Hacky sack is a great way to pass some time with your friends and get a little exercise too. But it's harder than it looks. One of the worst things you can do when playing hacky sack is tense up. To combat tension and improve your game play, try to relax.

Do a quick run through your body and release any tension in your shoulders, neck, back or legs before playing. You can try consciously relaxing these areas. Another option is to tense your back, shoulders, neck and legs and then release them.

Take a moment to breathe before starting. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Some experts recommend taking a deep breath into the belly (relax your abdominal muscles to do this), holding it for a few seconds and then releasing it through the teeth.

Remember to breathe while playing. Stay loose while playing by breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. While this may take some practice to feel natural, it'll help you stay relaxed.

Center your thoughts before starting. Let go of any worries or anxieties you have from your day. If you notice your thoughts going back to these worries, focus your attention on your breathing.

Homemade bucket bong technique

Sup bros. This week we're discussing GBs, and I'm not talking about the Green Bay Packers. No, bros, we're talking gravity bongs, and how to make them out of things you'll find around the house. A little site called homemadebong.com will have you kicking the bucket with this one bros, literally.

Make a Bucket Bong
Also known as bucket bongs, beach bongs, and depth charges, this is essentially a device that uses gravity and air pressure to draw the smoke into a large chamber and then expel it quickly into the lungs. This gives much larger hits than most instruments, and it is possible to get quite fried quickly with a relatively small amount of weed.


Equipment:
A 2 Litre Plastic Soda Bottle (preferably transparent)
A 5 Gallon Bucket
A 5/8" Socket from a Tool Set
A Knife to cut the Soda Bottle
A Normal metal cone piece (or mesh) used in Marijuana Pipes or Bowls


Cut the plastic bottle at the very bottom where it starts to fold in on itself and form the bottom. Cut the whole bottom off the bottle. Next, put the screen into the 5/8" socket. This is your bowl. Think we're crazy? This size socket fits PERFECTLY into the mouth of the soda bottle. You can try any other cone piece that will fit- some head shops sell rubber corks with a hole in the middle for a metal cone piece. Another cheap alternative is a rubber hose with a cone piece that fits at the top. Place the bottle into the bucket and fill the bucket with water until it reaches close to the neck of the bottle. That's it!


Smoking:

Put a lighter to the bowl and gradually lift the bottle out of the water. The slower your lift the bottle, the more concentrated the smoke will be and vice versa. If you do it perfectly, the smoke looks like it's raining down the sides of the bottle- it's very beautiful when you're stoned.

Once the bottle is full, remove the bowl and place your hand over the top. It's now time for someone's turn! Put your mouth over the opening and let the bottle fall to the bottom of the bucket.

Don't try to suck the smoke in- Open your lungs and let gravity do the work. If you inhale or push the bottle down too fast, you might get a mouthful of bong water.

improvise beer pong supplies

When isn't a bro down for a game of beer pong? When there's no beer pong apparatus in his immediate vicinity. Well, thanks to our old pal Benjamin Lee at eHow.com, we now know how to improvise supplies like CIA spies.

From www.eHow.com, totally used without permission ...

Beer Pong, AKA Beirut, is undoubtedly the timeless sport of kings. Students of the game should naturally play on 8 foot tables with proper 38mm ping-pong balls, 16 ounce Solo cups and frosty Coors Light. But often in foreign climes or for freshmen without cars, the requisite supplies are wanting. This guide is designed to help improvise. Beer and cups are easy to improvise. Any 14 cups will do, even coffee mugs (a notoriously difficult shot, though) and any liquid will do, even Keystone Light. For tables and balls, often the hardest supplies to acquire, there are clever options.

Household items you'll need:

-Aluminum Foil

-Toilet Paper

-Some sort of flat surface at least 3 feet off the ground

Step1

Tightly fold 3 to 4 sheets of toilet paper in a ball.

