Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Damn!
I'm really more of a pour booze in glass. Drink sort of person.
I had a friend get a screwdriver recipe named after him. Basically, you fill a glass with the vodka of your choice, open the refrigerator, show the orange juice to the glass of vodka, say "that was almost in you," and drink.
Maybe close the refrigerator door at some point.

So after five hours at school cleaning out drawers and making files and organizing, then half-falling asleep while getting ready to leave, I run into the principal on the way out.

Sad about Jack Palance, but he's had a pretty good run. Wasn't he half a billion years old already?

Sounds similar to the (probably urban legend) Winston Churchill method for mixing a martini. (Fill a martini glass with gin while looking vaguely in the direction of the vermouth.)

Half a billion SEEMS old -- until you are 499,999,999 and then...

I've seen at least one recipe that instructs you to wave the vermouth bottle over the glass of gin.
