I'd like to see Bookies communicating current odds and prices to one another across dog and equestrian race-tracks using stylised nunchuck techniques.
Given the opportunity, I'd take this a step further and extend the nunchuck thing out into other hand-waving (and under certain circumstances, non-hand
waving) professions such as:
Traffic Police
Aircraft Waver-onners
Morris Dancers
Semaphorists
Royal Guards at Buckingham Palace
Black Rod (after a suitable namechange)
and Potentially the Queen - during beknightment ceremonies.
There's no actual point or benefit to be gained, other than stimulating further nunchuck usage in daily British Society.
HHWWWWWOOOAAARRRR!!!

You mean when I finally get knighted by the queen she's going to bonk me with nunchuks? Great movie, you have to watch it at least once... [normzone, Oct 14 2011]

[+] I like it. (I also mis-read Nunchuck Wedding- of which I totally approve!) |
|

[+] for the prospect of Roman Catholic incense-
burner nunchucks. |

What other benefit could be possible, or more desireable ? |

<psssst> They're properly called "Ground Marshals" or "Apron Marshals", and it's best to be nice to them unless you fancy 150 tonnes of aircraft rolling over your foot .... |

I should think being run over by an L1011 would be an
improvement on the state of your average black pudding. |
|
| |
Go and wash your brane (if any) out with soap and water. It's only small, so it won't take long ... |
|
| |
Black Pudding is a delicacy in Lancashire. |
|
| |
On consideration, that probably tells you all you need to know about Lancashire. And Black Pudding. |
|
| |
Note that Black Pudding is the weapon of choice for practitioners of the traditional Lancastrian martial art of "Ecky Thump". |

Okay, now I'm just laughing too hard to craft a clever
retort. |
|
| |
You're funny, but not that funny. Wishful thinking at it's
finest, ladies and gentlemen! |
|
| |
What, like you wish you were capable of thinking ? |
|
| |
// I'm just laughing too hard to craft a clever retort // |
|
| |
Hardly surprising. Glassblowing while laughing is not recommended. |
|
| |
Start with something less challenging, like a bowl or a tumbler. |
|

// What, like you wish you were capable of thinking

Nice one. Very schoolyard. |

Presumably you were always on the outside, looking in .... |
|
| |
Whereas you were on the ground, looking up. |
|

"Everyone's in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars ...." |
|
| |
And, no, actually, we were usually standing in the background, chuckling malevolently at the fight we had precipitated by careful disinformation of the protagonists. |
|
| |
That was before we progressed from malevolent chuckling to "MUHWHAHAHAHAAH !" and finally to "Resistance Is Futile" ... |
|

Ahh, the innocence of youth... |

Yes, the 2.71 picoseconds that elapse between being born, and the realisation that everyone from North-East of Rochester N.H. lacks that tiny but crucial 0.1% difference in genetic material between Homo Sapiens Sapiens and the Higher Primates (e.g. Canadians) ? |

Are you suggesting that the remainder of the US _isn't_
populated by slack-jawed troglodytes? |

Oh, nice targeting, by the way. You almost nailed me, I
can see your ranging shot from here. Leave it to the Borg
to use a 10-megaton nuke as a marker round. |
