I came in place 560 of all players in the world singing "How to save a life"?
...That's all I got.
I can eat whatever I want in any quantity and never gain a pound.
I have won two contests for grimacing and one quasi-real drag beauty pageant.
Also that.Quote:

I can kick really high.
And run really, really fast for a short amount of time.
Nope, I'm just your average girl with average talents. :D

Oh, and my favourite. I can crack my knuckles infinitely.
You lucky bastards! :mad2:Quote:

Secret talents? I can burp on command and that's about it.
But since someone else mentioned instruments I play guitar, bass, drums and a little piano.
I am the 300th best singer of the world in 2 songs (in singstar).
Oh yeah, who wouldn't want me... :cool:
I can -Quote:
- Lick my elbow

- Burp on demand
my sentiments exactly :cry:Quote:

Well if we're counting instruments; I play drums, piano and geetar.
Also, I can eat whatever and not put on any weight, and I can bend the tips of my fingers while keeping the rest of my fingers perfectly straight.
I can crack my thumb on command. Which by itself seems, and is, kinda stupid. But I can ganerally fool people into thinking i'm cracking my nose, and that makes them look stupid which makes me laugh.
I'm amazing at posting Facebook statuses for everything, too. If that counts.
Jeesh, all these people playing 3 instruments..
I can play piano well. :D
I'm a musician by trade. Been playing trumpet for about 16 years and play all of the trumpet family instruments (piccolo trumpet, flugelhorn, etc.) very well. I play semi-professionally doing gigs like weddings year round. Times like Easter, Patriotic Holidays and especially Christmas are my busy times. I also play all of the other brass instruments passably well.
My day job is playing the piano, so I guess I do okay at that too. Additionally I play accordion and guitar and can pick up most instruments fairly quickly. I'm pretty rounded on percussion (note I didn't say "drums") and can get around most stuff that's not four-mallets.
I'm not great at woodwinds, though my wife is a woodwinds specialist playing primarily oboe and clarinet though she plays flute and saxophone extremely well also. Bassoon is about her only limitation as far as woodwinds go.
I sing baritone while my wife sings mezzo.
I can also tune and do moderate repairs to pianos.
Oh... and I can do that thing where I vibrate my eyes as well as burp on demand.
EDIT: Another one my wife likes to trot out at parties... I have virtually no gag reflex and I can easily deep-throat very large jelly-type dildos making all of our gay friends sad that I only swing the one way.
Lol, Rock Band singing is piss easy.Quote:

What's wrong with bass? :(
Oh...nothing. I mean, I'm sure all 4 strings are equally hard to master. :mock:
If you play it, then you can judge. If you don't, then you can't. Never know how hard or easy an instrument is until you play it. <3
However, I have always thought that 'playing bass' is a cheap way to get into a band. Haha.
Pfft, who can't play bass?
The drummer? The singer? Neil Jordan? You?Quote:

However, I guess a point that can be made is that for uninvolved stuff saying you play guitar then following with the fact that you can play bass is pretty "duh" stuff. Any decent guitarist can at least get around on a bass, but to be seriously good the technique will vary a great deal.
:twoshortplanks: Sure, bass is easy enough to pick up. But to master? You've obviously only heard amateurs if you think mastery is easy.Quote:

How about a Sitar with its crappy 3 strings, huh? Don't leave them out of this. :choc2:
Well, anyone can pick up a bass and learn quickly to follow a simple three chord progression. However, I'd disagree with that last part that any instrument can be easy. There are certainly instruments that cannot be simply picked up an made to sound good. Most wind instruments require a lot of training before they are even close to sounding good because so much is required to get good tone. Same for bowed strings where you have to train your bow hand a lot before you can really get good tone from the strings.Quote:

Accordion (at least the basses) are the same way. Probably one of the easiest instruments to just pick up and play...except they aren't cool or nearly as cheap as guitars.
Violins, Violas, and Cellos must also be easy to play, what with their four strings and that stick that they all use.
someone on youtube, in the comments section about a video on dark matter claimed to have psychic abilities.
I found it amusing as I don't believe anyone does.I know I don't.
A fellow named James Randi has offered to pay a million dollars to anyone who can prove they are psychic.
Here's his website:
About James Randi
Someone won 211 million dollars in the powerball lottery yesterday. Sadly it wans't me.I guess that person had the talent of being lucky at the right time.
;)
To play any musical instrument well requires talent.It isn't easy.
The harp must be 7 times harder to play than the guitar what with having 47 strings and 11 times harder than a violin
Ok guys, I was joking, let's not freak out. The bass player in my band is one of my favourite people in the world (and an amazing songwriter), but it's fun to rag on other instruments. "Oh, you play lead guitar? I should have known, the spotlight's really given you a healthy tan." "Say what you want drummer boy, at the end of the day we all know you're just going to be sleeping with the singer's leftovers."
Lie 10 up
P.S. Anyone who's seen Victor Wooten or Les Claypool would be insane to say that Bass isn't hard to master.
Well, it's too late to back out now. In for a penny, and all that! *flames ee*
B-b-but....I was asleep! ;_;
EDIT: Hold up, does this mean I get a mother smurfing penny!? Screw it, gimme all you've got.
imma use ur intenstines to restring my guitar!
Now THAT would be a secret talent.
Too bad one of your talents isn't coming up with decent flames. ZING!
I'm like Johnny Storm after a shower. :(
Glad to you hear you say that. I was sorely tempted to post a Victor Wooten video but I couldn't find just one that I wanted to post so I scrapped the idea.Quote:

Many of them couldn't care less about it.Quote:

When colleagues of mine talk about forcing their children to start instruments early and forcing them to play (usually the instrument of said colleague) I literally want to punch them in the mouth.
Well I'm glad that you actually don't agree with the original statement. Fight averted. :semicolonpee:Quote:
