I have never found throwing up to be easy…but one thing that is incredibly hard to throw up is Doritos…and hey, if you get the right flavor…you can see an unusual shade of red… :eek: -Christina ---

This doesn’t deal with easy/hard stuff to puke, but has anyone ever observed projectile vomit? I thought it was a UL until I witnessed it in the Recovery Room I work it. I was holding the basin for a woman and suddenly she let it fly, narrowly missing me. Approximate range: 3 meters. It was really weird, like a squirt from a water-gun, except thicker. The woman was still semi-unconcious so I don’t think she noticed that a group of us couldn’t help but laugh. I don’t know what we found funny about it. It was just completely unexpected. ---

I always thought that puking up salad was especially gross. It kind of just floats there staring you in the face. One of the nastiest pukes I’ve ever seen was a combination of pizza bagels and New England clam chowder. Imagine the smell. ---

I agree with the corn statement. Somehow, that stuff goes in, comes back up, and leaves you looking the same way. Nasty as hell. What I hate is having to do it but not having anything left… You start chuckin’ your own acidic fluids. It burns and tastes awful. So you drink water just so you can throw it up and feel soooo much better. Sometimes when you are really sick you actually want to do it just because you know the pure paradise you feel for about five minutes afterward. Infamus ---

One of the worst pukes I had was following a night of drinking topped off with a couple hot dogs smothered in kraut. The hot dogs themselves weren’t so bad, but that stringy kraut was absolutely horrible. I also go along with the idea of drinking water between heaving bouts as a way of partially rehydrating and buffering the occurence of dry heaves. * * * “It’s only common sense, There are no accidents 'round here.” ---

When I was about 12, Dad took me on a deep sea fishing trip. When I inevitably began feeling the effects of the rolling deck, he said bananas were the best thing to eat for seasickness. When I asked why bananas and not some other food, he said, “Because they taste good going down, and they taste good coming up”. * * * TT “It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” –James Thurber ---

Easy- juice. water. gatorade. blood. Hard- Calimari. Never ever puke this stuff up. If you eat it, commit suicide before puking it up. Pasteurized Process cheese dip/spread/slices. If you ever eat too much Velveeta, as in on chips or crackers or something, don’t puke it up… It’s like bringing a long strand of snot from your stomach and out your mouth, and you feel like you chugged a spitton full of tobacco spit.

Easy - Ramen noodles, it all feels very lubricated and stuff. I swear there’s something in them that coats your esophagus and makes it all easy. Hard - Nothing, i.e. dry heaves, which usually don’t come until after you’ve sobered up some, but at that point you’d kill to have anything, even calamari, sitting in your stomache just so you can get rid of it. ---

I am pretty sure it is from a movie, but I can’t remember. Anyone know? ## It’s a saying that me and a couple of girl friends really wanted to (and sometimes did) say to a few cowboy bar flies back in our first-year-after-a-divorce-wild-ass-days. You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit. ---
