Strange Quirks or Talents You May Have
 

Do you guys have any strange talents or odd quirks that you'd like to share? It always strikes me as funny when I discover that someone I have known for a while has a really odd talent/quirk.

Personally....

I can say "Who's Your Daddy?" In quite a few different languages including

• English
• Spanish
• Japenese
• Bosnian
• French
• German
• Hmong
• Chinese
• Sign Language

Bring on the talents!

I have no "normal" talents....all of mine are sexual in nature

Where is the Hmong language from?

I can count to 10 in
English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese.

I can juggle
I can make balloon animals
(No, I never wanted to be a clown)
I can find humor in any situation...

The other "talents", well -- I don't talk about such things.... :D (I am shy)

"The Hmong language is one of a group of closely related languages of Southeast Asia and Southern China often referred to as the Miao-Yao languages. Besides being spoken by Hmong people in Laos, Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam, the Hmong language is widely spoken by the Miao minority in Southern China."

I don't really have any strange quirks or talents.

I can shuffle and cut a deck of cards in one hand.

burp loud enough over NYC traffic.

burp alphabet from A-Z

i can clap loudly with one hand.

I have the super power of extending my shoulder blades out from my back (almost looks like short wings). My daughter also seems to have this strange power/abnormality also. It doesn't feel like it is a double jointed kind of thing, but I could be wrong. I've never met anyone else that can even begin to do this.

i can lick my elbow.

I can blow spit bubbles like soap bubbles...many times in a row....ewww.

Stupid Human Tricks anyone?

Cadwiz - my brother can do that, but no one else in my family...

I have no strange talents...

Not really a talent just sort of an odd quick.

I am sort of ambidextrous. I write with my left hand, but I throw with my right. I fight right, bat right, swing right. It's like I'm 90% right handed, but I write with my left hand and do a couple of other things lefty. For the most part I try and use both of my hands as much as possible...

after reading this, I immediately tried to lick my own elbow

i failed

I can hear when a television screen changes from a bright scene to a dark scene, and vice versa. I can also hear that a computer monitor in the house is on from a couple of rooms away.

ELBOW -- Damn when I read it - -I thought it said he could lick his eyebrow - -and was like -- wow -- those lucky girls in his life...

Learned to juggle in college, at least mom and dad didn't completely waste their money!

Anitra says I can be more hard headed than any man alive, is that a talent, or a curse?

My fingers are double jointed so that i can point the tips back parralel to my forearm with no pain. I can dislocate my shoulder on cue. I'm not sure if the last bit is a 'talent' since the orthopaedic specialist calls it "multi directional shoulder instability." Basically, my ligaments are there only for symbolic purposes since they do little to pull the joint together and keep it tight.

I used to live in Eureka, CA. Thats way up north about 70mi from the oregon border for those unfamilar. There was a significant population of Hmong people there.

That particulary group was involved with the CIA during the Vietnam war, and in order to save them from persecution for cooperation with the CIA they were mass relocated to northern california.

i can blow spit bubbles...

I can lick my elbow ... just barely... but i can do it...

i can hear a tv change from dark to light...


but nothing that will get me far in life...

Talents

The base joint of my left thumb is jointed in such a way as to allow me to place all five of the fingers of my left hand flat on a surface. My brother has this same ability, only his right hand is the one that possesses it. We like to sicken people by bending our thumbs back, and then making a high-five motion while mockingly saying "Shazzam!" (Anyone who has never seen the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, just keep scrollin' ;))

I can pick things up with my toes, wave with them, and otherwise grip things with my toes as if they were fingers.

If I place my feet flat against the floor, I can wiggle my toes in such a way as to make a distressingly loud popping sound, as if all my toes accept my big toes are double jointed.

Quirks

I have the odd habbit of whistling obscure video game tunes at the most inopportune times, i.e. whenever I am with someone and we are in public. Also, when I am playing card or board games.

My dream woman would not only be of normal size with dark hair and beautiful blue eyes but have large, leathery wings and fangs as well. (At least I have three out of five, currently :D)

I like the taste of both pennies and blood. (come to think of it, most metalic tastes are nice ones.)

I think that's it for now.

I can do that, I can burp the alpahbet, I can disloacte both hips and both shoulders.

