Just now, while slightly soju-addled, I attempted to brush my teeth with my left hand, while reaching with my right hand to the back of my neck to untie the double knot on my necklace. It was a long-shot, but I succeeded! Jay Leno, here I come.
What's your special talent? |

Very impressive!
What's my special talent? Tonight I've procrasted nearly 2 hours on the work I have to do. Reminds me of the college years when I'd put off my 10-page reports until 2am the morning they were due. |

I can put stacks of cions on my elbow and catch them in my hand.
My students are impressed. |

| After nine months of effort I've gone from barely being able to touch my toes to being able to do the splits. 앗싸! |

Congratulations!
What are some good stretches you recommend to get there? My problem is I feel like I don't have the leg strengh at my inner and outer thigh to support myself when I do certain stretches. |

Actually I don't know all that much about stretching and the place I live in is pretty small, but I devised a method to stretch whenever I use the computer (which is a lot). Turn the chair around, put a blanket on it to soften the edges, and then kind of straddle it with legs straight out either side. Getting to that point took a while too so I would brace myself with my hands and lower myself toward the chair. After getting down to the chair I would then start to go a little bit lower, and then eventually switched to an inflatable smiley pillow-like thing that's only half as high. Once you get down to that level though it starts to hurt your heels so I either wore an extra pair of socks or used facecloths to make it extra soft on the back of my feet. Does that make sense?
If you have an office-like chair where you use your computer then it might be helpful to get a duoback or some other similar chair so that you can turn it around and use it to stretch.
Edit: here's the model I mean:

I can chug a 12 oz. beer in just under a second*. I ruled the Greek Boat Race weekend. That's my talent.

Me, too! My personal best is 2.8 seconds. Actually, I learned it backwards before I learned it forwards. When I need to alphabetize things, I still do it backwards and then turn it around.
I can also lick my nose. |

I can make the sound of a water drop by flicking my cheek. Saw it once on Ferris Beuller's Day Off! A classic.
Now why can't OCN show THAT movie a million times rather than Judge Dread! |

That is impressive- does it mean you've finally joined the gym?
