What is your super special talent?

Writing stupid questions and crazy answers.

I can read your mind.
You like men.

I can grunt like a pig. It’s of remarkably little use in my daily life.

I can spot a misplaced apostrophe at 50 yards, without even squinting (even though occasionally it turns out to be a dead gnat).

^ That made me check my apostrophe.

I just checked the apostrophe in @longgone‘s question, too!

@longgone Sorry I have to ask, why would you want to grunt like a pig? Or are you squeaking or squeeling?

I can balance an umbrella on my finger tip for as long as I like. I can even walk and run while doing it.

Shopping. I have an amazing ability to find a bargain on almost anything, almost anywhere, at any time. Anything from $250 jeans for $4 to a $10,000 plate for $10. I use my special talent to help clothe nearly a dozen people, and at times I’m supplementing the food of 6–12 households. I have friends that invite me shopping, because I make it so much fun.

I’m an amazing editor, too, believe it or not. I just hate proofreading my own words and find myself squealing with dismay when I re-visit the question, more-than-10-minutes later.

Packing. Gift-wrapping. Opening champagne bottles.

I make amazingly tasty pie crust.

I make brownies that are out of this world.

And I can usually tell how someone is reacting to something.

@gailcalled I first read your answer as “with out even squirting.”

@Adirondackwannabe It’s not something I practised. I discovered I was able to create an unusual sound when I was about five. At five, something like that is exciting :D

That made me laugh. We always raised a couple of pigs most of the time. So I know what a talent that must be that you have. :)

I can recite the alphabet backwards in under 5 seconds. A totally useless skill.

I had a couple of fraternity brothers that could burp the alphabet, but I don’t think they ever tried backwards. We should start building a resume of unique skills.

I’m a speed-reader & I connect deeply with most animals.

Having an extremely quick mind and being able to zing out snappy comebacks and humorous retort to just about anything.
Other than that I can drive in subconscious mode, on auto pilot with cruise control. lol

I can pour soda or beer in a glass extremely quickly without it fizzing over. (waitress skills)

I am a speed cook and can make many kinds of foods fairly well. No dawdling in the kitchen for me. And, like @KNOWITALL I think I’m a speed reader too.

@Aster I average a book a day, and seek out the thicker ones so I don’t go through so many, it’s such a problem I had to get rid of all but my favorites, which are still considerable….lol

@KNOWITALL I solved my book storage problems by either borrowing the book from the library or reading it in electronic form. Since I always have my phone with me, I don’t have to worry about carrying around reading material.

@Juels Yeah it works for some I guess. I just really like the real thing, and my co-workers and friends all swap books.

For some reason I feel pressured with library books, like ‘read these three books by April 1st’, some kind of commitment-phobia or something…lol

@KNOWITALL I’m at the library so often that I don’t worry about it. I know I’ll finish the book way before the due date. Plus, I could renew the items online. My library also lends electronic books. I figure I’m doing my part for the environment and it much easier to store and locate books. Oh well, my hubby prefers regular books too. Luckily, he doesn’t read as much as I do.

@KNOWITALL I meant I read fast. I don’t read or even average a book a day. How could I do Facebook and fluther and read that much?

Some people refer to me as the cat whisperer.

@syz
Does not beat my title of cat seducer.

@syz: Make that the big-cat whisperer.

@ragingloli, Yes, delicious! HA!

@gailcalled Not so use’less, but mus’t be a terrible’ nuisance t’o you. tee’ hee.

@Coloma I love your wit!

@Aster speed cooking?! There’s a talent I sure wish I had.

@ibstubro Holy cow! I need you with me when I’m getting my daughter’s school clothes!

@ragingloli Do you have a barbed penis?

@syz
several.

@syz, why do people call you the cat whisperer?
@Juels, I’ve tried to do that, I can’t do it in an hour, let alone fast!
@KNOWITALL, I too have a knack with animals.
@ragingloli, okay, ewwww!

I can balance brooms on my fingertips and switch to my palms. I can also balance chairs.

Why human penises no longer have spines

humans are just a massive collection of genetic defects. it borders on miracle that you even breathe

@ragingloli But some humans are more defective than others.

I agree with @janbb I have no genetic defects, a great mind and a good heart, no blanket statements allowed.

My special talent is…shit. Nothing I guess.

I’m a writer, a poet, a genius, I know it. I don’t buy cheeba. I grow it.

