Try it out! If someone honestly can pull it off, I salute you!

That's a load of BULL! You put that on a tape and send it to me and then I'll salute you.


The slut part on the other hand...

And I don't have the uniform anymore.

Yeah, you can still keep your clockwise motion while doing the six, but it messes up your six, so it doesn't count.

If you do the foot twirling slowly it's easy, but that's probably cheating.

I do.

Oh wait, in what? In slowing down or doing the thing? If you do it slowly, it's easy, but fast it's not...

In doing it, no matter the speed.

True, but no one in their right mind writes sixes that way, so it doesn't count.

And Ninth, if you can do it without slowing down your foot at all then I applaud you.
