Human clock
Before they went on a "hiatus" that is currently at 5 years and counting, I used to really like to go see a band from Toronto called Moxy Fruvous. I believe I've been to 14 of their shows.
As the inter-song banter frequently revolves around hockey, I would always wear a particular hockey jersey to their concerts.
Anyhoo, on 12/31/1999, I attended their concert in Buffalo, NY. At about 10:15pm, they had a contest onstage in which three audience members took turns being a "human clock". The one to do it in the most interesting way would be selected to repeat the act several times up until midnight. I was chosen as one of the three, likely because I was tall and perhaps the band recognized me (I had gotten a couple autographs from them at previous shows, and had been mentioned on-mic by one of them for my attire during the show in Chicago a few months prior).
So what did I do to illustrate the current time with my body? I sat on the stage, feet pointed out to the audience's right, and torso and arms pointing up and to the audience's left. Would have worked great if the stage were a normal height, however as I quickly realized, this stage was only about 2 feet (70cm) off the ground. So, the front row of the (standing) crowd was looking down at me like I'm an idiot, and none of the rest of the crowd could see me at all. I felt so stupid that after I lost that little competition I went in the bathroom, took off the hockey jersey, and never wore it to a Moxy Fruvous concert again.
