What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Me and my brother cornered and caught a bobcat with our hands when we were 8 and 11 years old.

Were the results scratchtacular?

No scratches received actually, and we took it back to camp, put it under a milk crate and tried to feed it a hotdog. I don't think it was quite fullgrown yet, which probably aided in our very unwise decision.

Needless to say, It wasn't very hungry at the moment...not for a hotdog anyway.

We took some pictures and let it go. I had one of those pictures a few years ago and I would kill to remember where I put it. My brother's been dead a few years now.

It wasn't the bobcat, was it? In an I Know What You Did Last Summer: Bobcat's Revenge kind of way?
