1. Doing weird voices and animal sounds: have actually convinced coworkers that we were being stalked by a cat.
2. Film review and analysis (but with IMDB, who technically can't claim that now?)
3. Making riffs on movies that actually make other viewers laugh.
4. Yes, thinking outside the box as well (but if everyone here does that, are we all in a different box, our own individual ones, or a void?) In my case, I make what I consider to be common sense observations that create uproarious laughter because everyone thinks I'm making a joke.
Ex: In an MBA creative management class where groups were discussing interaction with an alien culture and gender-role issues came up: "But if they're aliens, couldn't they have, like, five different sexes and require one of each to reproduce?" After 3 seconds of stunned silence, my team was practically rolling on the floor.
5. Writing, despite any evidence to contrary here. Strait A's in English.
6. Analyzing the tiniest, most irrelevant things to death.
7. Going for up to half a day at a comic con, flea market, or antique fair without eating or drinking anything, just to make sure I'm not $5.00 short when I find that Transformer or out of print Euro-gore/comedy I've been looking for all my life.
8. Rationalizing even the most unrelated stories, events, or concepts together into the same mythology/timeline in order to defend my interpretation of something (This is a talent all true Transfans have, along with great patience)
