I just got a feeling that the troubles I've been having with my left contact lens today will lead to a horrible public transit winking incident on my commute home.

Because books.

But the actual physical act of kissing. WEIRD, yo.

Oh yeah. Other body parts are more logically puzzle-piecy, but mouths? On the surface, it seems as random to mash lips with someone as it does to swoop elbows a la RiffRaff and Magenta.

Although kissing has proven to be much more enjoyable.

IOgrossN, I've seen congealed (and not so congealed) vomit in public places. The subway in NY, one dive bar in particular. ::shudders::

tommyrot beat me to the weird foodstuff answer -- as they say, hunger is the best sauce... but seriously, you get desperate enough, you'll try eating dirt soup. (They do, in The Good Earth, btw.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Now I want a bowl of tasty stone soup.

Of course, it'd be even better with a little...

Because books.

There's pica, too (I think that's the name of it) where people with malnutrition will start to crave dirt or paper and other things. Apparently a lot of underprivileged pregnant women get it, I guess because the nutrients in the soil (um, yuck) actually count for something.

As much as brains squick me, I can't see any people who had to hunt and kill their own food turning up their noses at any part of any animal. Seems more reasonable to put the whole thing over the fire than wrestle with a pineapple or a coconut, actually.

Wasn't that in Grapes of Wrath? Chalk in the soil.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

people will eat bark, roots, leather

It's an odd segue, but...

Does anyone have suggestions on how to minimise the appearance of tooth marks on leather?

Make more tooth marks to create a beautiful pattern!
