I LOVE THIS QUESTION! ITS SO TRUE! After 22 years of dancing and gymnastics, I think I have it to the point where I can breath heavily out of my nose and push my tongue to the roof of my mouth so I don't look so guppy-esque...but it still aint pretty lol. And I totally squint my left eye lol. Hahaha thanks, I needed that!

Ok, so I of course just tried this out to see, and it's similar for me! I can do it with my mouth shut, but it feels really weird! I feel like I'm suffocating lol...First I tried it but forgot I had a huge mouthful of strawberry ice cream in my mouth so that didn't go too well, but when just tried again it does feel weird. Another thing I have noticed is on sote chats I tend to move my chin forward and it looks really stupid. haha, that's a good question! It will be interesting to see what other people say. =]

not sure what you mean, but maybe if you send me a picture i could see.

i talk to much to close my mouth so its open

So I had to just try that haha, and I am surprised that I can do it with my mouth closed! I can really feel the muscles in my neck pulling though haha, and they relax when I close my mouth. Maybe you do that naturally because of the whole straining neck muscle thing.

haha, idk.

nope i cant do that either but then again some think that i can part the red sea well no such luck

it depends, if you mean a dance layout (the one where you kick and your head goes backwards) then yes i can do it with my mouth closed. if you mean a gymnastics layout (like a backflip but w/ a straight body) then i keep my mouth open.

I can close it in a dance layout, but not a gymnastics style one.

When I do layouts, I am in my bed and asleep.
You would have to visit me to see if I had my mouth open or closed.

idkk sendd me a picc plzz
