Dale,
way to go!! Back in High School ( about 16 years gone now ), I could do the same, and cut a soda can in two....Sliced my eye pretty good once, as well.

: outside snuffing candle flames. Sometimes it takes fifteen tries,
: sometimes just one (those are the most thrilling). But at last I have
: the marker figured out. I have a brick, which I set my foot on to
: give me the perfect position. From there I can strike at the candle
: and almost repeatedly put out the flame within three tries.
: So, I am officially "bad" with the bullwhip.
