"We all have our crosses to bear." Just that this isn't one for me. My situation isn't tougher than anyone else's.

(I'm not gay)

Aww. No need for compensation. People won't believe you're gay just because you're talking to me or have mentioned it.

Back on topic... I have to agree with Fass. I don't think of myself as special. There are many things about me that make me unique; make me stand out. I am not, however "special".
Unless you count special ed.

That is, unfortunatly, not true.

You mean, it rubs off of me? Cool!

Unless you count special ed.

Like "short bus" or something else? :confused:

I have a knuckle that brokeand set sideways. Also, I make fart noises with my eyesocket and can dissolve a cheese slice on my tongue.

You mean, it rubs off of me? Cool!Can I rub you then? For the sake of science; just to test it out, of course. :p
But seriously, some people assume that all gay people know each other, and have no straight friends. These are the same people who "don't know any gay people". I think it's funny when people feel the need to declare their non-gayness to the world too. They do, however, have reason to want to, if they care what other people think. Sad but true, some people will think that you're gay if you ever mention homoseuality in a non-derogatory way.

i have the ability to morph into a fluent german when i drink, (i only, when sober know a small amount of the german language) i think thats special, ooh and my mom tells me im special all the time

Like "short bus" or something else? :confused:I never took the bus to school, but basically, yes.
"Special education" in Canada is for kids who aren't like their classmates. I have ADD and am "gifted". I'm special.

*rubs a wee bit* Did it work? :D

I was just amused.

Wow, when I think I can't find more reasons to like you, you supply them! :fluffle:

Wow, when I think I can't find more reasons to like you, you supply them! :fluffle:yay
Now I really do feel special.

yay
Now I really do feel special.

Haha! Well, I guess me liking anyone here is sufficiently rare an occurence for you to claim that. :)

Well, let's see I'm 47 years old and listen to Tool, Ween and System Of A Down. I play the bass. I also am a wild cave explorer and surveyor, and am heavily involved in karst conservation.

If that doesn't make me unique, I have to wonder what would. :rolleyes:

I'm really freaking special...

i hear/see chairs move- no one in them, hear people talk when theres no one there ect.( i find it quite intertaining, scares the crap out of my friends)
and i ride/train horses
also iam dislexic
i guess thats all of my specialness

Psychiatrists don't even have a name for my disorder. I think that makes me unique.

I'm unique in my superhuman ability to be completely uninteresting.

agreed- maybe they will name what ever it is taht you have after you

I am an awesome shopper.

I can get just about anything I want discounted if not free. I can talk store managers into giving me just about anything I want. (discounts, free stuff, gift cards ect.)

My kids are two and four and I have only bought them about 5 outfits each, and yet they have a closet and a dresser full of clothes.

Yesterday I got about $60 in merchandise free.


tips: always ask for a discount, sometimes it is only 10% but in the long run that makes a huge difference

know the 'going rate' for something before you go shopping for it (for example I got walmart to knock $60 off a vacuum once because I knew the same model was $30 less at Target and $45 less at K mart.)

If you ever make a big purchase (appliance, electronics ect.) contact the company first and see if there are rebates available, just because they aren't advertised doesn't mean they aren't available and sometimes they have very specific terms so understand the rules before you buy ( I got a refrigerator that was worth $699 for $299 because I bought it on sale for $499 and then got an unadvertised rebate from maytag for $200)

I was born with my spine twisted fifteen degree. It’s still that way. Can’t really tell unless you look real close. It’s kind of weird, because I can turn my head really far to the right, but barely at all to the left.

Im special. Just like everyone else.

Um ... I'm probably the only person on NS who has killed two men in knife-fights. How's that for "unigue?"

Come now, with the way some people here act, I doubt you're the only murderer here. ;)

Heh! I know what you mean. However, it was during war so technicially it wasn't "murder." :p

Question: If everyone's special isn't that just a nice way of saying no-one is?

I have double jointed fingers (8, thumbs only have one knuckle)and can bend them using only the first...uh knuckly bit... :rolleyes:

I'm the only attorney I have ever met that has a nose ring. (And I wear it to court.)

what area of law do you practice?

Have nightmares about my service in the AFP/PAF. Not of combat but of the HORRIBLE food we had to eat. One time, the food was so old and rotten that it had covered the entire can with mold. Ick.

Some of us don't like to think back that far. :(

Admitedly a nose ringed lawyer is pretty special, but you should see my dad (60) he has ten different tattoo's, his ear pierced, belly button pierced and two piercings on his chest. His favourite band is slipknot and greenday. Now that is special :)

Oh, man! That can't be good for ya! :(

Eustrusca wins.

Ain't nuthin' but a thang, man. It don't mean nutthin'.

what area of law do you practice?

Primarly IP litigation and White Collar defense.

Eustrusca wins.
I hesitate to ask just what it is I "win." :confused:

I work as a flight instructor.

I'm crazy enough to get married in the winter (January 7), even though everyone knows weddings belong in June and July. :fluffle:

Unique? Me? Not if my plot continues unhindered! AHHHH HAHAHAHAHA!!!

WHat makes me unique?

That's actually a very tough question. I do a lot of oddball stuff ranging from the amusing to the downright insane. So to cram all my oddities into a single 'unique feature' is difficult.

After careful thought, I think that I am unique because I was apparently born without a sense of embarrassment.

Not as interesting as some others, but I can touch-type on a Dvorak keyboard.

Of course, I can almost only touch type; the keys have the wrong letters on. Especially at work, where it's a US-Dvorak layout on a UK-QWERTY keyboard. Alt-0163 is your friend...

Another unusual thing; I willingly walk two miles each way to/from work, most days. Some people think this makes me crazy. Yes, I can drive and have a car :p

it's not particulary unique but I can lick my nose.. you know you ladies want me... also, I suck at pool..

Um, I set myself on fire for my own amusement... does that count?

I try and apply Clausewitzian principles to my daily life. Look the guy up and work out if that makes me weird or not.

Oh, and I invented the Jacket Organised Integrated Narcotic Tactical Support system.

It's taken me 8.5 years to because a proper System Administrator. I spend most of my time being a programmer still.

i hate bees and wasps
i make wiki's

soo special

I'm not special, I'm just like you. I'm probably the only one just like you so I guess that makes me special ;)
