whats yr hidden talent?
 

i searched the forum and found no threads about this.

my hidden talent is that i can fire dance. well, at least i am starting to learn how to do it. this weekend, i hooped with fire for the first time. i'm a superb hula hooper (i used to do silly contests as a kid) so i guess fire seemed like the next logical step? unfortunately, everybody at the party was too stoned to take pictures. this is kinda what it looks like though:

 

that's hot

cool!

too bad every single hint of talent i have is out in the world.

I throw a mean boomerang.

what do you mean polesj?
in those pics you took, you seemed to have made some delicious food. cooking is a talent!

well yeah but... i posted it on the internet and my friends eat my food all the time. it's not hidden. everything else i do is public too. my drawings and pictures are on the internet for everyone to see, and i wear the clothes i make when i go out into the world. maybe i'm just taking the hidden talent thingy too literal :-)

you gotta ask glice to lecture you about the "devil weed"

i can open a bottle of beer with my teeth

any ass can do that, until their teeth break (it happened to me-- a chunk came off-- fuck not having a ready bottle opener for all occasions)

if I were to divulge a hidden talent, it wouldn't be a hidden talent anymore.

it's something to do with yr robotic rectum, isn't it?

i can smell the burnt gaskets all the way here

rectum? damn near killed 'em!

i have one on my keys.

Does sex count? I'm just playing. I really don't know though.

If you want to be a cunt to someone, I am not your proxy. Just be a cunt. It's the internet, everyone knows you're a prick.

Get a bottle opener, pauper. More seriously, I've got cunting great gaps in my teeth thanks to opening bottles with my teeth, so I really wouldn't recommend it. If you want a proper party trick, I know a couple of fellas who can open bottles with their eyeball-socket. It's quite the feat. One of those fellas used to gargle glass (don't ask) but last I heard he'd been sequestered away for the public's safety.

Anyway. My hidden talent is knitting. I shit ye not.

Mine isn't a talent, just something physically freakish. I'm not going to
reveal it here, because I look forward to times when I'll meet up and drink
with some of you and decide to show this off.

Kegmama and Panto know.

I can catch over 20 quarters off my elbow.
This is a pretty useless "talent."

This. It took me forever to be able to do that with both elbows at the same time.

Fuck that just use a lighter someone always has one of those

Well...what about us who might never have the opportunity to drink with ye.

ooh yeah i can do some flexibility tricks. that's something most of you people don't know. the bad news is that this flexibility causes a lot of pain in my joints, especially in my vertebrae. just sitting or standing puts so much stress on them because they kind of fall into positions that are pretty stressing, but feel fine because i'm flexible. yay for back pain and arthritis later on in life!

.......

My birthday is next month. Drinking will occur. Pictures will surface.

I can buy the most mediocre yet potentially rare and desirable thurston moore product....with one hand tied behind my back.

I had 2 bottle-openers and a Swiss army knife on my keyring at one point. It doesn't mean I don't have a series of cunting great holes in my teeth. I don't care, obviously, you can either have cunting great holes in your teeth or not. I'm just saying, there are much cooler ways to waste a cuntload of money in future life than opening bottles with your teeth.

i don't do it but i can do it and have done it

make sense?

Now you can start busking.

Probably some sexual thing.

Now I want to meet you even more.

my change cup will have to be at least 20 ft away so that people don't get burned.

i'm afraid that somebody will steal it. it's not like i can just drop the hoop to catch them.

Have a change bitch.

Someone to keep watch and smack the wrist's of those who get greedy.

good idea.

my gf wants to start busking in DC. she bought a headgear harmonica and is learning bob dylan songs to play to nostalgic ex-hippie CEOs. I'm sure that I could recruit her.

for old hippies go to takoma park. guaranteed success. especially on farmer's market mornings. if you can play the fiddle, you could even get rich.

yup. we can just sit outside mark's kitchen and see what happens.

money pouring out of hemp wallets

just like $9 muffins

i must admit that their spinach tofu cakes are pretty fuckin delicious.

I know how to tie a number of knots from my time in the Boy Scouts.

i like the korean beef but go on a saturday morning between say 7am and noon and behold the farmers market--

$11/lb tomatos

$25 pies

$75 legs of lamb

busker ghetto heaven

that's neat.

Did you buy the hoop or have it made? I fire twirl(single long staff.. sometimes two but I'm crappy at two), poi a little bit, and plain hoop. I've been trying to get my partner's dad to make me a fire hoop and fans for a while but it hasn't happened yet. Kevlar is too damn expensive also. Not only that, but I'd terrified I'd get so into it that i'd do lifts and start hooping around the neck and catch all my hair on fire or sthg.

I've thought about buying an LED hoop but they are just so.. raver. Fire and kero stench with blackened arms is where its at.

I'd really like to learn ermm.. meteor I guess it's called. the rope with knots, kind of between staff and poi. Fire in that looks really awesome.

I've actually found having something on fire with you that you are spinning wildly is quite often enough to keep people from getting close to you. The sound/visual can be quite scary for someone who has never done it.

'sides. you could just let it drop and light back up after a quick chase.
