[yvr girl]

It's genetic.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

I'm a popular date :evilgrin:

[StopTheMorans]

2. yep, do i get a prize for that?

[Sannum]

3. Yes...

I can also tie a cherry stem into a bow with my tongue. Oh the things you can do while drunk!:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Yes, I can. I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue too

:P

[AlCzervik]

7. me too!

[qnr]

9. I used to do that, back when I was a bartender n/t

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. You were a bartender? Cool, can I ask you some questions about that?

I for some odd reason want to do that, will my dream would be to own a really uber cool night club/bar... of course I have to wait a few years before any of this.. but yeah, like did you go to school for it? I've heard ads on the radio for bar tending school, would you recommend that or not? Also, whats it like? Is it hard work, I've heard that some bartenders get back problems? And is the pay ok?.... um am I bugging you yet? :shrug: :P

[qnr]

21. Well,

1. No, I did not go to school. I was a bartender at a casino. The emphasis was on knowing the drinks (and how they differed by geographic areas) - handling the customers, etc. Personally, while school might be a good thing, I would say to try to do it hands on for a little while before going to school, just to see if it is something you want to spend your money one. Some of the places you work will send you to school.
   
2. It's hard work, or at least it was at the casino. But it can be very enjoyable. Yes, many bartenders do have back problems, because you will be on your feet for the entire shift, plus lots of stocking if you don't have a bar-back. However, many bars will let you sit if you aren't busy.
   
3. Is the pay OK? Well, I can only speak for myself. I was only making a dollar or so over the minimum wage in Nevada, however, I considered it a slow night if I made less than $150.00 in tokes (tips) during a shift.
   
4. No, you're not :)

12. I haven't tried that in a while

I could do it before.

[mainegreen]

handy if you don't have a straw

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. This can be of much use to anybody but Gene Simmons (nt)

[gollygee]

6. Yes

I guess most people can?

[CornField]

8. How about this one...

Can you open your mouth and twist your tongue so that the sides of the tongue are touching your teeth? (Turn your tongue sideways)

X = teeth

0 = tongue

10. Yes

I can almost roll it all the way over; both ways too. :D

[Phentex]

19. Yes, I do the roll and the sideways actions

:)

[flvegan]

23. I can do the roll, and sideways both to the left and the right.

[Beer Snob-50]

11. cannot do it!!

:(

[On the Road]

13. I Can Roll My Tongue Up, But What's Really a Talent

is rolling it downwards. About one out of every thousand people can do this.

[yvr girl]

14. I'm not one of those 1000

cool trick

[On the Road]

16. I'm Not Either

but it looks like BillySkank is (above).

[dr.strangelove]

18. I am one of those

I'm pretty gifted in the tongue area. I can touch my nose and my chin with it. I can role it "up" and "down." I can't do that sideways thing up above, but I am going to keep trying til I get it.

[flvegan]

24. Damn it! So many tongue talents, and I lack the downward roll. Crap.

[northzax]

17. yes

in fact, I can touch both my chin and my nose (I can actually lick my elbow) you'd think I'd get more dates.

[SarahB]

22. Yes

I can flip it 180 degrees too. :P

[ze_dscherman]

25. Yes

... and some more amazing things, too :9
