Well,since this seems to be a trend in the forum,I'll start a new thing in the forum.

What's a talent that you randomly have and no-one,perhaps even yourself,would expect from you?

I can actually rap.Really well.That's saying something,since I've never lived in America(well,at least not in a black community or anything) and I'm asian.

I have a talent for making small explosive devices.
<_<

>_>

I have an amazing ability to be be extremely annoyed by words that suddenly make it into the popular vernacular for no apparent reason and are then repeated ad nauseum by nearly everyone on internet fora. Like 'random'.

I've... got a good sense of humour? Although that's not really random; it comes with the Asperger's, apparently.

Surviving massive loss of blood, it would seem.....

I play bagpipes

I have a magnificent moustache

Thats a good talent to have.


It's not really individual, but I seem to be able to think 3D better than a lot of people.

Well that really depends on what kind of blood she's losing....

Because it's only black Americans who can rap, isn't it? :rolleyes:

I have no talent that anyone who knows me to any decent degree would be surprised about.

I can juggle with two balls. Sometimes.

Seems that kids like me... dunno why. It's nice, since I like them too ;)

Er... mine?

True,but they are the majority.Most famous,actually good rappers are black americans.

Yes,I know about Eminem,the guys from Outlandish and Jin.But like I said,most.Show me a lot of other well-known examples and I'll change my viewpoint.

I know they're the majority. I'm not really into rap (at all), so I can't really show you any other examples, except Skinnyman (English rapper). My point was that you shouldn't make generalisations, especially if you know that it's wrong.

Hehe,I agree.Good times.:D

Um,well,it's not a generalisation.It's like saying,"Most people living in France speak French".It is true.I didn't say explicitly that ALL rappers must be black americans.I said that is the norm and that they are the majority,so most of them are black americans.

But yeah,let's not get into an arguement.Let's just agree to disagree,if we must.
;)

I can jump backwards and forwards over the line that separates genius and insanity at will.

i can play music on my teeth

My amazing talent is that I don't have to shave above the knees because my leg hair there is naturally blonde. Don't ask me why, because below the knees it is dark like my regular hair color. And I only mean on my legs, jokers.

Hey are you my wife? How the hell did you manage to get online?

I can stick out my tongue and touch my nose with it. Not that I do it much anymore, but the girls in my school used to ask me to do it all the time for some reason...

I have the astounding ability to discern the Aerosmith version of "Come Together" from the Beatles version just by hearing the first beat...!!
Other than that?
Pff. Drawing count?

Vanilla Ice. "Cookin' MCs like a pound of BACON!"

Augh I have a vendetta against Vanilla Ice.
Not that I don't have a vendetta against rap in general...but that one's a little more personal.

Surviving massive loss of blood, it would seem.....

I dont trust anyone who bleeds for three days(sometimes even five!!) and dont die:D

Hey are you my wife? How the hell did you manage to get online?
Do you stop her from using the Internet? Good idea.

Kids seem to like me. I think they can smell my laothing and unlikingness and try to make me snap. I'm not entirely sure though. I can also "flex" my nostrils, whistle like a bird and sing like a broken car (not at all, that is).

Does going in a violent fury count. I think punching bags are fun, :) well fun to hit anyway.

Nobody expects me to hit as hard as I do even if they just gave me a friendly hit either. Nobody, even me, expects that. I hit quite fast as well.

Ahhhh I guess I should learn to finish my sentances huh? .......without anysort of phone line at home?

I have that talent too!! :) comes in really handy some times.

I can turn women into lesbians. Not by dating them, no, it's nothing to do with poorly representing maleness. I merely have to THINK of asking a girl out, and suddenly she plays for the same team.

I used to be really good at proper hockey. Played for all the agegroups up to U17 at one of the top teams in Ireland as an automatic choice on right wing.

Got bored with it and stopped though.

I'm sure your wife is online more often than you think. Probably looking for a new husband. Better, faster, stronger...

Heheh than me? Naaa you jest! I umm hope!

Gyro-ring tricks come easily to me, although I am not Asian ;)

I have a talent for ... uh ... teaching. Yeah, that's it ... teaching! :)

I can manufacture small, harmless explosive devices and sea creatures do my bidding.

Heheh than me? Naaa you jest! I umm hope!

It's okay, you can always find a new wife on NationStates.

...oh wait, there are no women on the interweb. Sorry!

Ahhhh I guess I should learn to finish my sentances huh? .......without anysort of phone line at home?
Aah, that clears it up a bit. Still... *Makes mental note*

I can explode harmlessly at will and have naturally green hair.

Unless that's normal where you live.

I'm a good writer.

i'm apparently a good dancer - slightly flabby ginger people aren't supposed to be good dancers it seems cuz people always have a surprised tone in their voice when they say it. i also have a talent for getting roaring drunk and ending up in hilarious/precarious situations - although anyone who knows me doesn't find this surprising. it's also less surprising for people that my sister is discovering this talent as well. oo, and i can play my guitar behind my head. and i can wiggle my ears, i used to practice in front of a mirror when i was a kid.

