Your 1 thing...

share a skill or talent you have that you are best known for that is not related to your work.

i'll start. this is a talent i've had since i was a kid. i call it my flexy straw imitation. if you are familiar with the soda cups with lids that they have in mcdonalds and most fast food restaurants, you know the sound of sliding your straw up and down in the lid (if not, try it next time you're there). it makes a kinda of squeaky "nails on the chalkboard" sound. i do that without a cup - just my voice/throat. that's my thing.

:)

I can ride a unicycle.

I think. It's been awhile.

And I can talk with the helium voice without the helium.

I do the "My name is Bobby..." Howie Mandel impression.

File under "Things you figure out when you're bored":

I can write upside-down and backwards in cursive. (meaning if you were sitting across from me, I could write "Jim Carrey" starting with the Y and ending with J so you could read the paper without me spinning it around.) I can also write in mirror image so if you hold the paper up to a mirror you could read it. I like to do it at parties when everyone's screwed up. It really freaks their freak! :lol:

Jealous, no! Skeptical....

....no I guess I believe you.

Congratulations on your superpower. It's important for everyone to poo. Especially babies, I would imagine.
