Promote Your Blog on My Blog Right Now – Take III

by D.J. Paris on October 1, 2012

One of the posts I lost recently was the original Promote Your Blog On My Blog Right Now! Basically I gave the middle finger to my advertisers and said…

Hey, you know how you pay to be here each month? You’re a sucker because I’m going to let everyone do that shit for free!

I’m not sure if advertisers appreciate my level of honesty.

So…

It’s time once again to stick it to those losers!

Now, since I never do anything completely selfless, there is a string attached. The first time I rolled this I made you write me a poem. I think about fifty of you did. The next time I made you tell me something embarrassing about yourself. To the dude who made out with his sister in eighth grade – gross. Take that one to the grave next time.

You need to do two things. Hey, the blog’s more popular so you have to jump a little higher.

  1. Like my Facebook page – this is not a vanity thing. I’m going to do a contest in the next month that I want to make sure you’re in on. I have prizes and everything.
  2. Post a link to your blog in the comments and tell me one thing you do that’s GROSS.

I’ll go first.

I’ve briefly mentioned this before, but only in passing. I have peed in sinks. Hmm… Let’s start that again.

I pee in sinks. Like, not infrequently.

As a 6’2″ dude the sink is at perfect dong height. So, sometimes while I’m shaving… well… I’ll just not stop shaving. Now, I also live alone and can get away with this nonsense. My girlfriend is in the ATL and when she visits I curb the behavior. Also, before you vomit, remember that urine is sterile. Plus, I have the faucet running and then I swirl the water around to hide the shame. I’m going on (no joke) fifteen years of off-and-on sink peeing.

Okay, I brought it. Now it’s your turn.

Oh, and tell all your blogger friends to swing by and promote their site. All is welcome. Except blogs that talk about sink peeing. I’ve got that locked down.

Wil Wheaton Fan Art

For some reason I always use a Wil Wheaton photo on these posts. It’s tradition now. While Star Trek was for nerds Stand By Me had that great scene with the leeches that almost made me faint.

I get the whole peeing in sinks thing. Dudes stand up to pee and sinks are usually waist level, so it’s a convenience thing, kind of like how toilets are more convenient for women. Now, if you rinsed a dish with your pee before you use it for food, I would raise an eyebrow and maybe judge you a little bit, but hey, to each their own. I’ve been told I’m gross for putting heavy whipping cream in my coffee and eating the fat off of red meat. That’s honestly the only thing I can think of. Oh, and when I eat gold fish crackers at work, I put them in a coffee mug and eat them by sticking them to my tongue. So basically, I’m kind of french kissing my cracker mug. Because it’s either that or share them with coworkers. Screw those guys. http://cerebralmilkshake.wordpress.com/  <—- that’s my blog.

My blog is: http://catling-scribbles.blogspot.comGross stuff. Hmm. Well, speaking of peeing, I once drank my own pee out of a cup to prove a point (the sterile thing). If it has to be a more frequent thing… I don’t know. I sometimes bite my toenails on my feet. That’s a bit of a feat, I might add. Grossness and all, I feel totally catlike, though I probably don’t look half as graceful. Oh, and I always eat the tips of my scarfs. Don’t know if that is gross or just weird.

My blog link is http://www.gtforthemotherssoul.blogspot.caAs for something gross – I used to chew my toenails regularly. Thankfully I’ve had four kids and put a little on around the middle so I can’t get my toes up to my mouth anymore. There are some silver linings to weight gain I guess.As for peeing in the sink – well, there could be worse things I suppose – but I’m certainly not going to mention that to my boys – they have a hard enough time hitting the toilet – can’t imagine if they tried to use the sink.

My blog is http://laceyempire.com/.One gross thing I do is, well, you know how sometimes guys will have a special sock that they use when they’re entertaining their adultness? Well, my husband and I keep a towel like that beside the bed for handy post-coital cleanup, and by the time we get around to throwing it in the wash, it’s pretty crispy. Also, I buy yellow towels for that purpose because they don’t show the stains.

Defenestrated Feet October 1, 2012 at 8:48 pm

I’ll join in and admit that, like some others here, I also used to bite my toenails. (You gotta have something to pick at when your fingernails run out, right?) Thankfully, I’ve grown out of that.Hmmm, as something more current, I regularly deal directly with my menstrual discharge – one of the side effects of using silicone menstrual cups instead of letting it soak around in a gross pad or stuffing cotton up your hoo-hah. I think cups are great and I’m totally used to it by now, but if someone ever walked in on me emptying my cup during my period, my hand all bloody – I could easily see how they might vomit. Or faint. Somehow I don’t think I’m doing a very good sell job for cups. :( Oh well.You can find me over at http://www.defenestratedfeet.com!

Okay, my blog is: http://www.dsavannah.com/blog/  now go read it, darlings.I’m very sad you said we can’t use the peeing in the sink thing. I did that in college…. I’d stay in my boyfriend’s dorm room all night ~ a big no-no ~ and of course couldn’t go out of his room to the bathroom, for fear of getting caught. So peeing in the sink I did.Current grossness: I fart amazingly loudly. Ever since I had stomach surgery two years ago to correct acid reflux, I can’t belch as much, and have no idea if I can throw up. So, the air’s gotta go somewhere. My farts are truly epic.

But no matter what I eat, from one bite of something to a gigantic Vegas-style buffet meal, food INEVITABLY gets tuck in the space. If I don’t have floss with me… Yeah, this is gross and pretty crass, to be honest. I take my earring out and use the post like a toothpick to get the food bits out.

Peeing in the sink is  disgusting.  I freely pick my nose and wipe it on the side of my bed sheets or the floor of my car.  I figure that I’m going to wash the bed sheets (eventually) and boogers aren’t any worse than all the other crap on the floor of my car.  So really, neither of those are gross at all.  I have picked my nose and prepared someone else’s food.  That’s pretty gross.http://canigetanotherbottleofwhine.blogspot.com/And, BTW, you are hilarious.  And the comments on this post are freaking hilarious.

I’ll give you a few minor ones. I clean out my nose every morning, and dig out my ears with my pinky because they itch. (I’ve read that earplugs give you excessive earwax which is totally true because I’ve had to go to the doctor twice in a year to get the plug pulled out.) You wanna see something gross? Yeah, look at the earwax plug that comes out of your ear! Also, I belch really loudly, and my husband says that gross. He’s a total hypocrite – he farts up next to me all the time! http://katjaneway.blogspot.com/ My posts are usually pretty entertaining… just not… recently. :P It’s a blog about my life mostly so sometimes things get weird >_<

So, having given up on being polite, I leave composting deposits from my sink (and there are a lot of them and they STINK) right in their path. So every time our entitled trailblazers strut across our tiny little patch of land, they bring deposits of sink slime, tea detritus, food particles and other sinky love offerings to their homes, their cars and where ever else they may tread.