Here's my unique one: I can drink a can of soda through my nose. Without a funnel.

I need to party with you :thumbsup:

:eek: eep! i'm a girl.
...oh, wait...i don't think i've ever mentioned that before...oh well :o
hmph! i wish i could lick my eyebrow...that would kick ass.

I can shake my eyes... it looks like they are vibrating in their sockets. Freaks out my wife... when my son found this out he promptly went about learning to do it too... That's my boy!

Im mostly ambidextrous, i can do everything but write with my left hand, i can dislocate my thumbs, crack every knuckle on my hands, the last joints on all of my fingers are double jointed, i also can vibrate my eyes, i can sleep with my eyes open, i can do many hand-like things with my feet, wiggle my nose, and i can make rude noises with my ear... like JStrider said, nothing to get me too far in life

I'm not special :(
I don't think I have any strange talents.

Do we even want to know how you discovered you were able to do this? :D

My other talent? I can infuriate my mother, mostly by just breathing... it's taken me years to get there, but now I'm really good at it :D

I can speak French although I live in a hicktown.
I can wiggle both ears, one at a time.
I can flare my nostrils.
I can stand on my head for long period of time.

Oh wait...I just realized...I'm not as un-special as I thought...I can raise one eyebrow (for both sides of my face) and I can put my big toe over the other toe next to it (without moving it with my hand).

I can curl my tongue, make a bowl shape, clover shape, and touch my nose with it.

Ummm yeah that's pretty much it. Other than my tongue, the rest of me is boringly normal.

I can wiggle my ear
I can say "hello" "goodbye" in.

-English
-Vietnamese
-Chinese -- Cantonese and Mandarin
-Japanese
-German
-Spanish
-French
-Russian
-Korean

I memorized about half of the chinese songs in my music library w/o understanding a single word :crazy:
A bunch of Japanese and koreans too, don't understand jack squat either.

Oh yeah...my friends said I have a super smart mouth. :D

I can...

Juggle
Bend my fingers back really far (you'd have to see it)
Make just about any cocktail you can think of
Breakdance
Swing
Lindy Hop
Tap Dance
Salsa

that is crazy! I can understand the black/white thing as some tv's are built so terribly u can hear those changes but from a different room wild stuff


as for me no talents other than always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

I can whistle and make it sound like a train.
I can do the Spock eyebrow raise with either 'brow.
I can sleep just about anywhere, anytime. ;)

I saw it on the internet and tried it. How else do you learn these things?

Reading on has reminded me of a few more. Shaking my eyes so they look loike they're vibtrating, wiggling ears, and moving my little toe on each foot separately from the others. I can also do the Vulcan hand sign.

Cool - the Vulcan hand sign is a special trick? I can do it with both hands..

And I can whistle for a cab too (which I've learned that it's not appropriate to do that in Chicago... :) Only NY....

I can dislocate both shoulder blades about 2 and a half inches out of my back.

I can dislocate my shoulders.

And thats about it.

I can:
- Move each of my toes independent of the other (very limited
movement though)
- Wiggle my ears, scalp, and right eyebrow in a suffeciently
coordinated fashion as to make a little show
- blow air out my eye
- Simultaneously make 6, 7, and 9, in the air with limbs
- Geuss your weight freakishly well
- Remain calm in near anything
- Shift my weight really fast and well
- Kick myself in the chin in under 1.3 seconds (6' 1")
- 'Vibrate' my eyes
- Crank out 63 small burps a minute
- Produce 17 good burps a minute
- Burp all manner of verbal items
- Acoustics are used like 20/400 eyes in the back of my head
- Push buttons abnormally fast, I mean fast

and that is all I can, off the top of my head, remind myself of by twitching, wiggling, and generally tinkering with my body in my chair.

If I close my mouth and hold my nose and blow....

my eyes whistle.

Freaks people out every time.

It helped a lot when I used to free dive in CA. The pressure changes came out my eyes.

You know what you are tasting when you put pennies in your mouth, right?????

You're not only tasting the metal, you're tasting the years and years of grime and germs and dirt that have accumulated on the penny. Think how many hands touched that penny, and how many times it has been on the ground and in the dirt, etc..

You're putting all of that in your mouth. Gross.

