Foo - Hidden/Secret Talent(s)

What are yours? Nothing x-rated, just honest to god, truly hidden talents that most people don't know about. Do you have one?

Go!

I can bake...nothing fancy like a cake but muffins/different loaves/bar cookies/brownies etc I can bake with ease.

I'm surprisingly good at skee-ball. :lol:

(Actually I may not be anymore. It's been years since I played.)

I cant bake but IM very good in the hot //in my harvesting days Iwas last man standing when it came to hot I really looked forward to feeling that trickle of sweat down my backbone:troll:/Kenneth

I can touch my nose with my tongue. That's all I got.

I have a huge assortment of random knowledge stuck in my brain.

I just licked my eyebrows. :innocent:

Go!

I have none. *sniff* That's right - zip, zilch, zero, nota one -- which I think makes me somewhat unique, in this regard.

Now, if only I could figure out a way to parlay this "non-talent" of mine into some kind of profitable venture. Unfortunately, so it seems, there are several in the entertainment business that have already stolen my idea, finding a way to market the, otherwise talentless and unmarketable, into profitable showbiz careers. Utterly remarkable.

I have a huge assortment of random knowledge stuck in my brain.
Oh yeah, I have a huge assortment of useless knowledge.

Actually, I remember numbers. Lots of them. I can tell you the drug code, off hand, of roughly 300 medications. I also know the IP address and computer name of roughly 200 PC's. Again, mostly useless knowledge.

I'm usually an exceptional speller.
I can knit a MEAN scarf.
I'm an excellent cook and never use recipes. Just my noggin.
I'm a classically trained lyrical soprano (as high as you can go), and originally went to OSU on an Opera scholarship. I couldn't make it through music school theory/instrument, but I still have the voice. Been thinking about whipping it back out again in the near future.
Because of this, I can pronounce almost any dialect/language.
I can drive a 6 speed manual, talk on the phone, turn left AND chew gum at the same time.
I can color inside the lines really well.

I forgot about my ability to pick up swear words in multiple languages. I can pick up other words but it's just more "funner" to learn the bad words first.

I can also find spelling mistakes in newspapers, books etc without thinking about it. Should come in handy in college, eh?

I am very good at gnome/pirate conversions.

You must be a God at carnivals etc.

I used to rack up at Showbi...er...Chuck E Cheese. :D

I have several hidden talents, and, as usual, they are going to remain hidden.

Oh, another talent I have is being able to answer almost any math problem in my head. Unfortunately, my answers are almost always incorrect.

That's confusing. I can't even do math on paper, which is why I am doing Science "lite" instead of real Science.

Apparently, upon retrospect - I have a hidden talent for getting into relationships with massively dysfunctional women.

Anyone want to swap talents? Anyone?

Trade that for my baking ability? I don't think so. However, I will beat you about the head to prevent you from hooking up with ho-bags, if that helps. :)

Interesting, my most developed talent is repelling women in every way. Perhaps we are related.

I have the ability to go deaf while a woman is whining about something.

The more I think about it the more secret talents I have. I'm and excellent scab and nose picker.

Actually, I believe that's in our male DNA. It is some sort of self preservation mechanism. ;)

See what I mean~! :roflmao2:

I have the ability to drop-kick salesmen and nail their sister.*nod*

I was trying to be helpful, unless you're implying I am like those freaks you like to date. :eek:

Hidden where they'll never be found, no doubt. :rolleyes:

Your offer to help includes physical abuse! Well, on second thought, physical is easier to spot up front. Ok, offer to help accepted. The only problem is... well I don't (haven't) date(d in awhile).

Dating is fun when you're young and free. Much less so when over 30 with the constraints of life. But that is off topic.

Back to hidden talents! Oh, I know... I can let my lawn grow longer than my neighbor's. :thumb:

That would be your lawn's talent.

I tried not to start dating after I got rid of le ball and chain but sometimes life doesn't go the way you planned.

I got free from my la balle et chaine about 11 years ago. Gave up on dating about 6. Leaves more money for bike purchases though. :)

My parents attempted to enroll me at a Hidden Talent School, when I was young, but the people at the school refused to give out the address.

*sniff*

There's a talent...French!

My ex husband told me I would be alone forever, or words to that effect, boy was he wrong. I was 33 and got asked out by a 27 year old, he asked me to be his GF on the first date. :eek: Been together ever since.

Is that because you beat him upside the head? :innocent: j/k

I will say this, older women (you know who you are) are a lot more interesting to be around. ;) Who wants a 20 something year old who's trying to figure who she is? Rather have an older woman who knows who she is. Now, if I can just get away from the craziness! :twitchy:

Let's see:

My hair grows about twice as fast as most people, which explains why it is white. :rolleyes:

I once sung in the Eastman School of Music, back when I could reach soprano range. Now I am luck to hit baritone. :lol:

I have no hobbies that are not profitable - probably explains too much about me. I seem to be able to take the most innocent hobby and turn it into a business or something. :p

I used to rock climb, but there is no rock here to climb.

I've got nothing, but my wife can spell backwards really fast, like as fast as you can spell forwards, on the spot.

I have the ability to keep myself, and others in the vicinity, warm in cold water.

Yeah, I'm a lot more focussed etc at 35 than I was at 25. My BF is 28 now and doesn't behave or think like a 28 year old. He has had to do some serious growing up in the past few years. Collective, naw, I didn't beat him upside the head, we hit a rough patch before but worked through it.

ETA: I forgot about my extreme perseverance. I'm one stubborn wench. It comes in handy :thumb:

I can eat a whole 12" pizza by myself.

I can make balloon animals. My repertoire is limited to dogs and giraffes, but the monkeys love it.

And...

I tap dance. Took classes for 10 years. Still have the shoes and break them out from time to time.

When I walk barefoot across a linoleum floor my feets shuffle out the rhythm of the Donovan song "Mellow Yellow." No lie. I should be on Ripley's.

I think you should ask for a grant from the ministry of silly walks

*Hey, Honey - try this one: "reeb"

....very good, now go get me one"*

*OUCH!...that hurt!......what? that means we're "PALS"?*

I can put my palm down on a stool and walk all the way around it without moving the hand???

I can balance a Milk Bone on my nose longer than my imaginary dog.

I love swivel-top barstools.

I am a good floral designer.

So how long does your imaginary dog stay on your nose, before falling off - usually? *Bow wow chicka wow wow*

Bigga meal facny cooking - that's me. Appetizers, big meals and after very cool - all with a splendid table effect - I am the hostest with the mostest!!

HOWEVER.

Baking. I do not do. I suck. I can manage a decent from-scratch cake - but BREAD?

<sob> I cannot do. I produce 10 lb hockey pucks.

Thought about a bread machine but it's another item on my shelf - and I'm a single person. Would have been nice when I lived with the ex husband.

Hmmm, wonder if they make mini ones .. I'd be up for that!

Other than that - big meals anyone? I used to cater.

you know how some people put a pen or pencil on their upper lip and hold it there?
well I can do it with my lower lip too :innocent:
