Stupid tricks

Okay, what can you do, those stupid little tricks that get brought out at parties, either to break the ice or just because you've had a few drinks and it seems like a good idea?

To start things off, I can turn my feet backwards (if I'm just doing the one foot, I can get the right foot 180 turned around. Both feet, I can get them about 120) And I can fit my mouth around a pint glass.

Ear wiggling. The proper way, without moving my chin.

I used to turn my head into a pin cusion using cocktail sticks.

Fall backwards off a chair in feigned surprise and general other prat-fall chicanery. Well, that was in my early 20s.

Now I can teach everyone to translate decimal into binary.

If you haven't yet taken advantage of the Future Shop January mega-sale, Earthlets, don't delay - my droids are selling out of stock fast!

A pint of Guinness in one, this is a necessity not a trick

I can spray beer and other liquids through my assorted piercing holes. The labret is my personal favourite and now has a range of up to 8ft. If you catch me before I get double vision I can also hit a target the size of a 10p.

I can get 4 creme eggs in my mouth.

Yes, but what's your party trick?

Ba-dum TISH!

Do the eggs melt? Or can you do it without cracking them?

Also, some other intriguing ones there....

I can pull the skin on my neck over my chin, although Malchi has banned me from doing it now, as it makes her feel ill.

I think I saw you on TV once.....

Matt Timson · 11 January, 2008, 05:28:33 PM

Congratulations, I've just spent five minutes trying to do exactly the same...

Wils · 11 January, 2008, 05:36:22 PM

Heh. I can't do it like the freaks on telly can. I have to push my chin down into my neck to be able to get the skin over it, but it still freaks people out. I try not to do it too much, anyway, as I don't want to end up having a neck that looks like Sir Cliff's/a scrotum any time soon.

Not just you, and I suspect not just us. Strange the things it never occurs to you to try...
