I can get really really drunk, make out with a bunch of guys, and end the night lying on the floor in my puke, crying.

In secondary school, my party trick was simply going to the party and people being shocked that I was drunk/high/whatever because I was a bit of a geek so I guess they expected me not to do those things.

that used to happen to me! except i only got invited by 6th form, yet they were still suprised to see me


my party trick used to be flying planes. however, someone has since pointed out to me that this is not at all practical during a party. trilingualism is pretty rare in the UK, i go for that one. failing that, my other trick is to fing a quiet area and get nice and high real quick

SO are you saying that isn't a SPECIAL talent?

Pretty much, but my special talent isn't special either.

As far as party pleaser, my general eccentricities make up for my lack of any particular talent. I do have an unusually good memory though. For example, if you posted your picture in the faces to names thread a long time ago in the CC, I can probably remember what you look like well enough to recognize on the street. For some pictures I can even describe camera angles, location, facial expression, and hairstyle. I would make a really good stalker. I also remember a lot of random things like different user's professions I was told years ago and things like their living arrangements or anything mentioned in passing.

It wasn't me being there and much as people thinking I was too geeky to get wasted.

Also, how do you use a lighter to open a beer? I've never seen anyone do that.

I knew a kid who tried to impress people at parties by opening beer with his teeth. He chipped his tooth.

Quail
20th January 2011, 22:17
Yeah loads of my friends open bottles with their teeth and I always feel terrible when they open mine like that in case they chip a tooth and it's my fault for letting them do it.

I learned in 7th grade when my sister's X told me to try and do it, and if I couldn't, I would have to down a beer til I could...obviously I was drunk by the end of the night lol

Its not hard though, just put the edge of the lighter at the bottom of the cap with your index finger wrapped around the lighter. Use your other hand and pull the lighter down from the top & Wah LAH!

I can play classical guitar quite well while quite drunk, and run very, very, very quickly and dexterously.

I've also knocked over my lit hookah at all of my parties. :confused:

I've got pretty used to opening beer bottles with things that aren't openers (teeth, walls, tables, lighters, screwdrivers, pliers, a WWI artillery shell and so on) but that's not really a talent it's alcoholism with a basic grasp of levers. I can down pints faster than most people, too.

It wasn't "nerds gone wild" in the sense of someone who's never been drunk before getting hammered (although admittedly I did influence some of my friends to do that :o), so much as my group of friends breaking the stereotype that nerds don't drink or do drugs :lol:

I have almost done something similar with shisha coals. I had knocked over the hookah and picked the coal up with my tongs. I then attempted to eat it. Luckily my friends stopped me. :lol:

At outdoor bonfire parties we used to play "hot potato" with burning coals. It was always extra fun when someone would hit it particularly hard and it would break into 10 different pieces. Eye shots could be quite amusing too.

I have a high level of alcohol tolerance---Usually the last one standing in any drinking competition.

Probably had something to do with the fact that my grandpa let me drink alcohol all the time when I was little. It wasn;t illegal or anything.

I don't like to stand out too much clothes-wise. I have to wear something more revealing than a baggy tshirt/jumper and jeans.

Ehhhh no?

Thats cool though, I would love to be a better public speaker. Last time I did it for my work, I ended up shaking and cracking my voice like a little 9 year old girl.

I on the other hand don't stand out at all (or at least not of a function of anything I do deliberately, one can only be so inconspicuous at 198cm.)

I can down a glass of beer in like 5 seconds. And open a beer bottle with almost anything that can be used as a lever somehow. This includes almost anything that is hard and has an edge.
