I've just produced an incredibly long booger! Should I call Guinness?

[SDMB seems to be acting up - it posted my msg blank. Trying again…]

I’ve had this miserable head cold for nearly a week. I took some medicine which seems to have a side effect of thickening my snot.

This morning I awoke and blew my nose into a tissue and this green worm-like booger remained dangling an inch or so out of my nose. Upon pulling it it simultaniously stretched and released itself from my sinus cavities. I had to use two hands.

The feeling while pulling that thing out of my nose was near orgasmic. Finally, I had this thing in my hands which must have been darn close to 3 feet long. I’m dead serious!! I’ve never even come close to producing something this long from my own body.

My first thought was “ehww!” but my second thought was I may have set a world record. Or have I? Are there any facts and figures out there?

They’d probably be more interested in the grey matter at your booger’s end.

That snot funny…

What kind of medicine was it? I’d like to be able to perform that trick on our next Poker Night.

I doubt that has any truth in it but hey, it’s the first thing google gave me.

Most anti-histamenes have the pleasant side-effect of drying out your snot.

Hey OddTunes, did you get that groovy feeling where you feel the booger being yanked out way the hell up in your sinuses? I love that.

Dear god I love that feeling. It’s like it’s being pulled from the center of your head. I suppose it is. Things are nice and clear for a good ten minutes after that.

I am laughing, shivering with revulsion, and forwarding this thread to my sister all at the same time.

My kingdom for a 12 foot turd!

I think you should call MPSIMS.

Mindless Pointless Snot I Must Share?

Speaking of mindless snot…
When molten rock is still in the Earth, it’s called magma but once it’s extruded it’s called lava.

Is snot only snot before it’s extruded and if so, what do you call it afterwards?

In Alabama, they call it a snack.
