CONFESS!!! Bizarre talent that you have...

[LynneSin]

...come on, I know there is some secret talent that you have - time for you to brag about it here!!!

Me? I have 2 I'm quite good at:

I can chug just about any liquid provided it's not too cold. It was real handy when I had not 1, but 2 CAT scans in one day. All that nasty chalky liquid I had to drink. The Tech said I could just sip at it as long as it got finished within an hour. Five seconds later I had the entire 32ounce drink downed. It's a skill set I learned at college and I'm finding it helpful with all these juices I've been drinking made from my new juicer.

My other skills - I can swallow pills with hardly any liquid. Just took my vitamins this morning and noticed there was barely a swallow of milk left in my carton. No problem - still downed four of them without a problem.

So what is YOUR secret talent?

[Bronco69]

1. I would tell you, but I don't want to get your thread locked.

:-) No sex threads! :spank:

[meegbear]

2. PM me!

I won't tell anyone ;-)

[LynneSin]

4. PM me after he PMs you

Ok!

Love

Your Bunny Friend

[kick-ass-bob]

22. PM me after he PMs you after...

ok - I'm confused now...
:crazy:

[terrya]

10. And when you get a chance, please PM me.

Inquiring minds want to know!! :-)

[LynneSin]

14. I'll PM you after Meegbear PMs me

m'kay!

[terrya]

15. That works!

Thanks. :-)

[stellanoir]

3. I have the rather strange social proclivity. . .

of dancing with a slinky. It's more of a goofy gimmick than anything even remotely erotic. It reflects and refracts the light and is a really cool visual and percussive device.

Not sure whether or not it's an acquired skill or just really eccentric behavior. . .

Most folks get a kick out of it.

[sniffa]

5. i do great impressions

usuaLLy, picking up on smaLL tics and exaggerating them.

i can butcher any song.

i can pLay a mean game of poker.

[Joe Power]

6. I can wiggle my ears

Really

[underpants]

9. I can wiggle my scalp

Seriouslly

[Joe Power]

11. Oh man, what did I start here?

This could get ugly FAST!

[sniffa]

12. i can make an appendage

dance to whatever music is on.... but i get tired easiLy now. :evilgrin:

[Joe Power]

18. Please...

...do NOT post any video evidence, no matter how much Underpants asks you to. Thanks in advance. :toast:

[Redstone]

65. Do your ears move when you do that?

I can do it too, but refer to it as wiggling my ears, not scalp.

Redstone

[TlalocW]

7. I can one-up you there

I never take liquid with pills. I didn't know I was doing it "wrong" until I was a teenager, and my mom expressed surprise when I took an anti-biotic without any water.

I can also clasp my hands together and stick up my two index fingers and make them dance an erotic hula dance. Never thought much of it until I would do it as a joke, and friends would then try to imitate it and get freaked out that they couldn't.

8. I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Very useful talent, I know. Especially if you want to be in a KISS cover band (which I don't).

[aQuArius]

61. That's my talent too, Its really long.

My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind though. Ok, enough said.

[livinginphotographs]

62. Eh ahem cough cough.

If it doesn't work out, look me up. :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I can be asked for directions, by strangers, no matter where I am

Whether it be a city I've never been in before (happened to me a few times, including in Japan!), or a store, or a park on a hike, or generally walking around town.

In stores, the asking for directions are of the sort of "where is this product?" or "Are you the manager?" or "What do you recommend?"

And it doesn't really matter how many people are around me, either. They person in need of directions will zoom in on me.

That's my secret special gift, and it works everywhere, and follows me around like a puppy.

My partner tells me "Well, you just always look like you know where you're going and what you're doing".

I find it especially hilarious the sheer amount of times people ask me for help in stores. I even had one woman get mad at me in Tower Records, after I'd helped her for about ten minutes finding stuff and recommending CDs, but couldn't tell her where one thing was she was looking for. I had to say, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I don't work here. I don't know where that is." She got very embarassed.

