Pulling a Bernie

Falling asleep in a class while wearing sunglasses so the professor can't tell you are asleep. Named after the movie Weekend at Bernie's.
Class was so boring that Jake started Pulling a Bernie so that his teacher didnt know he was sleeping.

Pullin' a Bernie 

Comes from the 1989 film "Weekend at Bernie's"
It's when you fall asleep sitting in a chair of some sort i.e. desk or couch with sunglasses on. The best ways to pull a Bernie are to stay loose and fall asleep with some sort of neutral grin.
Andrew: Look's like Jake is passed out in the middle of class.
Will: Nah man, he's pullin' a bernie.

pulling a Beanie 

The career-furthering act of forming an amazing new band which will hopefully match or surpass the band from which you have for whatever reason left. Can also be used to describe forming a side project which makes your usual band look sucky. Named for Steve "Beanie" Hewitt who is one person notable for this stunt.
1. Have you seen their MySpace? That one's pulling a Beanie.

2. Their EP is already better than her old band's album - she pulled a Beanie.
