That's gross.


Uhmm, I'm really very limited. Tori can wiggle her ears like crazy, but she doesn't get that skill from me. Could be a latent skill as my nephew can do the same, but his mom and I can't do it.

Go pitterpat.
Said,
"I can do that,
I can do that."

Knew ev'ry step
Right off the bat.
Said,
"I can do that,
I can do that."

One morning Sis won't go to dance class
I grabbed her shoes and tights and all,
But my foot's too small,
So,
I stuff her shoes
With extra socks,
Run seven blocks
In nothin' flat.
Hell,
I can do that,
I can do that.

I got to class
And had it made,
And so I stayed
The rest of my life.
All thanks to Sis
(Now married and fat),

I can do this.

That I can do!
I can do that.

I can crack/pop most every joint in my body, it really freaks my husband out when I crack my shoulders and back over and over. He says I'm just old and falling apart!
I can bend my thumb over to touch my forearm.
I can also produce most anything from my purse. I always wanted to go on Let's Make a Deal because I'm sure I could find what he asked for in there somewhere!

My husband and son can roll their tongues. They make fun of me beacuse I can't.

Moonliner mentioned he wanted to keep this thread in the original vein. So, my question is this:

Am I posting my random talents, or talents I can perform on the original, um, most important vein of all...;) :D :p

I'll leave you with this, per my Doctor. I have little to no gag reflexes. That's the truth. I learned that when I had strep throat as a child & literally had no reaction to the tongue depressor. With such an anomaly, I could go either way. I chose to use it for the purposes of good. Such as? I can deep throat a Big Stick. ;)
