Unfair

Because I currently seem to be having trouble with the comment board at The Sneeze, I want to start my own unofficial poll and get my two cents in.

The question of the day is: are you physically unable to do any seemingly simple action (i.e. winking)?

I can only sort of whistle and I am utterly unable to blow up a balloon.
I can't roll my tongue, although both my parents can.
I can't burp or fart on command, and The Jenn mocks me for it often.

Your turn!

I can barely extend my tongue out of my mouth as a result of having had a knot in the tissue that links my tongue to the bottom of my mouth when i was born. I had surgery to fix it when i was younger, but still can't do much.

Heehee, the story behind that still makes me giggle. I have a sudden urge to call your Mom and thank her...

Fart on command?!

I can't flip my eye-lids. I think thats about it. Oh, and I can't make my ears move. Some people can make them jot up and down, I can't play that. Oh, oh. I can't juggle. Some people make it look too easy.

Okay so, although I'm a stupendous burper/farter I can not flip my eyelids, roll my tongue, flare my nostrils or move my ears. I'd like to add to the list that I can not make my eyeballs vibrate. I knew this guy in high school that could and it was weird.

I can make my eyes vibrate! I was going to mention that but I didn't want people thinking I was some sort of alien.

I'm not an alien!

haha. hi, I just surfed in.
I can roll my tongue, flare my nostrils and burp on command. But I can't wiggle my ears or fart on command.

Also ,I can raise my left eyebrow independent of the right one, but I can't raise the right one by itself.

When it comes to snapping the fingers of my right hand, I am fine, but despite being left-handed, I cannot seem to do it with my left.

Whistling and/or playing most wind instruments is totally beyond me due to the whole clef lip and palate thing; but on the flipside of that, I can touch not only my tongue to my nose, but also my bottom lip.

I remember doing well in a small nostril-flaring competition in junior high.

Ironically enough i can arch my right eyebrow but not the left, opposite of loops

and the blog's refusal to capitalize the first letter of my name offends me =P
