Funny, I can arch my LEFT, but not my right eyebrow.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

I "can't" snap my fingers. Always bugged me.

When I was nine, I learned how to make the Vulcan peace sign. Albeit, it was a while before I was able to do it without the aid of scotch tape. Though, at the time, we knew it as the nanu-nanu sign from Mork & Mindy.

With my bad teeth, I have this trick where I can do an impression of the wolf man, then morph it into an Elvis lip curl, then morph that into an impression of the elephant man.

You know that trick where ya' strum your finger across your lips real fast to make it sound like you're underwater? I figured out a way to make that noise by curling the corners of my bottom lip back & forth real fast.

I have this cartoonish high pitched voice that tends to impress younger people. Older people, on the other hand, find it irritating as heck, particularly folks with kids.

I can also flare & relax my nostrils real fast, but most folks aren't impressed by that.

I can flex my pecks, which is quite an odd site when you consider I'm a pudgy, flabby guy with manboobs.

The one talent that I'm most proud of, the one which inspired me to go into radio & acting, is my seemingly uncanny ability to pronounce the word anonymity. Some folks have been working the program a lot longer than I have, and yet they still can't pronounce that one word.

I can do a triple tongue curl.



I can almost do 4, but not quite.

I'm a darn good free-hand tree climber.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

I can drink Tequila, Beer, Wine, Whiskey, anything, in any combination without getting sick. Just the other night I had a beer in one hand, a glass of wine in the other, and drank intermittent shots of Tequila. Had a few of each and never got sick in the least.

I also have the knack for making up nicknames for people that tend to stick with them.

I can wrap my fingers around one another by placing each finger over the one next to it. My dad can also do this. At school they claimed it was disgusting!

I can make my eyeballs vibrate.  It's easier to do if I stay in practice.

I can juggle five tennis balls at the same time. Or let me put it this way: I have. Did. Once. Usually four's my upper limit.

Sweet, juggling rocks!

Since kids I am way out of practice but I was able to juggle 5 balls too.  I would also juggle knives and torches.   I worked my way through graduate school by doing clowning/juggling at birthday parties (no knives or torches at the birthday parties though). 

I can and still often make balloon animals.

I have a talent for not getting cavities. Never ever had one.

I can remember a lot of useless info (but not the important things like when meetings are)

Same here!
I couldn't raise my right eyebrow if my life depended on it.

I can also make the Predator sound.
You remember that, right?
I vibrate my glottis, at least I think that's what it's called.  I can't do it all the time, but when I can, it sounds exactly like the Predator.

You too eh? I can remember weird crap like the name of EVERY schoolteacher I've ever had and trivial crap like that, but anything useful: Out the door at first opportunity.

I can move my eyebrows independantly more so then John Belushi could. I can pop my knuckle at will over and over again, most people have to wait a while after they pop their knuckles I can immediately do it again repeatedly.

I have this dubious talent for making one old pair of slightly used underpants last for 365 days, or 366, if it's Leap Year.

By the time it reaches 366 days, the underpants leap by themselves... :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout:
