Tell me your party trick - Name one thing you can do that is entertaining or out of the ordinary, like inhaling a dog tag chain through your nose and pulling it out through your mouth, or opening beer bottles with a fish knife.
I'll go first. I sing surprisingly good acapella renditions of old Irish drinking songs. Plus, I can touch your nose with my tongue. Which may not seem like much of a feat unless you're 3 sheets to the wind and didn't quite process what I said until after you've made the bet.

I routinely use a regular butane lighter as a bottle opener. Doesn't seem very entertaining to me but it seems to generate awe in the masses.

Hmmm, butane lighter... reminds me of an old high school party trick. Hold that lighter up to a, er, certain part of the anatomy and let her rip and shoot out a foot long flame

I always used to use brick windowsills, but there aren't many of those around here. :-[

Never have understood why people couldn't figure that one out. Easy to do but you can drop jaws.
I'm only 5' 8" tall but can kick over a 6' 2" persons head. Always seems to surprise someone when they find your foot an inch away from their face.

Open a beer bottle with a dollar bill:

Amen to that! :P

If I'm just buzzed enough a dead ringer for Sinatra singing New York

I used to be able to spit out a good 15' from between the gap in my front teeth, but I got that fixed. Oh well.

If I'm just buzzed enough a dead ringer for Sinatra singing New York
Hell, I only need a cup of coffee for that. I love Sinatra.

In the days when I was playing in bands, I once cleared an entire bar full of drunks by singing one verse of "Mustang Sally"! Yes, I'm that bad....

Useful to know if we ever have too rowdy a crowd at club night or pro brewer's night.

If I bring the ukulele to NHC this summer, I'd say our GC meeting is in danger!

Frank Sinatra's contribution to American music is immense.

Denny that's too funny.
You can't be that bad.... can you? :-\

Where and when is NHC?

Is it too late to drop out of the election? ;D
On that note... don't forget to vote for your Governing Committee!

I can catch an unwrapped roll of quarters off of my elbow, like in that episode of Happy Days.
-
I can snort a string up my nose, and yak it out my mouth. I can also shoot Iced tear out of my left eye.
-
How do you ice your tears?
-
I can hold my breath for four minutes.
I'm also really fast at mental math, but somehow that never comes up at parties.
-

Ahh, the real trick is to snort it up one side of your nose and out the other!
You know that there is a Guiness Book World Record for the distance you can shoot milk out of your eye?
Maybe you could start the beer record!

Carbonated drink are WAY to painful!

But if you could snort out the other side of your nose and and tie it into a surgeons knot....only then would be impressed. ;D

Why does this not surprise me?! ;)
For some reason, my wife and kids seem to find my mere existence entertaining. Either they're too easily amused - or I'm a complete dork. Unfortunately, I think it's probably the latter.... :-[
-
I can open a beer bottle with a water bottle, a lighter, my wallet or a knife (gotta work on the paper trick). I can do a passable impression of Miss Piggy, Yoda, Jar-Jar Binks, and Chewbacca. I do Scottish, Jamaican and Australian Accents. I can also do the sounds of a cow elk call, a duck, a howler monkey and a poodle throwing up. For the finale, I can recite the Greek alphabet 3 times in under 13 seconds.
Lots of useless tricks that mostly just entertain family members and annoy my wonderful, patient wife.

-
Yes, but can you do a duck with a Jamaican accent?
-

And what kind of training program did you go through that gave you that skill? ;)

I'm 6'3" so I will refrain from letting you try that on me.
-
5' 8" ? No wonder we never "see eye to eye". ;)
-
LOL. Yeah, I'm not a very big guy. I'm also only 158 lbs. I work out with around 245 on bench though, if that counts for anything. ;D
I should add, that kicking trick, while amusing to me, is not a favorite of others. :-\

Sorry, I just couldn't pass that up. No offense meant.
Cheers.

Absolutely none taken! In fact, I have had to put up with lots of short jokes all my like. For some reason most of my friends are 6 foot or taller. Come to think of it, I don't think I have a close friend shorter than me. That's weird. I never thought about that before until now.
These are only 6 gallon kettles. You can see how short I am. Look at those guns though. :P

If those are 6 gallon kettles you need a job with Wonka

Wait, you built a catwalk?

That was one of the trial runs on our 1.5 bbl system.
-
I'm confused by your lack of a sidearm is all. ;D
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't see any guns?

That's one for the memory books my friend. 8)

That picture weirds me out. I just keep comparing everything to everything else trying to figure out how that tiny man stirring those normal-sized brew kettles can really be so tiny. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at for 10 minutes before your brain can make any sense of it.

I can solve a Rubik's Cube in under 3 minutes. No where near the record but
it always amazes and annoys. My most common responses to solving it are
"I hate you."
"You suck"
"Oh, and that was kinda cool."
