everyone can do useless, weird shit. what's your worthless talent?

i can crack the big toe on my right foot up to 3 dozen times in a row.

something else i'm VERY proud of... i can, without fail, stop hiccuping at ONE. i can't teach the method but i've perfected it and have amazed friends for years. :)

oh christ... what's my life become? :confused:

I can lick my own eyebrows, and breath through my ears. ;)
 
ok ezzy... the 2nd one i could buy but lick your own eyebrows? you can't be serious... unless you're andy rooney and have some shaggy ass, droopy eyebrows that hang down to your nose. :D
 
I can handle being awake for more than 24 hours at a time without any real problems. I do get a little cranky however by the time I do decide I'm going to bed.

Just don't let "who I am" get back to the producers.
 
I can open a box of matches take one out light it and extinguish it, all with one hand.

I can make my right eye squeak.
 
Hmmm let's see....

I can talk like ET and Alvin and the Chipmunks... and I don't even need helium.
My son ( 21 ) and my daughters ( 18 years and 7 years ) make me sing like that at Christmas. Some times too, my eldest daughter will call me out of the blue and have my sing like it for the hell of it just to make her laugh. :p

Along the same line, I can do a credible imitation of Marvin Martian. Also, I can reach every spot on my back. I've been told not many people can do that, but I think with a little stretching it can't be that difficult.
 
i too can reach any spot on my back. it ain't easy, though.

i can hyperextend my elbow inwards. it tends to freak people out when i do it. :>

Do you do birthday parties? :)

What a "talented" bunch! :D

The only thing that I can think of is that even though I'm right-handed, I can write beautifully with my left hand. Everything is a mirror image, though, of what it SHOULD be. If I try to write normally with my left hand, it's illegible.

am i the only one who finds this absolutely fascinating? it's like inverse ambidextrosity (is that a word?... ambidextrousness?... ambitdextrility?)

all things considered, we could start like a lit side show. i never imagined some of these responses. keep 'em comin'! this is wild!
 
I can do a great "Grr" (from Invador Zim) impression

My nose has very little cartilege and is very stretchy because of that, so I can move it into positions most people can't and if I hold it in a certain position, I can let it go and it will stick that way for a few minutes. (Really freaks kids out)

I think that's all I got. :)

My husband can do a great Grr too! He sometimes busts out in the Doom Song just for the heck of it.

I can move the bones in both of my ankles ... they sort of snap out of place, then back in. I'm not an anatomy expert, but I think the one I can move is the Talus. You can see if it you look at the outside of my foot/ankle.
 
I can crack my sternum... it makes a really loud popping sound.

I can crack my back, my elbows, knuckles, wrists, hip, knees, ankles, toes and fingers...

And I can dislocate my jaw if I open my mouth really wide. Makes it difficult to eat sandwiches, because I have to maneouver a bit to get it closed again.

:p

sweet!

i used to do this when i yawned... my girlfriend at the time was disgusted by it and forced me to stop so i rarely find myself doing it anymore.
 
I can cross two sets of fingers on one hand w/o touching them. And, I can also stop hiccuping at one. :)
 
I can put one foot on the floor and put the other on the ceiling (standard height only)
 
I can blow spit bubbles off my tongue... Really i can, would that be considered a special talent?
