Drinking Beer - Doesn't matter if its craft or not Ive just always been able to drink a lot unlike liquor. 

Beer Pong - Im not great at all drinking games like COA but beer pong is my jam. 

Driving for long periods of time - Pretty much my whole life we drove everywhere. I've taken trips from Florida to Maine/CT multiple times. Ohio to CA/AZ multiple times, as well as lots of other places and for the past 7 years Alabama to Ohio too many times to count. I have been to 47 states. 

Eating - Best things would be breakfast foods, pizza, hot dogs, and McDonald's Chicken Nuggets.

Eating: I held the record for a small, annual taco-eating contest in Kosciusko County in Indiana for a few years.

My job: I've been doing it since the position itself was in its infancy, so I do pretty well with it.

Googling: I know this sounds dumb, but if something exists on the surface web (even an allusion to something on the deep web), I can pretty much find it.  I've taught myself several skills at a professional level by just Googling.  I've also been asked to find personal information about people, most of which I've been able to do.

Use proper grammar: My college professors were ridiculously particular about this, and after awhile, I just picked a lot of it up.

I get the “googling”. 90% of the population don’t know how to use any of the syntax to narrow searches (like quotes). Almost no one knows things like you can search directly on specific websites like 

 

otrap site:ohiochatter.com

 

would search for otrap only on this site.

I wouldn't call it elite per se since it's average to below average in higher league baseball, but my fastball was 90 and I topped at 92 in high school which was pretty elite for high school. Most other kids on the team were upper 70's low 80's. I couldn't throw for strikes at that speed either which also makes it less elite lol. But if I had someone 0-2 they were definitely getting my top speed and I didn't care where it was going. But being left handed it had a tendency to tail away from a right hander and it was tough to hit... as long as it wasn't 3 ft outside.

Right.  I used to use "inurl" a lot as well.  For ... reasons (for something that could have gotten me into copyright trouble if it could have ever been proven).

My wife might be the worst googler ever. She basically types out the entire question she wants answered. Typically she needs, at most, three of the keywords to find it. But she will type out a 12 word sentence and then get made at the random results.

It's incredible seeing people our age struggle with the internets (I will also throw in using smart phones).  My wife is younger than me and I swear she is at a baby boomer level when it comes to the internet.

My wife and kids just use their phones “hey google” or “hey Siri” to google everything. 

 

My one that is in HS wrestling looked at me like I was from another planet when he wanted to look up a kid he was going to have to wrestle and I typed out “kids name” site:YouTube.com or trackwrestling.com or flowrestling.com to get videos of the kid.
