After my rather exciting and scary (but quite amusing) excursion last night to the local hospital in my little town, I am, in the spirit of NSG procrastination and randomness, asking about what strange things have entered various parts of NSG's bodies.

Last night I had a mosquito (I think) fly directly into my ear while watching All Saints (To those fellow Aussies laughing - I only get 1 channel at my house - the outback version of 7). It was a terrible experience for me and my housemate as we attempted to coax and then flush the little bastard out, and then I had to repair to the Emergency Department to have it removed. One of the nurses happened to be someone I see socially as well, which was rather embarrassing.

So what interesting or unique things have entered various parts of YOUR body.

And remember folks, this is a PG 13 forum.

Well, there was that time that I was hanging curtains while naked, and there was that potato on the table. I slipped and...

That's got a world of possibilities, that story.

There was this one time.. at band camp..

*edges away*

I know. :p

I was hoping to avoid that cliche. :rolleyes:;)

No one on NSG can ever avoid cliché's.

Wow, owww! Did you get to see its wax encrusted corpse after? Frick, that gave me the willies.

I shoved a pencil up my nose when I was in kindergarten. That sucked. I got stabbed in the hand with a pencil and had to pull the damn graphite out, I got stabbed in the hand with a calligraphy pen (still have the tiny little dot tattoo). Um, gravel in my knee when I was hit by a van whilst riding a bike. Glass in my cheek and my hand from getting hit in the head with a beer glass (thankfully not a mug). Swallowed a butterfly when I was a kid. All sorts of nasty slivers from climbing trees, etc etc...but nothing PG-13 that 'interesting or unique' entering my body other than that.

Oh, right. I think I'll stop talking now.

A catheter when I was knocked out in the hospital once...

Hot solder in the wrist, a little to the left of the artery. The sizzle of cooking flesh remains with me to this day.

Missed opportunity here, folks.

Imagine if the title referred to two supposed bands, playing a concert together.

"Bodily Orifices opening for Foreign Objects".

You're welcome.

*edges away*

Galloism Quick, use the dark side to drag her back in!

A catheter when I was knocked out in the hospital once...

Ugh, I hate it when they stick a catheter up in me...hurts like a bitch!

As for me, well I was farming naked one day, tripped and there was this cucumber...

and that is how I learn I was not gay.

Wow, lol...

Well, for me, I was knocked out, so sticking it in wasnt felt....However pulling it out...My god, lol...

Next time you see people holding up signs saying "Meat is Murder!", bring out one that says "Vegetables are Rape". See what happens.

Wow, lol...

Hell I welcomed the pulling out part...but at least I have some idea of what it feels like to give birth...

I was thinking more along the lines of band and song title

Only because it was someone I knew. Normally I wouldn't care.

You have clearly led an interesting life.

I only put the PG 13 classification for the mods benefit. Don't want to get into trouble. I'm a good girl :wink:

Large U shaped x-acto blade to left palm. Gravel to patella of right knee. .22 round to right side at waist. Any number of animal bites. Number 2 pencil inside of right forearm. Six inch long by one inch wide shard of glass, horizonally into outside of right foot at arch of foot....and more...

Not even ABC?

I wish I was there to see that lol, at least you are alright.

So what interesting or unique things have entered various parts of YOUR body.

As for unique things well probably nothing that I can think of right now.

At least nothing PG rated.

I live in government housing out here - repairs to television aerials are not high on the list of priorities for our wonderful government when there is exposed wiring and asbestos for them to fix in some areas. But its nice and cheap and comes straight out of my pay.

Ah I see, fair enough.

Thanks. I would get Austar, but it's too expensive and I have a comprehensive DVD collection.

There is hardly anything on Austar anyway, I would get rid of my Foxtel but it is part of the rent.

DVD's are the way to go.

I totally agree, but miss Gossip Girl and Channel V like crazy.

Glass and bits of gravel and wood at different times, but nothing directly in any natural orifice. Just little injuries.

My brother once stuck a few peas up his nose when he was little and then laughed about it. My dad had to pick them out- and when I say pick, I mean gently squeeze them down his nasal passage from the outside.

You have clearly led an interesting life.

Mmm good girls... errm I mean, excellent to hear keep up the splendid work. Psst my phone number is...


I had a screwdriver lodged in my abdomen, it fortunately missed the kidneys, stomach, and intestines despite the depth and angle of the wound. Didn't even leave a scar.

I once had a live chicken lodged in my ...

Oh, right. I think I'll stop talking now.So that was you on Pink Flamingos.
Ah. *nods*

Wasp in mouth. It was hiding between a sandwich.

I'm so lucky it bit my tongue instead of stinging it, suffocating because of a swollen tongue would have been a problem.

Ah yeah, Channel V wold be something I would miss dearly don't take away my iTunes 22 countdown or my daily download.

When my brother was a toddler, he used to stick things up his nose and in his ears. We never had to worry about him swallowing small parts because we knew he'd stick them up his nose instead.

The worst was pea gravel from the playground. He'd come to us and say, "Owie nose hurts," and we'd sigh and roll our eyes and take him to Intensive Care again. His personal best was 9 pieces of gravel in his left nostril and--I shit you not--14 in his right nostril. At the same time. We have a photo of these trophies laid out on a tissue after the nurses removed them.

Pencil lead in my hand about three decades ago. *checks* Yep, still there.

Swallowed some coins when I was younger.

Fishing hook in the ear... the person holding the rod is still credited with the largest catch that year in camp...

Ejecting a Gal stone...

then there was my first (and only) prostate exam... searching for Gal stones (the same one that ejected itself days later...

Personally, I once got a 5p coin stuck up my nose...can't remember how old I was. They're maybe 15mm across for non-UKers. Got it out with a pair of tweezers the following morning. No one ever knew.

Now...as a medical student my girlfriend has seen some weird and wonderful x-rays. 14 year old boy. Mother's vibrator. Back passage. An odd empty space where the battery should have gone. Actually, most of the amusing ones she's seen have involved vibrators and rear ends.

lol, I bet the mother won't be using that again.
