DB Tricks

I am playing Joe B. Mauldin in an upcoming dinner theater production of The Buddy Holly Story. They've got me doing all kinds of silly bass tricks: standing on my bass while playing, playing it like a guitar, spinning it, laying on my back and playing it up in the air, and (my favorite) holding the bass at a 45-degree angle while Buddy runs up it and plays a solo. I know these aren't authentic 50's moves, but what can I say, it's theater. I've attached a pic of me playing "Peggy Sue" at rehearsals.

Does anyone else know any other DB tricks I can use? No fire please.

I saw a video a while ago of two guys playing with two basses live, and they were reaching around, slapping the other one's bass while they fingered their own......that sounds really dirty, but that's the best way I can describe it. It was pretty awesome. Anyody know that video and care to link to it?
