Useless How-To Thread

[RobinHood3000]

This is like the Crash Course thread, but it's for all those things that are considerably less practical than guitar or cooking, but that we've always wanted to learn, anyway.

If anyone wants to learn to moonwalk or roll a coin along the tops of their fingers, lemme know. On the same note, anyone who can give me the secret to doing the Peter Pan Hook crow, the Yautja/Predator clicking sound, or crushing an empty can on my head, please post! :D

the Yautja/Predator clicking sound


Yeah I'd like to know that one too. Also, can anyone teach me to whistle. Ever since I got my braces off I've lost the touch.

Ouch, I feel I've been dissed.

If it was because of something I said I can assure you it was unintentional.

Okay, whistling - people will tell you to purse your lips, but that's not quite it. Think of whistling as the ability to control the "leading edge" of your lips. Point your upper lip down like you're trying to shave a moustache. That's the basic shape your upper lip should be in, except that it should be toned down a bit (say, halfway between where your lip normally is and as far as it can go). Bring your lower lip up so that there's a small circular hole between your lips, push both lips slightly outwards, and start blowing. Adjust until you have the optimum sound, and that should about do it.

I'll practice that.


Now how about that moonwalking?

I really have no talents to share unfortunately.

I guess most of my talents are quite useless :lol: I mean, when do you have to read a book and play the piano at the same time? :D

MOONWALKING: Works best on a slippery floor and when wearing shoes

Step 1) Stand with one foot on tiptoe (foot 1) and one foot flat on the floor (foot 2).

More steps later! :p
