  • raises one eyebrow, squints*
  • * *adds missing asterix*
  • My mom used to win free drinks by folding her toes together (interlacing them, like you do with your fingers). Didn't see that one on the list. My mom was weird. Explains a bit about me too, I guess. :)
  • *pokes thread with stick, leers*
  • My toes are weird. Most of them are double-jointed. I will try to score a few pints on the basis of this.
  • Isn't this how Bush got Tony Blair to go into Iraq? "Now Tony, if I can balance these 3 pint glasses ...?"
  • "... and you snort this magic white powder, I should be able to show you my plan..."
  • This one has worked for me several times in various liquor stores. I place four bottles of liquor on the counter. I then aske the clerk if he thinks that I can make him levitate and speak in Japanese. The clerk says no. I ask him if he is willing to bet the four bottles of alcohol on the counter that I can't do it. I then dramatically close my eyes, extend my arms toward him and begin chanting. After doing so for twenty seconds or so, I ask him to tell me in Japanese whether he levitated or not. If he says no, then I reach into my pocket and show him the gun I have. I tell him that if he does not allow me to leave with the bottles, then I will kill him. Then I gather up the bottles and leave without paying. Works every time.
  • and what do you chant?
  • Well, that is really the secret to the trick. A true magician reveals only enough for the student to be frustrated and never enough for the student to completely understand. I will give you a hint, however: the chant is based loosely on the words being recited on the way to the electric chair by the priest to Johnny Dangerously.
  • Does this have anything to do with women and children refusing to use a bathroom?
  • forum.posting@gmail.com???? Why not call yourself Spamasaurus? Spamocles? Der Obergruppenspammen? Really, "m2002", your approach lacks imagination.
  • BURN HIM!
  • I vote for Spamasaurus.
  • PLUCK OUT HIS EYES!
  • Here's what I do: first I get enrolled for about 12 years of schooling, and then about six more of tertiary education. Then I work at one of a variety of mind-numbing jobs in which my soul is crushed and all imagination surgically excised. Then I go to a bar and give them a plastic card and a couple of numerals and they give me all the drinks I want. So fuck you, boss - I'm posting drunk on company time.
  • *explains to quidnunc how credit cards work*
  • I can't believe no one has mentioned the old "flashing my boobs at the male bartender" trick. Works every time!
  • Does not work with manboobs.
  • Depends on who's tending bar.
  • The whole Wisebread business model seems to be one giant link whore machine ™.
  • So... If I can make the tip of my toe turn upwards at a 90 degree angle, could I get my story on Wisebread?
  • Dumb buns, they are! I can make my baby toe go 90 degrees sideways.
  • hey everybody...I'm eatin' a yummy egg-n-cheese bagel sammich fer brekkie right now :D
  • soy latte, extra cinnamon.
  • Veggie eggroll. Mmmmm.
  • Milk.
  • I'm eating humpback whale pup this afternoon. Don't worry, it's an authorized subsistence meal.
  • I'm having leftover meatloaf and rice for lunch today. *wants to trade*
  • *but not for humpback whale pup. Not that hungry*
  • I had free drinks, which were also authorized as substistence.
  • What ever happened to offering sex to the bartender?
  • Huh. All the girls in the vids had to do was walk up to any not-obviously-attached-with-mate-in-tow guy and ask for a drink. If you're a guy, be a regular somewhere, tip very well, and don't be a jerk. For a while there, it was cheaper for me to drink at a bar than buy beer at a supermarket. Still, these will be fun bar tricks to try out. Speaking of which, it's Fri night, yay!
  • My mom used to win free drinks by folding her toes together (interlacing them, like you do with your fingers). Didn't see that one on the list. I can see it now: Mrs. Live Frogs: Hey, barkeep! Look what I can do with my toes! Unsuspecting Barkeep: *jumping* AAH! Look, if I give you a free drink will you promise to put your shoe back on and never do that again? Mrs. Live Frogs: Make it a double.
