Problem to the Solution

Tonight's Drink: Lemon Spice Tea, non alcoholic (Wish I could taste this shit!)
So a few days back I had quite the experience. I had went out for frozen yogurt and food, ended up eating like, 2 pounds of frozen yogurt (sue me). Hit the bowling alley, realize they have bought a new air hockey table (I broke the last one).
Unbelievable. They have an 8 foot Dynamo table, tournament legal. I am slightly aroused. Like, it's beautiful. It was meant for me. I am going to tear that table apart.
I love air hockey. So much. You do not understand. I became good at Blackjack just so I could make enough money in Welding class so I could actually pay to go play air hockey. I can say hands down that I am the best player easily of anyone that I know. I am not defeated. If I was a pony, a mallet would probably be my cutie mark. So I want you to know just how much I am salivating at seeing this new angel in the corner, this beauty that is asking me to play her.
And I do, for over 3 hours. 3 hours of constant air hockey. I'm tired, I'm sweating, but oh my god I am having fun. And then this girl approaches, and asks if we'll be done any time soon. I realize I've been hogging it and tell her I'll let them play, but she wants to play me. This is odd, but sure.
So I'll admit, I lost. She cheated by blocking with her palm and arm (Kinda hard to get it in if your flesh bits are blocking the goal post!), but her offense was amazing. Granted I was losing steam and was sweating all over the table, and 2 pounds of yogurt didn't help much, but my god she had some reflexes and was able to keep up with me on a lot. She beat me twice, I beat her twice. Would have won all of them if it wasn't for the arm thing, but I wasn't going to call her on it. I mean, she was cute. Way cute. I'll let it slide.
I really don't know where I'm going with this, I'm having alcohol withdrawals I think. I told myself I need to train, work out, and get better because apparently my hubris has been my undoing. So, no alcohol until then. Which I'll probably give in and start drinking again tomorrow because I have the discipline of a heroin addict. But still, I must be the best, no question about it!
So what are some things that you feel you are incredibly good at? Doesn't have to be in a competitive sense, but something you feel like you are a well versed expert in the field of? Have any cool or crazy stories about them?
