i have a zit on the inside arch of my foot. OW. the best explanation i can come up with is that the foot cream i've been using is too rich. but it's a nasty bugger!

oh, and while at work, i discovered what an unripe passion fruit looks like inside. this pic is of a ripe one, but the unripe ones have little tentacle-like formations on the inside. neat and icky!

[herculesgirl]

Indeed. That is the grossest thing I've read in awhile! And I totally understand playing with the pieces because of the whole texture thing, too. *nods*

[auralpoison]

Oh, that's disgusting. AWESOME!

[mornington]

can I delurk?... I've been squirming while reading this thread for ages... and now I think I have something to post (a-woo-hoo)

ok... dissection... this involves cutting up dead animals... and today we go a fresh specimen. We got... the heart, lungs, trachea and, get this, tongue of a horse. The heart was as big as a soccer ball, and the tongue was huge. Oh, and it was slightly frozen - all the remaining blood was a mix of blood cells & ice, and it was black. Fantastic... we were cutting into the lungs to look at the structure, and the best bit... the little bronchioles that still have cartilage rings... little slimy bumpy bits that aren't quite bone, or flesh, and yet I couldn't stop playing with them because of the texture and you can feel the slimy mucosa even through latex gloves and... ewww.

I love dissection... and I had to tell someone about it. I'll get back to lurking

[msgoofball]

oh i took some photos of mr.gb's latest injuries from paint balling...i plan on doing a day by day update. the bruises should be nasty. i hope to get them posted by friday....when they turn purple-green.

[msgoofball]

hahaha...that reminds me of an article i read...'drinks to give to your enemies'...they had similar ones in there like the 'yeast infection'...one was called the cement mixer...cuz apparently it turned to thick lumpy blobs in your mouth...taaaa-sty. bleh.

[treehugger]

Actually, way back, probably twenty years ago already, I made something akin to your "yeast infection", puppy. Totally unintentional. Bailey's and acidy things don't get along. Eeeeewww...

[voodoo_princess]

(delurking)
"yeast infection" hee hee.... curdled milk chunks with a touch of orange juice color tinge and the smell!!!!!!! eeeewwww, i can just imagine!!!! and for some reason, imagining it made me smile and giggle..... eeeeewwwww
(gone again)

Nothing like popping a high-pressure pus filled zit to brighten up one's day, huh, plummy?

I wish someone would get something lanced. Anyone? I'm dying for some pus shooters.

The other day, my friend - who is a former bartender - and I were talking about drinks. She asked, "Have you ever had a Red-Headed Slut? Or an Irish Car Bomb?" I asked her, "Have you ever had a Yeast Infection? It's Vodka, Bailey's, milk, and oj." She was like, "No - I've never heard of that one."

I just thought, you know, that the dairy would curdle and...ewww. But she didn't get it. Somebody laugh at my joke!!!

[txplumwine]

It's not horrific, but it's distinctly... well... medicine-y. No better way to describe it, really... it still seems inadequate.

I don't think I'd be so weirded out if I had ever noticed any difference in my smell that wasn't hormonal. None of my partners (an admittedly paltry number) has ever mentioned anything that might have come from food or meds, either. In this case, I haven't been up for action, and GameBoy says he hasn't noticed it otherwise, so I guess I'm safe for the general public (if not my general pubic).

It's been 24 hours since I last took it, however, and the effect is drastically reduced. Bearing that in mind - i.e., looks like it would be gone about 36 hours out - I have decided to keep the extremely-clean but still-weird-smelling cooch until the thick, nasty green and yellow shit in my sinuses goes away.

I wish I had a good zit story to tell. I could really use one.

After working all day in the bread bakery, I would sit down to go to the bathroom and my vag would smell like bread dough or beer.

[hellotampon]

What does Mucinex smell like? Is it gross? I've noticed that after I eat curry, my vag smells like it, and I sweat curry from my armpits, instead of BO.

[txplumwine]

I had, in fact, heard of yaws before - because in true lifelong Grossie fashion, I started looking up photos of skin disorders in my mother's books (she once studied for nursing and always has references) when I was in high school. Yaws was a cross-reference from an ulcerated abscess entry. (Though I had never seen the face disfigurement before. How awful.)

I came in here because I didn't know where else to put this - it's sort of a mild alert in the interest of Chick Camaraderie, but I didn't want to skeeve a general audience. I've had a gross head cold for a few days. GameBoy had one last week and tried out Mucinex to see if it would help break up the gunk in his chest...with considerable success. So I decided to try it on mine.

Well, the good news is, it's rendered me far more able to breathe and sleep for the last couple of days. The bad news?

It's making my cooch smell funny.

Like, open the bottle of med and sniff it - that's the fragrance that's coming out of my bits with normal discharge. It's not overwhelming - I can only smell it when I'm in the bathroom - but it's definitely unnerving. (And yes, I'm clean.)

So. Not that I feel like getting any action right now anyway, but I really thought I should share this info for the good of the BUSTie public, lest someone have a horrifying experience when a paramour goes downtown for a visit after 24 hours' worth of Mucinex.

*skulks out*

I like going to it's related site, Morbid Fact Du Jour, but it's often not updated every day.

I check this website from time to time. It's pretty effing gross. Who has ever heard of Yaws? That's frelling scary. And you absolutely must check out the hemmoroids.

Hit Snopes.com, girlfriend. Documented.

[taracat]

WHAT??? Yeeeee, are you telling me that other people have been "oh so lovingly" stuffed in there?? Well, this happened in Baltimore City, at the Comfort Inn in Mt.Vernon to be exact. Now, I must google my own trauma and find out if it is on the web. We always had various incidents, as we had a local club that used us for all their bands. I always loved getting in there in the morning, stepping over underpants, condoms, crack vials, in the corridors. DELICIOUS!
People always liked to shove shit, like food or anything stinky behind the pictures on the walls. I suppose since they couldn't get them off, best thing to do, is hope for the next sucker to have to smell the stank you left behind.

[auralpoison]

Wow. Apparently it's not too uncommon. It piqued my curiosity & sure as shit there are several documented cases of dead folks stuffed in beds. Apparently the urban legend parts are that it almost always has Vegas as a locale & features a dead hooker. It seems that in reality it's mostly criminal types snuffing each other. Veddy inta-resting.

[pollystyrene]

That's like the movie Four Rooms, with Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, and others. If you haven't seen it, it's a movie in 4 parts- it all takes place in a big hotel on New Years Eve and Tim Roth is the bellboy. He has four "adventures" with some hotel guests and each segment is directed by a different director. In Robert Rodriguez's segment, which stars Antonio Banderas, Antonio and his wife go to a party somewhere and leave Tim Roth in charge of watching their snotty little kids for the night. The kids are really misbehaving (in fact, his segment is called "The Misbehavers") and getting into stuff and they find a dead hooker in the box spring of their bed. Hilarity ensues (believe it ot not!) That's a great movie! But I certainly wouldn't want to have it happen in real life! I'm going to start checking the box springs now!

[auralpoison]

And here I always thought that was an urban legend or a friend of a friend story...
