At my school, when you'd done something cool or impressive
after telling your peers what you'd achieved you'd cough slightly and straighten your tie.

Invariably this would start a round of oneupmanship, which meant the action developed quickly into jumping in the air screaming "HEYAAAAAH!" at the top, landing bent-legged, stamping around the room and adjusting an absolutely enormous, imaginary tie knot, which came down to one's knees and required both hands to "adjust". The result was incredibly ape-like in appearance, and became an entertainment in it's own right, often overshadowing the boast of the original story.

When I met Joe Scaramanga, I quickly forgot that we weren't actually at school together, and thus when I scored one evening with a girl, he was somewhat bemused the following morning as I told him, while performing this action all around the kitchen.

What ridiculous behaviour or rituals did you perform at school for want of more satisfactory mental stimulation?

EDIT: And no I don't fucking mean "Tell us about what an OCD tossbag you are."

As a group
at my school at our inter-school comps. (athletics, swimming etc.) we had the "Face In a Bowl" chant.
It went a little like this - "CCGS, flubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflubaflub" which was made by reciting the letters and then shaking your head with your lips flapping loosely whilst blowing a raspberry gently thru your lips. CCGS was the acronym for my school.
It sounds great with 1000 odd young gentlemen doing it in the grandstand after their person/team has won a race/game.
Apologies for the bad onomatopoeia.
EDIT: Before you ask I have absolutely no fucking idea where it came from.
