Do you have an unusual ability? (grinnin' again...)
For example, I can pop a cherry in my mouth and tie the stem in a knot--never using my hands, of course...

I believe that everyone has some hidden talent...so, DO TELL...WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DO?

Whoa!!!  How do you do that?  I always thought that cherry thing was just a special effect on a TV comercial!

DOpey:

I share your ability in pissing people off.  I find that whenever there is a big discussion on religion, ESPECIALLY about creation/evolution, I can piss both sides off equally at the drop of a hat.  I'm the creationist's worst enemy because I am a Christian who believes in evolution, and I am an annoyance to the evolutionists because no matter what arguments they use against me, my faith never wavers.

Special ability?  I am a neutralizer.  Much like antacid to am upset stomach.  I can defuse tense situations without even thinking about it.  Hence in all of my 24 years I have never been in a fight.  Hey, I know, maybe I should go mediate things in the Middle East?

Doreen:

Are u sure that is a healthy thing to do?  I mean, it can cause neurological damage, I think, because you're overusing your brains systems and stuff.  

Have you ever halucinated as a result of staying up too long?  There was a radio announcer in the 1950s who stayed up for 200 days and he became extremely paranoid and delusional as a result of the halucinations he was suffering.

Well...I thought this link was funny, so I'll put in my "hidden talent."
When I was much much younger, I was the only girl on a skateboard team in my area.  Guess what this mom of three can still do???
Yes (grinning proudly), I can still do many tricks on my old board, and I'm better than my sons!

Let's see... what's my real hidden talent:
hmmm... I guess I don't have one...  I do a pretty good job of replying without really having anything to say.  Is that a talent?

I can crack almost every intersection of bone
in my body.
I can move my ears.
I have an insane talent for voices.
More practically, my fingers are double jointed, and I can wrap my tongue under my chin.

... one other thing, but you have to ask Chris.

Hi love, hidden talent? I haven't got anything hidden or any talent love. The most I can do is make people smile, but that's hardly a talent now is it? I wish I could do the cherry trick, and I thought my tongue was nimble,   but obviously not as nimble as yours.

Oh I know what i can do, but that isn't for general discussion, so I'd better not say  

Take care love

I also can do they cherry stem trick.  I can do a british accent pretty darn well...I once convinced someone I was when I was born and raised in southwestern Minnesota. hmmm...I have this odd ability to make people laugh, even when they are crying and depressed (example: best friend called me and told me her b/f had broken up with her Over The Phone, and I had her laughing after 10 minutes).  That's all.  Thanks for participating.  bwa-hahahahahahaha

My Talents.

I,also, can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue. Believe it or not, my mother taught me that. A great bar trick. HaHa.

Also- I posses tongue talents. I can touch my nose- even pick my nose with my tongue. Eww. I can touch the bottom og my chin etc. I can roll it, curl it, flip it-you name it.

And lets not forget- the wonderful head stands. I can do those things so easily and just stay up forever and ever.

And of course- who could forget that wonderful ability to piss people off so easily and yet charm my way right out of it.

I can do many things with my eyes...
I can...

- Flip the eyelids inside out
- Tuck the bottom eyelids and eyelashes inside of the eye to create the illusion that they aren't there
- Cross them
- Cross one eye at a time
- Roll one clockwise and the other counterclockwise

Weird thing is no it doesn't... you'd better believe I get yelled at by my folks for it though.  It's actually a really good way to get things out of my eyes, to be honest.
I learned most of these things due to insomnia, and the fact that I had a mirror on my nightstand.  So I'd just do things like this when I was a kid.

Never could do that cherry stem thing, but I bow to the greater talents  
I could always do this yoga type pose,cross legged with a foot on each thigh, since childhood, when yoga was unheard of. Now that is exciting. I have double jointed thumbs that do nothing special except make kids say EW when I show them.

Then there is that other hidden talent, real hidden these days, of being able to...well, never mind.
