Ok, I can pick up things with my toes! and use my feet in..ummmmm well, certain ways..wink,wink,nudge,nudge.. I can't touch my ear with my tongue but can touch my nose..ewwwwww..I use to be able to fold my eyelids inside out..but haven't tried that in a LONG time, just never came up..lol.

Erm, I can Astral project with a fair degree of proficiency and ride a horse.

Yours,

Tisha · July 03, 2003, 14:25:51

I can pick up things with my toes too! I also can move my head side-to-side like a serpent, along with other near-impossible body contortions that come from being a dancer. Nevermind what I used to be able to do with these "cans" - - - - um, wait - - - yup - - - I can still do it - - - wow. Something to show my grandchildren someday! HAH

I used to be able to speak Dakota, an obscure native american language. I spent some time in college translating creation stories (transcribed phonetically) into english. But that was a long time ago.

Hm! Anyone else?

MosesB · July 03, 2003, 15:39:58

Some times if i concentrate really really hard i can fart unbelievably loud...hmm i could probably prove it by recording it and uploading it here...I believe this is a technique everyone can master if they keep practicing and concentrate.

timeless · July 03, 2003, 15:48:24

Dear MosesB,

I LOVE typos. I sure hope you do not fart an unbelievable load[:O].
I'm sure you meant loud[

]...right...I hope.

Regards,
timeless

Nay · July 03, 2003, 16:22:05

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ROTFLMAO!!!!!! OMG...*wipes tears off face* that was funny.. A load! ...ok..now the visual has me in it's grip..NOOOOOOOO...[

At the same time? Wow! You're good!![

I can hear sounds several kilohertz above the normal range of human hearing. Not quite dog-whistle territory, but close. And like Nay, I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue (Gene Simmons look out!)[

]

As far as some other things go, I have the astounding ability of being completely unexceptional.

Tisha, the "cans" thing....pictures, we need pictures. No boasting unless you can prove it! [

Nay · July 03, 2003, 18:05:48

That me think of something, James! I can hear well, actually "feel" when a T.V. is on in a different room even if the mute is on. Also happens when I go to the mall..I hear a high pitched noise..We have SUPER HEARING!

P.S. pictures of the can thing?..I should say no we don't need pictures..lol..but what the hey!? Bring 'em on, Tisha..hehe

Nay. [

James S · July 03, 2003, 21:28:37

Nay,
yes I know what you mean about the high pitched noises from TV's etc. In TV's this is due to one of the main components that provides the high voltage for the screen. It runs at a high frequency, and sometimes people can hear the noise it makes, especially if that component starts to become faulty. For those of us with sensitive hearing it gets downright irritating and your ears start to hurt.

I also know what you mean also be "feeling" it more than hearing it. I think it could be a sensitivity to EM emissions from all the electrical appliances around us.

"I will do it with my spear and magic helmet!"
"Your spear and magic helmet?"

I am almosta "Block head" if you are familiar with the tirm. The pounding of nails into the nose, straight back into the head. I prefer to use smooth painted chops sticks though, mails can be a bit rough. And I only do it when I am bored.

I use me feet to do a lot of stuff. Pick things up, open doors when my hands are full, grab stuff that is just out of reach, pet the dogs, and so on.

I'm double jointed! So I can slip out of a "full nelson" (wrestling move), and I can also fold may arm flate accross my back, ie, back against wall with both arms sticking straight out on side.

I can cross one eye and look at you with the other, and then switch it back and forth. This tends to be very distracting in conversation.

I also tend to flare my nostrals, like a rabbit does. Also distracting.

I like to walk around with my eyes closed. I can kinda still see where everything is at. I do really good in pitch black areas. I think it comes from having really bad eyesight. Its dangerous for me to walk around with out my glasses so I just shut my eyes. It's actually easier that way.

I got the "super hearing" thing also. I can also track 3 or 4 different conversations at once, and participate in them.

I can only lick the bottom of my nose, I can't get my tounge to go up to the tip. But I got a big nose too, of which I can fit quarters into......not that I do that or anything.....right well moving along.

Ialso tend to go around quoting Monty Python, mostly Search For The Holy Grail. Then there are the other movie classics, Strange Brew, Space Balls, Blazing Saddles to name a few.

I am sure the list is longer than this but most of this stuff seems perfectly normal to me.

