Things I can do, things I cannot

A. Hamilton · Feb 2, 2007

I'll state something I can't do. Someone who can do what I could not, posts next, stating what/how with a brief description as desired. That poster in turn states what they cannot do, and so on....

Example:
poster 1: I cannot pluck my eyebrows in the dark.
poster 2: I can, can't you tell?

But, I cannot prune a rosebush..
poster 3: I can, and my garden is beautiful.

I do not know how to tie a fly
poster 4: I was last year's Fly-Tying Champion
But, I can't...(blah blah blah)

Okay here goes.

I cannot drive a motorcycle.

Meerkat · Feb 2, 2007

I can, and I had one in college--a really cool one, so that made me really cool too.

But I cannot verbally tell a joke.

A. Hamilton · Feb 2, 2007

I can tell lots of jokes, they usually begin "knock knock..."
I cannot start a lawnmower. (pathetic)

Silver King · Feb 2, 2007

I can start a lawnmower with ease, and then my wife does all the cutting.

I cannot travel without a primal fear of never returning home.

A. Hamilton · Feb 2, 2007

I love to travel, and coming home is often the most interesting part of the journey.

I cannot tolerate Rum.

MidnightMuse · Feb 2, 2007

I love rum, put it in my coke all the time

But I've never been able to swallow lutefisk.

Silver King · Feb 2, 2007

I can imagine what lutefisk must taste like, which is all the more reason you shouldn't swallow lye-soaked fish.

I cannot deliberately hurt someone I love.

davids · Feb 2, 2007

I can if it helps them and if I am sure something must be said or done-an intervention comes to mind

I cannot resist riches

Mandy-Jane · Feb 3, 2007

I can because I've never been rich.

I cannot play poker.

san_remo_ave · Feb 3, 2007

I can play poker and often participate in a neighborhood game.

I cannot play a musical instrument.

A. Hamilton · Feb 3, 2007

I have played the violin since I was ten.

I can't sing.

Shwebb · Feb 3, 2007

I can sing well enough for children to hear lullabies and be comforted by them.

I cannot make nice flower arrangements--they always look like I stuck a bunch of weeds into a vase, no matter how many times I take 'em out and put 'em back in.

tlblack · Feb 3, 2007

I can and do arrange flowers all day at work.

But I can't stand the smell of potpourri.

Flu · Feb 3, 2007

My nose doesn't work - I hardly smell a thing - so bring on that potpourri!

I can't fill in that tax report thing though.

A. Hamilton · Feb 4, 2007

I've always loved doing my taxes. Even easier with software. (maybe it's those high refunds-shrug)

I can't for the life of me calculate a simple interest rate on a long-term loan.

poetinahat · Feb 4, 2007

Oh, it's a simple [1/(1-r)][SUP]n[/SUP], or something. And always round in your favor!

I can't, however, figure out where I want to be in five years.

Mandy-Jane · Feb 5, 2007

Oh I can. In five years, I want to be a well-respected playwright living happily right where I am now with 1 husband, 2 kids and lots of ducks!

But I can't make a cheese and dip and biscuits platter that looks anywhere near edible!

Shwebb · Feb 5, 2007

I have my own secret recipe for crab dip that'll knock your socks off! Whenever I fix it for guests, they can't seem to get enough.

But I get an "F" in the art of small talk.

PattiTheWicked · Feb 5, 2007

I'm good with small talk -- I've found that if you allow people to chat about themselves, they'll happily lead the conversation.

However, I can't for the life of me change a flat tire.

MidnightMuse · Feb 5, 2007

I've changed many flat tires, even on the side of busy highways. I'm quit good at them, actually

Thing is, I've never once bungee jumped.

Flu · Feb 5, 2007

I've never bungee jumped either, but if someone drugged me, hooked me up, and pushed me off the bridge, I'm sure I could do it.

I can't, however, resist my cat's sad look when she's begging for a treat.

endless · Feb 9, 2007

I can resist any animal's begging because I'm an alpha bitch and it's MINE!

Plus, they probably don't like it anyway....

I can't do a somersault.

Mandy-Jane · Feb 9, 2007

I can do a somersault (or at least I could when I was 8).

I can't cook to save myself.

A. Hamilton · Feb 9, 2007

I love to cook. My specialty is, believe it or not- leftovers.

I can't do a bank shot while playing pool.

JeanneTGC · Feb 22, 2007

I can do bank shots -- I call them miracle shots, but I can manage them. Sometimes.

But I can't resist my male cat's meows and demands for affection.
