CB's Question of the Day

[cabenson]

I was whistling "The Battle of 1812" for the cats yesterday and Mrs. CB said that I should consider entering a whistling contest.

What hidden (and let's keep it non-sexual ;)talent(s) do you possess?

I can float.
Er, I don't think its a talent, actually, I think everyone can do it, but apparently, people don't think they can- or just don't do it, I'm not sure. Basically, I can lay on the water and just lay there on the surface, relax, breath normally through my nose, the waves carry me up and down, I can do it for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. I've never fallen asleep like that, but could. The only problem is that the current can take you far from where your party is sitting on the beach, and I imagine you can get carried out to sea if the current is right.

I can juggle lots of random things including (but not limited to), balls, rings, clubs, flaming torches, pop cans, rocks, eggs, candy bars, cell phones, balls of paper, ping-pong balls, basketballs, carrots, and plastic frogs.

really?

Yup! I taught myself with bean-bags when I was in college. After I mastered the normal balls-rings-clubs of the juggling world I realized I could juggle just about any random thing laying around as long as it wasn't too big or heavy (3-4 pounds is about the limit for extended juggling, I'm not strong enough for heavier things). I can mix it up, too, with all three things being very different weights and shapes (like a club, a ring, and an egg for example). It's all kinds of fun, and a great way to entertain little kids!

wow, i'm impressed :-)

[jandyle.livejournal.com]

*bows* Well, I may not be "perfect", but I can do one or two impressive things. ;)

I'm a good listener...I know this because all my girl friends (that's girls who are friends) call me when they're having problems with their boyfriends...

I am ambidextrous

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

it's important we all do our best ;-D

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

ooo, i wish i were.
i should develop my right hand more. it's also weaker than my left.

[jandyle.livejournal.com]

I work with what I've got. ;)

[betsybanger.livejournal.com]

I guess your perfection isn't all inclusive ;-)

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

hehe, burn!

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

lol!
and i'll be the first to admit it!

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

ok, seriousely now.
yes, i AM perfect, but i'll be more specific.
i'm good at sports.

[betsybanger.livejournal.com]

ambidextrous check...

1) can you wipe using either hand, or does it leave you with a bigger mess than you started with?
2) does only half of your hair usually look good?
3) can you drive, hold the cellphone, fiddle with the radio and check out the cutie in the convertible in the lane next to you all at the same time, without causing an accident? (I guess that can fall under multi-tasking)
4) can you 'please' yourself with either hand?

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

haha! ok, let's see...

1) can you wipe using either hand, or does it leave you with a bigger mess than you started with?

i never even try. i always default to my left hand.

2) does only half of your hair usually look good?

lol!
i have short hair, which is easy to handle, but i can brush my hair with both hands.

3) can you drive, hold the cellphone, fiddle with the radio and check out the cutie in the convertible in the lane next to you all at the same time, without causing an accident? (I guess that can fall under multi-tasking)

sounds like you need 4 hands for that. but since my devision of attention isn't too good, i try not to talk on the cellphone while driving. all the rest i can do without a problem :-)


4) can you 'please' yourself with either hand?

sorry, that's private information :-)

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

hehe, not.

[betsybanger.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you are well on your way to perfection outside of the sporting world!

[mikee-pm.livejournal.com]

play squash, basketball and volleyball with me and we'll see.

[bluepoet.livejournal.com]

I'm very flexible. I can put my feet behind my head without any stretching...or pain, for that matter.

[detective-tatas.livejournal.com]

Love your icon CB!

Talent? hmm..

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks babe!

[wingsfan.livejournal.com]

I can speak...four languages fluently, including a few chinese dialects. Working on French, Italian and Latin right now.
No?
I've got a mean shot (hockey, that is.) How many 5'0, 116 lbs female hockey player can score goals with 80 mph to 90 mph shots?
Good sniper, bad skater. Hence my close relationship with the boards.
Bah, too much self-promotion.
