Eh. Reminds me of a story. My dad was delivering something to a friend and little three year old me started playing with the handbrake. I managed to get it off enough that it rolled down the hill into a tree. Beyond the tree was a sheer 100 foot drop onto a beach.

Note to self, when Daughter P is old enough to ride in front seat, keep car in gear when unattended, lest she fall off cliff.

At least then in takes two steps to get it to roll away.

PS, wow.

My little sister and I used to stick Skittles up our noses. When we discovered that the Skittles color would transfer to the nostril you put it in, we started using different colors for each nostril.

Never got them stuck, though.

My 17-year old girlfriend and one of our other friends had a great time sticking blue M&M’s up their noses because it makes your nostril blue. No idea.

Yes, it’s a reference to a bit off of _Los Cochinos_, which was released in 1973. Sorry I couldn’t find a working audio file.

Wow. Didn’t realize it was so old. Of course I was just a kid when I found it in my Dad’s collection, so he either managed to keep it stashed for a long time or purchased it years after it was released.

Oh, and having read the thread posted by **Tastes of Chocolate** , I am happy to report that my wedding ring (size 4) comes nowhere close to fitting in my nose. 😛
