I Got This Giant Booger, See
and it's annoying the bedevil out of me.
Friday, April 1, 2016 by starkers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I woke up earlier and I couldn't breathe through my right nostril, so I goes into the bathroom and looks down me snoze into the mirror. Right, so upon inspection it looks like I got this giant booger up there.
Orright, that's not cool so I finds meself a hanky a blows for ages... nope, no amount of huffing and puffing was gonna blow that bugger down. I even tried the alternative method, whereby I closed the left nostril by pushing in the side with a finger and blew for all it was worth. Again, no amount of huffing and puffing was gonna blow that booger down.
I then figured I'd have to resort to a finger to dislodge the bugger, but no, my finger wasn't gonna fit, not even the smallest ones. Anyhow, I found this miniature shoehorn [apparently used for babies] and tried to scoop it out with that, but still no go... it was firmly wedged up there.
In the end I got so desperate I called in an after hours doctor, who called me a silly boy and that I should turn up at his clinic in the morning the have a polyps removed

I knew that if only one person replied that it'd be you, Uvah... it was right up your alley, hey.
You do of course know what day it is/was?

Awww shit. April fools. I shudda knowed.
Hehe, I couldn't resist putting one up for April Fools... and I did have a few to choose from. I thought about doing one on Bill Gates being furious with Satya Nadella and the goings on at Microsoft, that he was retaking the top job, rebranding Win 10 to Win 9 because 10 wasn't the direction he wanted for Windows, and that the next iteration would be Win 11 because 10 left such a bad taste in his mouth.
Might have gotten a few more replies that way, but oh well

Another I thought of was Microsoft offering Brad Wardell a position at Redmond, not just for his tech insight and abilities, but to shut him up about the things he doesn't like about Windows, Surface and other Microsoft products
I even thought of doing one about Jafo stealing a very rare car from a Melbourne motor show and that nobody had seen him since.

Yeah, damned page timeouts keep happening, and when I go back the post hadn't gone up. Sometimes it happens 3 or 4 times before the previous attempts show up, so I don't know until it's too late.
So frustrating

A giant booger is not so hard to believe, I get them all the time. I often have to flush the ol' boy out with sea water so I don't wake up in the middle of the night chewing on a snack. Once I get the tubing flowing again I sleep much better and I figure over the course of a year I prevented myself from gaining a couple lbs.

Better than having one up your nose after eating a supreme pizza. Blew my shnozz and out comes a a piece of sausage. Yuck!

You guys are just gross....
At least I didn't go into the eating side of it.... not like some.
Now I think of it, I should have gone with the Bill Gates one... or the Brad Wardell going to work at Microsoft one... or the Jafo stealing a rare and expensive car one.
Bit late now, but I'll have cooked up some beauties by next April 1st
I even thought on one about D Trump being assassinated, but that would have been big news before I heard of it here in Oz, so I refrained... hopefully next year.

Yeah, I found this kid once who was shooting at birds with a 22 rifle, so I took it off him and kicked his arse-n-all.
Oh, and on the subject of boogers, just imagine the great backlog I had of 'em cos of the polyps blocking the way.
Again, none of my fingers would reach - and gawd knows I tried, every single one of 'em - so I had to resort to utensils. Yup, I found this disused melon baller and used that to scoop 'em out.... and scoop 'em out I did. Took me half an hour, but at least now I can breathe, and with a bit of a wash the melon baller can be used for melon balling again.
Yeah, that one is for those suffering April Fools Day withdrawal.

Reminds me of an old rhyme I knew as a kid.....
Everybody's doin it, doin it, doin it,
Pickin their nose and chewin it, chewin it....

Yup, I remember that one.... among others:
Rule Britannia 3 monkeys up a stick
One fell down and paralysed his.....
Dick was a bulldog sitting on the grass
Along came a bumblebee and stung him on the...
Ask no questions tell no lies
Ever see a Chinaman doing up his.....
Flies are a nuisance wasps are worse....
This is the end of my silly little verse.
I knew dozens of 'em as a kid.
Another I copped a whack for was when I changed the words to a song:
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer too
Would you let me if I gave you a buck or Two
(don't remember the middle bits now, but it ended something like this...)
So ring the bell a peddle like hell on a bicycle made for two.
The whack? Dad took offence cos his mother was named Daisy [not that I knew at the time] and he thought I was being disrespectful.
Ah, the things you remember when reading these 'ere forums
