The pen-flip is one of the most integral characteristics of the Debate activity and "culture." (Which is why i posted it here instead of somewhere else)
what pen-flips can you do?


edit: elitism it is

IM me for the site if you want to learn

this is sweet haha, but this is one case where I think information shouldn't be shared with everyone. I like the elitism that's connotated by my ability to flip pens, and your inability to do so haha.

Penflipping is fun, i never get bored when i'm doing it. I can flip it, kick it back, and flip it again. I can't do more than that consistently, but my record is 7 times back and forth. I know a guy that can do it for a lot longer than i can, and consistently.

I don't care about the spreading of the knowledge, somehow a whole lot of people in our school can do it anyway. I think it's silly to go to lengths to hide it, but those who wish to simply not teach i have nothing against that, but i'll teach anyone who wants to know, unless i don't like them.

yea i know, it becomes second nature once you get used to it...sometimes you just do it without knowing.

Plus its always nice to impress the "lesser" people with your dexterity and pen skills.

by that definition, any habit could be bad. It seems more rational that a habit would be bad if it affected other people, was bad for health, or bad for hygiene, etc.