Step2

Encase with about three layers of aluminum foil; just enough to keep its integrity. Your goal is make the ball as light as possible.

Step3

Voila! Each ball will last about a dozen shots before the liquid seeps through to the toilet paper, irrevocably weighing down the ball. Repeat this process as necessary.

Step4

For the table: All you need is a flat surface that can support a little weight and is at least 3 feet off the ground. Chairs make for excellent supports, as do large garbage bins. Bedboards, large cardboard boxes, and plywood all make good surfaces. Again: flat and stable is all you need.

Step5

Lay out the cups. If you are playing on a 4 foot long table, mark a line at least 2 feet from the table for each side. This is where players will shoot from. Defense can play close to their cups.

Step6

Strictly enforce the Elbow Rule. This means that the shooter’s elbow cannot cross the plane of the table’s edge while shooting. Unlike playing on a regular table, where a table's edge contains leaning, the Elbow Rule forces players to keep the minimum distance. This makes for a fair game.

Step7

Negate all shots that break the Elbow Rule. Leaning is for wimps anyway.

Orange slice jello shots - Way better than regular jello shots

Jello shots were great, until orange slice jello shots came along and totally one-upped regular jello shots. Of course, a large grapefruit could probably do the same to orange slice jello shots. This comes to us courtesy of The Surreal Gourmet on the Canadian Food Network, episode Big Meal on Campus. Totally used without permission ...

Orange Slice Jello Shots

Yield: 12

Ingredients:

• 2 x oranges
• 1 pkg orange-flavored Jello
• 1/2 cup Vodka

Directions:

1. Slice oranges in half. Using a spoon, scoop out all the flesh and divider pith. Reserve.
2. In a medium bowl, add Jello and 1/2 cup boiling water. When Jello has dissolved, add vodka. Pour liquid Jello into orange halves. Refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until firm. To serve, slice each half into 3 wedges. REMEMBER, YOU ARE SERVING SOLID BOOZE.

help remembering stuff

They say short term memory is the second thing to go, bros.

... And I totally forgot what the first was.

It seems obvious, but the phone alarm system works pretty well, so use it liberally, brahs. Even the crappiest old phones have multiple alarm settings, but it's the phone feature most frequently underutilized by bros. Even if you think you're going to remember something, program that shit in, brah! The act of programming it in helps solidify it your brain.

And that works for names, too. Type them as an outgoing text if your phone doesn't have a notes feature. Looking at/typing something on your phone is so innocuous nowadays it doesn't even matter, bros. You can take notes on everyone's names and interests. Then the next time you know you're going to see Bob you can quickly look up how the Brewers are doing beforehand, so you and Bob have something to talk about. But if you've run dry on the technology tip, bros, here's a good all-natural technique for remembering people's names, from Cougar1002 of eHow.com.

That's right, I said Cougar1002. Totally used without the cougar's permission ...

Have you ever had a situation where you're quickly introduced to someone and then later can't remember their name? What's worse is when the other person remembers yours and later keeps inserting it into the conversation! Most likely what has happened however is the person is using a memory technique to help remember your name. In this article, I'll give you ideas that can help you use memory techniques as well.

Step 1

First of all, you have to learn how to be prepared for situations where you may be introduced to some new people. I think part of the issue is we're sometimes caught off-guard with introductions when we really shouldn't be. If you're in a new job situation or a party, know ahead of time that you're going to meet some new people. This will cause you to pay attention.

Step 2

Hopefully when you meet the person, his or her name relates somehow to someone you already know. For example, I've had people say to me that my name was easy to remember because they have a sister, aunt, cousin, etc. with the same time. If you can relate the name to someone already familiar to you, the familiar person will be easier to bring up in your memory.

Step 3

To help the person's name sink in, picture it visually (written out) as well as saying it out loud. Basically when you meet the person, you can say, "Great meeting you, (name here)." Don't overdo it, but saying people's names a few times that same day in conversation will help you as well.
