Can we count on that?

I'm still ept.

Let me sum it up for you... totally.

Not one of the newbies, but I noticed I'd never responded to this thread. So, here goes ...

I enjoy art and photography and in helping others where I can. Probably the three most important things in my life are the three "F's" ... faith, family and friends.

Not very talented when it comes to woodworking or gardening (although I sure admire people that are).

Metalworking give me a piece of steel and I'll make a tool or a pretty


Math - I went to school one day and the teacher said 2+2=4 I'm a happy little boy
the next day she says 1+3= 4 I've been screwed ever since!

Something I'm good at? :rolleyes:



I'm thinking. :confused:

Sounds like craps to me.

ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I have found a talent at work for making people I consider acquaintances feel like my best friend. Men and women seem to open up to me and tell me things that are none of my business or ask to be involved in aspects of my life that are none of theirs.


I'm also really good at procrastination.

Talent: I have a facility with words, and I'm a good singer.

Ineptitude: Sports. Actually, I'm pretty kinesthetically challenged all around...the spirit is usually willing, but the flesh is weak in so many ways.

Interesting to review my response from, what, 9 years ago? Strengths haven't changed, really, but low self-esteem and/or getting good jobs w/good pay are no longer a concern. The round trip to Hell & back took care of that.
I suck at a lot of things, but I don't let that keep me from doing what I really wanna do anymore...like singing in key or playing lead guitar.

I guess my biggest weakness now is lack of patience with people in general; I can no longer suffer fools gladly.

This is not Pixies oriented, but an incredible case of multiple ineptitudes.

My local news service has come up with this gem.

MI5 files reveal bungled Nazi mission to US
Posted 9 hours 45 minutes ago

A Nazi submarine mission to the United States during World War II ended in farce after being hit by a series of disasters, newly-released files show.

The Germans planned to bomb roads, railways and factories during Operation Pastorius in June 1942, according to the files from Britain's MI5 domestic intelligence agency.

But even before it got under way the plot descended into a farce worthy of a comedy film.

One of the saboteurs, Herbert Haupt, got drunk in a Paris bar after a farewell dinner and declared to his drinking companions that he was a spy.

When the submarine arrived in the US, it ran aground on a sandbar as it dropped off the four agents on the coast of Long Island, New York.

A US coastguard discovered the Germans as they buried their supplies on the beach - but he was given $300 and persuaded to leave the men alone.

In a report on the mission, Victor Rothschild, head of MI5's counter-espionage division, wrote: "It was only owing to the laziness or stupidity of the American coastguards that this submarine was not attacked by USA forces".

The plot was only foiled when the leader of the spies, George Dasch, rang up the FBI, announced he was a saboteur and demanded to speak to the bureau's then-director, J Edgar Hoover.

His confession was initially dismissed but after a lengthy interview he was arrested and his fellow agents were rounded up, the files showed.

Despite the clumsiness of the mission, MI5 still regarded it as a serious threat.

"This sabotage expedition was better equipped with sabotage apparatus and better trained than any other expeditions of which the security service has heard," Mr Rothschild wrote.

Still looking. I'm sure there's something.

Check the far corner.
