NSG Talent Show

New Limacon

We'll see how this works...

Basically, users are invited to post any images, videos, or sound things (I forget what you call 'em) that display their talent. Like a real talent show, actual talent is not a prerequisite, but would be much appreciated.

Judging will be done by whoever feels like it. First prize receives one gabazillion* dollars, second receives half a gabazillion, third receives one fourth a gabazillion, etc.

* "Gabazillion" is equal to one-seventh of nothing.

This is me walking. I'm very good at walking, I do it every day. I feel I don't get the recognition I deserve for my walking.

In conclusion, green is my favourite colour.

Five thumbs up. Truly, some excellent work.

The camera angle is a little odd, though. This picture looks like it was a still in a surveillance camera video tape.

Who told you that? The police said that because I had been very helpful, it would never surface again.

As an addendum, it did not write any of the above, so you can't prove a thing.




Actually, my wife took the photo from the top of the steps.

I am a pilot and I can fly a Piper Cherokee 180 E.

This is a video of my first solo.

The part of the video was a little shaky, but the flying was good. (Probably. I don't know a thing about flying a plane, and see anyone who can get off the ground as more than a little magic. I'll assume you knew what you were doing.)

Like, hi! My name is Ruffy and my inspiration is to, like, be a good person and do good things that will please my country, my God, and my ego. I've always known my place in this world is to make others happy and so I do that by being pretty and exercising. My mom always tells me that I am supposed to make people happy like she does, but only I should receive tiaras and sashes, not money like she does. I guess she's a taxi cab driver, or something.

With my tiaras that sparkle, I've helped feed 4 Africans in the impoverished town of Camden, New Jersey. It makes me feel good when I can help those who've helped my ancestors harvest cotton in the old days. My mother tells me how they were so willing and happy to help at the family plantation in Georgia. It's time I thank them, so I've learned how to make fried chicken! Oh they do have such cute flat noses! I love helping them. It must have been a hard decision to leave their families in Africa and come to a country that doesn't speak their language, Eboinics.

Besides helping Africans, I spend my time taking photos and admiring how awesome I am. Photos, such as close ups, landscapes, and portraits such as of my dog. I one day hope to take photos of maps such as the Americas.

I'm an artist.

I sing.

I've started making films. I wish I could upload my short, but I don't have a tape deck at home, and it's not on DVD.
I paint and take photographs and do digital art.

I write.Cool!
Actually, come to think of it, i do a lot of those things too. o.9
I'm just incredibly selfish and exclusive in whom i share them with.
I don't do the art as much anymore - i actually started drawing up album covers for combinations of 149 songs/poems i came up with a while back, and i liked doing them in stamp size (there's a story about that) ... and then i worked more on music and voice ... and then instruments ... and then stopped doing poems and lyrics unless i was under some kind of strange influence ... which led me into writing my book, which i'm 233 (or so) pages into ...
and now i'm doing photography around a couple specific themes involving concepts that i didn't want to draw (or perhaps both in morph).
All kinda tied together.



OH, and I can do the splits!

The End.Classic. :D

That's great!

I'm probably nearly as flexible as you, but I don't have a very good back/neck, so I struggle getting my feet to touch my head.

Cool!

Classic. :D

Sounds good. My stuff all kind of ties together too, so I just say I'm an "artist", because that can mean anything.

It's true, too. :p Figure skating and dancing will do that to your body... Three years later and I just have a cool party trick.

Sounds somewhat familiar - 6 years of gymnastics and 5 years of martial arts essentially left ME with joints that snap (and when they don't i have less mobility) with nearly every step.
I think i like the party trick idea better. :p