I can write cursive backwards, just about as fast as I can write it frontwards. Then you hold it up to a mirror, and you can read it. I didn’t learn it or practice it, I just tried it once when I was about 14. It was easy.

@Skaggfacemutt Cool. Do you use the same hand when you write backwards? If I use my left hand, I can mirror the actions of my right hand. However, it isn’t very legible.

@Juels

Same here. I can do that if I use my right and left hands simultaneously.

@Blondesjon You….did…not….say….that…..lol, hilarious!

I have developed a talent that aggravates my students: I can spot whether an essay is in proper MLA format within a few seconds of leafing through it—from the heading and font to the works cited page. It’s not terrifically useful outside of work, but it does save me time while grading.

I’m also a goose whisperer. lol
Horses too….blow in their nostrils as a greeting. :-)

This
Started my day today by doing the Trash Compactor Boogie with my two-year old grand daughter!

I can recognize when the timeline is altered.

I can mirrorwrite too, but right handed only. I tried simultaneous once. It was a disaster.
I can read any-which-way; backwards, mirror, upside down. I can also read prescription hand.

Oh, used to be I could read up-side down almost the same as right-side up.

I mirror-write with the same hand (I am right-handed) and it looks just as neat as my frontwards writing, maybe a little more rounded.

I see the future as it will actually be.

I was dead on with those those cages at the fair where people sit on a seat above a pool of water and you throw softballs at a target. When you hit the target it drops the seat and dumps them in the water. Took me a long time to play all three balls, cuz I always had to wait for the person to climb out of the water and get back on the seat again. After the 2nd time they understood that it was no lucky accident on my part!

@kritiper Are you a psychic or you playing?

With all this special talent maybe @jca and I should start our own circus.

My thoughts exactly, @LuckyGuy I hadn’t mentioned it because I thought brainiacs like the two of you would find starting a circus beneath you. Don’t forget my bullwhip stunts. I would be a great lion tamer.
Anybody good at riding horseback in a bikini? @ragingloli?
@Coloma will be a clown of course.
Anybody else?

Making little kids laugh.

<———Knife thrower.

@Dutchess_III <—- making big kids laugh.

<—————An arrow poking in my eye.

@Dutchess_III Wasn’t me, although we have a cool crossbow…lol

Check it out, some dude getting shot in the head by a crossbow.

Check it out! I just shot @Symbeline!

@KNOWITALL I am very realistic, that’s all. I see what mankind and Mother Nature are dishing out now and draw logical conclusions. (Anyone can do it!)

@Dutchess_III You shot from below. You hit her right in the ass. She’s going to be pissed. I don’t want to be you.

I don’t think you want to lead the thread in that direction, @Adirondackwannabe. NSFW.

@ibstubro That’s one of my special talents. I’m a natural leader, just in ways others don’t usually tread.

@Adirondackwannabe Get thee behind me!

Wait! How stoopid would THAT be??

@ibstubro That was different. Why did the cat do that?

Under the comments, “The owner said “ear infection.” ”

I checked the comments. That was my first guess.

I thought it better’n Pee Wee Herman.

What the hell we talking about? And I just got a threatening text from @Symbeline. :( I’m tellin’ Judge Judy.

You play with bow and arrows, someone always gets hurt. Now, quick, @Dutchess_III, fetch @Symbeline a scissors!

No! She’ll stab me with them!!

Not if you run fast enough while you fetch them!

I’m extremely flexible for a guy. I can contort my body, especially my legs, into crazy positions. I can sleep in the most odd positions too.

@Mimishu1995 Your questions and answers are not stupid. Don’t let others bring you down on here. I really enjoyed your question about ghosts.

@Paradox25 then you can think I’m expressing Eastern-style modesty :)

Too bad, I already got the scissors. Baahaha!

8<

…not very threatening looking, okay I admit…

I can throw a playing card and draw blood.
I can make myself hallucinate like crazy without drugs.
...and the last one is NSFW

Then, by all means, we MUST know! (Creepy, expectant sneer)

Ok~…but seriously, really N.S.F.W!

My fingers are magic, and I can make any girl squirt in under 30 seconds.
If there’s one out there who I can’t, I haven’t met her yet.
100% success rate with vouchers. lol~

Sigh. (Memories of a carpenter once cast aside, now affectionately remembered.)
