Can you do it? How good are you?

And I don't mean that shitty fingers in mouth whistle, I mean real whistling.

For me, its probebly my best musical talent, I can do it to allmost any tune(rock is very hard), and sound very well.

I can whistle a bit, but not very well. I've been known to warble the Imperial March while distracted.

I can whistle somewhat. The interesting way to whistle though is the ability to exhale and inhale whislting...makes for long whistling abilities.

I usally do it when im occupied doing something that needs attention, it creates a little diversion

Actually, i doubt that. i know one of my little brothers doesn't have a knack for it. I... well whistling is something ya do when nervous, or simply to annoy someone that you just know is going to be affected by the high pitched wonderful cheery sound!

*hugs* Besides, it's not like whistling is that important, is it?

WRONG. If you can't whistle, you're nothing.

:razz:

I have no qualms about admitting you're far better at blowing skills than myself. :razz:

Pick up a trumpet and play for a year. You'll be whistling at the end.

[Lauren Bacall]You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? Just put your lips together and blow[/Lauren Bacall]

Um, yeah... I can pull off most tunes, although occasionally I go a bit off key. Have spent most of today absent-mindedly whistling Dirty Harry by Gorillaz.

For some reason, I've never been able to get the hang of the fingers-in-the-mouth whistling thing though. Go figure.

I cannot whistle very well. Though I can whistle even with a ton of practice at a young age, the tunes were rather...dreadful.

Therefore I am just above nothing. That means you can ignore me while I raid your vehicle ;)

I whistle like a mad, melodic motherfucker. It's so much fun and I do it in public all the time and people look at me straaaangely. :D

Then again, I've always gotta be makin' some kind of music.

If by whistling you mean forcing air between the minute gap in my front teeth and making some horrible screeching sound, the yes. If by whistling you mean being able to play songs or whatever, then....no.

Isn't that what hunters do to call grouse? ;D

Phbtt. The only thing you need to know about hunting you can learn from Predator. Namely, if you mow down the forest with a minigun, anything that's left alive won't have any cover left.

I can somewhat, but I have a good reason why I'm not good at it... You see, when I was born my tongue was tied and because it doesn't affect speech or anything important they didn't cut it.
So while most people can stick their tongues out really far (some can even pick their nose with the tip of their tongue, like my dad :wink: ) I can't stick it out very far at all.

If you don't know what I'm talking about go look at the bottom of your tongue in a mirror and you'll see a peice of skin which holds your tongue down, observe how far back in your mouth it is tied and then think about how it would be if your peice of skin was attached right behind your bottom teeth. That's me :wink: :grin:
