For example, I spent a whole April Fool’s Day once larping as someone from the first century, which wouldn’t be outside a mobile form of performance art.

    I have mastered the “art” of folding a taco wrapper in such a way that I can eat in the car and not get grease and sour cream all over myself.

        First, find the middle corners. One will usually be shorter than the other. Bring those corners together like you’re folding it in half, allow the taco to settle in the center of your little paper hammock.

        Next, look at the taco, and if one end has more ingredients than the other, that’s going to be the “biting” side.

        Fold the wrapper on the non-biting side towards the biting side. This should create a rear barrier, so nothing will drip out the back.

        Pull the wrapper on the biting side toward the floor. The biting side of the taco should now be exposed. Now pull that corner of the wrapper back up to create a cup under the biting side of the taco.

        Now, any bits of tomato and meat will fall into the drip cup.

        As you eat the taco, pull it up to the drip cup and tighten the fold in the back to hold everything in place. Once the taco is gone, feel free to scoop up any lost toppings, or simply fold up the wrapper and toss it.

        Kind of hard to describe in text. Let me know if you need me to draw a diagram. May your tacos be delicious and your pants be free of grease stains!

    About 15 years ago, my dad was doing some work on a manufacturing line and needed some technical drawings done (schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts). I was just starting college, but had learned Autocad in high school, so he hired me to make them.

    It paid well, and me being relatively inexperienced, I went the extra mile to make them clear, readable, and easy to work with. I think I did several dozen pages of drawings.

    Just this year, my dad was chatting with someone from that plant about something unrelated. The person asked how I was doing, and said those drawings were still the best ones anyone had done for them. Felt pretty good.

        Better than early CS:GO levels, but not as good as late, official CS:GO levels. That said, part of that is for performance and functionality sake, given that I wantted to leave the play area as clear as possible.

    I’m a sideshow performer, which is a nicer way of saying I am good at putting sharp objects where they don’t belong

    Really it’s more about combining danger (or the perception of danger), theatrics, and dance but at its core it’s silly to talk about. I call myself a professional weirdo

    Mine is not dissimilar. “Performance art” as one might call it. A lot of what is seen from me is character-based in nature.
