The Areas of My Expertise

So the guy from the Daily Show, John Hodgman, (he's the PC guy in the PC-Mac commercials) has a book out called "The Areas of My Expertise" and it made me think about mine.

The areas of my expertise: Football, Star Trek (actually, most of what Sci-Fi shows), cartoons, comic books, politics (state and national), alt-country music and the business of healthcare. More knowledge than I will ever need on how to layout pages in InDesign, Quark and DTI.

Please feel free to post your own.

 

Sorority sisters and baseball

 

Brook Jacoby, stalking, being fiscally stupid, making bad decisions, They Might Be Giants and Jay-Z's lips.

 

Procrastination, remembering meaningless information, NFL draft, being fiscally stupid (same here, IJAG), eating wings, not shaving, Pittsburgh Pirates minor league system.

 

Baseball, bartending, architecture and building renovation, urban design, and manscaping.

 

Ritual animal killings, theft and origami.

 

Hockey, Caddyshack/Slap Shot/Breaking Away movie lines, Yahoo Literati, rooting for teams with no chance of winning (If the Rockies win 63 games each year, that's another year they don't lose 100 -- and they haven't yet), Rush (music group) and being a guitarist and drummer who never plays out of tune.

 

I don't know what this is and I think that makes me happy.

 

I have too much to bother manscaping [/dago looser].

 

The Beatles, Charles Bukowski, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", the history and roots of punk/grunge, "The Simpsons" and drinking beer.

 

Summarizing Proust, golf, strangling small animals, and masturbating.

 

Kind of a repeat there, Fenian.
