Oi, naming our talents is meant to make us feel good and special so be nice.

I can sleep for longer than most people......

That's not special.
I can dislocate your shoulder.

I've been known to sing a few songs at a sing song and even do recitations. Unfortunately they are dying a bit now, but a good Irish sing song is hard to beat. Karaoke without having the words in front of you, but in your memory, and some great songs that you never hear, not just the old favourites that we can all sing along to.

I can sing well enough, fit my entire fist in my mouth, do the Elvis lip curl, but probably my weirdest 'talent' if you could call it that is the ability to lift eggs with my teeth and not break them (amazing what you'll discover). I can transfer 6 from one box to another without getting egg on my face. Useless, useless ability tbh!

I can play the whole song "No limits" by 2 unlimited on my throat by opening my mouth in a certain way and flicking just above my adams apple. Its highly entertaining, and I would guess potentially dangerous. I can also make long annoying high pitched noises by forcing air out of my ears at high speed.

Donegal Lass · 01-03-2007 09:28AM

dont you sound a treat to be around??:D

tallus · 01-03-2007 11:12AM

I can sing. Draw, paint, can't dance for ****e, I can dislocate both of my thumbs, double jointed in a few places. Can't write or act heh. I attached 2 of my sketches, it's a while since I sketched at all .

metaoblivia · 01-03-2007 05:58PM

I'm medically diagnosed as hypermobile, and growing up I did rhythmic gymnastics, so I became really freakishly flexible. Rhythmic gymnastics is a kind of talent, too, I guess.

andrew · 01-03-2007 07:15PM

I can trun my eyelids inside out with the flick of a finger

i can touch my elbows behind my back (give that one a try ladies

)

and i can debate, and am pretty good at english.

Cant draw or dance worth a shite tho

slipss · 01-03-2007 07:33PM

I'm not sure if any of these things would be classed as talents but,

I can tell the weight of things to within 0.1 of a gram with around a 99% hit rate just by holding them.

Using only one hand and nothing else I can remove and light all the matches in a matchbox one by one in under 60 seconds.

I can speak fluently backwards, like Regan in The Exorcist, have been able to since I was about 9 or 10.

I can do that thing where you roll a two euro coin across your knuckles repeatedly pretty quick.

I can roll a 2(3) skinner hash joint from scratch in about 25 seconds.

I can volley a football presumably non-stop with out dropping it swaping from foot to knee to head to shoulder ect, the most I ever counted myself doing was about 1500 and then I just stopped, but I'm pretty sure I could do over 10,000 if I had any reason to.

I can ehh disasemble a pint glass fairly quicky only using my teeth.

And I can smoke a whole smoke without the ash falling off of it.

Thats about it, all extremely useless, now if I could only figure out a way to do all those things at the same time, I'm pretty sure I could make a few quid on Graffton Street.

free2fly · 01-03-2007 08:25PM

I'm a decent photographer. I'm a great cook. I can crochet. And I can talk in this really weird deep voice. Oh, and I'm a pretty good shot with a .22

Insect Overlord · 01-03-2007 10:54PM

gaelic football goalkeeper extraordinaire, and I've also been known to do a bit of writing

. I play the guitar too, but I'm by no means talented at it (by comparison to slash, hendrix, brian may, etc...)

Faith · 01-03-2007 11:19PM

I'm fluent in french and can hold a pretty good conversation in Spanish (a language I've never studied)...when drunk. Eh, no seriously, I'm pretty good at learning languages, when I want to. I can read at a ridiculously high speed. I can apply liquid eyeliner flawlessly. I can remember the most inane and random facts. Some people claim I'm a good singer, but I don't believe them. I think I can act.

GerryRyan · 01-03-2007 11:26PM

Photographic memory, my only braggable talent - kinda sad really

Other than that I play guitar, bagpipes and harmonica and can kinda hold a note.

01-03-2007 11:33PM

I can masturbate three... no ... four! times a day. Does that count as a talent?

Erm, I.. think .. I'm a good writer. I like to dabble in almost every genre possible. It's more fun that way.

What else? Oh. I can forget things really easily.

Pighead · 01-03-2007 11:39PM

Pigheads crap at everything so I'm gonna have to claim my sisters talent as my own. She's a bit like Rainman.

If you said to her "Hello my name is Pighead and I love to frolic through the meadows during the long summer evenings. Making daisy chains makes me smile"

109 letters she'll say in a flash. Don't know how she does it (maybe shes a bit autistic) but she counts up those letters quicker than a pentium processor.

Ruu_Old · 01-03-2007 11:47PM

Pighead has a great voice for singing, very much like Celine Dion! :eek:

Katykaboom · 02-03-2007 08:08PM

I freak my friends out with my weird catching skills. I catch things no matter how awkaward/fast the throw is. Just yesterday I caught a mandrin orange my brother threw at me... the thing is I was actually facing the other way and I didnt even know what direction it was coming from. I put my hand behind my head and I caught it. The only warning I had was him roaring "HEADS". I actually freak myself out hehe. I must be sober though.

coyote6 · 02-03-2007 09:43PM

Bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, ninja skills..............Gawwsh!

cooker3 · 03-03-2007 01:38AM

I can multiply numbers rather fast.
This comes trying to figure out if license plate numbers are prime or not. How bored was I as a child!

copacetic · 03-03-2007 01:43AM

I can instantly tell when people are lying, not as useful as you may think as everyone lies all the feckin time.

Not many of you lot above are covering yourselves in glory by the way

Ruu_Old · 03-03-2007 01:53AM

I can remember a serious amount of credit/debit account numbers, expiration dates and security codes in my head, even if the account is 10 years old and doesn't exist anymore, it is still stuck in my head.

It is useful at times though otherwise, worthless.

Voodu Child · 03-03-2007 03:45AM

I can hammer a 4" nail straight back towards my brain through my nose (saw it on tv as a kid and tried it :eek: ), hold my breath for about 4 minutes, and slow my heart down by about half by relaxing a bit (proved it in a first aid course where they showed is how to take a pulse).

Havent found a use for any of them yet... :rollseyes:

Dr. Loon · 03-03-2007 05:59AM

I'm a good drummer, I also speak every language that exists. I have the ability to hypnotise in an instant, I can "float" at will. i AM quite sIMPLY a genius, therefore I can tell you that 90% of the people on this thread are full of shít!

PS - I also hold the key to everlasting life.

coyote6 · 03-03-2007 09:56PM

Oh I forgot "Numchuk" skills too.

6th · 28-11-2007 03:46PM

I am bumping this thread because of the upcoming Boards.IeDOL (see my sig) ... and because its a good thread.

Don't ban me ... its for charity!
