Mneh, my ring won’t fit (small hands, but small nostrils).

However, Sniffs\_Markers can kind of turn her belly-buttom inside out. Is that cool or what?

Belly-_button_! _Button_

(Lest that somehow be interpreted, weirdly, as “bottom.”)

I discovered while bored in French class years ago that I can fit 4 quarters in each nostril. Oddly enough, this has failed to get me ladies.

Okay, **Kalhoun** that does it. I got through 2 and a half pages with dignity and decorum. Now I’m doubled over weeping with honest to God tears.

Would you mind inventing something to explain them to my kid? No _way_ am I letting her read this. God knows where it would lead.

Blast you!

Don’t have wedding rings, but tried it with my regular rings and they fit very well. Although, considering that I have an amber pendant that I’d shove up my nose every time I wore it, this doesn’t surprise me. I also took pictures, but I think I’m going to go delete them now.

It would be a different story if you had been pushing the quarters up into your nose using your _tongue._

I mentioned this thread to Hubby, who thought for a second, grabbed my hand, took off MY wedding ring, and promptly stuck it up his nose. :eek: At least he cleaned it before handing it back to me.

A few minutes later, I have to try it and the ring just will not fit in. Told Hubby, who said “We’ll see about that.” And proceeded to try to shove it up MY nose as I’m giggling hysterically. Nope, no fit (freakishly tiny nostrils).

As to the belly button… Me: tickles Hubby: Nauseous, with a small pain in the nuts.

Go figure.

No, my ring didn’t fit up my nose ☹ But if you people need a new challenge…I can put my entire fist in my mouth (ok small nose, very big mouth). Try it I dare you. Ball that fist up and try and get it in your mouth. I know you can’t, it’s ok I don’t mind being a big gobbed freak, much like you people don’t mind being big snozzed freaks :).  
Go on try it…it kinda hurts but don’t you want to be one of the few that can stick a fist in their gob?

I tried, **calm kiwi** , but it feels like I’m gonna dislocate my jaw and I’m just not ready for that kind of pain at the moment. 😃

Does putting your foot in your mouth count? I do that regularly.

I used to suck my big toe when I was little. Chewed on my toenails too.

Heh. I did that too. Now I’m pretty sure I need to be talking (or typing) in order to get my foot in there.

I can touch my nose with my tongue. Does that count for anything?

Of course after I posted that I had to check. I can still put my big toe on either foot in my mouth. It was slightly painful, but I can still do it.

So the only wedding ring I’ve got around belonged to my dad and just looking at it, that ain’t fittin’ in my nostril. I’m not sure even I can rationalize buying a ring so that I can participate in the Great Nostril Stuffing Experience.

As for goofy things to do, I have been known to make fangs for myself out of modeling clay. Worthless for chomping on people but they look fiercesome. Anybody ever black out their teeth with peanut butter cup paper?

Alas, I cannot fit the entire mood ring in my nostril. Now I’ll never know if my nose is happy or sad.
