I play both, I'm in a 9ball league on Tuesdays and an 8ball APA league on Thursdays. I'm a 6 in both.

Dude really? So am I. Same rank too. That's really cool. It's good to know they have leagues up there- hopefully around auburn hills mi since I'm moving there last week of June. It would be something to do

I guess to add to this list, I have always been pretty good at sports, I can pick up any sport pretty fast and be pretty good at it. Anything I tried out for in HS I made pretty easily, especially volleyball, I played varsity for 3 years in HS, club and the Marine corps team. I love to play sports but I don't watch any.

3043 supply, but I volunteered for everything, even tho the rule is not too lmao. I did machine gunners school 3 times, had my class record for disassembling and assembling the .50 cal. I did the HUMVEE course, I was in Ground security forces, and while I was in Iraq I was in Security Platoon. I did 7 years and got out, great experience but it changed from when I first enlisted.

Wow... I think I have to tip my hat to those that served. Thanks guys...

As for my talents...

1. I am good at being an asshole.
2. I excel at being a grammar snob.

Watch me combine them:

I can pick up a video game and be pretty good VERY quickly, although I generally lack the determination or care to try getting much better.

For instance, if a friend and I would get a new game that neither of us had play, I would probably dominate the first few times we'd play it, but if he started practicing (and I wouldn't), he'd probably eventually be better.

I've "guided" people up some pacific north west volcanoes.... I climb frozen waterfalls ( I enjoy climbing in general, really).... I discovered I can cook pretty darn good too.

My stupid hidden talent would be belching on command.
