Is there anyone out there who has NOT stuck a paper clip in your ear to see what you could find?

I did.

I found an autographed picture of my 5th grade teacher and the key to a "56 Chevey I used to have.

While I recognize that Ask A Drunk is not dead - no, not by a long chalk - isn't it about time for us to bury it alive?

silly to stop with a paper clip. i found that by working in small increments, i was able to advance from a paper clip to a wire pipe cleaner to a coat hanger to a welding rod and then, finally, to six feet of corrugated steel re-bar. it's a thrilling sensation to feel a full fathom of frigid metal whish past your molars and scrape the underside of your brain pan. what a rush!!

i have a good chum who's taken the same tack with explosives. first he'd bang caps off in his ear with a flint splint and spark hammer. from there he moved steadily through pixi-pops, block-busters, and M80s. He's now at the point where he can take full sticks of TNT in both ears at the same time (synched detonation with a bite action IR master/slave unit).

and then there were those girls in ho chi minh city. they had ears of steel by god. 9000 GIs a day. really makes you stop and think.

hurley!

MASTER!

*Kneels, places forehead on ground.*

I foolishly thought I had an imagination but I see now that I am an insignificant piece of shit. Somewhat like a rat's fart in the infinity of outer space.

From now on, hur, I'll set 'em up...you knock 'em down.

with all due respect, i was really responding to aimless.

hurley (hurley), Saturday, 10 January 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, OK. *sigh*

Humiliation, obviously, is nothing new to me.

I can tolerate pain too. I've been married three times.

Is lusenet dead?

luse, Sunday, 11 January 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Lusenet is alive and well. It has moved to Indonesia and adopted the Muslim religion and has three wives and four concubines. I want to go there as well but my doctor advises against it.

I always liked putting pegs on my fingers until they turned blue.
Or hair bobbles.
Or sewing through layers of skin.

celeste (Celeste), Thursday, 15 January 2004 00:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I sew my fingers and toes together before swimming. Seems to give me increased speed.

one month passes...
To answer your question: yes, I have NOT stuck a paper clip in to see what I can find. However, I _have_ straightened out a paper clip and poked it into my ear, hoping to unlock my mind--in much the same way one unlocks from the outside a bathroom door which has been locked from the inside.

I can report that this procedure was partially successful, but not in the way I expected; rather than unlock my mind in some sort of psychedelic sense, it's actually done nothing but reduce my hearing. Now, that might sound bad, but the reduction in audio distractions has allowed me to think so clearly as to not perform the procedure on the second ear. Therefore, it was a net gain.

All back to Kansas Sam's, he's got a net.

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 11 March 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, my. I hope he's not drowning dolphins...

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Friday, 12 March 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I was about to get excited about fishnets, but of course dolphins are mammals.
Mammal nets doesn't sound nearly so much fun... but I am sure that someone here will have a different view

Weebleman (StillSimon), Saturday, 13 March 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it is perfectly alright to be excited about fishnets. Just today, I found some pictures of a young lady in "fishnet" apperal, nothing else, and a thought occured to me: "Fuck those dolphins."

Damn freeloaders.

..since we're all Fishermen, er *cough* 'Fisherpersons' here, I've got the perfect 'bait':


My ex-husband used to scratch deep into his ears with his car keys. Until that fateful day when, despite years of warnings, he harvested the worst ear infection doctors here had ever seen. Finally, after months of testing, one of our hospital labs nailed a diagnosis: The cause? A mould, so rare as to only be found in a remote town in Africa, called 'Aspergillus Niger'. Many more months of medication + tests were launched against the 'A.N.' Finally it began to turn around. Taken together, did these events deter the A.N. Man? Nada. Nope. Zilch. No cigar. To this day he refuses to exercise even the most vapor-like hint of discipline against this most disgusting of habits (visualization: 400+ lbs of quivering flesh cranking his left arm in a clockwise rotation til the tip of his elbow caresses that side's earlobe). In an attempt to rid my fertile mind of such buff memories, I'd be willing to consider cashing in a pile of his I.O.Me's for first dibs on his next crop of black gold. If you're looking for a good trophy-catcher's bait, lemme know...

"KKKkeighty, beautiful Keighty, you're the only gggirl that I adore..."

Oh, my...showing my age...

I once stuck my car key into my front door and it started up and before I could catch it, my house was two blocks away.

My advice, K8, is to let the ugly slob indulge in his filthy habit and perhaps he will someday engage his ignition switch and find himself in Timbuktu and you will be free of him.

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

which would be all well and good, were it not for the fact that Timbuktu is in Mali, not Niger. If he perhaps found himself in Niamey, the entire story may have a happier ending for all concerned.

three weeks pass...
Anybody put a rubber band on their willy and gone out in shorts?

Dorien Thomas (Dorien Thomas), Saturday, 10 April 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

No.

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Saturday, 10 April 2004 18:30 (twenty-one years ago)

*Sniff* We never go out in shorts, dear boy. Simply isn't done.

Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 12 April 2004 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Tom Jones did.

Dorien Thomas (Dorien Thomas), Monday, 12 April 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, but he wasn't "us"

Matt (Matt), Monday, 12 April 2004 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

And when WE feel like wrapping something around our manhood and going for a stroll, it's invariably one of those cashmere cockmuffs that I have made down at Gieves & Hawkes, or a pheasant, depending on the weather.

Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 12 April 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Either one's chic in 'Frisco, eh?

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Monday, 12 April 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The above is tame in this town, Mr. Clown.
