Party tricks

[Yellow Fang]

What party trick can you do? The only thing I can think of is wiggling my eyes a la Lenny Henry (but without the stupid grin). I can't remember any appropriate songs. I'm not good at jokes. Can't stand on my head. Can't do any magic tricks. Can't juggle. My white elephant impression isn't very impressive. I can almost waggle my ears independently of my scalp, but not quite. So, could you do any better?

Yes.

I can do a reasonable impression of Stephen Hawking ... well, the machine that talks for him. (*resisting temptation to post picture of lego SH again*)

Yep I can do better as I CAN waggle my ears independently of my scalp! I've been asked how but all I know is if I concentrate hard on them moving they do!!!!

Split an apple in half, cleanly, with my bare hands. It's not so astounding, but when you get people to try it...they can't

Gala and Golden Delicious are easy...Granny Smith are tough to split.

It used to really hack a guy off at work. He was fit as a ratchatchers dog...but couldn't do it

I used to be able to climb through a broom.

Start with it in front of you, held by both hands a couple of feet apart. Step over it and bring it up behind you and back over your head to the original position. You are allowed to move your hands up and down the broom and loosen your grip, but not to take either hand off it i.e. you cannot reverse your grip.

You need to be strong, slimmish and flexible. If you are actually at a party, it is better if the furniture is someone else's.

I can/used to be able to burp the alphabet in one long continuous burp!

It wasn't Monsieur Mangetout, was it?

I played rugby with a tough nut South African man called Jos. After a few pints, he used to order a scotch, drink it and chew his way through the glass - but not the stems. I still cringe when another one of this group opens bottles with his teeth - and he's still doing it. :xx

I can take my eye out and give it to my other half under the table, so he can stick it in his mouth and blink with three eyes at once.
