And I really don't like another word that means the same thing-"vomit". But then again, you probably couldn't make as good a rhyme with the word "upchuck" as you can with the word "vomit".

As a matter of fact, I there's no astrology sign or planet named "Ralph" that I know of-at least not yet. Come to think of it, I've only known one man named Ralph. And I've not known any women with that name at all, which isn't surprising since it is a male name. Btw, "Ralph" is an old English name which means "wolf counsel". I think that was a compliment.

19 Dec 07 - 03:09 AM (#2218726) Subject: RE: BS: Puke--thoughts needed, good or bad. From: GUEST,LTS pretending to work A friend used to say he had two long lost brothers who, in the manner of dead goldfish had been flushed down the loo. His father regretted flushing them and was often heard, late on a Saturday night, calling for them by name. They were called Ralph and Hughie. Puke is a good English word, supposedly invented by William Shakespeare - it appears in his 'seven ages of man' bit (can't remember where from, at work so can't check) where man appears as a baby 'mewling and puking in its mothers arms'. It's also the name of one of Gerald Durrells' dogs when he lived on Corfu as a boy. He'd been given two puppies for his birthday who had then been put in a side room to settle in, with some food and water. When the party expanded, they opened up the side room to find evidence that the dogs had enjoyed both. Hence they were named Widdle and Puke. LTS |

I was quite violent about it, so much so that I broke small veins in both eyes and turned them quite red around the blue eyeballs.

I could mention the Evil Eye and s-l-o-w-l-y flip up the sunglasses, leaving the person to whom I was talking to deal with two red eyes. Eventually the red (the injury is on the order of a bruise) turned yellow, another cool color for eyes. Then it faded and disappeared. But it was fun while it lasted.

From: Bat Goddess spew ralph (1st expulsion) followed by o'rourke (2nd expulsion) Ever since childhood i've really disliked puking or vomiting. (I guess we were taught vomit was more 'polite' than the word vomit. I think I tend to use the word barf most, Whatever I call it, I'll go through great effort to avoid it even though I know I'll most likely feel better afterwards. Might, too, have something to do (at least for the past 27 years) with having a composting toilet. We played a gig some years ago at a coastal cruise on the M/V Thomas Laighton for the Friends of Odiorne. Sea was rougher than optimal & th Laighton hasn't much draft/better for the river. Contributors getting very seasick sometimes suddenly. Had a kid spew his partially digested clam chowder all over my shoes. Coast Guard ended up taking a lot of people off so the rest could finish the cruise. Gig to remember. Linn |

20 Dec 07 - 08:21 PM (#2220037) Subject: RE: BS: Puke--thoughts needed, good or bad. From: Greg B Oh god. Puking while driving. That brings back an awful memory. I went to a flying-club meeting several years back. Consumed a couple donuts then realized I felt rather poorly. Very poorly indeed. Got in the car, and made it about two miles down the country road before I realized that something was going to erupt--- NOW. Pulled over, and actually go the door open before I chunderspewed on the ground, on the door, on my trousers, and unfortunately, on the dashboard of my beloved AUDI S4. Now, the S4 has very stylish fine screens over its dashboard and door stereo speakers. It was quite the job to get the bits out of there next day--- but I get ahead of myself. So there I was, by the side of the road, with vomit down the front of my trousers, wondering what to do about getting myself home. I knew I could drive, but the 'bung' I was giving off was not pleasant. So I did the only thing I could think of. I stepped behind the car, took off the soiled trousers, and tossed them into the boot, where a 'Weather-Tek' liner could come to no harm. Jumped into the driver's seat and all the 15 miles home prayed that a) I'd keep my few remaining cookies down and b) No officer of the law would find reason to pull my over and find me driving home in me Y-fronts (aka 'tighty whities'). Got back to the farm where I was at the time renting a loft over the garage and ran out and upstairs before my landlady or her daughter could spot me. Spent the next day or so groaning in the bed. There was something ignominious about hurling in the car when I can fly upside down and squiggly in an airplane and never bat an eye in situations which would make others toss up their toenails. Just remembered the rest of that Bernard Wrigley verse: "Last night outside the Chinese chippy I shouted out for Huey I'd had me share of pints of ale and curried pork chop suey But as I lay there in the gutter, I was glad I wore me Mac Because when I shouted out for Huey, someone answered back!" |

I've spent a great deal of the last 18 hours with a mewling, puking child... Limpit "decorated" the front room carpet yesterday - 'luckily' she'd been feeling poorly and hadn't eaten so it was just the blackcurrant drink she'd had an hour previously... ever seen purple snot? Just as well I had a new can of carpet cleaner handy and no pigeons. Anyone else seen 'The Meaning of Life' from the Monty Python crew? Remember Mr Creosote? "Jus wan moor waffer theen meent?" Allegedly, they used several gallons of Scotch Broth - a chunky meat and vegetable soup that bears an astonishing resemblance to those plastic puke puddles you can buy in joke shops for that scene. Some of the extras had not been completely prepared so quite a lot of those retches and heaves were real. I can honestly say I've not eaten Scotch Broth since seeing that film. LTS |

Playing table shuffleboard on Xmas Eve or reassembling the old toy train.... Naturally Christmas became ever more complex as we tried to fit in all the traditions. One year my (then about 6-yr old) sister ran downstairs to look at her presents, and the excitment overwhelmed her. She stared for a second, then ran to the kitchen sink and vomited violently! My father watched grimly. "Oh God, now we have to add this as well!" |

27 Dec 07 - 07:57 AM (#2223124) Subject: RE: BS: Puke--thoughts needed, good or bad. From: Mrs.Duck A few weeks back the whole family went down (one by one not all at the same time) with a stomach bug. First to suffer was Molly (8) who along with twin brother had been sent up to tidy bedroom in readiness for Christmas. Needless to say they did very little and by bedtime the floor was still covered in an assortment of books, toys and discarded clothes. The plastic bedside cabinet from IKEA was lying on its back also full of junk. I decided it was better tackled the next day and regretted that decision an hour later when Molly (who sleeps in the top bunk) got up to go to the loo and in mid ladder threw up covering all the stuff on the floor and filling the cabinet!! On the plus side there are now a lot fewer toys and books to tidy as they all went into the bin! The rest of the family confined their upchucking to suitable receptacles or so I thought. Our washing tub disappeared for a week or so but was discovered by Geoff last week in the dustbin. Evidently my eldest son (21 so we don't venture into his room often)thought it was just right for the purpose but didn't see the need to empty it or wash it out! Instead he just covered it with a towel for a week or two and then dumped it in the bin. Of course by this time the carrots had gone green and furry!! Even the bin men doidn't deserve that Christmas box so geoff did get it out, clean it and its back in its rightful place. Son is apparently suffering from post Christmas reflux today but this time if he doesn't clear up after himself he may find his bags packed and left by the bin! More turkey anyone? |
