my favorite obscure bash trick is control-r.

On a blank command line, hit control-r to do a "reverse incremental search". As you type, bash will search your command history and auto-fill the most recent command that matches the pattern you type in. Hit control-r again to go back to the next most recent match. I use this one all the time. :)
