    What is something that most people can do, but you can't?

    Pretty much what the title says.

    I can't do a cartwheel. I've tried countless times to try to do a proper cartwheel, but I just topple over on my side. I also can't do the splits. I'm kind of flexible, but I'm just not that flexible.

    So, what about all of you?

    Hmm. You're assuming most people can do cartwheels? Is that true? I can but I'm not sure if the average US citizen can.

    I can't think of anything off the top of my head that is a popular skill that I can't also do myself. If you read my blog though you'd know I am envious of people who are good at pilates.

    I stream Bloodborne, FFXIV, and occasionally other games.

    I can't roll my tongue. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it. I have the recessive gene for tongue rolling I guess, it's impossible for me to do those cool 3 leaf clovers and shit with my tongue. fml.

    Hmm I have never been able to whistle. No matter how much I try, and practice I cannot do it.

    I guess that is cool seeing as how I have many skills that the ordinary person does not have.

    Sitting here waiting for Rocky, and Che to notice me!!

    - Remember shit.
    - A good job on anything involving fine motor skills.

    Thankfully my job actually comes with the expectation I record things to a notepad as they happen and I don't need neat writing - otherwise I'd be screwed. As it is, I can generally come up with something to address those shortcomings when I have to so no biggie.

    Write with my right hand. (Technically I can, as long as legibility isn't a requirement.)

    If I whistle it's usually unintentional. Just never cultivated that particular skill.

    The first and last time I attempted a cartwheel, I ended up flat on my back.

    I can't lose any more baby teeth. It seems like all the kids these days just keep on losing baby teeth, but I lost my last one over a decade ago. Ever since then, I just haven't been as cool.

    I can't fake burp. Well, I can, but comes out like a squeak-burp.

    I can't cartwheel either. Last time I tried, I really hurt my wrist.

    I can whistle but I can't do that really loud whistle that people put their fingers under their tongue and it makes a really loud whistle. I'm pretty envious of people that can do that, I've always wanted to learn but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

    Just as many people here I can't whistle either, I also can't stand country music. Two more things I'm not capable of doing, can't dive and dance for shit.

    Hey guys, guess what? ...I can whistle. Quite well, in fact. That must make me more awesome than all of you!

    ...I wish my fingers were more dexterous, so I could quickly sift through money/break a deck of cards/whatever like a lot of people can. Anyhoo...

    I can't whistle, usually. I can't roll my tongue (though I can do many other impressive things with it). I can't go under water without holding my nose. I can't support a failed economic system. I can't rely on others to do my work for me. I can't get no satisfaction.

    But I CAN believe it's not butter. Imagine that.

    I can't do cartwheels. Or Summersalts. And I can't seem to get a good night sleep either. Also I can't sit through one episode of one of those anime shows.

    I'm serious.

    Really embarassing, but I cannot skate. That is one of the saddest things ever. I am not very good at picking the right friends and I suck at gymnastics. I type fast but sadly with only my index fingers. I can't stand stupid people or short people or people who can't spell or people who don't know how to use past tense when they talk.

    I use to whistle before I busted my face with a metal bin. My two front teeth are mostly fake now, and since that happened I haven't been able to whistle... I miss it sometimes.

    I haven't tried doing a cartwheel in 10+ years. I might be able to not sure.

    I am not able to watch golf on tv for more than 2 minutes without falling asleep.

    I can't tell jokes. I have tried many times and I just dont have the... timing/stage presence, whatever that "it" is that it takes to tell jokes well.


    Scene from a movie.
    SPOILER!!:
    [Having pulled over a speeding driver.]
    Mac: All right, how about Cat Game?
    Foster: Cat Game? What's the record?
    Mac: Thorny did six, but I think you can do ten.
    Foster: Ten? Starting right meow?
    [They go up to the car.]
    Driver: Sorry about the...
    Foster: All right meow. Hand over your license and registration.
    [The man gives him his license.]
    Foster: Your registration? Hurry up meow.
    Driver: [laughing] Sorry.
    Foster: Is there something funny here boy?
    Driver: Oh, no.
    Foster: Then why you laughing, Mister... Larry Johnson?
    [Foster stares at him.]
    Foster: All right meow, where were we?
    Driver: Excuse me, are you saying meow?
    Foster: Am I saying meow?
    Driver: I thought...
    Foster: Don't think boy. Meow, do you know how fast you were going?
    [The man laughs.]
    Foster: Meow. What is so damn funny?
    Driver: I could have sworn you said meow.
    Foster: Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?
    [The man is uncontrollably laughing.]
    Foster: You stop laughing right meow!
    Driver: [Stops and swallows hard.] Yes sir.
    Foster: Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law.
    [Rips off the ticket and hands it to the man.]
    Foster: Not so funny meow, is it?
    [Foster gets up to leave, but Mac shakes his hands at him, indicating only nine meows.]
    Foster: Meow!

    I can't pull an all-nighter anymore, which is disappointing considering 2 am - 6 am is the only time of quiet in this house. (i need an apartment, roomies anybody?)
