NEFA DISCussion

Anybody in NEFAland have any special secret talents outside of the disc golf world?
(This isn't meant to be dirty thankya)

I for one can play the guitar, am an above average basketball player (can spin a ball on my finger for as long as i want, that's why doing it with a disc is so easy!), I can juggle, and porbably most surprising I can actually sing really well.

Don't be shy, what amazing talents ya'll got??? Who's a great cook? Who can do 40 pull-ups? Who has an amazing whiffle ball slider??
C'mon C'mon

Played drums pretty much my whole life. Dad was in a band so the kit was always set up in the basement.

Played bass guitar for a short while. That's me on the left at 13

I can eat a hotdog bun in under 30 seconds without the use of water.

I was a Chef for 15 years. Mostly japanese food. My last stint before I got out of the field was head chef of a japanese noodle house for 9 years. Sushi anyone?

How does one quantify "above average basketball player"... to me an average basketball player is a kid that played at the DIII level or above in College.. not at some crappy mid-Mass. High School, also likely 6'3" or taller. Spinning a basketball on your finger does not make you above average, and spinning a disc on it is actually 10 times easier.

Yes please!

Sick of the snow Solbo? Don't read into "above average basketball player" too much.

this cant be a serious thread right?

Im the toughest guy in all of nefa, just ask me ill tell ya!

I played street ball anywhere I could for about 5 years straight, places I would deem ridiculous to go to now haha.
I distinctly remember getting a threat of stabbing by the 6' 4" afro-thunder in the trailer park outside Houston that I had just beat 21-9 in a 1 on 1.

Actually gave up basketball in school to do more musical stuff, show choir, vocal ensembles. Used to be exceptional, now I kinda just dull it down to above average. Don't play as much as I'd like any more.

And I didn't mean for spinning a ball on my finger to sound like that was why I play basketball well, it's just another hidden talent that happens to be related to the same subject.

Good hidden talents so far, keep em coming

It's expected by now, I don't look like I could hit a layup at the sight of me

i can drop some nasty beats beatboxin

I just learned how to stack golf balls. So far four is my max.

Photography is a rapidly growing hobby of mine, tho I still consider myself an amateur. Other hidden talents include drawing & sketching (mostly cartoons)...been doin that practically my whole life.

I'm also quite proficient in writing, editing and proof reading... hand-me-down talents from my mother who is an English Major. I've had many articles and drawings published in various publications & circulations, though none of them are mainstream..recently won a poetry contest about the Asian Long Horn Beetle, sponsored by the USDA...won a beetle prize pack

Lastly, if you have wetlands that need to be delineated or trees & plants that need to be identified, I can do those too.....for a fee of course

I can play the didgeridoo...and I am the worlds best father. Seriously....

As I posted this my two year old fell upstairs and has a big bump on her head. I retract my earlier talent....

I've never tried this, but that looks absolutely ridiculous.

I'm pretty good at juggling. Behind the back, through the legs, off the wall, one-handed, all that junk. I'll kick it up a notch by juggling basketballs. To outdo myself I'll eat apples, one at a time, while juggling them. My 2yr old literally crapped himself watching the apple trick, so I assume it was awesome.
