You know we're in a state of late summer doldrums when Yahoo's Most Popular image is... mm hmm...

Mehmet Yilmaz snorts milk up his nose and squirts it out of his eye in a bid to set a new world record in Istanbul, Turkey, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2004. Yilmaz squirted the milk 2 meters 79.5 centimeters, surpassing the exisitng world record of 2 meters 61 centimeters. Organizers said the record must still be verified.

Gut reaction: that's disgusting.

After thoughtful reflection: that's very disgusting.

I recently (within the last 2 years or so) developed a channel between my nose and my right eye. I've never attempted (and don't plan to attempt) the milk trick, but it is very unpleasant when I have a cold and try to blow my nose...

There's....an offical world record....for....EYE SQUIRTING?! Sounds like a touch of the TMST (too much spare time) syndrome to me. Hmph...and the best trick I can do with my eyes is roll them one at a time, independent of each other.

I remember seeing Penn and Teller on Letterman back in the 80s do a trick where they took a dried bean, Letterman drew a picture on it to mark it, and Teller put the bean in his mouth, made lots of snorting noises, and the bean came out his lower eyelid. Just like the milk picture above.

Sometimes I'll stifle a burp when drinking soda, and get a tingly feeling in my eyes from the soda getting in there.

Oh, and that picture is gross.

Wow that's 6.820866141705 feet!

I wonder if it makes a difference if you use skim vs. whole milk?

how the hell do you get a hole from your nose to your eye?
russotto • Sep 1, 2004 1:45 pm
The passages betwee your nose and your eyes is naturally present. They normally allow your tears to flow from your eyes into your nose instead of running down your face. Having accidentally blown air backwards through it, I have to say that hurts.
Happy Monkey • Sep 1, 2004 3:03 pm
I'll rephrase, then. ;)
My naturally present passage between my nose and my right eye has, within the last two years, become more succeptible to allowing reverse flow. I now have to put a finger on the inner corner of my eye when I blow my nose.

Ok, I wasn't grossed out by anything in this thread yet but THAT did it. :sick:

My work here is done.

well, you learn somethin' new every day... i probably shouldn't blow my nose so hard, or i'll end up like HM (my husband calls me "the train")

I can't help but wonder how many people participate in this....uh........spor....er.....activity? :confused:

They had a milk squirting content on that Guiness show that aired a few years ago. Why milk, I wonder? I guess it's because it burns the least (ever got grape juice up your nose before? the pain!)

Anyways, on the topic of channels developing, I found one directly from my nose to mouth in 1st grade. I can force boogers through it... :dead:

If you can blow milk this high, the Fire Department wants you!

I noticed the channel one day when puffing out my cheeks so as to look like a monkey (study hall, I believe 9th grade), and I have successfully forced water through the opening, though never any distance greater than my own t-shirt...looks like I just found a new hobby.

We, and when I say "we" I mean "I", appreciate your candor. Now please excuse me :vomit:

Be a great parody to the government sponsored "Got Milk?" ads that you see everywhere. Perhaps some group could form a 527 and run the ads!

This is one of my bro-in-laws party tricks. He has a lot of them. Big old school Phish Head. Coincidence?

Time to find a suitably benign substance and get into training, man.

Saline solution. Get a cup of lukewarm water, and add some salt.
Trilby • Sep 2, 2004 9:24 pm
Nothing beats good hand/nose/mouth hygiene. nothing!

Now, quit pickin' your boogers and free those moments up for more important things--like scratching your butt!

Milk's for wussies.
Guess • Sep 3, 2004 12:28 am
holy crap!!! happy monkey that picture is so fricken scary! :eek:
Cyber Wolf • Sep 3, 2004 8:33 am
There's...something not right about that snake. In his mouth it looks awful flat and I've never seen a snake with jaw THAT angular. You could cut something with that snake's lower 'lip'.
Elspode • Sep 5, 2004 7:28 pm
I've just come up with a new freak show act...shooting fire from your eyes!

A little grain alcohol...hold your nose, shut your mouth, flick your bic and voila'!

Can you patent incredibly stupid human tricks?

Don't try this at home.

Thank you.

Or if you must, please have excellent insurance benefits and a fire extinguisher handy.
jojomonkeygirl • Sep 5, 2004 11:52 pm
my brother can do that

yes, if possible have those but you must absolutely make sure you have a video camera running and a portion of your will dedicated to making sure said video makes it's way to the cellar.
