gross.

Judging from this, I think Anne Geddes's next step should be a version of Laurie's beloved lotus boob that replaces the worms with infants.

i remember when i was younger my dad got sick one day and was couch ridden with an episode of cold sweats and congestion, having to frequently cough mucus up, so he used a cup next to the couch.  meanwhile, i mistook it for my cup of water...i took a nice, big gulp.

That's profoundly disgusting.

I was eating some ramen once (wait, that's not the gross bit) and noticed what appeared to be a tiny piece of noodle on my hand.  As I raised it to my mouth, it squirmed:  it was a segment of tapeworm from my cat Mitchell's ass. 

Coda:  I squealed and shook it off my thumb, so the story isn't as gross as it could be.

I don't know what a lotus boob is, but I happen to know that Anne Geddes has done the babies as worms thing. I'll see if I can find an image...

[Sarah]

This is a lotus boob.  (Don't click, Laurie.  You've seen it before anyway.  Hell, I learned about this from you.)

[erika]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I clicked. I'll never be the same.

[Sarah]

I'm so sorry, erika.  I thought that knowing Laurie finds it horrifying would be warning enough. 

But can't you just see little babies squirming around in there?  I think Bobo should get right on it.

If it makes you feel any better, the lotus boob is photoshopped.

Careful about following links on that page, it links to real things that are just as horrifying as the fake lotus breast.

[Bryan]

Oh. My.

I'm very sorry I registered my curiosity.

And yes, I can see a Geddes-ized version of that.

Once at a dimly-lit cocktail party, I fell victim of the "glass full of cigarette butts, ash, and some punch" thing. After a mortifying sip, I put it away and pretended like nothing happened. I'm nothing if not a class act.

Indeed.  I've only perfected that art over time.     Latest was New Years.  Swig of beer bottle, subtle gag reflex, set bottle down, calmly proceed to bathroom....BLLLLEEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!

And not mouth related, but a couple days ago I dropped something under the radiator.  Retrieved it, but felt something else too, so figured I should get it out, and reached back in.  Felt like a plastic piece with a couple prongs, and I was even thinking, "Oh Lord, I bet it's something gross..."

Crispy mouse.  BLLLEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!! x10 ('prongs' being 'paws')

A little over a year ago, when I first started posting, I clicked through a site linked in the bad tattoos thread and wound up at a photo essay of some poor girl who had gotten smooshed by a truck.  I was so traumatized that I lost a couple nights of sleep (what kind of ghoul would snap all those photos etc.) and almost abandoned the board for good.  I'm glad I came back.

That said, the lotus boob is pretty fucking horrible, photoshopped or not, and I am never ever clicking through the links on that Snopes page.

This sort of pales in comparison, but about 13 years ago I was a waiter and also a stoner idiot, and I would sometimes eat uneaten food from people's tables, provided it looked relatively untouched.  Well, a wad of gum stuck to a chicken finger broke me of that habit!

[Fig Neutron]

I haven't seen these, but I hear they are gross:

Sorry, no links, just a goof.

And I'm not sure what this one is, but seems pretty heavy....

Thanks, Fig!  Though I owe it all to Neil Numberman.
