You are the only person I know who witnessed the tongue-sticking phenomenon. I thought that only happened in the Christmas Story. Poor Miguel!

Sadly…it was pre-meditated. Somehow, it turned out o.k. in the end

The noodle trick scored you a girl? You must tell the rest of this story sometime. I’m thinking you mustn’t have been thinking about flirting with her at the time when you decided to do your noodle trick, you must have had platonic thoughts for her or else figured you didn’t have a shot or something… surely? Surely not pre-meditated?

I really had no idea how much we had in common until you described this “noodle trick”. I personally hooked my partner by listing all fifty states in alphabetical order in one breath. We’re suave, you and I.

A neti convert! I love it.

I guess we are learning that there are many things one can do with a cooked noodle.

…and NO to the video. Besides, I would probably shoot it and then it would take me 10 years to get it edited. ha ha.

Ok, you did get me hooked on the neti pot but I am not sure I can go the noodle route. As children, my brother and I would swallow noodles and see how far we could get them down our throats before we pulled them back out and did it again. Glad we aren’t the only troubled souls out there

My last comment on this, I promise…..

I think my favorite thing about “the noodle trick” is the other name by which it is known: brain floss. The freakishness cannot be truly appreciated unless the performer is holding the ends of the noodle and pulling them in a flossing action.

I’d like to support Marjorie’s call for a video clip. It’s not for the faint of heart, but perhaps you could insert a disclaimer that “what you are about to see may be disturbing.”

The blogosphere would be agog and a-twitter with your amazing skill.

Oh my gosh….I hope I never see the noodle trick, but I am glad ti worked out for you!

Oh, you so convinced me. I withdraw the request. I will enjoy the freakishness without the visual. Thanks for the laugh.

Marjorie – I don’t anyone really wants to see that. There is a lot of gagging involved and my friend Anthony (from above) even threw up during the trick. I have never thrown up but I still have a sneaking suspicion that the trick is not that pleasant to watch. Freakishly exciting, perhaps. Pleasant, no.
