The trick from changing a conversation from annoying to actually interesting is to have a repertoire of questions that will throw the other person completely off, so they actually have to think instead of saying things they said a thousand times before.

So ask them:

• In a fight between a Victorian coal miner child, Medieval farm peasant peasant child and an ancient Roman house servant child, who would win?
• Would the results change if each of the children were given a Whiteclaw and a Redbull?
• If these three children were put in a Power-Rangers style Mech suit, who would control which body part? (All are still under the influence of the Whiteclaw+Red Bull combo)
