Basic Talent You Wish You Had

[wiffleball 4,643]

For me, whistling. I'm not even sure if that's how you spell it.

 

Guys my Dad's age could do entire melodies and whatnot. Gene Kelly was a brilliant whistler. So cool.

 

But even last night, some broad was able to do the whole fingers in the mouth thing and whistle REALLY loud during the Nuggets game. . I felt demasculated.

 

Seems like I should be able to do this. But, like many things in life, I suck at it.

Taking a bottle cap off with a lighter or what have you. Just never been able to master it.

Taking a bottle cap off with a lighter or what jave you. Just never been able to master it.

Good one also

 

I have mastered the art of taking off the bottle cap by putting it on the edge of a table and slamming my hand on the top to get it off.

On a very related note, I have also mastered the art of getting glass shards in my beer.

That I've never done, but I'm thinking it must be possible. Just need to explore it.

 

Can you not whistle at all though?

 

I don't think it's lack of capability. If you have lips, can pucker them, and your tongue is pliable, you should be able to whistle.

I can do that one... I can also use the edge of a countertop, too.

 

Add me to the group that can't whistle worth a damn.

First: You're giving me a bit of a stiffy.

 

Second: I can do the basics. Curl the tongue under (like you'd call a cab) and/or the most basic whistle, but nothing COOL, ya know?

How to Whistle 12 Steps

 

The palate style is completely new to me. Maybe the mediocre pucker whistlers rock it.

I can open beer bottles with my wedding ring though.

Taking a bottle cap off with a lighter or what have you. Just never been able to master it.

 

 

The key is to have a solid base with your left hand. Very strong grip. Have it millimeters below the cap and put the bottom of the lighter at a 40 degree angle upwards and pop it.

 

Whistling is nothing more than using your thumb and fawk you finger pinched together against the bottom of your tongue an inch into your mouth.

 

I was taught how to do both by a fat chick we called Janet The Planet. She also taught me how to drive stick and roll a fatty at the same time.

[Giants Fan 85]

He's lying.

 

It's easy. Anyone can learn that. It's all leverage.

 

You cradle the lighter in your knuckle, makes a great fulcrum, hook the bottom of the lighter on the lip of the bottle cap, and then .... using centrificle force, raise your shoulders and yell out ... "Wooopdooley shooop!" and jump up and down.

 

You'll get it.

Having difficulties getting low enough to the ground? Just pick them up.

 

 

 

...I wish I could save money.

[Giants Fan 85]

Eventually, you wont hafta say "woop doobley shoop" anymore, but trust me ... it helps at first.

Yer sick and perverted.

 

Never been able to touch my toes. My past physical therapist said I had the "tightest hamstrings" she had "ever seen". Makes me fast, and I never blew out a hamstring ... quick twitch ... also makes my lower back tight. Beeing quick on my feet hasn't helped since a couple years ago when I almost stepped on a rattlesnake.

[Giants Fan 85]

Dude, that was serious adrenaline though.

 

I heard it SHHHHHKKKSSHHHH! and there is a watering system for the plants, but it was coming from behind me, I looked over my shoulder, saw a coiled up 4 foot rattlesnake (tan color) and I was bare ankled wearing flip flops ...

 

I became airborne in a split second, and I did this crazy ninja flip of my right leg in mid air that landed me like 6 feet away. 6 foot 1, 215 pounds. Quick twitch.

[Giants Fan 85]

I originally messed up my back, LITERALLY picking up 2 girls.

 

Big breasted girls, friends of mine and my ride home. I was so happy to see them, I hugged them both, and lifted 240 plus pounds of girls off the ground ... not only focked up my back, broke my fibula when I twisted my ankle.

 

Not my best night. Made it home without puking.

[Giants Fan 85]

Dad's side: Roger's Rangers .... Marauders during the Revolutionary War. Fought for the Queen. Massacred people.

 

Mom's side: Adam and Andrew Poe. Indian fighters of the West. Massacred people.

 

So, it's in my blood ... to lay waste to motherfockers that get in my way.

 

I am the last person on this planet, you want pissed off at you. I can be ... evil. You wont see me coming or going.
