    Ditto. Left eyebrow only. Rolling the tongue I can do too.

    Aye they are genetic traits.

    Can raise the right eyebrow, which is great. The tongue, no, but meh. Ye can raise the eyebrow during a conversation, but ye can't stick out your tongue, unless you're a 10 year old.

    Can raise my left eyebrow, can't roll my tongue.

    I can't do any of that.

    I can be exceptionally loud though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I can't roll my tongue the normal way, but I can roll it sideways. My family thinks it's extremely weird when I do it.

    I can raise both eyebrows at the same time, and I can raise the left one on it's own. Can't do the right one on it's own though :confused:

    I've only got one eyebrow....

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You managed to get me to raise my eyebrows :pac:
    Oh and very.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Can raise one eyebrow (the left) but I tend not to as it makes me look like a rapist. Weird thing is, when I was younger I could raise my right eyebrow but no the left


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭TeletextPear


    I can't roll my tongue the normal way, but I can roll it sideways.

    i can do that too!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Roll tongue; yes

    Raise single eyebrow; No



    Semi OT: can anyone wiggle their nose? Only ever met one person that could do it...thought she was taking the piss till she showed me. Funny as hell.

    Same, especially at night.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,213 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    Can raise left eyebrow singly. Right with difficulty. Can roll tongue into tube / sideways wave thing. Can also bend fingers backwards 90 degrees.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz

    Of course you can. How do you like your tapwater?

    Is it true that anyone can teach themselves to wriggle their ears if they stare at a live video of their ear for ten minutes? Anyone want to test my theory and get back to me?

    can you touch your elbows behind your back?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    Yes.

    But no human should be able to lick their own elbow.

    Incidentally, I lolled at the thought of hundreds of boardsies getting weird looks as they raise eyebrows, stick their tongues out and try to lick their elbows staring at their PC.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Poccington


    Out of everything that was mentioned in this thread..... I can't do any.

    I shall go fetch a noose now, to end my sorry excuse for a life. :(

    hehe partly why i started the thread :pac:
    i thought it was impossible to touch your elbows behind your back, and wasjust a way of gettin girls to flaunt their boobs???

    that would probably be for the best

    Nonsense. Copious amounts of alcohol is a much better solution.

    I can only raise my right eyebrow. Hmm, I feel a bit odd now that everyone else only seems to be able to raisetheir left!

    Can't roll my tongue though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    I blame Jigsaw for the whole event (bit of an in-joke around here)


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,555 ✭✭✭tSubh Dearg


    I can roll my tongue and touch my nose with it. Not so hot at raising my eyebrows singly though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    I can roll my tongue and touch my nose with it.

    I find that very attractive in a woman.

    :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭The Artist


    i can lift my eyebrows and roll me tongue
    *trying to push eyebrows up and down with me fingers*
    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 709 ✭✭✭tracker-man


    after trying so hard for a number of weeks a few years ago, I learned how to raise each eyebrow! :D I can roll my tongue also, but only to the right for some reason. And last but not least, with little effort I can wiggle my ears ever so slightly without touching them or cheating of course!!! lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Can roll my tongue and raise right eyebrow. My left eyebrow wont budge. Damn botox!
