[QUOTE=phall0106] Okay, who will be the first to _try_ the duct tape? Any takers? [/QUOTE] [Done](http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b164/BrattiAtti/sdmb/?action=view¤t=ducttape.jpg). It didn’t do anything… one lone tree in the middle of nearly empty prairie. (No pics of end result - sorry. 😛 ) ---

[QUOTE=Hokkaido Brit] Right, castigate me or congratulate me, but don’t you think these pics are fascinating??! [/QUOTE] Awesome! That’s way better luck than I used to have with pore strips. I’ve been inspired to try them again though. ---

Okay okay okay… sorry to bump thread. But I just used a pore strip, and actually _washed_ my face beforehand–not just wetted. And yes, there is something on it. The parts that covered the sides of my nose. They’re tiny… but they’re there. Dood. ---

I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I recently read that plain 'ol Elmer’s glue works as well as the Biore strips. ---

[QUOTE=Sattua] I just tried the egg membrane. It didn’t pull anything out of my face–it wasn’t even difficult to pull off. [/QUOTE] And now **Lynn** is secretly giggling that she actually got someone to put a useless egg membrane on their face! ---

[QUOTE=raz] And now **Lynn** is secretly giggling that she actually got someone to put a useless egg membrane on their face! [/QUOTE] That’s kinda like those “no one can lick their own elbow” threads that pop up every now and then – you just know that somewhere, someone is trying desparately to touch their tongue to their elbow. ---

[QUOTE=raz] And now **Lynn** is secretly giggling that she actually got someone to put a useless egg membrane on their face! [/QUOTE] The egg membrane works on ME. Of course, I always put it on while I’m cooking the eggs, and so maybe the membrane wasn’t fresh enough when others use it. ---

Egg? Glue? Nay! In sooth, first must ye take of the dungge of ye Hoarse, fresh y-strewn, a goodly amount. Mix it welle with 3 gills of ye finest Hunney and 7 gills of ye Wine from Taranta, and place all in a small iron Potte. Stir ye Mixture welle and add 2 hand-fulles of ye purest Brim-stonne. Catch ye next a large Cat-Fisshe–for he hath skin so smooth as that ye seeketh–skinn ye Fishhe, and mix well into ye Potte. Build ye a great Fyre, and seethe all starkly. When alle is welle seethed, remove ye Potte and coole. Apply ye mixturre well about ye Face and pray thrie times to ye good Saint Sebastian–for greatly as thou mayest wish to pull ye great Spikes fromme thine skin, so much more did he suffer. Thenne wash ye well with ye freshest Urine. By ye grace of Godde, this cannot fail but purify ye Skinne. Okay, maybe I’ve been awake a little too long. ---

[QUOTE=Lynn Bodoni] The egg membrane works on ME. Of course, I always put it on while I’m cooking the eggs, and so maybe the membrane wasn’t fresh enough when others use it. [/QUOTE] Thanks for the hilarious mental image of you slaving over a hot stove, cooking scrambles eggs, with a dried-up membrane on your face! Seriously, that made me giggle. ---

Even funnier is you doing it and someone walking in on it. Of course, you’d have to pass it off as “normal”. ---

So today I bought some Ponds face strips. Lemme tell you, those suck compared to the Biore ones. They don’t work quite as well (although one did pull out something that looked like a soon-to-be pimple :eek: ) and they leave a weird, icky residue on your face that the Biore ones don’t. So, my not so professional opinion - Biore strips are worth the extra buck. ☹ ~Tasha ---

[QUOTE=Sattua] Been reading Chaucer Hath Blogge? [/QUOTE] Nah. I’m still waiting for someone to invent an Ogham keyboard, though. (And just to offer something on-topic, I adore the Biore nose strips. Even though I’m a guy. I guess that makes me metrosexual or something…) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-love-nose-strips-tmi/396217.md?page=3)
