![]() | ![]() Alright, I'm going for diversity points here 1.the hula hooping 2.I've never NOT caught the bouquet at a wedding (and I've been to A LOT of weddings) 3.I ran a milk mile in 7:08 (thats 4 laps, 4 cups of milk)
Bonus: I turned the light off yesterday by hitting the switch with a nerf dart first try.
I'm not sure what all this means. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hmmm....I have the motor skills of a five year old, so I can't claim any amazing party tricks. My Chinese friends claim I'm really good at imitating regional accents and famous people. With enough alcohol, I can be called upon to imitate the Beijing subway lady announcing the stops on the circle line, various Chinese leaders giving speeches, and jokes about people from various provinces. Only useful at a Chinese party. Oddly, I'm not that good at imitating accents in my native language, only in Chinese. |

I always lament that poor lady stuck inside the Stop&Shop register who gets super excited about your savings as you scan an item. You can easily mime her, but in Chinese! |

Were you a musical kid? And I don't think it would only work at Chinese parties...have a few beers and shoot us some YouTube ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() No, not musical. I'm a horrible singer; even Chinese wince at my karaoke attempts. I have NO conventional "talents", to the great frustration of my very musically talented mother, and dad, who excelled at all those ball/team sports. Thus endurance sports. Talent counts far less than ability/willingness to endure suffering. Studied Chinese in college (again, ability to endure suffering) and lived in Beijing for nine years; had only Chinese TV so got to watch a lot of leaders mouthing off on TV, and rode the subway a lot. You hear the same buzzwords from various political campaigns over and over and over again, and I think they're intended to get stuck in your head. They're just stuck in my head with the exact accent of the person who said them. "We will resolutely uphold the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics." GAG! |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Lots of good stuff here. Alas, the only thing I can think of that could even remotely be considered a special talent is the ability to shell and eat sunflower seeds about as fast as I can feed them into my month. I can crack, spin, and extract the seed with my teeth and tongue in one motion. If I'm watching a movie or a game, I can keep up a chipmunk like pace for hours. |

I actually tried to learn how to do this, and, again, didn't have the patience. (uh oh, I see a trend) 100% misunderstanding is also pretty impressive. I certainly have days (weeks?) when I do that with my husband and they suck. Sorry man :/ |

Just pure shock and awe on this one. Nice! Thank you. I had the 8 Track tape when I was a kid. I might be a little rusty - maybe I could get the cd and practice every time I drive to Elko, the 4 hours should do it.... What's the buzz, tell me what's happening'..... |

You just take all the pieces apart and put them back together again. Works much better with the original Rubik's, the pieces come apart and go back together easier then the knock off cubes |
