Seconded, I've enjoyed your posts immensely in the last few years and it would be an ignoble end to the Legend of the Plunger.

At least consider publishing your adventures so I can buy hard copies for my leftist tankie idiot acquaintances to read.

I guess this is supposed to be something sort of valid about exactly how you use your diaphragm, but he's describing it like he's straight up inflating his duodenum or whatever.

You ever hallucinate while waking up straight from a dream?

I once hallucinated I was an entire Counterstrike: Source team while coming to. I felt like yawning but believed I had like 8 sets of lungs in my abdomen to fill. Somehow, I managed to suck a bunch of air into my stomach. The sensation startled me awake and I was belching and burping and felt like I was going to die for about a minute.

I expect this would be terrible for my digestive health if done with any regularity.

Final Update:

I went to the electronics market to meet a friend and get some stuff I can't get in India. We went down to a foreign supermarket that seems to have opened recently, completely hidden. They had these imported Swisher Sweet kind of garbage cigarillos, and I decided to get a pack for that nostalgic flavor. I was looking at some boxed prepared food in the cool table when some jackass forcefully shoves in front of me for no reason and then stands in my way and shouts at some workers while pointing.
Utterly pointless display of face on the foreigner. I move around him and look some more, buy some food, and am eating with my friend at the customer tables. A few minutes later the jackass shows up with some boxed food and sits on the table next to us. By his clothes and demeanor, it's easy to see he thinks his poo poo doesn't stink. His dad must be rich or something, he wasn't even that old.

He opens his box and sticks his mouth about 1 or 2cm from the food and starts sucking on it, not even using the chopsticks. He's seriously eating without his hands, just sticking his face into the food. It's crazy. I've seen people get super close while eating, but never like this. He was practically fellating his rice.
I poke my friend and point at the guy. We're sitting there watching this guy eat like a farm animal at a feed trough, and it is mesmerizing. I can't help it, since he faced all over me earlier, and I loudly say, while point at him, "LOOK AT THAT GUY! HE EATS LIKE AN ANIMAL. HE'S EATING LIKE A PIG!!!"
My friend laughs and tells me to not talk so loud. He glances over, food in his mouth, phone in his free hand. He glares at me, and then scoots over on his chair so his back is facing us and we can't see him eat.

On the train ride back I saw a white guy with super greasy hair wearing on both arms those silly wood "Buddhist" beads all the office buzzcuts love wearing to show their hope for getting lucky money. He had about 3-5 bracelets on either arm.

Thanks, y'all. I'll come back soon under a new name. I'm not even going to have internet the first couple weeks I get there anywhere, as bureaucracy to get services in India dictates one must go through 80 trillion hoops before some lazy bastard shows up and demands a bribe to do what you already paid the company for him to do. If the forums aren't dead by then, I got :10bux:
