    For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to use those stupid wooden paddle/elastic band/rubber ball thingies where you hit the ball back and forth against the paddle. I always screw it up just like Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles".

    I still need to learn to drive a manual shift. I tried it once when JV was teaching me how to drive. The experience was horribly embarrassing and didn't seem to need to be repeated since we have an automatic.

    m_cable, are you serious or were you watching Frasier this week? :)

    Well I'm almost never serious. . . but I still can't ride a bike.

    I can't whistle...despite many attempts to learn from my dad, uncle, friends and even some random old dude I met while pumping gas...

    The trick is to hit the ball really hard. I kick butt at those things.

    I've got one of those paddle things. I can juggle three balls, but I can't hit one stinking ball on a string.

    Oh, and I've only driven stick once.

    burping, snapping fingers, swimming, blowing bubble gum, tumbling, saying the word "bull" or "wall", whistling