I have that talent too!! :) comes in really handy some times.

Best.Talent.Ever!

Hell yeah, just thinking about fighting makes me feel like I could win a fight no problem, but I don't know how fast I punch, probably hurty speed! :D

Surviving massive loss of blood, it would seem.....

I fit in this category as well, but likely for different reasons.

I can stick out my tongue and touch my nose with it. Not that I do it much anymore, but the girls in my school used to ask me to do it all the time for some reason...

Hey, me too. Though I do it fairly often. It's kinda fun, even if I do have to wipe drool off my nose afterward.

I can pick up a full medium sized refrigerator and walk with it if Im mad and drunk and its unplugged

Im amazing at pogosticking. I can pogo stick with no hands down some steps (using the knees to grab the pole) and i can bounce off a two meter high wall.

When I was in the third grade (or somewhere thereabouts) we had an activity where everyone had to turn in a list of three random talents they had. The teachers then made a big list of the talents, and we had to go around and figure out who had which talents. The only reason I remember this at all is because I didn't want to get in the pool for swimming for weeks afterward, because of the person whose talent was being able to sneeze underwater. (Can't everyone do that? I've never tried, but I can't think of any reason it would be particularly difficult.)

I can't think of any peculiar talents that I have. Although I do seem to attract friends who are drunk dialers. Male, female, it doesn't matter, they all seem to enjoy calling me in the wee hours of the morning in order to make complete fools of themselves. :p I wake up to some very interesting voicemails from time to time.

I roll joints as smoothly, evenly, and as seamlessly as tailor-made cigarettes.

I can touch my nose with my tongue too. I can also fold it on it self front to back, then side to side to make a star shape with it.

I can crack walnuts in either hand.
I can ride a bike with no hands for miles.
I can hold my breath for a really long time.
I can recall things/solve problems in my sleep-I often wake up with answers or specific details to things that I couldnt while I was awake.

In almost 39 years, I've got many little interesting but trivial talents.

I can touch my toungue to my nose, and touch my bottom lip to my nose
(But obviously not both at the same time).

Although I am not sure if that is really more of a talent, or just an underbite.

I can fart a chord. With beans and broccoli and fierce muscle control I can do it in such a high pitch that it hurts dogs ears.

I can actually rap.
Thats not a talent. Rap is an abomination to all music.
"I can't stand rap....people who can't sing do rap....you can sing rebellion as well as talk it....Hitler would have been in a rap band..."
-John Entwhistle

My talent is insulting peoples talents and starting a massive war.

That's nothing. I started a massless war.

I can argue both sides of any issue. thus inableing me from truly choosing a side for any issue.

I can... umm... you know... do that... thing?

No, really, I can listen and comfort well, while also helping people with emotional problems... can get annoying sometimes, but worth it. Oh, and I can drink an entire large McDonalds Frozen Coke without feeling sick. THAT is a talent.

I can jump backwards and forwards over the line that separates genius and insanity at will.



Will you go out with me?


It doesn't matter if you are a guy as well.


:D

Do you blow up your gates with them?:)

I can translate French, English, Dutch, German, Greek Itallian, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish on my computer with ease. I'll later have Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, once I get the extensions.

I am great with a stop watch

I can do that. When no one is around.

Oh yeah, and I can do the voice of Doc Holliday from Tombstone really well..."five hundurd, must biya poych ova haynd..." "My deyer Ed, does thiyis meayn weey are naht freyens anymowre? 'Cause if I thought we weren't freyens, I just don't think Icoh bear it..."

:eek: Triple Post!!!

I have a long enough tongue to lick the tip of my elbow, which i heard was impossible...mm

I have many random talents. It all depends on which personality comes out to play...
;)

My bizarre and random talents are legion. To pick one at random, I can make a magical facial expression which makes small children happy. It's not a particularly silly facial expression, but if I aim it in the direction of a small child, within less than a minute, that child will be smiling. It's pretty handy.

(I should note that the Magic Face does have its limits - I can't cure massive screaming tantrums. But it's great for cranky toddlers who will clearly enter massive-screaming-tantrum territory within a few minutes.)

Oh, and I can also acquire medical conditions that are not technically supposed to be possible. Twice, so far. I'm a very minor footnote to medical history. :)

I'm sure your wife is online more often than you think. Probably looking for a new husband. Better, faster, stronger...


The Six-million dollar man?! Oh no... he died from old age:p

I have a very high tolerance for pain. Case in point, one time someone drop a very heavy steel item on my foot, (I wasn't wearing steel toe boots) and it barely hurt. Plus I've been through more surgeries than Michael Jackson.

Cats and Dogs seem to love me too. They always come to me for some reason.

i can command cats to do what i want

i can command cats to do what i want

lol.

i can command cats to do what i want

How so?Do you have a legion of cat troopers or something?I'm suspicous.

Cat troopers! Go my faithful leigon!
