Here is a way to fool people that you are cracking your nose and really freak them out:

Put your hands together like you are praying and hold your nose between your fingers. The trick that they cannot see is that you hook your thumbnails behind your front teeth, and when you move your hands like you are cracking your nose you pull your thumbnails forward so they make snapping noises as they pull out from behind your teeth.

People get really grossed out at this stupid human trick.

Just wondering because my friend has an inversion table that his mom used for her back that is sitting collecting dust in the basement, and it could probably be purchased for next to nothing.

Wouldn't that be a great way to crack your back, if you were upside-down and fastened by your legs so your whole body weight pulls down?

You need a bed and a dresser that is very close to the bed. All you do is lay down lengthwise between the dresser and the bed on your back and cross your dresser-side leg over your body and jam it below the bed so that it is wedged there. Your body will be pretty twisted, which is good.

Then (depending on how long your arms are) you open up one of the dresser drawers so you can push up against it with the same side arm as whatever leg you have crossed over and wedged under the bed. Once you are sure the drawer can withstand the force you just shove up against the drawer and use the force to crank your back the opposite way from the bed.

It results in my back making a sound like a zipper as it cracks all the way up to the neck.

Yes, when I cannot fall asleep at night or am drunk I sit and obsess about new methods of cracking joints.

I have to confess that I have bizarre fantasies about devices and situations that will crack my back, and sometimes I obsess about them. I dream of being in a medieval torture rack or being chained between two cars and pulled apart until my back totally cracks.

Also, I have also thought about havingt a giant King Kong-sized being grab me with one hand around my shoulders and one hand around my waist and wring me out like a dishtowel.

Anybody else?

I know this is odd, but has anybody ever wondered about cracking a pet's back? I know my cats wouldn't dig it at all, but perhaps a dog would. Just think of the pleasure it would bring to a pet, plus the economic potential in having a pet chiropractic franchise!
