Question Going crosseyed

Sign in to disble this ad
Can you? I can, in the traditional manner(both turned in/toward each other). I'd like to go the other way, ala Marty Feldman, or The Toad from Flushed Away. Anyone ever learned this terribly useful skill or am I truly TB's most random poster ever? Pics/tips/highjacks/derail/derision as alway quite welcome.

I can only do it if I hold a small object in front of my face for my eyes to focus on. It isn't very comfortable so I rarely do it.

I can actually get a bit of independant movement(one eye looking inward, the other rolling or going around)but I'm fascinated w/the idea of getting them both to go 'out'. THAT would freak people out.

I'm afraid you have years of random posts before you can steal that title from Major Metal

Oh, so very true. You cannot beat the "Have you ever taken a bass in the bathtub with you?" thread. Priceless.

I can go in and out of the traditional crosseyed look at will with no problem or discomfort. I can't get the eyes to go the other direction at the same time, but I CAN rotate my eyes in opposite circles (one clockwise, the other counter-clockwise) most of the time.

Yeah, I can do pretty much exactly what mrokern describes, but the Marty Feldman thing- I don't know where to start.
Agreed on the MM comments.
