This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

the least impressive skill
I instinctively open my dictionary at exactly the right letter every time I use it, sometimes within a page or two. And it's not one of those shitty little pocket ones - its a Chambers that weighs about 3 kilos.

I don't generally boast about this because nobody gives a toss. It's like saying I've got thicker glasses or a smaller cock.

Makes me happy. I love my dictionary.

I know how to blow things up
on land and how to do underwater demolition. If you need a big thing turned into lots of smaller things, I’m your man.

And on not completely unrelated note, when I burst my eardrums I was able to blow smoke out of my ears. Everything grew back after a few weeks so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

I can ride 'the danger bike' while...
...spinning a magazine on my finger.**

The danger bike is a tiny thing with 5inch wheels. I am a fat thing coming in a 6ft3. I'm sure I'm bending the laws of physics when I do it.

That is all.

**proof pending.

I can roll my tongue into a tube.
Apparently not everyone can.


I can also turn it upside down. Particularly weird when I run my finger from side to side. The brain tells me the finger goes left to right, the tongue tells me it goes right to left.

I can "gleet"
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gleet (the first entry, not the second *ew*)

I discovered it by accident and only know one other person that can do it. I can fire saliva about 1 metre away.

By our powers combined, we form. . .er. . .something useful?
I make a lovely pie. According to my mother, I made my first pie at the age of three. It didn't come out very well, as I'd refused all help and ended up with a sort of chocolatey omelet concoction instead of a chocolate pie, but by the age of nine I was in charge of cooking for the family. Not just because I was good at it, but also because it represented a break from my mother's cooking, for which we were all grateful. I never thought being able to cook and bake successfully without slavishly following a recipe was any kind of unusual talent until I got to school and learned that most of my peers were unable to manage without boxed mixes and ready-meals. In contrast, my sister: She once set a pot of water to boil, then forgot about it until the smoke alarm went off. The pot was so badly scorched that it had to be thrown away. She was in her twenties at the time and yes, I still tease her about burning a pot of water.

Now, my sister is pretty talented in her own right. She can sew, and I don't mean just follow a pattern. I can point to a picture, say 'I want that', she'll do a few sketches, cut some fabric and before I know it, the perfect garment is ready to go. Despite her inability to successfully boil water, when it comes to making clothing she possesses this innate sense of shaping, balance and construction that's almost uncanny. She's a professional costume-maker and is employed as such, too, which I believe to be something worth bragging about. In contrast, me: I've destroyed two sewing machines within a month of acquiring them and am about to start in on my third. Wish it a long life, please.

I can suck air into my stomach
and then make a belch that last for up to 7 seconds.
Sometimes I can also bring up a bit of the last meal I had if I burp too quickly.
Sorry to bring the tone down more.

Talent spotting hairdresser
Many years ago, my hairdresser was just tidying up the sides when she said 'It's easier for me if you don't do that.' I had no idea what she was talking about but apparently I moved my ear every time she came near it with the scissors. I can still do it now but only realise it's happening when I feel my glasses move.

Not quite as lame as it sounds, I can wink like a doll with a broken eye - one eye open one shut but without all that screwing up of the face.

I can get an entire Magnum into my mouth in one go.
Somewhat foolishly, I was once persuaded to demonstrate this whilst sitting outside a pub on Canal Street in Manchester and spent the rest of the afternoon declining very polite but ultimately unwelcome offers of companionship.

I can make my eyes wobble
they sort of shake rather quickly(it's not just looking left and right very fast). It used to freak people out at school, though I'm sure it's not an uncommon ability. Oh and I can bend my fingers and arms a little more than most people I know(my thumb at a ninety degree angle to the rest of my fingers).
But best of all I can make my cock get really hard and wobble!

Aural rape
I can hold my nose and blow hard out of my ears, producing a high-pitched squealing noise from one of them.

It used to make my ex agitatedly alternate between flapping her arms and covering her ears, so was a source of some amusement to me.

I can open my throat,
and just pour liquid straight in! Not an advisable pub trick unless you're drinking Guinness or other non-fizzy beverage. Not to be repeated too many times in one night though!

I can drink a pint in the same time it takes me to down two shots. Great for winning bets.

I can play eyeball tennis
essentially, you go cross-eyed then look left without moving your right eye, then go crosseyed again then look right without moving your left eye, and repeat.

Done well, it looks like your pupils are bouncing back and forth like an executive desk toy.
