blockhead stuff

[Rachel Peters]

yo, my peeps.

Are there any women on the forum who practice this?
I have some questions, geared specifically to women's nasal passages.

I do it ... Alot!! Ask Away

[Rachel Peters]

great! I'll send you a pm.

I've learned that I have an unusually narrow nasal passage.
I have, for a while, been able to slowly ease things back into my nose (straight items -- about four inches), but was never able to do the "hammer" part, because I'd actually be knocking stuff around in there. It was just too tight.
Anything larger than the head of a q-tip left me feeling like I had just been kicked in the teeth. The regular four inch nail width just wouldn't go in.
It could be due to a tooth I have growing horizontally, up in my face, below my nose, only visible by x-ray. That's my theory, anyway. Could be the tooth. Either that or I'm just "dainty" or some junk.
I didn't like the idea of "easing" a nail into my nose, so I started trying to figure out other items that were both narrow and somewhat impressive looking.

Thank you, Mr. Thom Sellectomy, for your website photos.

I realized the answer was right in front of my face. My wire frame glasses are PERFECT.

For want of being able to actually perform real shows (refer back to my "Huge Verbal Vomit" post, otherwise known as my "emotional enema") I performed it for my coworkers during lunch. mmmm.

After asking my producer if she "wanted to see something I could do" and bringing my glasses to my nose... she responded with a resounding, "NOOOOOO! OH GAWD!! NO!! NO! NO!!! NO! NO! NO! NO!" and ran out of the room. Then, a few hours later, she gathered the rest of the department around to see it again.

(One painful lesson: When your glasses are through your nose and down your throat... don't swallow. And if you do... don't react by yanking it out.)

Apologies if my post is difficult to read. I'm overworked and underslept tonight.

(I am going to cheat this "can't perform until I start the doc thing" for one studio christmas party. I have to. ...I can't not do it. The fire's coming out for Christmas.)

When offered correctly as a "wana see me do something weird", the eye glasses will almost always get you a free pint in a pub or bar.
But its all about the set up.

(I personally think that glasses are the easiest thing to learn with. But remember it is sooooooooooo dangerous. So don't any of you meddling kids try it.)

Are you mocking me?

(Y'know, somehow I like the idea of being mocked by jesus--it seems only equitable)

John Shaw performed a fairly standard blockhead routine--by "standard" I mean he didn't use anything exotic for the bit--and somehow managed to bleed steadily for almost 10 minutes after.

So, it's at least a little dangerous.

Sorry Swami

Me mock? Never

I realize that it can be dangerous.

Worthy of Death talk? Maybe.
But do you have any common sense?
Yes, you say?
Then you'll be fine.

I'm sorry I didn't really mean to reopen this discussion.

I like to find out what sorts of other things people are shoving up their noses nowadays.
Me- Nail, Screwdriver, Drink Umbrellas and bracelet glowsticks (Love those...they go in nice and easy. Stick it in, then snap it so it lights up while in your nose. Convinces them that it is definately not gaffed.)
The thing I found I shouldn't stick up my nose-
Drink stirring straws, like in a bar. the sharp edge of the scraw scraped my nose something terrible.

My holy grail of blockhead- I need to find a good, thin fiber optic light so I can curve it around into my mouth (Like the mental floss with a balloon). Just haven't come across one that is quite right.
Anyone else with unusual blockhead items (Or who are doing the fiber optic up the nose)
