I eat pies with a spoon.

wut...

 

[THRILLHO]

He peels the lid off, eats that, then eats the mince meat with a spoon, leaving the pastry shell until last.

 

[The Passenger]

i did that with pies as a kid but didn'nt use a spoon.

good way to do it. the pastry shell gets nice and juicy. might do it with my next pie.

 

[BarneyBent]

**** spoons. I used to eat pies with a straw.

 

[-CG-]

When I eat hot chips at home I pick through them and put the 'bad' ones on a corner and eat them first leaving the good ones for last

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

I race cars as I walk.

Eg. If I'm walking along the path (mainly at night), I will say to myself "if you reach that tree before the next car does, Collingwood will win this week."

Good fun!

* I have to jump at least once just before i go to bed.
* Have to take a stroll around while brushing my teeth (It's just so boring doing it any other way!)
* Have to take a dump just before I leave for school.
* When I'm finished at my locker I always spin the lock either side of zero so no one picks up on any of my spinnig patterns and therefore discovering my code (from what I've seen this is pretty common at my school).

That's all I can think of right now.

 

[Joshen]

Probably common but always give an estimate of how long things will take and count down but will cheat at the end i.e. "the light will turn green in 10 seconds" 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2 *pause* 1 *pause* 1/2 (held out) 0.

 

[blues4flag]

Touch the floor randomly. Copped a cut above my upper lip (oh so close to a broken nose) when I tried it in the dark and hit the top my bedpost.

How I miss my bunk bed.

 

[Lazarus]

^^well that was stupid

lol, I do something similar to that with basketball. "If I make this shot, 'x' will happen". It rarely does, but that's never stopped me. Man, I'm ****ed in the head!!

When I'm playing a computer game/flash game/whatever that requires a prolonged period of not stuffing up (e.g. Doodle Jump, helicopter game, etc) and I'm trying to get to a certain score, I sometimes imagine a terrorist of some sort has taken my entire family hostage and will kill them if I don't get it done in the next four turns, as a form of inspiration.

Lol, I used to do something like that, it works really well too at times. I do it now when I need to but can't go to the toilet. "Hold it in, explode and they die". It still works, unorthodox yes but it works.

Yeah. Cant handle standing at the sink. We have bathrooms at opposite ends of the house and I walk between them while brushing.

Whenever I'm waiting at the lights, when they drop to green I always say, "lights down, racing now" like a horseracing commentator.


Also, one that isnt that uncommon I wouldnt think is whenever I make a milo I always eat a couple of spoonfuls straight from the tin.

Not that weird...but at the start of tennis GSs I print out the empty draw and fill it in myself as the games go on.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Card games are underrated 500 and Euchre

bridge, presidents and arseholes, bullshit, poker, blackjack, 13 and 51. seriously at uni or whereever we used to turn the area into a card joint everyone watching one or one of us losing the plot over a loss.

i just remembered another one, when i was a kid i had an obsession with street directories literally memorised suburbs and all, did it with a few other states, looking back in hindsight it really did pay off when i got my licence and car.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Man, Bridge has such a negative connotation attached to it. I doubt I could find anyone under the age of 40 who knows how to play.

For now I'll have to stick to subtly winning friends over to 500.

i know about 20 guys who love it, but its probably because its played passionately in some ethnic backgrounds. i remember at one time in a bar had a few went outside to the alfresco and had a bridge game rolling, got up to 23-21 to us and at that point we realised there was a crowd and everyone watching our moves that we just ended it and walked back to the bartender. its extremely addictive and as someone mentioned earlier have to be very strategic.

i know its caused various arguments and fighting over it,theres a particular the 6 way version thats played in the middle east where certain signals can be sent between players to choose the suit to cut.

I do that too, it's great. Keeps you connected with the tournament after your favourite player gets eliminated.

- My dancing ability goes on a downward spiral as the increased in people possibly viewing me increases. Im a dancing machine at a small gathering but when it gets big I end up doing the clap shuffle at best

 

[Tulip]

found something tonight - does anyone else kinda fall forward just a fractioin when you walk onto an escalator that isn't moving?? i remember once asking my mates and they all thought i was a weirdo....

WOW. noticed this at Borders the other week. Was scary and always happens

 

[Kruges!]

I always have to smash up the ice in my water bottle rather than letting it thaw out. Probably a bit of laziness on my part but I just love the feeling of smashing the ice with a knife and eating the chunks.

 

[The Passenger]

if i go into a toilet in a pub and there is a random tap over the pisser (which happens semi regularly) i'll turn it on for no apparent reason..... unless someone is standing near it and i may wet them

 

[Ed_Gein]

whilst in the shower, filling my mouth with water then squirting it out like a fountain and seeing how long i can do it for.

 

[tb_fanboy]

Get up to go to toilet a 1am. Pee sideways so I can both the bowl and doorway. Finish then check once more for ninja/zombie with blood coming out the mouth. Slowly close door then sprint to my room followed by 2 mertre leap for safety to my bed. Repeat everytime.

I've done the following sports in dice form

- Dice Footy (2 rolls per quarter per side, first for goals, 2nd for behinds. If it rolls off the surface it's a 0. Even tried to redo the 1996 season once with full teams for the feature matches of the round, ladders and even a Coleman Medal count but generally did it for a NAB Cup type tourney pre-Super Goal days)

- Dice Cricket (when I was primary school aged it was 1 was out, and each batsman represented an individual wicket until numbers 10 and 11 which was
treated as a pair. Later it became partnerships and 5 was out rather than 1)

- Eraser cricket (as per dice cricket except off the bed was out with the scorebook on the floor)

- Dice Rugby League (5 rolls per half but was 3 for Sevens Fixtures, 3's and 5's were nothing, 4 was a try, 6 a converted try, 2 a penalty goal and 1 a field goal. Union could be played by tweaking some numbers)

- Dice Soccer (2 rolls per game, 1 for each half. 1-3 rolled was the number of goals scored in that half, 4-6 was nothing)

- Dice Baseball (1 for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a triple, 4 for a homer, 5-6 were out, no walks. Needed a wooden peg contraption for who was on what base)

- Dice Golf (pretty self explanatory but making up a course was the hard bit)

Pencil sharpner hockey was the bomb at school.

Thick text books/pencil cases either side of table are goals, pencil sharpner is the puck, the sticks are pens, off the table is an out and a free to the other person, and don't be a f***ing d*** and hit the sharpner with your hand.
Go for your life

(Once played with a mate for an hour during religion, won 102-79
