    Oh hey here's a strange thing

    Turns out Pepto-Bismol can potentially turn your tongue black

    Guess who woke up and nearly had a heart attack this morning when she brushed her teeth

    (it's me)

    Got out of school once because of this even though it wasn't intentional.

    I chewed back a few pepto tablets in the middle of the night and went to back to bed thinking nothing more than "ow ow ow". Get up the next morning, take a shower, got to brush my teeth and then HOLY SHIT! My tongue is black.

    Had to go wake up the folks, which was fun. "Hey, guys? Morning. Sorry to wake you up, but, uh, I don't think I'm going to school today." "What, why?" "My tongue is black."

    They bolt upright in bed. Now, I'm a senior in HS at the time and they were cool with me taking a day here and there, so it's not like I had to fake things.

    To shorten this up after my mother shrieked and we determined that taste wasn't affected, they went off to work and I made an appointment for myself. Nurse at the doc office "what brings you in today?" Just shoved my tongue out and "ooooh wow. Uh, k."

    Thankfully doc knew what was up first thing.

    Apparently it's pretty much rust. Something in the pepto mixes with the air and oxidizes on your tongue.

    once i was confronted by a man outside of a mcdonalds in the parking lot. this was late night, some friends and myself had been grubbing on some dollar menu crap, and this guy comes up to me while we're figuring out where to go from there.

    asks me a lot of questions about if i workout, where, what did i do to workout, could i train him, etc. really weird shit with no fucking context, right?

    i tell him i gotta hit the road and leave.

    six months later i'm at work and the same guy comes in! starts asking me the same fucking questions again. except this time i'm trapped! he's asking me about jet ski tarps. i see a coworker and ask them to help creepy dude, claiming i have to go help load a grill for a customer.

    at 17 i didn't quite know how to handle that

    another strange incident which i find hilarious is the one coked up guy at the old bar i used to work at ordering two bud lights at a time, turning around to say something to his friend, and order two more.

    he accumulated a stockpile, at which point other people at the bar waiting for drinks just grabbed the beers and walked off. he kept ordering two at a time, probably around twenty, but they kept just disappearing.

    the whole time he's got a fucking line of coke from his lip to his nose just glued there.

    after a while he grabbed three beers and left like, two? on the bar.

    he walked by me and i wiped my nose at him and he wiped his on his shirt and gave me a thumbs up.

    running into customers you have in the service industry outside of work is really weird

    the power dynamic is all fucked up

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    running into people on my off time that associate me with the bar and act like i'm their drinking buddy is typically not fun for me

    i've seen you fucked up, and you're an idiot, get the hell away from me.

    When I was a kid, I recall my right ear hurting for a what felt like a considerable amount of time. After a while, I couldn't take it any more and walked into the bathroom. I pour water into my ear, thinking I could wash it out or something. Then I stuck my fingers as far as I could go, which was not very far.

    Except I managed to grab hold of something.

    And when I pulled, out came an inch-long mass of yellow and black and white. I had no idea what it was, all I knew was sweet relief that my ear didn't hurt anymore.

    It occurs to me now that it was probably a mass of earwax and cotton (I used to put cotton balls in my ears when I washed my hair).

    i have a friend who is deathly afraid of mustard (or was, it may only be a major dislike at this point)

    we always kinda teased him about it, but one day he got real fucked up and we covered his arm in mustard and he fucking freaked out. it was a straight up hissy fit.

    i kind of feel bad about it, but i can't stop giggling at how he screamed

    New York, NY — Known to crash parties all over the New York City area, Bill Murray will soon be giving the rest of the country the same treatment. It’s unclear the exact parties that he will be attending, but if you live in any of the cities that he plans to crash, Bill Murray might just be partying with you that night.

    Mr. Murray did not speak to reporters but did have his agent Paul Horner answer some of their questions and make a few statements. “Mr. Murray is looking to take a vacation around the United States. He’s hoping that if he shows up to your party with a bottle of wine or vegetable tray, you will be able to make the proper accommodations for him. This includes allowing him to sleep on your couch or in a spare bedroom, both of those options being completely acceptable.”

    I get the feeling that most people wouldn't be too put out by Bill Murray wanting to sleep on their couch.

    @TrippyJing i scooped vomit out of a urinal the other day without gagging

    I wonder how he developed a completely irrational fear of mustard. Maybe something traumatic happened in his child, like an enema with mustard.

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    he's a pretty cool dude but it completely blew us away you could have a fear of mustard like that

    If Bill Murray showed up at my house with a vegetable tray I don't... quite know what I would do.

    But it would be awesome.

    Bill Murray would never trick or betray you, Rachel.

    He wouldn't because then I would have wasted the 25% of my life to date that I have spent watching Bill Murray films.

    Man realtalk time

    sometimes you just have a massive glob of earwax stuck inside your ear

    when you manage to fish it out it might just be one of the few moments of pure bliss a man can have. Then you stare at it for a little while before getting rid of it. Right? You do that? Admit it.

    i wonder what percentage of bill murray rumours are true

    like, maybe he only crashed one party and it all snowballed from there

    or maybe he heard these rumours all floating around and thought, you know, this sounds like fun

    if i ever meet him i'll ask him

    A friend of mine went pretty deaf, so he went to the doctor and found out that when he cleaned his ears, he was pushing the wax deeper and it ended up blocking his ear canals.

    So he got his ears properly cleaned out, but he then had trouble sleeping because he lived on a pretty busy road and could now hear all the cars.

    If bill Murray showed up at my house with a bid a veggies we would watch ghostbusters.

    If it was fruit maybe ground hog day.

    I'm not sure what would happen if he had a meat tray.

    okay here are the opening paragraphs of the front page article of a free newspaper called The New Citizen my brother just brought home for us to enjoy
    The newspaper which you are now reading presents you with the most profound decision of your life. Namely, will you continue to support British Crown-directed international and national policies that will most assuredly kill you and your family, either by near-term global thermonuclear war, or by the "slow nuclear war" of globalisation, free trade, deregulation and that green fascism sometimes known as "environmentalism"? Those twin realities are so abundantly documented in this issue of The New Citizen that no rational being could possibly deny them.
    Or, will you right? That is, really fight? Make no mistake. You, personally have chosen to support these policies of Mayhem and Hell, if you have not actively joined the Citizens Electoral Council in a mass movement to defeat them.

    it continues in this vein for a good twenty pages

    also it denies both evolution and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

    I noticed that people were talking about how pepto could turn your mouth black. Were you aware eating nothing but raisin bran for about a week turns your poop green? I found this out firsthand.
