I can blow bubbles off the tip of my tongue.


Also, although I don't do it on purpose, I walk without making any discernible noise. I'd be an awesome ninja, which is handy for silently exiting a room as people discover they have spit bubbles stuck to them.
 
Wait, is one of those you? Also, this is the first time i've ever witnessed Slalom skating. Pretty crazy looking.

nah, none of those are me. I am however in the works of my own promo vid 8)

the sport is not very popular in the states because it's so new. it wasn't even recognized as a real thing until early 2009. ever since then though it's been slowly creeping its way across from the east.

the equipment is another reason it hasn't been widely recognized. you need a special type of skate to do the things they are doing in that video, you can't just go out and buy $100 rollerblades at your nearest sporting store and try it yourself.

blades that have a tighter fit+sturdier frame are required. the best ones often utilize carbon fiber in their framework and cost about $700.

My sister is able to blow bubbles off her tongue. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to do this.
 
I can do what I call the "pretzel technique". Its a convoluted method of bringing my hands from my back side up over to my front side without losing contact between fingers. I am not fully double jointed so people get visibly disturbed when I do it.
 
I don't usually cover my mouth and Nose and the blow hard into it. I have good hearing, I clean my ears weekly, I'll be alright.

It's not about whether air coming out of your air is a annoyance, it's a symptom. Perforated eardrums is quit serious. And you might not be alright and possible you can end up deaf, no matter how could you're hearing is now. I'm not trying to piss you off, i read about it not long ago and from what i understood you should take it very serious. And you should actually never clean your ear, they're self cleaning. Especially not with a cotton stick.

I hope it will have no consequences for you. Either way, it doesn't hurt having a professional looking at it. If it's nothing then you will be home in a hour.
 
I can befriend any animal. anything except a damn shark.

I can spot a really small bug anywhere withing a 30 yards of my perimeter. lil Fuckers.

I have common sense that exceeds yours till a point where it isn't common sense anymore. It becomes a strange form of intuition that has saved my ass on multiple occasions. A lot of Black people have this.

Sandwich expert

I'm also a pretty crafty thief. I dont use these powers though...
 
You're pretty talented OP.

I've always been good at CS and competitive games in general(whether virtual or IRL). I was always one of the more athletic kids growing up.

idk if that's a talent though.
 
I can procrastinate till I'm fucked.

I'm pretty good at this too, got me kicked out of college.

Edit: I'm procrastinating going to sleep right now. I'm gonna be fucked when I have to drive an hour to work at 5 am.
 
I have really good balance. Thats not really a talent though.
 
Dude you are super talented. That beat is really nice.

Appreciate that!! I actually made it today, it inspired this thread.

I'm gonna rap on that beat OP, that's amazing.

If you do, send it to me? I'd like to hear it. I'm probably gonna put some lyrics to it as well. I can do a bit of the rapping thing. Here's an electro song I made for a youtuber named Jesse cox. Link - http://youtu.be/PvuKe-180yU
 
I can kinda do dubstep beatbox. I do it a lot at work. I also draw on my gloved hand a bunch while at work. Oh yeah, I draw.

Are there skates that are more affordable?
 
I'm very fond of my talent of shooting a paper ball into a trashcan.
Also, I am able to hum and talk out sentences to different songs on the fly. It's AWESOME!
 
Wtf. You could definitely squeeze 500k views on YouTube doing that. Or some sweet reddit karma.

Eh, it's not that cool in action. You know how some people can flip their eyelid using their hands? I do the same thing, except just by squeezing my eyes tight.

Ok, 50k. That's still cool. It just makes my eyes hurt when I try.
 
i can orientate confidently. like i've gone to unfamiliar places and find my directions to wherever i wanna go. its been useful whilst traveling.

i also can zone out efficiently when someone boring talks to me.

but my best talent is that i can internet for hours and hours and hours. and hours.
 
You can repeat something back to me several times and I will fail to understand what you're saying almost every time until you shout it at me. Simply put, I have the talent to make people very upset unintentionally.
 
I have a great memory. Sometimes I pretend not to remember something because I think people would think I'm weird for remembering. Sometimes I act like I don't know a person's name because they might think it's creepy that I still know their name from that one time I met them 4 years ago.
 
I recently discovered I have a knack for ballparking country populations. While drinking at a bar, we were discussing some random facts. Populations came up. Got Hong Kong, UK, Canada, Bolivia, and Greenland (and a couple others I can't remember) all within 5-10%.
 
I can mimic music pitch perfect, and I've developed my sense of rhythm to try to keep up. I can't play any instrument worth crap though. I can do that singing thing gud tho.

I wish. My memory is feeling more and more like a goldfish's. I should probably get that checked out.
 
I'm really flexible so fun to play with that sometimes. I can do cartwheels nonstop and just roll a long distance like that.

Lol, this. It's uncomfortable sometimes.

I'm also very good with languages, I can easily learn almost anything.
I can crack almost every bone from feet fingers, knees, across the spine, all the way to the neck. And I can touch my nose with a tongue.
 
Me neither until I felt very uncomfortable one day in the chest and did this

Like an exaggerated version of a good posture and heard and felt a pop, right in the middle. Happens from time to time.

Yeah I can do that as well, it feels really satisfying. I can also crack my neck, fingers and arm joints. I make my neck crack a bit too often though, I do it without even thinking about it at this point...

Otherwise, I'm pretty good at quite a few things study-related but I wouldn't call them talents. I'm good at those things, not great.
