I have no hidden talents either

Can’t play Raindrops…, can’t fit my fist in my mouth, can’t stop my hiccups at will, I can roll my tongue and taught myself to raise one eyebrow, and do that stupid star trek thing. But nothing to win me a trip either. THe little girl I babysit, who is almost three can impersonate pretty much any sesame street characters voice to a tee. It’s hilarious, she doesn’t even realize how unique that is. She will be playing with her dolls and out comes the voices. It is so freaking hilarious! I get a fit of giggles everytime.

I tried it…I can’t play my teeth. I’ll have to have you demonstrate Erica.

Brad, you forget about your bird imitation (caw-caw caw-caw!). And if you ever are up for the cash prize, just show ‘em your wingspan. That’ll win ya something.

Jason, I only wish I could stop my hiccups at will. I’ve tried everything!

I can stop my hiccups at will.
That’s all I can do.

I don’t have a hidden talent either, babe. So don’t feel bad. We can both be put on the spot.

Though if a camera was put on me, I’d try really hard to do something with my body in the 5 seconds they were looking at me!

I bet you can play “raindrops keep fallin on my head” on your teeth too, because i just tried it, and it worked. Keep trying if you havent already. Use your right hand and the notes with your first finger towards the right side of your mouth will be lower than the left side of your mouth to be hit with your middle, and ring finger.
*sigh* i have too much time on my hands.
I can flip people off with my middle toe.

I can sometimes see the pictures, but only after a lot of work and concentration. I don’t that’s gonna win me the free trip!

yay, i have a hidden talent that makes me look slutty.

i looked it up on a useless facts website and it said 64% of the population can roll their tongues. other pages had higher percentages. … also, more girls can do it than boys. though i’m sure that doesn’t make you feel better, i found it interesting.

can you, by chance, see those hidden picture things? i sure can’t.

I just made that statistic up, but I bet it’s close!

So you’re saying that only 11% of the population can’t roll their tongue? What the hell is wrong with me.

Uh yeah. Lindsay, both Brad and I tried it and neither of us came close. That, my friend, is a talent. Good job!
