The Talent You Would Steal

[CrashBang]

Fairly self-explanatory. Which talent of which person (famous or otherwise) would you want to steal?
For the sake of morality, said person won't lose their talent, it'll just be passed on to you as well

Also, just for extra discussion value, which talent do you possess that you're most proud of?

Me? I'm a drummer. I love my music and I play my drums 2-3 hours a day. I'm also a theatre student so I'm a pretty good actor. One of my dream jobs is to be a voice actor for video games or cartoons
The talent I'd steal would be Keith Buckley's voice. He's the singer/screamer from Every Time I Die and The Damned Things. His voice is nothing short of beautiful. I want it

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Talent? It's pretty weird, but I can make anything out of duct tape. I've done 3-D sculptures of Stephen Colbert, the Monarch and all of the major Star Wars characters.

Talent to steal... hmm...
I'd take my sister's uncanny ability to know how much everything costs. I'd take "The Price is Right" for all they're worth.

 

[Dapsen]

I would steal Michael Padget's guitar skills.
Padge, by the way, is the awesome lead guitarist of the welsh metal band Bullet For My Valentine ^^

Ooh, uhm. My talent! Yeah.
I like to think that I'm generally just awesome at stuff, though if I had to actually pick a talent I am very proud of, it would probably be singing.
I love singing, and I think I'm very good at it.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

I would love to steal the talent of someone who knows how to play the guitar, bass and drums well

As for me...?

...I'm damn good at telling lies [I'm an actor]

 

[NeedAUserName]

I wouldn't steal, but I'd take some of Dvae Grohls awesomeness, he has more then enough for the rest of his life, I'll just skim a bit of the top. He won't even know its gone.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

My most awesome random talent is being able to blow bubbles off of my tongue. Figured it out in middle school, never forgot how to do it.

If I could have the talent of anybody... I've got one of those friends who is just good at everything he tries. I know a couple of people like that but he's the one who sticks out, anything he takes up he masters.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Dammit, I want to steal it though, not copy. Then I'd steal the 'talent' of being able to have my fingers move (or something similar) to prevent someone from hurting myself or someone I love. It'd also make me a perfect soldier/assassin/liar/everything (if I could discard old stolen talents for new ones, as I'd be able to rely on my old level of ability in that area (such as breathing) and save hundreds of lives/walk into a war-party constantly stealing the ability to prevent me from doing my job from everyone then ditching the ability on the where-ever-a-non-physical-thing-is-ditched-to. I'd be invincible and wouldn't have to raise a finger, they would just find themselves incapable of stopping me in any way. It'd be like mind-control, except I'd imagine that eventually, given a couple months, the people could learn to stop me (like someone who forgets how to do a handstand because of memory loss or something could learn it again), meaning I wouldn't be permanently crippling anyone, just for a convenient period of time.

OT: Fine, copying, not stealing. I'd copy the ability of the world's best assassin (I'd imagine it would include physical awesomeness, the ability to both, fit in with a crowd, and to be perfectly fine being alone, proficiency with weapons, persuasiveness, patience). It'd be great.

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't have any outstanding talents.

 

[kakaomasse]

i always wanted to be really funny like...Bill Hicks. He was a great guy. As for personal talent...I can watch whole seasons of ATHF without getting permanent brain damage. Can eat tons of gummybears (tons = limitless and infinite amount)
And I can sing a bit.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Talent? Luck.
Talent I'd steal? The ability to write lyrics like Neil Fallon of Clutch.

 

[A Gentlemenly Moron]

My amazing talent is the ability to look dashing no matter my intelligence. You'd be surprised how a red 'n' green hat will make allies.

Talent I'd steal/copy? Maybe the talent of Jack Swift, from Red Dead Revolver. I need that style.

 

[Sinspiration]

Art and Animation, from lots of people..

My main talent.. Memory Mapping? I remember areas better than I do names and face.

 

[Orange643]

I can't do math worth shit, so i'm inclined to pick arithmetic talent.

As for my own talent, i'm pretty good at guitar and bass. (if i do say so myself)

 

[coldasicedrummer]

I'd probably steal Graham Coxon's guitar skills and Jon Theodore's drumming skills. Other than that? Probably Kevin Smith or Tarantino's storytelling abilities, and maybe John Carmack's programming abilites. I'm a competent writer myself, but programming is so far removed from any of my hobbies/talents; I think it'd be interesting to experience doing it at an extraordinarily high level.

 

[UberMore]

Real? Richard Branson's business ability (and related fields of awesome).

Not-real? Dr Manhattan. Just as long as part of his ability is "not being blue all the time", you know, shape-shifting.

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

I can play a mean guitar but I wouldn't want someone else's skills because I like the way I play...

I'd probably steal Johnny Depp's sexual appeal, even though I don't see it.

 

[Koroviev]

It's a tie between playing the piano and being able to manipulate various forms of visual media to my heart's content.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I would not steal any talent because talent is useless without practice.
I would totally copy somebody's skill, though. Skip the learning period. I am not nearly diligent enough to get good at anything.

Anyway, not entirely sure. Because I totally need to internet fellate him some more, I guess I might steal Andrew Hussie's insane work ethic.
Seriously, the amount of effort it must take to update like that is CRAZY. Bit of that and I could do whatever the fuck I wanted.

And, uh, I guess I don't really have any skills or talents myself.
I would say I am decent at being a giant asshole but I am not even really that good at that.

 

[northeast rower]

Talent? Undying suavety. I'm not joking, I'm a dashing guy.

Talent I'd steal? Persuasion. I am awful at getting people to take my side.
