Don't say 'um' or 'uh'. When there's a pause for thought and you need to insert something use 'Now.'

This is from the preface of an amazing autobiography.

I do.

So what exactly are you guys all using to test your gag reflexes?

I made a rule with my co-workers when I had a regular job that we could only go to Chipotle on Fridays. This is because I usually ate spicy food there, and I didn't want to deal with mild stomach aches and burning ****s the next morning at work. On Saturdays it's no problem, don't mind spending time relaxing on the bowl taking care of it.

Also, eating buffalo wings the night before a long train ride was a huge mistake.

Chunks of watermelon from salad bar should be weighed at whole seeded watermelon. It still says "Weigh your watermelon" and it costs like $0.75 instead of the ridiculous $6.50 for some cut up watermelon.

This happened on an episode of CSI. One of the cops dad hit and run someone and on the way in she had him drink some booze. Rumor/idea has been around longer than that though.

Peni...whoa! almost got me there. A finger ldo.

I will be using my peen for testing.

hahahaahaa yes.

this is probably super standard but when you retire a sponge from the kitchen use it in the bathroom for the rest of its life. No need to use brand new sponges to clean the bathroom. Just make sure you dont retire bathroom sponges to the kitchen.

Did you have a gag reflex to begin with?

What exactly have you been doing while I'm at work?

Stretch those thumbs out on the way home...

This is also how I tested this trick because I almost always gag while brushing the insides of my teeth.

It did not work.

When you clench your left hand you're overriding a nerve called the Glossopharyngeal nerve, but not all people will override this nerve.

Here's a couple really good ones imo:

-if you spend any amount of time at all in an establishment, get to know the server's and bartender's names. It usually takes me at least twice asking to remember a new one, but people really appreciate it and it also reaps countless rewards in the future.

-if you're at a bar or nightclub for only a night, get the bartenders name and anyone who serves you. Later when the bar or floor are packed, you can get the servers attention from across the room if need be or just go up to the crowded bar and when the bartender gets within earshot say something like 'Wow Mike...pretty slammed eh?". He'll be back shortly.

-free beer samples are never a problem. Take advantage of it. Try that Pumpkin Porter crap before you drink a pint of it.

I used my finger ldo

yes

Less carbs in diet, more greens.
Extra D-vitamin on days when not atleast 15mins in the sun.

Paypal has an unadvertised service that allows you to print shipping labels (USPS or UPS), just like you can when you sell on ebay. Here's the link:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now

You can print priority shipping labels on the USPS website, but this allows you to print the cheaper kinds for sending books/packages as well.

Just like on ebay? Wow, you'd think that they were owned by the same company or something!

A lot of water parks have locker rentals where you pay $X + Y for a key, and then return it for $X when you are done. If you go early in the day and leave early, there is usually a long line of people getting lockers. Usually you can sell them your key for more than $X, but less than what you paid for it. Likewise, if you go later in the day and people are returning lockers, you can buy your key from them for cheaper, and then just return it for the deposit back. If the line is long enough, people might be willing to pay full price for it, or sell it back for only the deposit.

I am aware, but the service is normally only visible when you are being directed there from the ebay site, because if you access it directly via the link I gave they aren't making much money on it. Try just logging into your account. You won't see a way to do shipping anywhere.

I don't know if this is still true, but when I was in HS we figured out that if you mail the USPS and ask for shipping tape, they will send it to you for free (we may have had to pay for s+h, not sure). We asked for 12 rolls, which is a GIANT amount of tape. So giant that AFAIK we never finished one. They sent us 12, for free. We spent about half of one taping people into balls after school. Best free item i ever got in the mail.

Don't see tape anymore, but you can get a bunch of free boxes here:

Doesn't work so well if there name is something like Bill, Bob or Tom...

Can someone really drunk, with the spins, at the end of a night, post a trip report on whether this will prevent spewing too? I feel there's at least a reasonable chance, low as it may be, that this might work at least until you can pass out.

prop bet drunk Canadians?