I can make clicking/popping sounds with my toes.
I can wiggle my ears and do the vulcan peace sign.
I can crack many joints in my body.
I can sit in "inverse lotus" position, where my legs would fold out away from my body, rather than towards it. Try it, its harder than it sounds :D

I am also very easily amused. It takes surprizingly little to get me cracking up and completely incapacitated with hysterical giggling.

But the metal is anti-bacterial. It's MUCH cleaner than a bill.


I know pi to 32 decimal places
Can blow bubbles off my tongue
Can fold my tongue in half while sticking it out
Can burp extremely loud and long

That's all I feel like coming up with for now/

I can speak
English, German, Dutch, French
Can count in spanish, greek, latin
Can curse in finnish
Can pick up stuff with my toes without any problem
can put my big toe over the next one without moving it, by hand;can put my little toe over the next one without moving it by hand
can close both my pinkies while the other fingers stay completely open.
Can whistle in 6 different ways, and can whistle on just about any object, be it a straw, a pen, keys...
Can flare my nostrils
Can juggle


now as for combining this to get rich...

I can count in the back of my mind over long periods of time, read really really fast, and plug my nose with my upper lip (handy for swimming!). Go me!

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Could you explain further?

I have this visual of the Sesame Street version of Y-M-C-A :D

It's nothing complicated, just tracing the shapes of the aforementioned items in the air. Tis quite a feat of coordination.

"i can recite all 50 states in a quarter of a second... *makes a shouting noise* " -peter griffin

I can move my ears.. i guess that's pretty common huh?

Reading through this thread, I suppose I have a few others that I hadn't thought of...

I can Juggle and I can Stand on my Head :D

I can type 70+ WPM.
I can curl my tongue into a taco and a W.
I can read a 700+ page book in less than a day.
I can listen to the same song three times a day, everyday, for two years.
I can listen to the same song, backwards, for several hours at a time.
I learned the French alphabet in less than an hour.
I can whistle through my teeth, as well as the typical way.
I have had anal sex without lube in a car- that's a talent, isn't it? :D

I'm double jointed so, I can get into tight places :browes:

lets see:

can wiggle both or one ear
flare my nostrils
do the billy idol thing with the lip and eyebrow
oh and my ankles crack at will

I knew a guy onces that didnt have cartlage in his outer ear, so, he could stuff the entire outer ear in his ear canal in his head.......


How bout that shit?

Wow, this thread has kept me laughing the whole way!

I:

can breath fire

am quite proficient at stage magic

can play (to varying degrees of proficiency) 7-8 musical instruments

am semi-conversational in French

can bullshit in languages which I have very little knowledge of

can recite most names/lyrics/albums for any top 40 country song in the last 1-3 years, despite not listening to much country until last summer

can weld

can cross all of my fingers over each other on both hands in either direction (hard to explain)

can "roll" my tongue

can stick up to 15 Q-tips into various orifices/holes in my head simultaneously, without using my ear canal or mouth

can flip my eyelids "inside out"...sometimes

can perfectly emulate the stereotypical Monster Truck Announcer guy ("SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!")...and get paid to do so.

Can "sorta" do ventriloquism

can do the Firemarshall Bill thing with my lips, without using my hands to position them

I dunno, maybe some of these don't "count", but these were all I could think of off the top of my head.

Shoulder Blade wing ability...check
Spit Bubbles....check
lick my elbow...check
I can also bend my thumb back to my arm
wiggle my ears
Use chopsticks with my feet
Grow my fingernnails really fast
I can pop my kneecap out (hurts like hell though)
and I can do this weird thing with my fingers
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...ingerweird.jpg

I must be just filled with recessive genes or something.

I can drink a large slurpee straight through... I don't get brainfreeze.

The French alphabet:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_alphabet

Double-jointed finger maneuvers, nose wiggling, ear wiggling - each ear separately, autonomous limb movement, endless conceptual gymnastics, and the ongoing ability to have two wonderful girlfriends living with me.

I do the same thing. :) I like the way it looks. Kinda claw-like.

Well, lets see here.

I can burp at incredibly loud levels. *not a talent, but a learned trait*

I have double jointed knees. Picture the letter C and that's kinda what I can do from the waist to my ankles. It's a great conversation piece! I'll put up a picture of it soon.

