YOU can't be serious asking that question!

But just because you did, yes. Put it on a tubular rim, put it on a clincher (700C) rim, stand on the bottom and pull up, wrap it in your arms and use your arms, hook it on the wall and hang a 100# weight ...

But not all tubulars need to be stretched, and I think anything other than the tubular rim method can run the risk of damage due to excess tension.