Ofcourse a lot of people think my dreams are a little strange too. Like the other day I had a dream where I was waling around outside in my underware. But it was okay because I remember thinking to myself, "Uh Dave, your dreaming about being outside in your underware....Let's go back inside and go back to bed." and a few days before that I had one about shaving my legs.

Okay I'm done.
For now.

Lasher · July 04, 2003, 05:43:25

Oh great, Tisha! Now you've set our work on overcoming our egos back 15 years!!! [

]

I can play and sing the entire song, Paradise by the Dashboard Light (by Meatloaf) on the ukulele.

I can also make people pay me to stop.

Laurel · July 04, 2003, 12:53:36

This thread is cracking me up! I love the photo, Lasher! Can we have a sound file, too? Hee!

I sound like a Monty Python "lady" when I scream. Does that count as a talent? And I'm really good at imitating accents. I can improvise devastatingly bizarre tone poems on the piano. Also, I can write impressive-sounding poetry that's utterly devoid of meaning.

I can fall asleep at will (and I'm really asleep when I do it--I've tested myself with EEG equipment!)

Oh, and I'm able to turn off nasty odors or make them smell good to me (a side effect of cleaning up animal excretions for a living for some years.)

Aren't we all so interesting...

Peephole321 · July 04, 2003, 14:00:30

Fortunately for you, I've never recorded that.
However, if you are feeling brave, you can hear three of my songs at: http://www.mp3.com/davelasher
Don't say I didn't warn ya. [

As for you saying that you sound like a Monty Python "Lady" when you scream, I hope that's not in the bedroom. Your poor hubby will be distracted by unbidden images of John Cleese in drag!!! [

Nay · July 04, 2003, 15:04:11

I love this post! but it is making me think of things that I never thought were weird..lol..like I too can do the toe thing, but Justine try this..put JUST your big toes up (like the fonz, saying aaaaaaa) my kids crack up!

Nay,

I took the liberty of looking up The Naked Cowboy after reading your post. (Anyone interested can find it here :http://www.nakedcowboy.com/ ) And I feel quite comfortable in saying that he won't have to worry abount competition from me any time soon. Firstly, he's in much better shape. Secondly, he's got an entire guitar to cover his privates with, while I only have a ukulele.

Insert your own emasculating joke here--->

Lasher

Nay · July 04, 2003, 15:54:07

Come here Lasher..give me a hug.! I swear I wasn't emasculating you!!
Just made me think of the Naked Cowboy..tehehehehe..He was on Moral Court one day...oh, man was THAT funny!

Squeek · July 05, 2003, 21:21:27

Hmmm...Things I'm good at............

I have this whistle that has this huge frequency. Nobody else can do that...
I have the ability to cause a controlled muscle spasm in my right hand so I am able to press a button about 15 times a second. (That's fast)
I can sit in comfortable computer chairs and sit online for many hours a day and type stuff and develop capral tunnel and not be able to type for a while and not use the computer which would be really bad and not good because it's really bad and bad means not good and then not be able to listen to my good music that is on my computer and then DANCE!

Wow that was wacky.

Tisha · July 05, 2003, 21:52:18

I can spread my toes wide so I look like a duck.

I can sit still for what seems an eternity. I used to be an artist's model - - hey there's a topic: WEIRD JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!

AndrewTheSinger · July 06, 2003, 02:56:28

i can blow spit bubbles

Rob · July 06, 2003, 06:15:03

I can control air flow between my nose and inner ear. Its like a have a muscle that nobody else does. It is actually very useful when I go scuba diving as I just drop all the air out of my suit and sink like a rock with my hands behind my back looking waaaay cool [

]. And if I push more air in/take more air out (ie vary the pressure in my inner ear) I hear different frequencies of sound. Like, low pressure gives me the low notes and vice versa.
At least I know that if someone tried to gag me I could blow me ear drums and breath through my bleeding ears! Ouch...

RandomName · July 07, 2003, 00:42:19

LEt me see here.... I can touch my tounge to my nose, put my ankles behind my head, bend my thumb completely backwards, rotate my arms backwards over my head to my back while my 2 hands hold, I can Astral project, I can use computers, I can use energetic healing, I can think of all my talents and name them quickly from the blue, I can chug any liquid that has a low viscosity and a decent taste and I can focus energy hard enough to move a pen forward 2 inches with telekinesis. Thats about it
