I can blend in so well I become invisible if I'm in a crowd of more than one person

I don't think I've hidden any from anyone. Y'all already know too much about what I can and cannot do!

Maybe... I can make mozzarella cheese? Curl my tongue. Hips are flexible - I can sit 'indian' style and bend over and touch my nose to the floor in front of me. Yet legs out straight I can't touch my nose to my knees because I need to stretch my hamstrings.

I can do impressions, usually of my animals! I also make kick ass waffles which are really unheard of here in the UK. And I write poetry! Top that peeps! LOL

I am a very good impressionist and have even had some of mine graded and looked at by professional impressionists via Youtube e-mails, but it's something I have always liked to do just for fun at parties or around the office making co-workers laugh. And those who keep asking me to do them are some of the same people who aren't afraid to tell me I suck at something, so I know that they are good enough to entertain friends and family. My specialties are Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Tracy Morgan(from 30 Rock), Pee Wee Herman, and the Godfather.

I once won a $50 bar bet by naming every single country in Africa. Even the little ones like Sao Tome and the Seychelles. I could still do it, but I can't remember a phone number even if my life depended on it.

Hah, this is an easy one for me. I can fix just about anything. We have a running joke at home. The second I see something is broke I generally get right on it and have it back like new in no time, which is immediately followed by my wife and sons jokingly, and derisively saying "Yep, Dad can fix anything". I think they're mocking me now

Hmmmm . . . . very interesting. Even intriguing, one might say. I think we need to hear more about this 'bending over with your nose on the floor', and some pics (preferably from the rear) would help, too

Sooo jealous.

I stand there and look at said broken item with an intense look of betrayal, and hope it guilts itself back to functionality.

You are sooooo bad.....

Speaking of fixing stuff....I was always the invent it guy.....Did it for 30 years.....

We once had a sheltered workshop pre assemble a set screw into a part for us.......

When their workshop burned down, we were stuck hiring a bunch of temps to do it......We needed 20,000 a day....

I made a gizmo with a little air powered motor mounted under the table with the little hex type driver sticking up through a little nest to hold the part ...you put a screw in the bit, placed the back of the part in the nest and drop it...It fell foreward landed on the turning screw, and as the screw went into the threads, it screwed its self off the driver to the correct depth....It was actually so much fun to operate it was almost addictive.......

I built 2 of them, and when we put operators on them they said "what is the hourley rate" I had no idea, and just threw a number...600 per hour.....I came back an hour and the counter said 600 parts......

600 x 7 is 4200 an hour three shifts makes 12600 x 2 was more than enough to keep the assembly line running......

Don't know where the idea came from, never saw anything like it before or since....Just some of the stuff thats done every day so people can build cars.....

That doesn't surprise me. I've read some of your other posts and it was immediately obvious you are very mechanically talented. Back in high school I took all the shop classes thinking I'd someday be a shop teacher. Then the reality of what they are paid set in and I turned my attention to IT. I'd still rather being doing shop stuff

I'm thinking I'll tile my counters. I'm tired of the all white blah counter. After having the car repainted and my yard project (had a bunch of concrete patio removed; need to get a load of edging rocks, dirt, mulch and plants) the next will be the kitchen counter. I think I can, I think I can!

I'm sure you can

When I tiled my counter I read some books and watched some vids.

But, given what I've seen from Homebuilder's pics, he seems to be the reigning expert. Maybe you should check in with him. From what I recall, the trick was in laying it out properly, taking my time, and having a good wet saw.