[Worst Username Ever]

45. I have noticed that people do that with me as well

There will be 300 people in a crowd, and someone will zoom up to me and ask for directions or whatever. Also, homeless people approach me, not the other 100 or so people on the street, for change or bus fare.

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. I can howl like Chewbacca.

[LynneSin]

19. How's the quitting smoking going?

:shrug:

I know friday you wanted to beatup a concrete wall. Hope it's going better for you

:loveya:

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. Thank you. It's going well.

Managed to go the whole weekend without smoking. That was the true test. :hi:

[LynneSin]

24. It gets easier

and in the long run you're lungs are going to love you for allowing them to function.

:loveya:

[leftchick]

17. I can cross my eyes left to right...

then back again...Kinda like this felix the cat clock except my eyes meet in the middle crossed then one moves back in the other direction!



It creeps my sons right out!

[ProfessorGAC]

21. I Can Do The Pill Thing, Too

I don't need any water to swallow a pill. Don't know if i have any other secret talents, cause if i did, i wouldn't be humble enough for them to be secret. Everybody would know about them by now.
The Professor

[kick-ass-bob]

23. I cannot swallow pills WITH water.

maybe as a chaser after the pill is down my throat, but I cannot mix tablets with liquid - doesn't work!

[cags]

25. I can turn my eyelids inside out.

Scares the crap out of little kids.

[Aristus]

26. Here's mine:

I can sing "The Rainbow Connection" using the voices of ALL of the major Muppets, Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Rolf, Robin, Statler and Waldorf, Fozzie, and others as the mood takes me. Gets thunderous applause on karaoke nights.


Yeah, I know. I'm a geek. :-)

[LynneSin]

27. I can sing "12 days of Christmas" like I'm Luciano Pavarotti

Of course Luciano Pavarotti after he's had about 5 shots of Tequila in him!

[Aristus]

53. I don't need to be drunk to do my Muppet voices.

But it helps.... ;-)

[Arkana]

28. Give me any well-known media figure, cartoon character,

or part in a movie, and I can do a near-perfect impression.

I've also been told I have a great singing voice, though I don't think so.

[dolo amber]

29. I post this every time

a thread like this comes along and no one ever comments...it's giving me a complex. It's like *the* only talent I have! x(

I can write anything, backwards, upside-down and in cursive, on an Etch-a-Sketch. :)

[LynneSin]

30. Here! Prove it

http://www.arniie.com/sections/user/etch.php

[dolo amber]

31. Apparently it's a *hands on* kinda thing

I couldn't make that do diddly. :(

It occurs to me, however, that that may be why no one ever responds...maybe no one believes me. :D

[LynneSin]

32. I believe you

sure, if it helps your self-esteem then I'll believe you

:loveya:

[MikeG]

36. I can pick socks up off the floor with my toes.

[Sentath]

37. Given nearly any inanimate object

I can get it to make weird noises ... usually without damaging it.

[Tyler Durden]

38. I have concious blood pressure and heart rate control.

I just let my shoulders sag, lean my head forward a little, unfocus my eyes and my heart rate drops as much as 15 beats/minute in less than 30 seconds from a normal resting of about 65.

My blood pressure will drop as much as 20 from my normal of 110/70 to 90/50. Spacing does not change.

Once I was drugged for an endoscopy, and just for laughs I tried it. I set off the bradycardia alarm when my pulse dropped below 40. At which point the attending nurse yelled at me: "STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!!!"

[bettyellen]

39. i'm a cat whisperer. i know how to touch 90% of cats

and get them to behave in lovey dovey ways that usually shock their owners. my little girl was a freak, and she taught me a lot about what cats really want.

[midnight armadillo]

40. I can put both feet in my mouth.

Rhetorically speaking, of course.

