How do you show off with non-cubers?

[TioMario]

Besides from solving the cube. What other things that we consider trivial do you use to make non-cuber's mouths fall to the ground?

Personally, I love doing PLL's and the (R' U R U')X6 thing very fast.

EDIT: I found this R perm works very well --> (R' U2) (R U2) (R' F) (R U R' U') (R' F') (R2 U')

make non-cuber's mouths fall to the ground?

Why would I want to do that?

You think is better to make their heads explode?

I used to peel the stickers off and put them in the right place again when I was young.

I can't believe you just said that...lol.

It's weird how every non cuber tells you that, and their friends laugh...everytime!!! I don't understand it.

 

[TioMario]

I think it's mostly because peeling the stickers off is lame...

Oh, the non cubers say that to me after I show them some cube stuff, haha.
I have never said that in my life. (x

The smart people realize it's not the stickers that need to change and take it apart anyway.

I start solving with one hand and say.
"I started learning after seeing Pursuit of Happiness. You know, I hate people like that, saying 'I'm smart because I can solve a rubik's cube" (by this time I'm already finished, I say ^THAT^ in the middle) "You know, if you see anyone like that, tell me, I can escort them away"

I agree. I tried taking off the stickers but they wouldn't stick back on. Then I realized it was easier to take the whole cube apart xD <--this was years before I learned to actually solve the cube though.

theres a difference between impressing them, and being a douche about it, people know when you show off. and they get pissed off when you show off.

I sing, and everyone is always amazed how beautiful my voice is.

This is a true story.

If anyone ever says "how do you solve it so fast?" I try to preempt the inevitable stickers comment by saying: "Oh I'm not turning it, I'm just peeling the stickers REALLY fast. That's the secret "

I try to do it in a way to make light, meaning I don't say it in such a way as to come across as a douche. Most of the time it is successful at preempting the stickers comment though

I say "Its maaaaagic!" while waving my hands in circles.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Shouldn't it be "How do you show off to non-cubers?" or "How do you show off when you're with non-cubers?" instead of "How do you show off with non-cubers?" ?

Cubing Story:


Cubing in the middle of a busy place at a meetup

A group of teenagers suddenly come up and surround us three cubers. It was freaky. Everywhere you looked there was a teenager staring at the cube.

Wow! omg How fast do you do that?

Me (Embarrassed that someone has seen me playing with the cube): Bout 30
seconds

Person: So is there like a formula to do this or somethin?

Me: Yes, of course there is!

Person: Are you smart?

Me: No

*I continue with my Average of 5....*
*ZB_FTW!! then does a quick solve*

Person: O..My..GAUD WAT DA F--

A teenager from the group: What the f-- man! How you suppose to get the chicks with this sh--?

*We both get nervous and then end up with a pretty slow Avg.:fp *

It was pretty fun anyway ^^
