I would like to answer ‘pole dancing’ but that requires a pole. And legs.

But I can...

...still flex my pecs. I have retained my ability to flex one side and then another. Annoyingly impressive.

...pull my small finger back until the nail rests on the top of my hand. Really freaks out some people, some think it cool.

What can you do?

I can do a variety of.... interesting noises with my mouth.

these include a leaky tap, a donald duck impression, someone drawing on paper, money going in to an arcade machine, farting, a horse, a good quality kissing noise, a seashore, A... crow? (or maybe it's a chicken), a sound of someone slurping soup, among other ones

I can also do some pretty interesting movements with my chin, and I can do a great jelly wiggle

if I put myself at a certain angle, it feels like my knee is being tickled by someone else's hand

so interesting!

I can do many voice impressions.

When I was little I used to be able to go a step above the "criss-cross-apple-sauce" where my feet could go way up to my hip.

I can make some pretty funny faces.

I know this isn't really a trick but for the past 10 years I've never had a photo of myself with the same hair color or hair cut.

I know this has a pole in it, but I have come really close to nailing this move in a free standing forearm stand. I'm also really good at head stands and working on hand stands. They aren't unique talents, but I'm still proud. Lol.

I was a dancer when I was younger (ballet, modern dance). So I did all kinds of stretches and moves with my body. I'm still flexible, but cannot begin to do the things I used to. The biggest reason for not being able to is weight gain from meds.

I can stand in front of my class and pretend I'm teaching. I just move my mouth a lot.

You are beautiful

[Blueberrybook]

I can do this with all my fingers (minus the thumbs of course):


BTW: This is not a picture of my own hand, just an internet image showing what my fingers can do. Not that it every really comes in handy for anything, beyond freaking out a few girls when I was in elementary school.

[notz]

I can wiggle my ears up and down. I tell 3 and 4 year old kids that Peter Rabbit was my grandfather. You should see their eyes get big! lol

[LiteraryLark]

I can do the ballet first position.

Excellent! Without legs, my athleticism has faltered. My arms and upper body are strong but I can’t even remember some moves taught to me by Chandra, a girlfriend of old.

She used to amaze me. That’s an amazing move, too.

Funny you should mention weight gain.

I’ve been on higher doses and different meds to battle psychosis and mania since I returned from hospital and, by God, I think that I’ve gained 20 pounders or more. I’m not eating more nor have I started eating different foods — I Have this tiny bunch of fat, though, around my navel.

Ugh!

I could do this easily until I got older snd not as Strong plus gained weight

[Loial]

I can manually place my thumbs on the back of my hand. Also have double jointed thumbs. I think also extending my small toe separately from my other toes.

Yes. That's what happens. Meds change the body's metabolism. It's horrible.

That mirrors my student teaching techniques!

And any oral presentation as a student.

I’ve wondered about, yet never investigated, the ‘double jointed’ meme as I’ve been told that my small fingers are double jointed.

Is there a disorder with your small toe? When I had feet I had ‘Morton’s Toe,’ an elongated second toe longer than any others. Very common,
I think, and I never ‘suffered’ any pain because of it.

I can float effortlessly. (So, speaking of weight gain, this one is actually an obesity superpower. I'd be sad if I ever lost it because it's awesome being able to cruise around like a manatee.) I can also make a strange face that no one has been able to imitate. I'll snap a pic in the morning!!

[Quarter life]

I can sing the 'Godfather ' theme in a voice like Daffy Duck.