[FuzzySlippers]

41. I have freakishly flexible hands.

I can press my fingers together flat and bend the rest of the hands up so they form acute angles. I can also bend both thumbs to my wrists at the same time. :shrug:

[Red State Rebel]

42. I can cluck like a chicken so well it confuses real chickens!

Now thats someone everyone wishes they could do....

[Jessica]

43. I can do this with my tongue ...

This isn't me, though :D

[Worst Username Ever]

44. I can click my tongue loud enough to make someone's ears ring

Also, I can bound a beer very, very fast.

[SarahB]

46. Lack of....

any measurable gag reflex. :D

* Again, p.s. I don't mean to offend anyone out there who could possibly misconstrue this as me being offensive in any way, but I have to be silly and blatantly flirty today as a defense mechanism in order to not think about my real issues. Thanks.

[MissMillie]

47. I can

fold a fitted sheet so that you can't tell that it's a fitted sheet.

[onecent]

59. My linen closet needs you. Seriously, wanted to learn how to do

that from my very best friend...and she passed away in 1988..my husband and I often tease each other that she left before she could show me that art...she had promised me she would teach me....the linen closet bothers him more than it bothers me...

[yellowdogintexas]

48. I can do the "eyebrow arch" on either eye, independently of

the other Left one is easier than the right one however.


I can make my kneecaps "dance" up and down on my leg

[Canadian Socialist]

49. I have

an uncanny sense of direction. Always know where I am. Can point out directions within about 5degrees. Helps alot when out in the bush.

[last_texas_dem]

66. That's awesome

I'm glad there are people like you out there that I can ask for directions. I still get lost in my hometown that I've lived in my entire life!

[Bok_Tukalo]

50. I can hit myself on the head, making the sound of water dripping

<eom>

[Lisa]

51. I can view stereoscopic photos in 3-d without the special glasses!

It freaks my aerial photo interpretation students out! (Comes in very handy too, in class.)

I discovered how to do this by accident, late one night as I was staring blearily at the textbook, getting ready to teach another satellite-imagery lab.

This website gives an explanation, so I know I'm not the only one.

[geniph]

52. I can pill cats without getting bitten

Hey, it's something.

[Misunderestimator]

54. I can do an amazing Elephant call...

and the pill thing... I take a small sip of water and then I can swallow a whole handful of pills in one gulp... I cannot, however, whistle using my fingers.

[datasuspect]

55. i can turn nickels into quarters

and get shitfaced drunk at a bar for 5 bucks.

[DS1]

56. Creeping people out. But then, I don't even try, so I'm not sure if it

counts as a talent :shrug:

[Not_Giving_Up]

57. I can touch my nose with my tongue

My husband says I was destined to make a woman happy...Nice...How the f*ck did I end up with him then?

[Left Is Write]

58. My secret talent...

Is that I got them to give me the injectable something-or-other after proving I could NOT keep down the nasty crapola they wanted me to drink for my CAT scan.

:)




Edited typo.

[kedrys]

60. I can hang a teaspoon on my nose.

Spectacularly useless, I know, but it's worth a few giggles once everyone's had a few drinks... :D

[last_texas_dem]

63. I can put my foot behind my head

I'm not in that great of shape anymore, but I've stayed pretty flexible. I can sometimes even put both feet at the same time but I usually end up falling over too fast.

I also have a pretty good memory when it comes to useless facts about Top 40 singles from the sixties and seventies. Like, if someone tells me a song that was a chart hit I can usually say the artist, the peak position on the charts, and the record label. This just comes from collecting records and spending too much time looking at Joel Whitburn's reference books about the Billboard charts. But I guess that talent isn't particularly bizarre, just kinda useless...

[Democrat Dragon]

64. I can make animal and mechanical noises

let's see

a cat meow
a dog yelp
parrot noises
dolphin noises
vacuum\fly noises
air-coiming out of a tiny hole noise
sci-fi gun noise
sharp clicking noise
growling noise
