Cheerfully enough, your Master of Ceremonies can also juggle.

No foolin’.

And a little guitar and some stand up comedy…

Where’s the spotlight! I want to check my blocking!

I can wrestle some women and win underhandedly to retain my World Intergender Wrestling Championship while offering to marry any woman who can beat me.

Or, failing that, I can read The Great Gatsby aloud.

I can…no, wait, last time I did that I threw out my back.

Oh wait! I know! I’ll…no, can’t do that either. Last time I tried that, it ended up being outlawed in 17 states.

Um, I know I’ve got a talent here somewhere. I’ll get back to you. 😃

I can do cartwheels.

I can play the recorder, sing pirate transvestite songs, and juggle. Not all at the same time, of course. That would be weird.

Well, I play a slightly annoyed saxophone, a fairly vexed tin whistle, and a just plain pissed-off piano.

Plus I’ll design the programs and get them printed.

oho ohhhhh, I juggle with the best of 'em. Five balls, 7 if I’m outside and can throw high enough.

I can also walk on my hands (feet in the air style)

I also can turn my tounge upsidedown[sub] maybe this will finally get superdude to flirt with me [/sub], but that’s typically reserved for the SO… ah, heck, anything for the SDMB

Do I get to wear my Mime costume?? (yeah, i admit it. I used to be one of those…please forgive me… i was in college… money was tight…)

Okay, I can tap dance. Would a tap dancing stripper be TOO tacky?

Well, I play an extremely dissappointing trumpet. Maybe we could all get together and form the SD jazz band. Can you paly the sax and the piano at the same time 😉

Hey, where will this be held? Does someone have a hall for rent? Could **Scylla** loan us a barn?

Alas, I have no talents to contribute, unless someone wants to set up an MST3K-style movie room. I’m fairly good at mocking crappy movies.

Like that’s really a big deal. One of my male friends can do that 😛

I used to be excellent at crab-walking, although ACL surgery and two years of college may have hurt that ability a little. Looks like it’s time to start training…
