extreme apple picking

The sport of driving through an apple orchard at approximately 15-25 mph with your car windows open, and grabbing as many apples as you can without getting hit in the face by the branches.

Note: This sport was invented by Ike Vinpa, and he has the certificate to prove it

We almost got hurt last week when we went extreme apple picking

sweep picking

A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.

The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.

Artists that commonly use sweep picking include Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Alexi Laiho

Picking Up Scraps

The art of taking credit for an accomplishment that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Alternatively, acheiving a goal only after someone has done most or all of the work for you.

Bob: Damn, that project was rough. But I think I really pulled it off.

Jeff: Yeah..you pulled it off alright. (smiles wickedly)

Boss: Why Jeff, what an excellent job you did on that project, we should talk about your promotion.

Bob: (face turning 10 shades of red, he begins to hop up and down) But..but..no...he's PICKING UP SCRAPS!

Boss: Bob, perhaps you would benefit from some..counseling..

Nose picking

The action of inserting one of the index fingers into either nostril, and clearing out residue in the nose called a booger.

Even though most of us would say EW if we saw it in public, everybody does it...everybody.

How do people keep their nostril's clear everyday? Blowing their noses? I don't think so.

Matt: YUCK! Stop nose picking! That's gross!

Josh: Why? You do it everyday in your car after school.

Matt: Eh, true.
