Sure, playing by ear is easiest.  :cool:

EDIT:  Sorry, I mistook that as basically a rephrase of "can you play by ear?"  Just by hearing a person sing the song?  Hmmm... depends on the song, but usually probably not.  I'm only just developing a sense of what chords go where.  Playing piano chords is much more complex than saxophone, where you only have one note at a time.

Now with a one-note-at-a-time instrument like trumpet, sax, etc... sure, I can pick up the tune a person is singing, play the lead or pop fills in around it, easy. 



Can you rollerblade?

Can you dance?

Nah, no interest.  I have great balance, I walk with a perceptible spring and when business gets hectic at w*rk I almost feel I'm dancing with the flow of orders, but I never did have any reason to dance, be it ballet, line, ballroom or other.

Can you skip backward?

Technically I can, but I have zero interest.  I like my head attached to my shoulders and intend to keep it, and I like my spine right where it is.

Can you make cheesecake?

I can. Chel taught me. Did I mention she made three back in January and we ate them? All of them?!

Can you burp the ABCs?
Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?

Just have to twist the knife eh?

No I can't burp on command.  I never have had a good reason to learn.


On the other hand... I never had a good reason to learn how to raise my eyebrows one at a time, but I did and I can.  It's amazing the completely useless things you can learn how to do just because you think they are neat.  I can even raise them individually to the beat of a song, for no apparent reason.  Can you?

Can you multi task?

Lynx

No, and scientists claim you can't either.  They say what most people call multitasking is simply rapidly flipping between multiple tasks.  Don't ask me, they're the ones with the time-motion studies and brain scans.

Can you run over ice without falling?

Can you drive backwards?

Yup.  It's actually kind of fun, but at speed it usually requires overclocking the brain's central processor.  In other words, it is hard on the brain.  :P

Can you load a media player (most people call them mp3 players)?  Don't laugh, some people can't.

Can you completely build a computer

Lynx

March 05, 2011, 06:21:26 PM
Depends on the definition.  I could take the motherboard, cd bay, power supply, ram and all the other parts and connect them.  I could "make" a computer by putting all the parts together because these days everything is modular.  If it requires assembling a motherboard from circuits, transistors and springs, that's over my head.

Can you listen to a choir and pick out your part?

No, but fortunately I have never had the need to.

Can you make homemade banana pudding?  Homemade means without instant pudding from the store.

Can you  type with your eyes closed?

Yup.  I'm typing this with my eyes closed.  I won't even fix mistakes when I open my eyes to read it.

And now my eyes are open and there's nothing to fix.  I credit my high school typing teacher.  :)

Can you install a computer operating system?  (I probably know the answer and you don't, because I know how easy some operating systems are to install these days.)

Nope.  They always tell me a sad story while I'm cutting them up.   :cry2:

And the answer to my last one was yes you can install a computer OS.  A child of three could.  It's dead easy these days.

Can you close your eyes, stand on one leg and stretch both arms out straight in front of you without falling over?
