For maximum Nullsleepishness, switch the sync mode to slave in the middle of a note.
Drooooone.
that's actually really cool. tried that with this one kind of drone-y song i've been working on, +5 epic points.
Chuck the tempo on like 90 for a pattern or so.
.... Well thats all i do
I'm always a bit too afraid to fuck up the song by switching to live mode and triggering the wrong chain/pattern/whatever...
but when writing a completely new track from scratch, it's fucking awesome

This is indeed dangerous. But more dangerous is accidentally switching your master to slave (or worse even, MIDI) in the middle of a song resulting in a delicious drooooooooooooooooooooone and loud "SHITCAKES!"
My favorite use of live mode has been to introduce songs live by slowly piecing them together. Kind of remixing my own songs/life on stage as a lead up to the original structure.

this, totally. every performance can be different!!! 
One song I'm working on now, the lead plays naked but I've set up a few tables to give it some altered sounds that aren't used in the song itself. I'll be switching up the tables and duty length when I play it live soon, so I'll see how well it works. Sounds nice when I'm messing around, so..
