Shut up, you!! NOTHING Is more annoying than a scraggly toenail… and if there’s no clipper in sight, then guess what. Besides, freshly-cut toenails smell sooo good… ---

Beefy you are one sick puppy. Once the neighbors kid was in our house playing with the dogs when I noticed him with his foot to his mouth chewing his toenails. I said “Gross Brandon! dont chew your toenails!” he said “Why? My daddy does.” Oh yeah! I am saving that one for the PERFECT moment… then I’m gonna HUMILIATE my friend! hehe… what are Neighbors for?? ---

I used to do this as a child. I wonder if I still can. (removes sock) YEAAOOW! I’m dismayed to report that I can barely get my big toe to my mouth anymore, let alone bite my toenails. ---

Whats so bad about it people chew their fingernails. So what if I chew my toenails as well. As a plus it keeps me rather limber. I can put my legs behind my head. ---

Holy flurking shnit, Insanity, didja know I used to use that handle back in the day of Compuserve chat (back before everybody was still charging 'Net access by the hour). Hell, I still use that name in Yahoo. Nothing to do with the thread, of course, but sometimes there’re just random coincidences that need to be vocalized… or typed. ---

I was one who could do this as a child, but no longer seem to have that much flexibility. One more reason for me to sign up for that yoga class… ---

OK I admit it, I used to do it, and I still do it, and you’re not gonna stop me, and neither are you! or you! or any of you!
