Would any of you who could do that nifty pen twirling trick that I saw so frequently at GCC be willing to post instructions on how to do it? It would be really appreciated. THANKS!  |

the creamer flipping and pen flipping. i do the pen flipping all of the time. Hold a pen (i do it in my right hand) like you will write with it - but mine rests on my ring finger not my middle finger (like most people). The pen needs to be scooched up a bit. I am using a hotel pen right now with a lid. THe lid is under my thumb. anyway slightly push with your middle finger. and stop it at the revoltion. I think i gave a speech on pen twirling! LOL |

Hello everyone. After reading all of your stories concerning GCC I have finally been able to successfully sign up. I am one of the named plaintiffs in the class action suit. I want to thank everyone for their stories both good and bad. It has taken alot of strength to come forward after all these years however after reading some of the posted messages of other peoples struggles I was compelled to come forward. I read what everyone writes so its not a waste of time and I thank all for taking the time to post. Tim Blacklock. Merry Christmas everyone. |

That was beautiful! Although I was hoping to see someone spinning a fuzzytop pencil. Here is a video with full instructions on HOW to pencil twirl. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GdVVt_jXJvM&feature=related |
