What talent that you don't possess do you most admire?

Tongiht, I would mostly like to have the talent of playing the bass guitar really well, which I can't.
I'd also like to have perfectly balanced tastebuds that would let me eat olives and capers. Except they won't.

I currently have a cheapy acoustic that so far I have failed to tune on three occasions and snapped the G string in the process (fnar, etc).

I've had an idea. If you order a fourth side-mimsy, you can place the third and fourth on the cleavage-sides of your boobs, so that when your rub them together, you can do an impromptu bit of self-scissoring.

if you wear a high-cut top, you can hide what you're doing. In fact, you can order an additional two side-mimsies and place them on the outsides of your boobs and give them a good fingering while you're mashing your inside-boob side-mimsies together.

Have to clean the house out a lot, but they are so amazingly cute and inquisitive that they almost look intelligent. They respond to my voice and come when called by name, which is also rather cute.
I recommend giving your landlord a kitten. They'll be so distracted by the fluff and memes they'll forget you have anything. What would you get?

I've wanted some for years (since I was made to read Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in school). Sadly my mother is somewhat neurotic and wasn't keen on having rats in the place...
I'd be inclined to get a kitten; I'm very fond of cats and have never had one of my very very own. His name would be Strider.
