Back before Seattle got all expensive and exclusive, I remember going to street fair type events and the guy would often pass the hat and perform. He milked the shit of of it, but he was awfully good. You just had to watch a long time to see what he could really do.

Our school used to have skating parties at the local rink a couple times a year. Try doing the limbo rock on skates.

I usually did pretty well, last or neat last to remain standing. Taller kids said that I had an unfair advantage. I am only 5'1" today. In 9th grade, I think I was 4'10".
