A different sort of water pick?

Blog Guy, I know you are an expert on other cultures. A couple from India has moved in next door to us, and I’d like to invite them over for a drink. Any tips for me?
No, just make them feel really welcome and you’ll be fine. Oh, and naturally, break out your best nose cans for the occasion.
Excuse me?
Please, you DO know that Indians drink through their noses, right? Oh my gosh, what a cultural faux pas if you had offered them drinks in GLASSES! Look at these photos taken at a nice bar in Punjab, and learn from them.
But… But… I’m not sure our nose cans are fine enough! I’ll go online and order some better ones…. I’m SO thankful I checked with you!
We plan to offer guacamole dip and Doritos chips with the drinks. That’s okay, isn’t it?
Of course, but be sure to serve them in your best ear funnels.
Ear funnels? Um….

Heh. If they mean by “cure”, drowning, I’m all for it. Looks like a Darwin award in the making.
Now if I could just find my goat….
I wasnt into much yoga… except the usual SuryaNamaskars…
this is like really advanced stuff… and to me, very weird…
You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose… Geez, some things would be much better done in private. Must have been a wonderful sight for anyone passing by. And I bet they kept walking!
Look at the guy holding his ear like he is afraid the water is going to wash his brain out through it.
Well, to be honest… yoga is widely popular aint it?
More so in the west than at home really?
Unca.. you practice and teach yoga, dontcha?
@ Pilot, it looks like its already been washed out.

Looks like a line of people with a drinking problem.
@Insane… does that mean he is gonna become a zombie? Is that their plan, to make zombies?? Lock and load people, the time has come!
I saw “Zombieland” last night. Funny movie, ending kinda sucked.
OK, Unca, I’ll play the straight man. What kind of pot DO they use for the high colonics?
Time to nut up or shut up, pilot….
Imma trade in my medi-doughnut for a medi-Twinkie Mr. B.
Such a beautiful sight… NOT
:-@
@fwd079…don’t you mean “snot”?
High colonic. Who’s pouring?
Shantih. Shantih, Shantih.
(“Shantih,” repeated as here, is a formal ending to an Upanishad, meaning “the Peace which passeth under and through the nose holes while standing.”)
I think there are guacamole flavored Doritos if I am not mistaken.
See Spin it just keeps getting better and better!
If Guacamole Doritos do not exist in reality, I’m pretty sure they are referenced in Ezra Pound’s “The Cantos,” a poem of 120 cantos. I know for a fact there is a reference to Cool Ranch Doritos. But, you know, Pound wrote the best of the Cantos while deemed insane….
Doc is right. In those days, he was signing his text messages Ezra #
