Here’s a simple little game that’s sweeping the ocean. One poster makes up a disease, the next poster makes up the symptoms and/or cause of the disease and makes up a new one for the next poster. It’s fun and it’s slightly morbid!
And one to start with…
Bowler’s Nose
Bowler’s Nose
It starts simply enough, a small red spot on the tip of the nose, which progresses to a crater and finally a third nostril. The head swells becoming so heavy, the patient can no longer lift it, the nose flattens, ultimately the head resembles a regulation bowling ball.
In the end the head becomes so unwieldy, the patient requires constant observation. Some patients become so emmbarrassed, they resort to carrying their head in a bowling bag.
The cause is unknown, but researchers suspect it is mildly contagious. It may be a mutation of Athlete’s Foot, which we know is endemic in bowling shoes.
My disease: Retro-bulbar micturalgia.
Although the cause is unknown, some medical professionals suspect this afflication may be caused by sticking one’s head too close to the ball return, thus receiving a blast of stale air against one’s face from the ball return shaft while waiting for one’s bowling ball to appear after a play.
Queen Bee, would that be the cause of Bowlers nose? or Retro-bulbar micteralgia? (which in medspeak would be pain behind the eye when you pee) :eek:
Oh My God. I can’t even spell my own disease! That would be micturalgia
oops – I thought we were still talking about Bowler’s Nose!!
