Teaching women about the depth and intensity of their sexuality. :D

Singing, observational comedy. Does gaming count, too? lol

My special talent is between me and my construction worker/surfer boy, nobody else gets to know what it is. Except the neighbours, who can probably hear him.

I can suck on my own nipple. :D
I'm speshull.

I can memorize long strings of numbers for months at a time. Credit card numbers, phone numbers (with area code), social security numbers. You could give me a number now and I'd be able to give it back to you in December.

I have no talents. None whatsoever. The extent of my lack of talent, if condensed into a human body, would make Rush Limbaugh look like Kate Moss. If my lack of talent was a monstrous Lovecraftian entity, it would be Lackoftalenthulhu. If my lack of talent was damage in Starcraft, it would make Zeratul look like a Broodling.

I can do the following voices:

Gollum, Yoda, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, 'Sunny' from I. robot, Marlin from Finding Nemo (don't ask), Sauron (black speech or his short engrish words), Darth Malak, Demons from the Movie Constantine, and some other voices, which I don't know who they belong to.

Whew! Can I watch? :D

LOL..is it bad I'm able to laugh at what you said because I'm such a huge SC fan/nerd?

Oh yes. I can do an incredibly accurate Sean Connery voice, Eric Cartman, Gollum, once in a while Darth Vader, and I forget who else.

Hmm...I can learn songs really, really fast. Does that count?

Oh, and I can sit on my feet. I've never met anyone else who can do that.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. Drawing obscure metaphors is a creative talent that... um, you know... some creative guy would like to have.

Uh, that's a talent? :confused:

I think anyone can do that.

Oops, I should have specified - I can sit on my feet with my legs at a 180-degree angle. That does make a bit of a difference... :p

I was kidding. In reality, I have a talent with bizarre metaphors, as well as changing my voice.

I can do a dead-on imitation of Swedish chef, which is probably one of the most kick-ass special talents a person can have! Bork bork bork!

My special tallents are drawing/sketching and swimming (made state a couple times...placed fairly well)

also, I can wiggle my ears;)

So....Matrix style...:D

I can be exceptionally focused. This means I can notice many intricate details that many others do not notice ... if I am choosing to focus on it lol. In otherwords my strength is also my weakness. I am also good at seeing patterns in things; finding correlations that are not readily seen. Also as stated by another here I can remember slews of numbers for years at a time. What is nice I can also choose to forget them :D

Not sure I follow. Do you mean seiza style, like this:

I can cause my eyes to vibrate rapidly and scare the hell out of most people who see it.

I can lick my nose. :p

I can do Agent Smith from The Matrix series. I can also get any cat to come to me. I can communicate with my dog by barking, howling, etc. I don't understand what he says but he barks back lol. I can do the same with my cat (before she passed away). Hmmm, I can identify any aircraft just by looking at it. Thats about it.

try last pic but legs split and crutch touching floor.

i can make an audio oscillator sound like a duck being sodomized with a broomstick.

i'm a musician :)

So, more or less yes, seiza. It's the traditional Japanese way of sitting. A more in depth explanation of seiza can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiza).

I can lick my nose. :p

So can I!! how amazing is that?

I can also encourage a pre teen boy to do his homework and clean his room by using threats of video game loss.

I like pizza.

My legs bend backwards. Like, a lot. I can't quite walk like an Ostrich, but close.

I can twist my legs so that my feet face backwards. Only one foot at a time, though.

Chances are, someone else in the world will have the same talent, so theoretically, it wouldn't be "special" (especially Eutrusca's. A LOT of people have that talent :p )

Mine would be my creativity. I'm not particularly superb at what I make, but I can draw rather well, paint small plastic things in detail, create intense backgrounds for my stories, computerized models, scripting (in the NWN toolset, at least), and so forth. I think the broad scope of my creative ability is what makes me special.

I can bend both of my elbows backwards.....I can touch my toes to the floor while I'm sitting with my legs straight in front of me and flat on the ground....I can also fit my whole fist in my mouth....and I am an artist.

clovers,CLOVERS,Clovers,CLOVERS

Rainman ain't got poop on me when it comes to four leaf clovers....
Ever since I was a kid I can just see them in the patch.....
What's pathetic is that now I only look for 5+ leafers....
What's more pathetic? I have a whole picture frame of 5 leaf ones on my desk....
And the most pathetic thing is that on my 30th birthday this year I found a six leafer.....

You'd be amazed how fast the sight of a 6'2", 300 pound, bald, pierced, alternative highschool social studies teacher picking clovers on his planning period causes some folks to call the school :rolleyes:

umm... not much. out of all the people i've known i've always been able to beat them without much effort at strategy games (and Monopoly!)

plus i definatley had a talent for a-level economics (99% in the first year, less the second cos i didn't revise, or work - still about 80% tho :D)... i kinda guess that counts
only i wish it continued through to degree-level economics! :headbang:

Ever since I was told they were good luck , I could just see them in the patch.
I'm 30 and a teacher and I have a framed picture on my desk with half a dozen FIVE leaf clovers (cause 4 leaf ones are too easy)

This year on my 30th birthday I found a 6 leaf clover and it proved 3 things to me...

1. My friends are all correct, I AM one lucky SOB.
2. The older I get, the more I rely on my luck.
3. Relying on luck probably isn't very wise.

I can suck on my own nipple. :D
I'm speshull.

would make me speshull too since i can do that also.

I play Spanish guitar and sing latin-American folk songs.

My talent is that I can do any move with a basketball

I can stop an electric fan with my tongue and pound a nail into my face.

Anybody know any freakshows that are hiring?

Are you Irish Leftfoot?
Because you spelt Thread like the Irish say it!http://67.18.37.14/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Useless information.
Backwards rolls in swimmind pools
Bowling out International Cricketers!

i can do that! I can also carry things with my boobs, and i don't just mean between them but on them too, it's quite handy

and also i never lose at naughts and crosses! and I'm quite talented at Scrabble too!

Not sure I follow. Do you mean seiza style, like this:

No - like doing a split, but with both knees fully bent, and the insides of my feet against my rear end.

I can cause my eyes to vibrate rapidly and scare the hell out of most people who see it.
Hey, I can do that too! I have to put something very close to my face first, to go a bit cross eyed, then they just shake like nuts!

So can I!! how amazing is that?

Oh good, bribing children with technology way cool!
And I am glad to hear someone else can lick their nose as well. :p

I havent lost a single game of Connect 4our in 10 years!
Mind you i havent played in 10 years....

But im good real good.

I had a friend with the appropriate nickname of Boobies...
He could suck his own nipples.
In Summer he was our shade
In Winter he kept us warm with all his fat. :)

Great guy.

Nice. hehe.

I'm pretty good at forcing draws in noughts and crosses if I make a boo-boo (which occasionally happens when I'm distracted. I can also sing and play guitar, though I'm certainly not the only one with those talents.
