    I did that circumference vs. height one. Did the whole buildup and then realized I was in a room full of architects... they all got it wrong

      @TheTechAdmin 3 года назад +1

      They got it WRONG? I feel like this is one of those situations where it went bad, so you just tell everyone it went the way you wish it went, lol. I took drafting for 2 years and wouldn't fall for that at my drunkest. Anyone who knows pie, technically, shouldn't fall for it either.

      @@TheTechAdmin the thing is that in retrospect it is all logical. But once one creates an environment where people start trusting instinct more than actual math, it becomes different. And even with math, it’s still guessing at one length that doesn’t have a straight line, multiplying it with 3.something in your head and then guessing how high the glass is. A guess times a weird number compared to another guess has lots of room for error.

    I know what you mean by closer and had to share my best that has won me dozens of drinks. Thought you might enjoy even if you can’t accomplish. The bet is simple, I’ll bet you that I can put one foot flat on the floor and one foot flat on the ceiling at the same time. I’m 6’1” to start with then I’ll explain how dexterous I am and put both palms flat on the floor while standing straight (not bending my knees). When they accept the bet, I will remove my prosthetic leg and touch it to the ceiling.

    Scam school has helped me bring a smile to many faces. There is only one bar in my area and I recently saw a woman who looked mad. Tried to cheer her up and she told me to F off she wasn’t going to sleep with me. Told her I wasn’t interested anyway she just looked like she needed a distraction and some cheering up. It’s not always about that sometimes people just like to make other people smile.

      1) If one is going to correct another's spelling, perhaps one should make sure one's own English is above reproach. "'Than,' not 'then.'" Punctuation is important too. And that's leaving aside the issue of the incomplete sentence.
      2) Ha! Dexter Holland looks ridiculous. But not *that* ridiculous. But at least Brian isn't still doing it twenty years later.
      C) The Offspring were my *jam.* And still rock.

    As an Aussie I would just mention that Jim Morrison (yes, the Doors frontman - that one) was born in Melbourne. Most Aussies KNOW he was an American, so I'd bet a beer on the fact he was born in Melbourne. They'd take the bet that he was NOT born in Melbourne, and then fume when they discover there is a Melbourne in Florida.

Glad to run across your channel again, it's good to see some all round good time stuff you can have fun with friends or strangers face to face being still put out now, I have seen all those ones plus use a fair few myself so I subscribed as I think more good old fun should be passed on to people like your channel seems to be doing.

    The bottle inversion one was fun, I got it first try. I think its easier to hold steady with the ring finger and flip with index middle and thumb, but its really just about making gravity do work for you in a couple directions. Would have been a lot harder to experiment with people watching, and I did it pretty fast, but you could always call it if you saw someone getting close.

    I have one I always win with. Bet that you can stand them in an open space an that you going to walk 3 circles around them and the bet is that you will get them to move out of that circle without touching them before youve even completed the 3rd circle. Starting from their front walk one circle around them , pause, and count 1 . Do another complete circle . Stop and say 2. Then walk away .

    Wasn't he trying to do this on modern rogue during some episode and he couldn't do it? I guess something about it was different. I just remember him rubbing the bottles to get rough surface and trying like 50 times or more lol. What was the variation?

    The match on the Battle. You can also lick or wet the stripe on the matchbox and slowly transfer onto the match. Then blow on it so it dries. Then light the match on any surface
