BOOGERS - Where do you put them?

missed an opportunity to out the booger eaters

Damn. That will be in booger poll 2.0

Booger Poll 2.0: Electric Boogerloo

The answer may surprise you!

Yeah, come on, if one of the options isn't "in the mouth" then your poll is all wrong.

That goes for every poll about every subject, btw.

When I was in college I had this high-concept art piece planned where I was going to spread the word that every time anyone was near the student center and had a booger, they should wipe it on the student center. I wanted to gradually cover the entire student center with boogers, Cristo and Jean-Claude style. It was this ugly, low-slung, 1970s budget-brick building, and I thought it was worthy of that.

Missing from poll: On t-shirt/bedsheet

underside of car seat

Haha where would you put it on your shirt if it's not a pocket shirt? Just walking around with boogers all over your shirt??

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

in your butt

i've read that 90% of ppl pick their nose and 10% of ppl eat their boogers which means that eating your boogers is about as deviant as not picking your nose at all

i love eating my boogers

I think the last time I ate a booger was over 30 years ago when my mom saw me doing it and told me to stop. Good work, mom!

that's what i said.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Missing a "nightstand" option. It's gross dude. But better than the floor right?

Surprising results..

Don't walk barefoot

He was a nerd in my first grade class. He had a grandpa's first name and a girl's last name. He wore big glasses, dingy rugby shirts, and had sandy blonde hair. Sometimes he was too smart for the class, and sometimes he said very stupid things. He got clowned for both.

One day, the call went up. "Ewwwwwww! Grandpa First Name picked his nose and ate it!" The outrage and disgust! The disapprobation! Even the teacher had a word of reproach.

A few days later, the golden sun of an autumn afternoon streaming into my playroom and my parents nowhere in sight, I found myself deep in thought, trying to work it out. Grandpa First Name ate his boogers, but he was not sick or dead. Where, therefore, was the harm?

Those days are long behind me. But "eating" was my prefered booger-disposal option for many years. I kept it hidden...so hidden. I don't think anyone ever caught me. But perhaps the very act of it still made me a nerd, despite my subterfuge.

I still pick, don't get me wrong. A tissue is, of course, the most genteel option for disposal after that. But if that's not available, what then? Flicking it into a corner of the room? Not the middle of the room where someone will walk on it. Sure, this is disgusting, but it will dry up quickly and I'll probably catch it next time I vacuum. If I'm alone, sitting on the sofa or something, I might wipe it on my leg or behind my ear, for proper disposal later when I have sufficient impetus to arise.

I google Grandpa First Name Girl Last Name every once in a while - scouring Facebook accounts and LinkedIn profiles - but have never found him. We weren't friends, but his impact on my life was significant. Perhaps he gave himself a better name. I hope he's out there, doing well. I wonder if he also kicked the habit, or if he stayed true to his peculiar path?

i love eating my boogers

still a booger eater. i don't do it in public or anything. maybe if no one's watching. *shrug*

I’ve been dealing with viral sinusitis for a while now and this morning in the shower I went for a big blow and stg a slimy meteorite the width of my thumbnail and thickness of my pinky came out. It was an incredible relief but dear god, why bodies gotta be like this

wife had sinus surgery a few months ago and was blowing out ghastly marble sized boogers in the aftermath, it was pretty cool

I mean she thought it was cool too

I now have “cool boogers” stuck in my head to the tune of Foreigner’s Hot Blooded.

I think it's fascinating that our noses make these things. You stick your finger up there, and voila - a new creation!
