I'm top notch at oral and love to do it, but I married a woman who doesn't like it ten years ago. So much waste.

I am reasonably acrobatic. I only get to use it when people are drunk and get the sudden urge to watch someone do a backflip.

Much lower level, but I'm over 50 and can do a great cartwheel. Was at a concert and these little kids were sitting in a line, one by one doing a cartwheel, I came and joined their line and when my turn came did the cartwheel they were just delighted, it was so cute.

Not otherwise acrobatic, a one trick pony. But it has very occasionally been a good trick.

What kinda animals can you make? Are there some that you excel at in particular that are out of the more ordinary repertoire?

I know how to do home canning, and making sure it's safe. I just don't get to do it often because it's energy intensive on the me so it's something I do about twice a year.

Unscrambling mixed-up words. I can usually do 5-letter ones on sight, 6-letters might take a minute, or at least a few seconds. Recently while watching Young Sheldon I was surprised to see a closeup of a Jumble that Meemaw was working on - which I'm still not sure was real because one of the words was POINT, which can also be PINTO. The Jumble people are usually careful to avoid words with multiple solutions, because certain letters in each word become the source for a longer final jumble, so having them unambiguously in the correct positions matters.

artificial / forced burping. i used it a lot as a kid to graciously avoid broccoli and other dinner socializations.

the gracious part only works on family though.
