BrentA: Hula Hoop w/Best Of ‘Em

Brent Andrews: Picked up a hula hoop at a church retreat a couple of weeks ago on a lark. I hadn't seen one in years. To my wife's dismay and embarassment I proceeded to style that hoop up and down and around and around, until I drew a small crowd of surprised kids. I can send the hoop down to my thighs then bring it up to my chest whirling all the while. I only dropped it when I tried to go below the knee. I don't know what being an awesome hoola-hooper says about me. There is no cornier thing than a grown man working a hula hoop, but it's hecka fun.

Question: What kind of corny thing can you do to embarrass your kids, wife, or friends?
