So what you're saying is you've been hanging around the tavern lately.

When I first looked at the picture I thought you were wearing a kilt because of the fabric pattern. I dare you to do that stunt in public while wearing a kilt and tartan boxers.

As for a kilt and tartan boxers, I'm not sure how much the people on the ground would see, but I'm sure my safety belayer up top would find it halarious.

Wow, very cool! But do you do it "just like Houdini" as the caption says? I understand he used shoulder dislocation as one of his "tools" for straitjackets...
Uh, and you don't have to answer that, of course.

Anyways, the short answer is that although I perform the escape way differently than he did, because of the diffrent style jackets, I still dislocate at least one of my shoulders.
