This is hard to describe, I lay on my stomach, bend my knees, then swivel my legs around and put my left foot in my left armpit and my right foot in my right armpit.
I can do old-english style calligraphy lettering
Translate Latin into a broken and stumbling form of English
and back in the day I could roll the best joint on the block…
hillbilly queen–as soon as I read your post, I couldn’t help it, I immediately thought of this. Perhaps your problem is that your husband is simply intimidated by your expertise!
Just joshin’ ya–you knew that right?
I can crack my jaw at will, make armpit noises, and write quickly and flawlessly in Germanic runes (used to write all my notes in them … really confused the one high school teacher who decided to collect our notes).
Actually, I learn all alphabets with incredible speed. I just forget them if I don’t use them much, which is why my Cyrillic, Greek, Braille, Ogham, Hieroglyphics, Heiratic, ASL fingerspelling and Druidic handspelling are a bit rusty.
I can throw a peanut M&M as high as you like (my daughter likes it if I hurl it as hard as I can), and catch it in my mouth.
I’m such a hypocrite. I mentally “tut-tut” these goofy Mostly Purile Sh-, er, Mundane Pointless Stuff topics as being, like, so totally non-intellectual, dude, y’know? So why do I enjoy posting to some of them so much?
I can crack virtually any joint in my body voluntarily, including: neck, back, hips, ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, and jaw. Interestingly enough, my fingers are harder to crack than these.
I, too, can flare my nostrils (and wiggle my ears).
I can say the “Betty Botter” tongue twister error free several times in a row (and very quickly). There’s actually a tape of me, somewhere, on that short-lived TV show America’s Funniest People reciting it.
I can recite all Kentucky Derby winners from 1970-present, in order, and in most cases can also name owner, trainer, jockey, and/or pedigree. I’d say that’s that most useless of my skills.
I can still remember how to sing the fifty states in alphabetical order. Anyone else recall “Fifty Nifty United States”, from junior high chorus class?
