Hidden/unique talents?

[rachelsedge]

I have a few, though I don't know how unique they are.

- I can imitate the sound of one of those screeching bottlerocket firecrackers.
- I can keep one eye crossed and the other straight
- I can imitate cat sounds. Mews, meows, yowling, even purring. Sometimes I'll make sounds at my kitten and she'll just stare at me and tilt her head. I'm probably insulting her.

Now it's your turn to post yours so I don't feel so strange.

 

[zaoman32]

I can shadow people like nobodies business.

 

[Ritter]

That will be useful in the post-apocalypse when we will have to find creative means of warding off giant irradiated mice.

1. I can be a decent orator. My general demeanor is fairly recluse, but put me in front of people and ask me to inspire or teach a concept, and I can do it with relative ease. It surprises some who know me, but not others.

2. I can wiggle my ears.

3. Over the summer I learned I'm actually a decent marksman. I took a handgun safety class in Colorado after only having fired handguns once prior, but at that time I was so intimidated I didn't fire more than maybe 20-30 shots out of a Walther P 22 and a Beretta 9mm two years prior. That and the people I was hanging with brought their own guns and I didn't bother renting, so I didn't want to muscle in on them.

Well, as it turns out I was performing so well that the instructor thought I had been firing for years and was just reacquainting myself with the gun. Not the case. I was as green as a cucumber.

4. Some tell me I can sing. I beg to differ.

 

[Hellooo]

I can identify any pitch by ear, without a point of reference.

I can wiggle just my nostrils.

And you have more guts than I. Since this was the only talent I could think of, I was afraid to even mention it...

I knew it had the possibility of becoming handy someday!

Perhaps the ones that aren't deterred by my menacing yowls can be ones that you shoot with your exceptional gun skills.

This thread could be re-titled "How will you help the human race survive after the apocalypse". Zaoman's shadowing can help us figure out who would make a helpful new recruit, and Hellooo's pitch identifying could help determine whether it's a group of undead people in the distance or simply a herd of sleepy cows.

Apparently another hidden talent of mine is completely derailing threads. ^^

 

[Jullianna]

I can make my eyeballs roll around in complete circles

I can make a very loud champagne cork popping sound by turning my lips inside out and blowing really hard...no fingers

I do a great cartoon buzzard impersonation (not a great first date thing to do I've found...some people are soooooooooooo serious )

I make great monkey and fish faces

And I wanna go shooting with Ritter and NukePooch

 

[LightningClap0002]

Oh wait, beyond uh 'shadowing', I also can make a popping sound with my tongue that is several times louder than what most people can do.

 

[JimJimmers]

I went lawn bowling one time, and won a relative landslide against people who had played before. I haven't picked up a bowl since, I wonder if I still have it...

I can often predict what will happen next in a movie, although this is more of a curse than a blessing.

I can charm almost any woman over the age of 50. Not the age range I would have picked, but hey, who shall contest with God?

I can figure out how other people's cars work. How to recline the seats etc. This talent is handier than it sounds, especially for someone who must often load large items into cars. Turns out a lot of people don't know how to operate their own cars!

 

[NukePooch]

And I wanna go shooting with Ritter and NukePooch

Sounds like fun. I'm not all that good (I generally hit what I'm aiming at, but I'm not a bullseye shooter), so I make up for it in sheer volume of lead sent downrange. I was at the range a couple weeks back, and some brand new shooter made a comment about how 'the guy next to us is trigger happy'. Yeah, well, I shot a bunch of rental guns and had a huge cheesy grin plastered on my face so yeah...trigger happy.

Other talents?

I shop in the big and tall stores for being both big and tall. I, however, have a talent for being completely unseen and unheard around other people. I am basically a 'fly on the wall'. I've actually been in a room where people were talking about me, and they never knew I was there. Works pretty good for backstage and techie work. Also works great for scaring people out of years of their life when they turn around and scream because I'm right behind them.

I'm not quite sure if it falls into either the 'talent' category, but I generally like to be prepared for whatever...I carry tools and stuff with me and on me everyday...and use them on a regular basis. I wonder how people function without having a knife, pliers, scissors, flashlight, etc, with them...

 

[Ugly]

My hidden talent is i can be so direct it offends people... oh wait........

 

[Jullianna]

I want ^this talent^

 

[arwen83]

Hm.. I'm really having a hard time coming up with a talent

I don't think I can say that I can do something out of the ordinary

 

[Ugly]

I want ^this talent^

Nah, you're too nice for that. Stay the way you are. Let the ugly people do the ugly jobs =P haha

 

[shawntc]

- I have advanced social awkwardness skills.
- I can debate for and against Christianity to a greater level than most. (Not sure how that helps me, though...)
- I have a lot of things I specialize in - Minecraft, programming, writing, theology, and so on.
- According to a test I once took, I can understand the emotions behind facial expressions better than the majority of people. As per this test, the average skill was higher for women than men, but I scored even higher than the women.

 

[PopClick]

I can bend all the way over backwards, put my palms on the floor, stay that way for as long as I like, and then stand back up again without using anything for support.

I can kick Chuck Norris.

I can sew jank together to make clothes or soft sculptures, without using patterns. The patterns just live inside my head. I've entered two small fashion contests. The first one, I killed... first place. The second one, I didn't even make the finals.

I'm really good with animals. People constantly remark about how much calmer their own pet is when it's around me.

I kill wasps and stinging insects with my bare hands. I don't think it's all that special (you just have to slap them really quickly), but it makes other people gasp/scream/jump etc. I also shoot spiders off the ceiling with deadly accuracy, using a rubber band. It's like I can't miss. 0.o

 

[NukePooch]

Hmmm...reading the last post, I wonder why this just popped into my head?

 

[christiancollegegirl]

Move along, nothing to see here. Just an ordinary person with no hidden talents whatsoever.

 

[Powemm]

I can split the end of an arrow by shooting another one into it with a bow
Sniper accurate with a gun
Can fly fish with both hands
Can write with both hands
I can hear your voice one time , pick you out of a room without ever seeing your face just by listening to you talk..
That's about it

 

[zeroturbulence]

I'm good at predicting the stock market and the economy.
