Anyone tried that ear-wax trick?

Ha, I can so imagine you two dudes doing that.

I wanted to try it, but there was no way I would trust anyone, not even my girlfriend, with a match, paper, and my ear. Hell, I don't trust myself with any of those things. Seems the foundations of your relationship are much stronger (or stranger?) than my own.

I do need them syringing (sp) though. I'm guessing, next time I'm really drunk, I'm either going to get a tat or have this done. I'm just hoping it's the latter - I bruise like a eighty-year old hooker.

GROSS!!! Nice simile.

I used those Otext (sp) eardrops that are supposed to harden earwax and it just falls out, but that shits a crock!

Have you ever had you're ears done? De-waxed that is? Only I did. They give you that Otext (SIC) stuff to help loosen the wax there, then they stick a syringe (without needle) into your ear and pump a warm saline mix into your drum.

At the end, the nurse needed tweezers to get the last bit out. She put it on a piece of blotting paper for me to see. Man, it looked like a dog's dead fetus left out in the baking sun for month or two. All hairy and mangled. It was fucking gross. I guess she did it to shock me into cleaning my ears better. Didn't work though. Thing is, at the end of the session, I asked how could I clean my ears better and suggested ear buds. She said never use ear buds, it only forces the wax further into the ear. So I'm like, okay, then what can I use? Ans she's like, just clean them under the shower. On the way home I was thinking wax is water resistant. How the fuck is cleaning them with water going to remove it?!

I guess she means do your best with your fingers and alittle soap. crazy tramp.

I like to use buds, I think if you keep on top of it, its a good option.

"You'll find Ghost Mutt in da club, bottle full of buds..."

I had this done on many occasions because of wax build up in my ears...I guess i'm just used to it by now...I have severe problems with my ears (hearing, ringing in my ears, wax build up, infections). It feels good actually to get that stuff out, it does make your eyes water though. The only thing the doctor told me to do was buy a large syringe like that and clean my ears out once a week. Not happening, i don't trust myself with that, mainly because I've had surgery on my ears because my eardrums were mysteriously busted.

i wanna try, but can get enought ear wax, or maybe its a friend issue.

I've never tried it but i did notice it being done in a movie once. I know that sounds really bad on my part using a book to reinforce a statement in a book. But watch "Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels" and you'll see towards the end a bunch of guys get drunk and do the ear-paper-burn-wax-remover trick. However, as i haven't actually tried it, i don't know if it will work and don't recommend using the book as an excuse if you get hurt.

Only, I've seen guys light farts and shoot a big, quick, blue flame out of their ass. Most of them have also burned their ass a little bit doing this. Not even those guys were wild enough to put burning paper in their ears.

Ear candling is a ludicrous crock of shit that doesn't do anything, this has been proven scientifically, I think it was even on Myth Busters. There is no valid reason that it should work. Most of the crap that appears to be candled out of the ear comes from the ear candle itself, try it on an empty bottle for example and you will get the same exact results.

If you really want to get your ears clean, get the ear cleaning stuff with carboxylic acid in it, or use dilluted hydrogen peroxide. You leave it in a few minutes and let it foam, then rinse well with water. If your ears are too clean, you will be more succeptible to infection, because the ear wax is what makes the environment inhospitable to bacteria and the like.

The earwax trick from Choke is real, and it works. I've never done it personally but have talked to people who have known others to have done it. It has to be a sever case of earwax though, don't go trying this as an alternative to a q-tip.

If someone's got that much earwax, I expect they'd have bigger hygiene issues to deal with.

my aunt did that
she said it worked

Wasn't someone asking how it works up there?

I would assume, since it has the word candle and wicking associated with it, it works something like those.

The way a candle works is it melts the wax on the top of the candle and that wax is drawn up the wick and burns, hence the five seconds that it takes to burn that length of string becomes hours when you put the string in a lump of wax.

They sell these herbal tubes that basically do the same thing. I know those work because I have tried them. But I don't know if a plain old paper tube would work though. I haven't tried that yet.

ummmm

ive seen peopel ligth their farts on fire.

Its real dumbass

LoL at the "i have a friend who knows somebody who did this" guy, thats fuckin great. And IF it works (never tried it and I dont know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who...you get the idea) its because you light the end on fire, and since fire burns using oxygen, it will suck the oxygen out of the tube, and when there is no more oxygen, it will pull whatever it can. Just like taking a bottle with a thin top, put a lit match in it, then place a hard boiled egg and it will suck it down into the bottle. It seems like it would work though...
