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.

Vanquished evil spirits from a small patch of now-consecrated ground.
Impregnated... well perhaps that isn't strictly relevant.
Narrowly averted Armageddon after the afore mentioned irrelevant incident.
Embezzled more than Jerome Kerviel in printer paper, biro pens and the occasional pot of tipex.
Fagotted up CV due to dwindling motivation.
Larry Kinged something, somehow, somewhere, honest...
Activities:
Involved in a continuing movement set upon subverting conventional constructs of adulthood which equate such concepts as work, with other concepts like fun.
References are available on request, although come to think of it, I might just make them up instead. After all, I do need a job...
