Write a guide to your stupid skills

Im bored so i wrote a guide to the crane game.

The Art of the Claw

The claw game as you know is that arcade game with the 3 legged claw that goes over the animal you wish to have and brings it back to the box and drops it so you can collect it as your prize. Simple, right? WRONG! To have skill at the claw does not include how well you control the claw it all depends on what you are going after and know your claws. The most important rule of the claw or crane game is beggars can’t be choosers, you go after what you can GET NOT what you WANT! One important thing to know is most claws do not apply pressure they just drop and more than likely if you go for the wrong shaped toy the claw will slip off. I am the master of the claw, as far as I know no one has ever gotten a triple prize in the claw machine. I have. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Know some times you go into that big arcade and there’s this one GIANT crane game. I have faced that claw twice and have won twice. Here are some rules for that particular claw.

Rule1# That claw actually DOES apply some pressure to it. The most important thing is to get an animal on top. Not just on top but a great thing to see is an animal with spaces under it at least a little. In this crane game if you get a good grip when first start and more than likely it would survive the trip back to the box.
Rule 2# I have seen people going after some pretty stupid stuff in that machine. Do not go after anything that is not on top. This goes for any crane game.

Now for rules that apply to most crane games

Rule 1# You don’t always go for the head unless u can have a good grip on it. Aim for the body and make sure the body can easily fit into the claw.
Rule 2# If you go for something and you don’t get it and hell it didn’t even move. Do not go after it unless you have a new plan go for something else.
Rule 3# Don’t mess with the claw if the machine doesn’t have anything good in it.
Rule 4# How well you can do at the crane game depends on what is IN the crane game and if you can SPOT it.

If you have a pretty much useless skill your really good at it post a guide.

The claws have springs on each finger at the top. So the pressure is variable. It's easier to go after a big item than a small one since the tension will be greater the further the claw is spread.

When you fill the machine, the trick is to pack the "prizes" down. That way they apply pressure to those surrounding. If you want a specific item, plan on spending multiple tokens to get it. It has to be loosened from the surrounding material.

And remember: They are designed to make margin. It is nearly always less expensive to go buy the item directly unless you are lucky and someone has loosened a higher value item previously.

Naw, it's impossible to offend me.

I agree. I'm pointing out that the grip is stronger the wider it's spread, though.

Well, how to cross just one eye. (NOTE: This requires the ability to cross one's eyes in general) Keep in mind, this is how I taught myself and it may be different from what someone else may have done.

1. Focus on a single object a couple feet from your face.

2. Cross your eyes.

3. When you see two images, focus on one of them.

4. Continue to cross your eyes further (thought not enough to hurt yourself), but still focus on that same image.

At this point, one eye should be looking straight and the other crossed in.

5. Switch your focus to the other image.

Rinse, and repeat.

Ok i have a useless skill (i cant beleive im writing this but it is senseless banter so here goes)

how to fart unlimited times:

ive farted 120 times in a row using this method it takes some time to get it to work well.

step 1 get on your knees and relax your arms parallel against the side of your ribs pointing opposite the way your facing. so that your butt is facing as close to 90 degrees as possible but you are still in a relaxed position.

step2 completely relax your body and wait for the feeling to come then let it out but dont tense up at all. The air seems to go straight back in and then can be pushed out again and again and again. this works best with loose clothing (or no clothing would work even better).