I can juggle, whistle with and without fingers in my mouth to do it.

Wiggle my ears, raise an eyebrow, make my tongue look like a W with a couple extra U's on it, and it's functional! Not just for looks! Someone liked it for more than looks at least.

Um, I have an uncanny knack of knowing what the next song on the radio is gonna be.

I too can tell when a TV or computer screen is left on. I can hear really high pitched noises.

I'm a freak....

:)

i can pick up things with my toes... and i can print my name better than Ace can write his own with his hands... And i can tie a bow in a knot with them too. I love my toes.

No i'm not a freak

Hmm I type at 107 words a minute. Something that my high school typing teacher was blown away by hehe. At normaly day to day. AIM/MMoRPG/forums. I type at 93 words a minute.

I've typed out the first 100 pages of the "A" Edition world book in 2 class periods without a single error. I ended up quitting because I made an error on the word Apostrophe :/ I typed apostrohpe accidentally ! Haunts me to this day that word.

I can crack my fingers 14 times in about 10 seconds. I can just feel the arthritis laughing its ass off.

I can pull a 180 and butterslide on a wakeboard. I'm still learning, the guy teaching me can do just about anything on them. From a Superman Raily to a Hooch glide. I hope to break the worldrecord for staying on water ski's for the longest time.

I CANT blow bubbles with spit even though I've tried millions of times.

I can juggle.

I have the uncanny ability to live in my room which is very very messy. Like.... really messy.











......really it is...

And possibly in someones rectum.


i too can excrete air from my tear ducts.
i have also fallen asleep on a bike once and made it 6 blocks going straight...

I can masturbate...wait for it....with one hand! Ok, it isn't a quirk or talent, so what? It's probably the thing I'm most proficient at doing. My real talent is that I'm a super asshole.

I can whistle songs, tunes, not blowing out air, but sucking in air.

I guess I can type fast. I type about 90 words per minute without errors and about 130-140 with around 80% accuracy. I can do the Charleston dance really, really well. I just realized that my talents are nothing to be proud of! :)

-Lasereth

I can also hear if a regular TV is on from several rooms away, sometimes on the other side of a house. Came in handy in TV production class in high school. I didn't have to enter the next room to know everything had been shut down for the night.

Also, i am pretty good at taking mental pictures. If I drive somewhere, even once, no matter how complex the directions or how far away, I can drive there again without any directions at all. Only thing is, I can't really give directions unless it's an area i'm already familiar with, because i don't memorize street names directly- i just recognize them when i see them.

I wonder if those traits are related; I am also an excellent retracer of routes. My wife's specialty is spotting small animals on the side of the road while driving.

I have this strange ability. I show up to work, do work, and amazingly, at the end of each week, this guy shows up and gives me a check....

Baffling....

Refridgerator magnets (you know, the little flimsy kind) stick to my forehead for some damn reason. People think it's funny. Every so often, someone I've told will remember and go "ooh, hey, put this magnet on your forehead, John!"

I have a lot of the same ones but the blowing spit bubbles is the best. You always have something to do. Great at parties watching everyone try to figure out how to do it. My record for keeping one afloat is about 20 seconds.

Oh and one I don't think I saw is the ability to spin my toungue 180 degrees in both directions.

I can understand women.

And I'm a Man.

I do this weird *ring thing* where I take my wedding ring and clip it between the tips of my fingers, then I juggle it by looping my finger, slightly in the center, and clipping with the next. It dangles from the tips (palm down) and I roll it back and forth at like 120 times a minute. I saw this in a movie- The father of the Bride 2 with Steve Martin. He was in bed contemplating his wife's and his daughter's pregnancies. I thought it was cool, and emulated it.

Most of the stuff I can do has already been said:

Blow Bubbles, whistle well, good dexterity in my toes, raise one eyebrow, wiggle my ears, crack joints, sleep anywhere, swing dance, dance in general *or so I've been told, I dunno* roll my stomach, turn my tounge upside down, I almost never get stressed (at all).


I think i am going to make a "sexual talents/quirks post in Tsexuality" it could get interesting.

I can do the magic card trick where you make a deck of cards flip from one hand to the other while your hands are apart. I wish I had a video of it. Perhaps I'll borrow my dad's digicam again and take a video of it.

