Old stuff I still know
Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

"Many parts are edible"
When I was younger, I learned that a certain plant that commonly-grew in the cracks of city sidewalks, a pigweed, was edible. I appalled all my friends by casually bending over, and eating. Grazing on one's surroundings is the last thing people expect, somehow. (The pigweed was too green and gummy for my taste, but that wasn't the point.) The nice thing is that as the years go by people seem to be more appalled than ever. It's a real conversation starter (and ender!) It's not so much an old skill as a timeless skill.
