I know no one likes to brag, but this is the place to share why you are different. Be proud of it!

I can bend just the tip of my fingers (don’t know what you call them)

scamp's avatar

This is a weird one. I can roll my tongue into a tube shape, stick it out and whistle through it.
@wildflower I can do that too, but only with some of my fingers!

I can turn my feet around backwards

wildflower's avatar

Owe…So, I’m not unique :(
I can do it with all of them (not incl. thumbs) but the little fingers are tricky. I can also fold all my fingers on top of the next :)

I can pop and lock like TURBO.

scamp's avatar

Wow! We have some talented and LIMBER people here!!

wildflower's avatar

I remember that movie!! Used to think it was so cool!! (hangs head in shame)

peedub's avatar

“Used to,” pffft…..

wildflower's avatar

LOL….ok you got me. I still wanna dress up in a defaced tux and breakdance….

peedub's avatar

Did not see those kicks he was rocking?

Narcissism.

wildflower's avatar

You seen the whole movie? The Flashdance-esque scene where they have to dress formal…..but tear off sleeves, etc. ?

peedub's avatar

haha, yep. That’s pretty amazing. It’s funny when they combine break dancing with the jazzdance stuff.

madddd tetris skills. I can play clarinet, piano, and guitar.
@wildflower I can bend my index finger
back and it looks all double jointed, but I think I can only do that because I broke it (by slamming it on a van door reallllly hard)

wildflower's avatar

Yep. They weren’t great storylines, but some fine moves….

peedub's avatar

Damn haight- you’re skilled little bugger.
We’re totally forming a band.

eambos's avatar

I van hyperextend my knees so far that they look backwards. When standing I can lock them and fall asleep upright =p

TheHaight's avatar

yeah it sucked because my cast looked like I was flipping off people and everyone made fun of me! (this was the 4th grade)

Peedub/ our band would kick ass!!!

peedub's avatar

We’ll bring a taxidermied cobra on stage and you can play the clarinet to it.

eambos's avatar

@thehaight when I broke my thumb it was stuck in hitch hiker position for 4 weeks! A guy actually topped on the road for me when I was just standing there. I ran away FAST.

buster's avatar

TheHaight's avatar

I miss my clarinet days. That sounds like fun.

Haha eambos thats hilarious! Seriously though, I’m not sure I get your talent… Do you have a picture of you doing this? You can fall asleep upright? Wow thats crazy-weird-amazing.

buster's avatar

im going to the roaring twenties later tonight. I will probably go to the speakeasy and pick up a flapper girl then drive around in a model t drunk as a skunk on bathtub gin.

peedub's avatar

Don’t forget amazing imagination as one of your talents.

Riser's avatar

I can turn off my gag reflex and I used to compete in bullwhip and stock whip tournaments through www.wwac.com

P.S. My two talents listed are not affiliated with eachother, in anyway

peedub's avatar

No way! Sounds kinky.

buster's avatar

i do balloon tricks also.

Riser's avatar

I got into it through the martial arts. I did Kenpo for 6 years. I became an expert in the nunchakas. We were competing in a weapon’s tournament in Vegas and I head about the wwac. I went to their show and that same week, I went to a store called the western stage props (in Vegas) and bought a whip.

I’m also the biggest Indy fan alive. Well I was until six years of this

Is it a talent to be able to bend our body parts around? It takes no talent to have flexible body parts. Talent is a skill that becomes quickly and easily learned and mastered. Musical ability can be a talent. Astral Travel is definitely a talent

MrKnowItAll's avatar

I am All-Knowing.

ninjaxmarc's avatar

I can drive anything.

kevbo's avatar

Kicking ass on the Scrabble board.

28lorelei's avatar

I can bend my thumb back to my wrist and make my eyes wiggle