I have a photographic memory. I can remember faces and names, details about pictures, places and people that I've seen, books that I've read and things that have happened since I was four years old. Helped me graduate college with honors, thank God for the freak genes.

add one more stupid trick -
I can simultaneously pat my head with one hand and rub my tummy with the other hand... :D

I can memorize fairly lengthy alphanumeric strings with relative ease.
Useful for memorizing phone numbers, SSN (well mine at least), school ID, library ID (14-digit number), birthdays, license plates (I know the license plate # on all of my friends' cars). Also useful for school, especially when studying stuff that requires tons of memorization like cellular respiration or fermentation.

Oh yeah. I can do that stuff too. :D
What else... oh, yeah, and I can eat faster than any of my friends, or anyone that I know for that matter. I've never entered an eating competition though, and don't really care to either.

As soon as I get my Red Mage in Final Fantasy XI to level 75, I'll post again. Anyone who plays FFXI will know what I'm talking about (genaki 5 for RDM is tough, I hear).

I can light a match(from a matchbook) with one hand.
I can roll my tounge, pretty standard.
I can "vibrate" my eyes, me and my friends call it "mexican eyes", for some odd reason.

I can:

- wiggle both or either ear
- raise either eyebrow
- touch the tip of my nose with my tongue
- put my leg behind my head - and I weight 225 and lift weights
- teach dogs to roll over on command
- play any string instrument except a harp
- cook

How's that?

I, too, am semi-ambidextrous (eat,throw, sweep/mop with my left; swing, fight with my right). Can also write with my left, especially under stress or extreme fatigue, but mostly use my right. I use my right hand to mouse, but feel equally comfortable using my left.

I can palm a basketball (right hand only)

Like Mattevil and Fremen, I can do the freaky thing with my fingers on both hands,too.

I too can whistle out of my nose.

It's pretty cool.

hahaha yup i have that one too :)

umm i can put both feet behind my head, do a split and i can also not blink for 20 minutes :)

oh and not sure if its a talent but i lost my gag reflex

teh rest are..heheh also sexual

I can make this really strange noise using my throat... everybody always asks me to do it... if I could find my microphone and a free web host, I would put up an .mp3.

I sleep walk on average 3 times a week.

I can remember my dream life like my regular life. Its Kinda like having an unconscious life full of things you can do and a conscious life where you can;'t.

You are my new hero. I've been trying to learn to do that for years.

As for my best... I can *drumroll* Take a bra off a girl with my feet (found this out when I was fooling around while getting a massage)

lol scott we may have to see this to believe it!!

I'm naturally very flexible, fast, and good reflexes. I can wiggle my ears, dislocate my shoulder, vulcan hand sign, and break thick wood with my palm (guess thats not really a talent, I just wanted to throw that in there).

And most of all I seem to have nearly perfected the tone and timing (when speaking) in sarcasm.

I can do that. It creeps people out.

Yeah, I have to agree with KinkyKiwi, here. KK...take your top off. :D

I have an uncanny ability to guess what time I will arrive at a destination and be within 2-5 minutes every single time. Doesn't matter how far the destination. I will have my starting time when I leave and guess when I will arrive. It is weird.

I can also:
wiggle nose
wiggle ears
turn eyelids inside out
masturbate with both hands

whos saying i'm wearing one? :D

*coughcoughcough*

Is that like having a three-way with yourself? or is it cheating? :D


Such a talented group of people there are here...

I can cut a deck of crads with one hand using three different methods! Still, I can play poker and I'm not particularly good at cards period. I'm not all that dextrous other than that either. So really, a useless talent, but it still counts, right?

Can't shuffle with one hand though, NotMinus kicks my butt I guess.

<homer> D'oh </homer>

Peace,

Pierre

If ever there was a time when you DIDN'T want your left hand to know what your right was doing! :) :) :)

Unfaithful handful!

Pierre

I was wondering more along the lines of whether he actually had to.
:thumbsup:

*wink wink*

and waterboy..if you HAVE to use both hands..well c'mon over i've been waiting for ya!

(sorry people i'm just flirty today)

I have a seemingly unnatural ability to precisely remember lines from movies, even movies I've only seen once. My girlfriend and friends find it of dubious value, however.
