000 is also a master whittler.

That's why he has rights.

We got wood, knives, but no porches.

Well, porches are more of a "first world" thing.

If we have a question about geopolitics, we go, "Hey Cain!"

Well, I guess I don't need to take part in this thread then, do I?

Sure.  You do other stuff.

Like torment students, which is to my mind the best use of a college degree that can be reasonably expected from anyone.

American history (especially post-Reconstruction and Civil Rights Movement)
Education (well, really, the practical results of education policy)

Things I can talk semi-knowledgeably about:
Feminism
"I dispose of obsolete meat machines.  Not because I hate them (I do) and not because they deserve it (they do), but because they are in the way and those older ones don't meet emissions codes.  They emit too much.  You don't like them and I don't like them, so spare me the hysteria."

I can talk semi-knowledgeably about Norwegian politics.
I can play a few instruments, read and (to some extent) sight-read music.
Other than that, I know a little bit about very many things.

I can talk semi-knowledgeably about a lot of stuff, I don't specialize. Cooking, some history, dogs, TCM, just weird shit.
I've had a knack for drawing and painting since I was a little kid. Never had an opportunity to study but I've sold a lot of stuff. It doesn't compensate me for the hours I put into it though, so I don't bother much.
Fortune telling shit, especially Lenormand. Hey, a woman's gotta live and I hate retail.  :lol:

Specialty?

Specialties.

I'm a goddamn industry professional. We've had this discussion, PD. We have.

Who the hell is anyone to give themselves a label other THAN being a professional at being ourselves? But, since you asked...

My name is Suu. My specialties include the study of textiles and clothing with an in depth focus of Imperial and Eastern Imperial (Byzantium) Rome. I'm a bartender, and a fucking good one, but I haven't worked in the field since I decided to end my social life by going back to school full-time. I've recently been accepted to be part of a team of student archaeologists to go to Israel next summer to work on Stage 3 and 4 sites on the Mediterranean coast.

I like to write, I like to draw, I can't hold down a job in this shit economy as New England is about 6 months to a year behind the rest of the Nation in recovering from this recession, so I seriously just said, "Fuck it" and went gung-ho by being self-employed this summer. So far, it was the best choice I've made. The taxes are going to such, but it's something I enjoy doing and I'm making decent money just by being creative. Sure, there's no benefits. There's no glamour. It's just Suu at her sewing machine.

So, uh, what's up, spags?
