Screw what she's swallowing -- does she have some kind of Lawrence-Welk-style bubble machine in her stomach?

There is a connection between your eyes and nose - tears drain through a duct near the pulpy thingy in the inner corners of your eyes, and it lets out in your nasal cavity.  Here's a nice graphic illustration of the connection:



This guy snorts milk, then squirts it out of his eyes.  That probably get the ladies lining up, eh?

I knew a guy in high school who could do that. He could also regurgitate on command, such was his stomach control, no toothbrush required.

Oddly, he had all the nerd-girl tail at his command while I pined away in the corner, writing my stories and dieting unsuccessfully. He ended up marrying one of the cheerleaders.

the pulpy thingy in the inner corners of your eyes
Fun fact: that "pulpy thingy" is a vestigial nictitating membrane.  A third eyelid.  Evolution really gave us the short end of the stick!

On the other hand, think how creepy it would be if we had functioning third eyelids.  Then again, I suppose if we did, we'd be used to them and it wouldn't be creepy.

Screw that - I want skin that changes color according to my surroundings. That would be great here at work.

Well, there's one above your eye, one below - the nicitating membrane would be the third.

What the hell is she swallowing?

She chain drinks diet Coke. She also chews with her mouth open for the first few chews of each bite, even if it was really tiny bite.

I have a scent I wear, but only on special occasions.

This backfired on me the other night.   I went out, and was wearing "Calico Jack" which is a scent from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, that I mentioned earlier in this thread.  My drunk mutual friend hugged me when I arrived and then loudly announced "ARE YOU WEARING COLOGNE FOR SUZETTE?!"

A fellow tries to do the right things, clean up nice and all...

Does this help?

 I feel like less of a person for having watched that. Funny, though.

As for the extra eyelid: only REALLY cool if it closes horizontally rather than vertically.
