I’ve got a knack for remembering numbers too. May I remember those Mr. Cynical, or do you not want to meet Mr. Nen? 
Sorry, Graeme, Mr. Sunshine got there first.
And Swiddles–did it sound like this?
“'Thwash wrillig, rand re withy roves rid ryre rand rimble in re rabe…”
I csan do dead-on imitations of Jean Harlow, Katharine Hepburn, Kate Smith, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Adela Rogers St. Johns.
I just tried this for one minute, and gave myself a headache.
My unusual talents? Hmmm…
I can’t think of anything that I can do significantly better than anyone else.
But on the other hand, I can’t recall a single time that I really wanted to do something but could not.
(except maybe that eyeball thing a minute ago)
Nen sez:
None Shall Pass.
Don’t you mean:
Nen Shall Pass.
Oh fine. Bring Heineken, Ritz Crackers, and mustard sardines. And make it 7:45.
LOL Mr. Cynical.
I started memorizing spelling in my 20’s and phone
numbers in my 30’s. Now I am great with e-mails.
I have this amazing hearing. As I tell people: If
you want to talk about me, wait till I leave.
I forget nothing, like some other posters. My brain
is full of trivia. People are dropped jawed when I
repeat word for word conversations we had 10 years ago.
I can type faster than an electric typewriter, and I
am amzing on a computer.
I can make toast.
Yup, that’s about it.

This I gotta see. Go on Eve, post like Garbo.
I’ve always wanted an odd little talent too. I can wiggle my nose and ears, but I didn’t know this was something most people can’t do! People often remark on my ability to lift one eyebrow, like it’s some kind of talent. I do it consciously and unconsciously. I’ve been told it’s intimidating.
(Hey Brunetter, between your letters and my eyebrow, we’re like Xena or something! Unconquerable!) LOL
D Marie – at one time I had two cell phones (mine and hubby’s) and was living in Frankfort and working here. So I had four phone numbers, counting my office, then a separate 800-number to call my office from home memorized. I thought my head was going to explode. :eek:
I don’t normally point out speeling miftakez, but did anyone else notice this?
My special talent is four-dimensional visualizations. I’ve been practicing it since I was about 7, and it comes in handy for a relativist.
I can make fun of people at the speed of light. Plus I make a good margarita.
I can play the musical saw. Not many do that anymore.
I can make my breasts cha-cha-chaa, which makes for an interesting first post I think . . .
Allow me to be the first to hit on…I mean welcome you to our lil’ fambly.
Sounds like fun. If I didn’t already have a sweetie, I’d have some digits for you to memorize, too. wink
I just thought of another dubious talent I have. Three times in my life I’ve stolen a shot glass by smuggling it out of the bar in my cleavage. Nobody knew I had it there. Not as impressive, perhaps, as Sunshine’s six pack, but I was quite proud of myself. I have also (in my teenage years, I’m over it now) developed a mini-reputation for kypping small things: a single chocolate candy, a tube of lipgloss, etc. Not exactly shop-lifting, but making small, inexpensive things vanish and reappear somewhere else. Admittedly, sometimes it was my house where it reappeared . . . I consider this a mostly harmless, fun skill but I don’t indulge it much anymore. I also like the reverse: to hide things. I hid a hard candy under the lid of my roommate’s deoderant for her to find, one in the toe of one of her socks . . . Actually, I don’t know if this is as much a talent as it is a hobby. I do have a whimsical streak.
Sunshine could just be an overweight middleage guy thats too lazy to get off the couch to get another beer.

Well, I am a jack of all trades. Can fix/repair most anything. Acquire new skills fast.

I have too good of a memory, for instance I can recall being in a place three years ago, I can remember the smell of the air, things around the room, my mood, whether I had a cold at the time, the tamber of voices…etc…it gets scary sometimes.

I play a mean guitar.
I can’t think of any others.
