I don't know him, Wiley, but if I did,
I'm sure I would have tried to goad him into it. No doubt about it...

Strat
roflmao which of course is what I do every time I read you man, you really are tops as a writer but why do I think you knew that kid and put him up to the marbles up the nose?

No doubt, Taps!
Who thinks of doing such things? Why would anyone want to emulate. Sheesh!

strat, since that video was put on YouTube, there are lots of crazy young fellows here in the US trying the same thing.   There are lots of YouTube videos there of different ones trying it for the first time.  Those are worse to watch than that one who is master at it.  Some of them make it and some don't.   As far as I am concerned, they would have to have a problem with their sanity.

You really are a very clever writer. I have just enjoyed myself reading the
last couple of your posts and had a great laugh. I could see those silly kids you and the thunder mug kid at your pranks. Great fun to read.

Very funny!
I'm sure you have never done anything like that, strat, but one might want to investigate this man's offspring...

never done this......

 This reminds me of a time when my youngest brother stuck a button

 up his nose and we couldn't get it out.  We ended up going to the

 neighbor's and he had him to hold his nose on one side and blow hard

 which caused it to pop out.  Why people do this kind of thing, I'll never

 know, but my brother was only about four years old.  "Great story!"

Painful story
I can just imagine how that poor mom felt.

It does paint quite the picture, Whacky!

Yikes, Taps!
Hadn't heard about that. Not sure I want to -- I would say that whatever happens, they would get what they deserve.

Oye is right, Fine Young Singer...
I can see where Jean Sheperd's story of the kid sticking his tongue to the cold flag pole comes from.

LOL I can just see that kid with a bag over the pot and marble up the nose!
A rose and a smile from me to you!
Bo =^. .^= too!

strat, I guess I can understand kids doing stupid things, but what about those adults who put a snake up their nose and let it go all the way and out through their mouth.  Now that's sick!

That sounds like an "I Love Lucy" episode gone awry!
Kids.  OYE.
