    hmmm...let's see...
    -I can crack my ankles over and over and over
    -my reflexes are still super fast when it comes to falling objects
    -I can drink a lot of beer, get drunk, and no one notices that I'm drunk. Though maybe that's more indicative of a problem than a pointless talent.
    -I don't need directions home from anywhere, ever.

    I'm really good at eyebrow-plucking.

    Not pointless at all. Get thee up here and help me man-groom so I can get away from trial and error.

    There may be those individuals who would insist on videographic evidence. :cool:

    I can catch almost anything thrown to me or at me. Frequently without even looking directly at the object or its point of origin.
    I can twist and roll over in bed without disturbing the covers. Blows my wife's mind.
    I can scratch an itch on any spot on my back. Also blows my wife's mind. Annoys the shit out of her, too.

    There is an arcade game in Panama City Beach, Florida that I should be banned from playing, because I can't lose. I don't know what the game is actually called, but Grancey and I call it "Clowney." Basically, you try to drop a ball into a revolving set of lights while weird circus music plays. If you hit the sweet spot, it shoots out 50 tickets that can be redeemed for worthless plastic crap. I learned how to time the ball-drop to coincide with a particular note in a particular phrase of the weird circus music, and I'm a winner every time.

    Memorizing nomenclature/statistics for small arms. At first it was just a hobby, then it became a potential job, then it went back to being just a hobby.

    Seriously, point out a gun--any gun--and I've probably got a Pop-Up Video story associated with it. Gets even more amusing when I'm a little drunk.

    "Fuckin' M4A1. We've already had a M4A1. You can't use the same nomenclature. Fuck, did those geniuses at Colt run out of numbers and letters?"

    "When the hell are they gonna realize that sidearms aren't just superfluous belt candy? Had a kid carrying a M240B and a carbine. It was ridiculous."

    I forgot about this talent - instantly figuring sale prices in my head. Whenever Grancey goes shopping, my job is to follow closely enough to not crowd her, but be available to calculate sale prices instantly for her.

    HER: This is $85 on sale at 80% off - how much?
    ME: $17.

    I can do it so fast that even sales clerks express amazement.

    Haha. The pointless part is that I use 40 minutes a day on it, beginning when I was age 13.
    Turns out not resembling a Wookie is addicting!

    This is why I started waxing. Less grow back over time. I had a horrible unibrow once upon a time. I inherited my dad's big bushy eyebrows. I have to trim them once a week or so in addition to the waxing and plucking. I love my Tweezermans.

    I guess my pointless talent would be giving a great back rub. Maybe not so pointless since it provides pleasure to the receiver and I enjoy giving them, but outside of my personal relationships it does not provide any real return.

    Making me laugh is not a pointless talent.

    More old thread resurrection. Thought of some of these:

    I can wiggle each eyebrow independently.
    I can wiggle my ears simultaneously and my left on its own.
    I have near perfect pitch.
    I can play the William Tell Overture like this:
