I can wave my big toe at the first 'knuckle'. I can turn my tounge upside down and 'hide' it under my jaw. I can make my eyes 'REM'. And bend both sets of fingers past 90Degrees.

I have a fingerboard collection. And I can make them out of cassette tape cases using a bench grinder to shape the boards, a lighter to form the tail and nose, I draw a graphic that is sandwiched between to pieces of shaped plastic, then I create axles from hot wheels cars and cardboard and epoxy them to the bottom of the board, then finish with grip tape on the top. This was back in the seventh grade some 14 years ago.

I can also write code on a piece of paper. Or verbally shout it and it is valid code.

I can also snatch stacks of pennies off my elbow (that's a cool bar trick).

I can also lift a matchbook onto a pack of cigarettes with my index and pinky fingers while leaving my middle finger and ring finger firmly planted on a table.

I can funnel a beer in .4 seconds. One gulp. I can funnel 3 beers from a 2 story beer bong.

I can roast a bowl and clear without a breathe inbetween (as any good stoner should).

I can hold my breathe for up to 2 minutes underwater.

I can bounce a soccer ball on my head for as many times as I want, as long as there is enough room to move around. My record is like 50.

I can juggle half way decent, enough to wow people, but pale in comparison to the Great Peter Irish.

Lastly, I can blow a bubble off my tongue with nothing but saliva.

I can do the thing where you shoot saliva off the roof of your mouth with your tongue. It goes about 5 feet.

It helps me if I drink orange juice before I do it. Try that.

I can gleek as well. Gleeking is shooting saliva in a stream out from your saliva glands under your tongue. Once when I was 6, a friend showed me how to do it as he was gleeking into the back of another guys head. It was funny, cause he had thick hair and didn't even realize that his head had been glazed. He must have done it like 20 times.

I use candy to get it going, or yawning.

I can also move one brow on command, the wave sounds cool. I tried it when I read your post. Nope can't do that.

I alway use chop sticks when available out of respect for the culture. And you guys thought I was just a cultureless capitalist pig. We'll your half right :lol: .

EDIT: I can also move my arms handcuffed from behind to infront of me.

Psh, anyone smart enough can do that, unless they have really short arms and long legs...

It's blurry and kind of hard to tell. May seem disgusting to some. :P

Here is a short list of my useless talents : frigidosis, penspinning, gleeking, wiggling my ears, flaring my nostrils, moving my eyebrows, rolling coins along my knuckles, touch my thumb to the top of my arm, flipside one handed bra removal, catwalks on a bike, yo yo tricks, many card and coin tricks, lock picking, javelin throw, perfected the art of match rocketry, good at working/making small explosives. I know I'm forgetting something.

Sometimes I can squirt liquid I drink from the corner of my eye.

Oh shit, this thread is so perfect for me.

I wasted my life away learning stupid talents instead of having friends.
I can:
- juggle basketballs
- balance anything big or small on my feet, hands or chin (biggest was a 30ft ladder on my chin)
- spin almost anything on my finger
- do running flips
- fingerboard
- grind rails on soap shoes
- gleek
- spin pens
- create inversions (where a word can be read the same upside down, or as a different word)
- separate orgasms from ejaculations
- drink through a bent straw through my septum
- stick whole q-tips up my nose
- touch my thumbs to my wrists easily (odd thumb joints)
- 'thread the needle' back and forth
- do double frontflips on the trampoline

uhhh... I think that's enough for now.

the ejaculation thing is just tantra and understanding your body.

your septum is the piece of cartilage infront of the bone between your nostrils.
the only reason i can put stuff through it is because mine is pierced and stretched.
