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.

Yes I can!
Drink bottled beer by lodging the bottle in my cleavage and bending over backwards with my mouth on the end.

However, I've got no capacity for drinking any more, and I get shrieking hangovers, so I've been unable to continue for a long time.

Once, whilst incandescent with anger at my then husband, I tore the phone book in half. The process involved loads of swearing, bumping into furniture and shouting, and a lie down with a headache after, but it was worth it. Especially because the only witness kept the wrecked tome after, and showed it to his buddies.

Ear wiggling. Been doing that since I was 8! I love it, people spot something moving, but they're never quite sure what...

I can sew my lips shut.
Since I've got seven piercings on my lip alone, I can run thread through the little holes and sew my entire mouth shut ;)

My friend's weird voice
Because I can only think of my weird bendy-thumb, I'm gonna talk about my friend Chris.

Typical scene kid, but less rainbow colours and annoying-ness.

Until he starts mimicking seagulls and ambulances. I'm serious, he can mimic them PERFECTLY. Whenever we're out to get more tequila/vodka/whatever isn't beer he confuses cars by doing the ambulance noise when we're behind them and they're stopped at lights. The poor sods actually pull over to the side thinking an ambulance is coming!

The seagull noise is worse, though. It actually has the weird "caw" to it that the gits make before they steal whatever you're trying to eat. Which he appropriately does after distracting you (i.e. making you shit your pants) with it.

Oh, and he can also mimic the noise a knife makes when scraped across a china plate.

Ear wiggling fun..
When I was little, I remember reading somewhere that you can't wiggle your ears without toughing them. So I set out to prove it wrong, don't ask why it was obviously just a childish whim.

I can still do it to this day :D Admittedly it's a miniscule wiggle but it's a wiggle none the less.
I can also burp on demand, and both my thumbs are double jointed.

--edit: typos

Like vomiting but not
I was born with and continue to be affected with Rumination Syndrome. I am also despite the protestations of the article neither an infant or suffering from cognitive disabilities. It causes me no discomfort or stress and other than annoying my mother enormously has not been an issue in my 29 years so far.

Ears
I can wiggle my ears. It is my only talent. Can't sing. Can't play a musical instrument. Certainly can't dance.

The Unusual Talent/Handicap dichotomy
Unusual Talent 1: Speed reading- I can digest a novel in an afternoon

Corresponding handicap: Cannot spell or use grammar making me write like a spazz.

Unusual Talent 2: Can learn the words to a song by listening to it once

Corresponding handicap: I cannot sing, dance and have the same talent with musical instruments as the average whelk.

UT 3: Very good long term memory. "The old carpet we got to cover the old floorboards is in the loft, you put it up there three years ago on a saturady.."

CH: Very poor short term memory "Now why did I come into this room?"

UT 4: Can happily sit through BBC4 documentaries

CH: Alienation of missus

UT 5: making people laugh

CH: Inability to judge how well sickipedia worthy jokes will go down in polite company.

I just happen to be
extremely good at sex. I can make a woman orgasm almost instantly, and I can do it over and over and over again. It's a gift.

The only problem is, I never get to prove this. :(

Well
I can be a right awkward bastard. Over my lifetime I've really had to dig my heels in, eg;

Bedtime - No, I want to watch the end of The Proffesionals, please mum. Then hide at the edge of the sofa until it did. Age about 9.

Put a coat on - No, ill be fine. Age about 12, with a cold a week later.

Another Snakebite? Yes wench, gimme that and your number. Age 16, with a sick stain on the bedroom floor in the morning.

Don't hit that! Fuck off, smack. Ouch, blood dripping from my right knuckle. I chose to hit a street sign light, cracked the glass. Still works and still there some 20 years later. Age 18, with an inch scar.

Don't shag that - why not?! Der!?

Or that - why not?! Der!?

Repeat.

Ooops - need to book a place need Romford where those lady ops are undertaken.

Don't, er, oh you will anyway. No, I won't!

Don't marry (that) - tough, gunna and need cash.

You're going to be a dad, so stop drinking and smoking. Yes yes yes that's wonderful (no no no, what have I done) - carrys on.

Repeat.

"I'm leaving you, and leaving the children". No you're not!

"I'm coming back". Ditto!

"I'm leaving you". I fucking give up!

"One more chance". Cough.

"I'm leaving you". Ill help you pack (again).

Divorce - fuck off Chambers (RSwipe not included)

Trial - 1/12/10

I don't mean to piss all these people off, or you if you have had to read all this but I seem to have a talent.

Don't click this cos if you do then you're a wanker too. Nuff yet???

Tanks and stuff
I have an ability to tutt and huff through most films/TV News programmes/documentaries pointing out the errors they've made. (Calling assault gun's tanks, showing Ju87Gs in Battle of Britain footage etc) Through my Amazing Mind Bullets, the producers of said erroneous programmes are informed and can correct it. Mrs Kite finds this endlessly endearing.

I can
Stand on one leg for a long, long time. Without sticking my arms out for balance. I'm not sure how long, because when I tried to time it I got bored after the first hour. This is a totally useless talent, unless I ever get a job as a flamingo.

I can also breastfeed and hoover at the same time, which is really quite handy.

And I know a lady *cough* who can hide a can of Super Lager in her quim.

I can open a portal to Middle-Earth
It was the weirdest thing though: last time I was there the anthropomorphic trees were about six or seven feet higher than they normally are.

Bizarre eh?

Not much of a talent these days, but it was sure impressive when I was 11.

I have a few talents, all of them mostly useless unless in a very specific situation.
I can circular breathe - useful for playing a wind instrument or blowing nonstop bubbles in a glass of milk.
I can blow air out through my tear ducts - but I can't breathe in through them.
I have very flexible hands - useful for the afore-mentioned wind instruments, less so for typing.
I can roll my tongue and whistle through it. When roll-tongue-whistling is called upon to save the world, I'll be there in a dash. Until then, it's only good for my own amusement, and sporadically at that.

I can give someone a black eye using only my hair. It's not really a talent though, just unusually long hair and a propensity to spin around rapidly if someone asks me a question.
