Are you a non-contortionist too, just as I am?

Asked by rebbel (35553points) June 26th, 2012

How flexible are you?
Can you touch the tip of your nose with your tongue?
Fold your fingers the other way around?
Legs in your neck?
Or are you a plank?
Got any unusual, dramatic bending and flexing of body parts abilities?
In general I am as bendable as a light pole, but I can scratch all spots on my back, with one arm.

I used to be really bendy, until my hips popped out of place a few times. I can still morph my double-jointed fingers into a really odd, creepy looking position though.

Calling me a non-contortionists is sort of a stretch,

I cab still sit in the lotus position. With a little preparation I can put one foot behind my head. But not both – that would be too weird.

Hey, your yoga is hanging out…

None of your examples… but I think I’m reasonably flexible for my age. I could never really do lotus position comfortably; half lotus was ok on one side, not the other, and now after a knee injury and a sprained ankle, it just ain’t gonna happen. I can reach all of my back, though:-)

I can take off my spine, and one of my fingers just fell off.

I can touch my nose with my tongue, never thought of that as a flexibility feat, just thought I had a long tongue, haha. Back when I was taking yoga I managed to get my foot behind my head after a while, but that ability is long gone now.

I rode a horse on Saturday, and since then and until this afternoon every step required forethought and willpower. My hips were so hurting. The thought of bending a foot behind my head (if I were to really entertain such an outlandish thought) would send me screaming from the couch. (To crawl along the floor and amuse the dorg, I suppose.)

How flexible am I? I don’t think I could beat a Slinky in a “hurry down the stairs” contest. I used to be able to touch my toes but now, my ample belly keeps getting in the way.

Can my tongue touch the tip of my nose? Well, I’m pretty sure my tongue is exceptionally flexible as witnessed by ( wink )...but darn it, it’s just not long enough like that KISS dude’s serpentine tongue, see?

Fold my fingers the other way around? Hmm, did you by any chance just finished watching Jumanji? Heh. There was this scene where the young Robin Williams got sucked into the world of Jumanji and his fingers kinda bent backwards during.

Legs in my neck? Sure. I just need a longer dick to tie them up there.

Am I a plank? Make that a bloated plank and it would describe me perfectly.

Got any unusual, dramatic bending and flexing of body parts? No. But I think I know the next NSFW question I’ll be posting. : )

I can tune into FM radio stations simply by tweaking my left nipple.
