Title: CH - The Movie!
Post by Groove on Apr 1^st, 2005, 11:00pm

First of all, hi. Been coming to this site since the dawn of recorded history and have posted only a few times because, well, let's just say I'm shy.

Anyway, I'm a filmmaker and I'm in the middle of a particularly nasty bout. As I was walking down to the pharmacy to refill my Trex prescription, I was suddenly inspired to write a little script about these damn monsters. And this is where YOU come in!

Basically, I'm looking for a few anecdotes about the "advice" friends, family or colleagues give. You know what I mean, right? We've all heard the armchair experts give us their voodoo home-brew recipies for everlasting relief, and I'm looking for the most outrageous (for comedic purposes, of course).

Anyone interested?

I got these two a while back from a guy who tells his butt to shut up when he farts. ;;D He told me to, 1) put a clothes pin on each earlobe, 2) put a big rubber band around my head and hang a large lead fishing weight on the effected side. [smiley=huh.gif] Joe

Here's what my closeones have said:

My aunt: "You don't have headaches. You're imagining it."

My mother: "Have a donut."

Best wishes,
Sandie

I had one Doc tell me to eat bran muffins and local honey everyday and that would clear 'em up in about 2 weeks, lol, he ain't my Doctor anymore [smiley=laugh.gif]

Two more notes, 1: have you seen the movie Pi? 2: I haven't seen any sneek peeks of star wars III yet but I'm convinced that Anakin goes over to the dark side because of CH. That whole helmet setup is just a clever way of disguising his O2.

My ex brought the banana peel theory back from Venzuela and Yes, I tried it. It don't work, but you're the hit of the fruitflies. ::)

Have you tried hot peppers up the nose -- only hurts AFTER the headache subsides!

Magnets on the pressure points (have some great memories of that one)

Of course there's always Kip's rape by the Rothweiler - hey, he forgot his headache for the time being - and all the pups are living on an undisclosed island and not up for adoption.

Then there was Drummer's mishap with the pepper cream and the Mr. Winkie tale.......

Go to the archives.... there are thousands of "cures" listed there. ;)

A lady from Indiana told me to put cooked cabbage on my head and wrap a warm towel around it and keep it there for a couple of hours. She was serious and said she's used it for many illinesses that has helped her. I never did to the cabbage thing so i can't say if it would work or not.
